우제찬

 

NAME. WOO JECHAN*, 우제찬, 禹帝燦 meaning "emperor, bright" can be loosely interpreted as "to shine bright like an emperor" (* sometimes alternatively spelled as "jaechan". while he doesn't really mind it, he will correct people if they mispronounce it)

 

OTHER NAMES.

ELIAS JECHAN WOO. his full name on all of his legal documents. he doesn't introduce himself as such, preferring to use either "elias woo" or "woo jechan".

ELIAS WOO. his english name on all of his legal documents, pronounced "ell-eye-as".

YU DICAN. his chinese name; direct transliteration of the hanja.

 

NICKNAMES.

DJ WOO. jechan is usually in charge of choosing and playing songs in the van when the members of eclipse are going to or coming back from a schedule, so the members (mainly juyeon) gave him the nickname "dj woo".

제사탄, JESATAN. this was a nickname given to him by fans because of his stage presence, which fans have likened to that of "being possessed by a demon/satan himself". variants of this nickname include satan's spawn, son of satan, satan, woo jesatan and woo satan.

THE LEADER'S SAVING GRACE. as jechan is an english speaker and is considered to be somewhat of a braincell in the group, he often helps the leader out with gathering the group together when they act out, so the members call him "the leader's saving grace" as a joke.

SUN'S TRANSLATOR. once again, due to jechan being an english speaker, he often translates for the members, but mainly for sun as he tends to forget words easily, because he's still not that fluent in korean.

DAL MEDIA'S EMPERORS. a joint nickname that he shares with his close friend twilight's rev, whose real name is moon jehyung. it's mainly because they both have the "emperor je" character in their names, but it's also because of their stage presence whenever they perform. if a collab between those two happens, we're all done for.

APPEARANCE.

easy on the eyes and known for his tall height, jechan really gives off the "k-drama love interest" or "the ceo's nephew" vibes. there have even been cases of people mistaking him as moon jehyung rather than woo jechan because of his appearance when people menion "the ceo's nephew". possessing a lithe physique packed with the right amount of muscle due to his years of dance, jechan possesses rather sharp and defined facial features that soften when he cracks into his signature, million-watt smile, sometimes described to be brighter than the sun itself.

 

a dramatic on the kibbe body scale, jechan is just ✨naturally long and skinny✨, with a long torso and even longer limbs, hence the reason why some people compare him to slender man and they're not wrong. and while he does adhere to some of the korean beauty standards, he also possesses skin that's slightly on the tanner scale due to all the time he spent at the beach back in his hometown of brisbane, australia, and slightly smaller, almond-shaped eyes. his skin is mostly whitewashed by korean fansites though, which is an act he hates with his whole being. it's impossible for jechan to look chubby because he's tall, so he doesn't really pack on that much weight and his weight remains stable because of his metabolism.

 

STYLE.

jechan's fashion can be summarized in two words: boyfriend material. while there are times he looks like he jumped straight out of bed and wore whatever he had lying around, 99.9% of the time, he puts a lot of effort into looking presentable.

 

with his sister being in the fashion industry, jechan is highly interested in fashion as well and his sister helps him out with his everyday outfits a lot, sending him pieces from her own line for practically free and presenting him with combination ideas that he can easily re-create and thrift. turtlenecks, hoodies, button-downs and soft sweaters make up a majority of jechan's closet, along with straight-cut jeans and formal pants, and the few pairs of trusted sweatpants that he owns. he usually opts for boots or durable sneakers as his choice of shoes. color-wise, jechan tends to go for mostly dark or neutral colors, like black, denim, tan and grey. he also likes looking glamorous and glitzy, so fans are also in for a treat when he suits up for awards shows.

 

OTHER.

you know how, sometimes, guys just use one towel for their body and face and still have clear skin? jechan is exactly that person. he has naturally clear skin without using any products, really, and this makes all the women in dal media extremely jealous of him because it's like how? when it comes to body modifications, jechan has more piercings than tattoos. on his left ear, he has four, triple lobes and an industrial, and on his right, he has six, double lobes, an orbital, a tragus and double helix. as for tattoos, he only has one, which is an aries constellation tattoo behind his left ear. it's a matching tattoo with his sister, since they're both aries. jechan is open to getting more tattoos, especially matching ones with his future partner.

woo jechan comes across as a human samoyed, and with how he shows his love and affection towards people, that statement might as well be true. you can count on jechan to be the warm, tender and loving presence you need in any given time, with a listening ear, advice when necessary and a hug, if you'd like one that is. friendly and kind, jechan is, fitting for his name, a bright light in the otherwise dark world, trying to spread as much of his own glow to the others as possible. he's energized and fulfilled through giving and loving. and what better way to show this affection to the members than clinging onto them like a koala, right? as someone who loves skinship, you can always find jechan hanging off of any member of eclipse, like in a concert if they're fooling around on stage, he is always seen having some form of skinship with a member or backhugging them and resting his chin on their shoulder. which is an adorable sight because he's just sitting/standing there like :3 with his cheeks drooping down.

 

jechan is smart, a little more book-smart than street-smart but has a good balance of both "smart"s nonetheless. he can read into situations well, is sharp, quick and savvy, and can make good decisions based on the situation he reads into. he has good intuition and can easily figure out if someone is trying to cheat or manipulate him, even though this sense of his has become clouded over the years because of his past experience at the hands of people back in australia, hence the "a little more book-smart than street-smart" bit mentioned earlier on. he's trying to dispel the clouds, he's trying his best. and he compensates for that by providing justification as to why he made such a decision if the cloudiness shows, explaining his side and admitting his faults if he is, indeed, at fault. this can make him be prone to manipulation since he can be swayed, but don't misunderstand. his intuition is just cloudy and a bit rusted, not useless, and he can still figure manipulation easily and try to pull himself away as much as he can.

 

jechan has extremely high empathetical skills and is easily overstimulated, in part due to his anxiety. and as a result, he feels more deeply about certain things, more so than some other people. he's the first one to cry in a sad or otherwise emotional situation, the first one to show his happiness when something good happens, one of the first ones to react during anything really. he's a highly sensitive person, and takes every single thing to heart, including criticism, whether it's constructive or destructive. he has different emotional reactions to both of those types, but while some people may just respond to the the negative words of someone with a "whatever" and an eyeroll, jechan really reflects on it. his reaction is way more intense and it's a very obvious reaction, you can clearly tell that he takes whatever is being said to heart. his face immediately drops and he employs certain tactics to avoid said criticism, like people-pleasing, criticizing himself first and avoiding the source of criticism altogether. for constructive criticism, he makes a mental note of it and, similar to destructive criticism, tries to avoid the source that evoked said criticism. it may be a good thing for constructive criticism when he's trying to record a song or learn a choreography, or just receiving input about something from someone, but for destructive criticism, it might actually come across to some people as a way of self-depreciation.

 

with the way he's highly sensitive to everything that's happening around him, would it be wrong to say that jechan is emotional? absolutely not. jechan is an emotional person. he's very in tune with his emotions and isn't afraid to show weakness, so to speak. he lets himself be happy, be angry, and cry. he will weep openly, mainly out of pride, if the members achieve something, like getting their first win. he's so used to hearing the phrases "don't take it so personally." or "why are you so sensitive?". he's trying not to take everything personally, he really is. but it's not like he has control over that. however, despite all of those things, he still manages to stand up tall and straight, and pull the gazes of people to him, from the way he walks to the way he just stands. he's charismatic and charming, and can even be described as a "korean james bond" due to his suave approach, charming personality and bright smile.

 

at his core, jechan wants to become someone who can help keep others out of danger. and he's willing to do everything for it. there are certain things that cut deep and hurt him, things that are hard to brush off. one of those things is people saying negative things about his fellow members. jechan is extremely protective of the members and will not let them receive a single wound from people's words even though it means he'll be the one that takes it all. with this protectiveness also comes a defensive personality and being more emotionally reactive. he's constantly in a state of fight when it comes to s and always feels like he has to defend them and himself, however much it may wear him down.

 

in some cases, this results in extremely savage remarks being thrown the other person's way. jechan is witty, has a great sense of timing and with his memory, he knows where to hit it that hurts. whether you're in his good or bad books, he'll remind you of the things that went down between you and him years ago, for different purposes. if you're on his good side, he'll only remind you of it to poke fun at and hopefully cringe at your past selves together. if you're on his bad side, he'll word his sentences in such a way that it'll leave its' mark on your mind, his gaze reminding you painfully of those times when it reaches yours. his good memory also works when he's roasting people, he brings up things from years ago that people may have forgotten about or repressed deep into their subconscious, enough to send them into a frenzy of cringe as those memories flood back.

 

woo jechan is also a highly anxious person. with the experience he has gone through at the hands of his former bullies, he has become a closed box, shy, private, timid, extremely cautious and unable to connect with new people, because he's afraid that he'll go through what he did again. and while he knows that the process is going to be hard, he can't help the cluster of "what if"'s from swarming around in his head. what if it all goes wrong? what if he goes through the same thing he did back in australia? he needs to know that being sure of himself is hard and that, at the end of the road, he needs to know that he knows himself at his core, he can be honest with himself. he knows what kind of heart he has, how he treats people and how he goes out of his way to bring joy to others. and no one can take that from him unless he gives people that power.

 

overall, woo jechan comes across as a human samoyed but he's actually a caterpillar, wrapped up in his cocoon, hiding away from the dangers of the world while he waits to become a butterfly. the journey to self-discovery and self-love is hard, and just like how a butterfly's wings strengthen by tearing open the cocoon by itself, jechan needs to go through this journey by himself. sure, s can provide him with moral support, but at the end of the day, if he wants to become a butterfly, the power lies in his own sense of self.

 

BACKGROUND.

the only son in a family of two children, elias jechan woo was born on april 18, 1999, in the suburbs of brisbane, queensland, australia. he was the apple of his parents' eye, and also blessed with an older sister three years her senior, named olivia jeshin woo who was more than happy to give her brother all of her love and affection, and protect him from everything in the world. jechan's childhood was pretty normal, with his parents, woo yeongho and kang miyeong, also known by their english names joseph and maria woo, working office jobs and making enough money to send their children to good schools and go on vacations.

 

ever since he was young, however, jechan had been an extremely shy and introverted kid, the common, stereotypical, lonely kid who has his nose buried in a book. yeongho, miyeong and jeshin tried everything to get him out of his shell and make some friends, and he eventually did so, but it was a very small bubble of people who were very close to him. so, yeongho and miyeong decided to sign him up for extracurriculars so that he could hopefully make more friends. and that's where the 5-year-old woo jechan met dance.

 

dance opened up the doors of a whole new world for him and he flourished, soaking up everything his instructor taught him like a sponge in water and his instructor, noticing how jechan was above average, repaid him in the form of praise. and long before he knew it, the small dance team of a few people became jechan's second family, and jechan himself became the heart of the said team. he was happy, he had finally found his place and he had a crush.

 

jechan knew for a while that he wasn't… like the other kids. he always thought men were more attractive than women and the only women he gushed about were from animes. but his crush on one of his first friends ever at the dance team was what basically made him have a crisis, the whole butterflies flapping their wings wildly inside his stomach type of crisis. could anyone blame him though? his friend was handsome, friendly, smart and cute. he couldn't open up about his orientation though. with brisbane's conservative outlook on the lgbtq+ community, he would be hate-crimed like crazy. but he knew he needed to let it out to someone. and he eventually did, to his sister. jeshin was extremely understanding though, and sat him down to have a talk with him. the talk ended in jechan finally putting a name to his crisis, admitting that he was gay and jeshin giving him a hug, telling him she was proud of him. but, if the way yeongho and miyeong had openly talked about how good it was that one of their co-workers had disowned their lesbian daughter was anything, jechan knew that he couldn't open up to them about his own sense of self. he'd end up the same way as that co-worker's daughter, no longer a part of the woo family. so, he repressed it, hid it deep in his subconscious.

 

it didn't take long before jechan started participating in his dance team's k-pop dance covers. while k-pop hadn't been that big of a thing back in those days as it is now, jechan's dance team still did k-pop dance covers and uploaded them to youtube. and one day, jechan walked in on the team huddled around one of the elder members' computer, watching seven guys that seemed way older than jechan, looking absolutely fantastic in their silver and black, shiny tank tops and black pants, standing on an ice-covered ground, dancing to a song with a really strong bass. needless to say, he fell in love. he learned the group name and the song later on, u-kiss and "neverland", and spent most of his free time after school and extracurriculars watching them perform on tv whenever he could catch them, his eyes bright and sparkly and his overly active mind filled with images of being like them, standing on stage, the audience cheering for him.

 

when jechan's friends from the dance team asked him if he wanted to meet for some food on a warm day in 2015, jechan agreed, thinking it'd be a fun day. and while waiting in line at a coffee shop to order his friends' and his drinks after losing a game of rock, paper, scissors, he was approached by a man in a neatly pressed suit. the man told jechan that he was working for an entertainment company, name not specified, and asked jechan if he'd be willing to audition. jechan answered yes, thinking that it'd be the same company as u-kiss, his lifelong role models, and took the man's card in a haste as the orders had come out. his friends were ecstatic upon hearing about his encounter with the man and encouraged him to audition. and when he went home that day, jechan took the card out of his pants' pocket to take a good look at it, to see if he could find the company name.

 

"dal media, est. 2013"

 

…what? that did not sound like the name of the company that u-kiss was under. not at all. but it didn't matter. as long as he got to meet u-kiss, any company would suffice. when he went to talk to his parents that day, he was met with another pleasant surprise. he thought that yeongho and miyeong wouldn't accept his choice of career, as idolhood didn't seem like a stable career path. but, yeongho and miyeong were surprisingly very accepting, telling jechan that they'd known for a while that he wanted to be an idol.

 

"you looked at that group, what are their names, u-kiss? as if they created the entire universe and gave it all to you as a gift." was the exact sentence that miyeong said, and jechan covered his face in embarrassment, the boisterous laughter of his father filling his ears as jeshin hugged him happily.

 

and so audition jechan did, feeling so small under the gazes of the representatives that watched him as he performed u-kiss' latest song at the time, playground, his voice cracking a few times due to his nerves. however, the dance audition he did with u-kiss' neverland, one of his favorite dances of all time and what brought his dream to light in the first place, made up for it. or at least, that's what he liked to think. apparently, the representatives thought the same, because when he got an email a few weeks later, it was anything but rejecting.

 

"welcome to dal media, woo jechan-ssi."

 

LIKES.

ALL GENRES OF DANCE. he's most fascinated by ballet, even though it's the hardest for him to execute because the angles are a pain.

ANIMALS. he's a dog person even though he likes cats as well.

BAKED GOODS. if it has dough and batter in it and it's baked, jechan will eat it. his favorite ones are muffins, cookies and cinnamon rolls.

BEACHES. back when he lived in brisbane, he used to frequent the streets beach either with family or friends and just have fun, as it was a 15-minute bus ride from his home. since moving to south korea, he hasn't had the chance to visit the beaches in south korea, so he'd love to do that with the eclipse members.

COFFEE. like most australians, jechan himself also loves coffee can even be considered a coffee snob really and needs to have at least one cup to function throughout the day. the caffeine keeps him going. his go-to order is flat white because #australian.

MEMES. jechan loves all kinds of memes. his favorite is the megamind "no es?" meme though. this exact photo is his profile picture in kkt.

RAIN. rain is a common occurance during fall and winter where he's from, and it's easily jechan's favorite type of weather. the pitter patter of the drops just makes him relax and allows his creative juices to flow.

ROMANCE. jechan is a hopeless romantic and it shows in the content he likes as well. he dreams of having a boyfriend that he can do all the things that couples in k-dramas do. sun arthit says hello.

TATTOOS. he especially loves the ones with a story behind them, as seen by how often he fanboys over huxiao's tattoos. as the only tattoo he has is the aries tattoo behind his ear, jechan is definitely planning on getting more tattoos soon.

VINES. rip the app, it was, and still is, his sense of humor. jechan's favorite one is easily "deez nuts" even though he won't mention it on camera ever. someone once commented exactly that on one of his and junsu's vlives though, and their reactions were priceless. jechan spat his coffee out and junsu was rolling on the floor laughing.

WATCHING SPORTS. his favorite sport is tennis, so he keeps up with tennis news and matches a lot, especially the australian open, which he watches with his sister. he especially enjoys watching large-scale events like the olympics and the world cup, via a watch party with his friends and family, and in the future, eclipse members. he really wants to watch the australian open live once in his life though.

sun arthit kanchana

 

DISLIKES.

ALCOHOL. he doesn't hate it, in fact, he does drink in social settings but he's the type to finish one beer by the time the party is over. also, his alcohol tolerance is absolute .

BEING OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN. don't be mistaken, he does like rainy weather, but he prefers being indoors with a coffee and either his laptop or a good book when it's raining heavily. while he doesn't mind idle walks in the rain, if he's rushing somewhere, rain is not ideal for him.

BEING ORDERED AROUND. especially if he was going to do the thing he was ordered to do already. like "clean your room", thanks now he doesn't want to do it, purely because someone told him to.

BLOOD. he's extremely squeamish, so even the sight of the slightest drop of blood will make him dizzy and nauseous.

BUGS. he's not afraid of them. come on, he's australian, he'll kill them without hesitation. but it's just annoying when they invade his place, especially if he has just cleaned it. he especially hates ants because infestations and flying cockroaches, because who in their right mind would give those sewer rats wings?!

CUCUMBERS. similar to monsta x' minhyuk, exo's baekhyun and somi, jechan absolutely cannot eat cucumbers. he's not allergic but he absolutely cannot stand the smell and taste.

DOING AEGYO. he can't do it and it makes him cringe horribly. if it helps the group, he will take part in it as long as it's not too embarrassing, he has a reputation to uphold after all. do not make him attempt to try the ottoke song though, he will hit you. no offense to oh my girl's hyojung or viviz' eunha, but the song just makes him cringe horribly.

FALLING ILL. jechan has atopy so it makes his immune system more sensitive to common allergic triggers. as a result, he was in and out of hospital pretty frequently as a child and still has sensitivity towards allergic triggers. he hates everything about falling ill.

HORROR MOVIES. while he doesn't mind watching them, he gets pretty paranoid afterwards, assuming that even the smallest shadow in the corner is a monster that's out to get him. he also hates psychological thrillers, they really mess with his mental state.

SMALL SPACES. jechan is horribly claustrophobic and panics horribly whenever he needs to be in a small space. he had to get an mri done once as a child and he panicked so badly he threw up. he needs to have someone with him if he's going to take the elevator or ride in a small car.

 

HABITS.

CRUSHING. most people usually can't tell when jechan has a crush on someone, because he acts the exact same way around them as he does with others. but, he does pay more attention to them than normal, and that's probably the only telling point. his sister, jeshin, however, almost always seems to know who jechan has a crush on. …go off sibling telepathy, i guess.

EXPRESSIVE. jechan is a very expressive and reactive person and has a facial expression for almost any kind of situation. his variety of expressions and reactions, mostly scared ones, are very popular within the fandom and are often used as reaction memes.

FIDDLING WITH HIS PIERCINGS. jechan fiddles with his piercings a lot, especially when he's concentrating on something. while he plays with all of them on the daily, he plays with the helix piercings on his right ear a lot.

FRUSTRATED/SAD. jechan is an emotional baby, so it's easy to tell when he's frustrated or sad because he cries. loudly.

HOLDING HANDS WITH THE MEMBERS. while his primary love language isn't physical touch (it's quality time), he finds comfort in holding the members' hands.

GOOD MEMORY. jechan has a very good memory and remembers the things members have mentioned they liked or disliked, regardless of the amount it was mentioned or the time it was mentioned. jehyung once mentioned way back during their trainee times that it'd be nice to receive a spotify playlist as a birthday gift and on his birthday just before twilight's debut, jechan gifted jehyung a spotify playlist he created specifically for jehyung.

NERVOUS. it's easy to tell when jechan is nervous. he averts his gaze and fiddles with, literally, everything. his hair, his clothes, his fingers, his piercings, everything.

USING AUSTRALIAN SLANG. he frequently uses australian slang when he's speaking to his sister or the fellow australians. sadly, out of everyone in dal media, only willow and kwangsu can understand what he's saying when he does, as they're also from australia.

 

HOBBIES.

CREATING PLAYLISTS. ever since diving deep into the world of spotify, jechan has found great joy in creating playlists, both for himself and for others and usually gifts them to people on their birthdays. his playlists for others are described as "catered to them" and "erupting emotions in them they didn't know they possessed." he even designs the covers himself.

DRAWING. he mindlessly doodles on any piece of loose paper he can find when he's taking a break and whatnot. he also comes up with tattoo designs that he'd love to get someday.

DANCING. he can be found mostly in the dance practice rooms, practicing one of their choreographers' choreographies or trying to come up with choreographies himself.

EATING. his favorite foods are, in his words, "anything that doesn't have cucumbers in them."

GAMING. like most people his age, jechan loves computer games. he can't find the time to game as much as he used to, but he does play genshin impact when he can. his current team is bennett, diluc, sucrose and xingqiu.

LISTENING TO MUSIC. he has a lot of playlists on spotify which are marked with his representative emoji. he separated them by genre and what he listens to depends on his mood.

WATCHING NETFLIX SHOWS. his favorite shows are friends, the good place and modern family.

WORKING OUT. he picked up working out after he joined dal media, in order to keep up with the choreographies and improve his muscle density and stamina.

REPRESENTATIVE EMOJI. the crown emoji "👑", representing the "emperor" part of his name.

WHAT'S IN JECHAN'S BAG. phone, charger, wallet with atm card and cash, airpods, contact lens case, eyedrops, spare jacket or hoodie, sunscreen, sunglasses, spare earring backs (this has a story behind them), giant medicine pouch, a crap ton of snacks that he shares with the members, travel size toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash.

— jechan is from the danyang woo clan, the same clan as u-kiss' kevin (which he deems a huge honor), block b's zico and rapper ₩uNo.

— the reason why he started carrying spare earring backs in his bag was because of an incident that happened when he was back home at australia during a break in his training. his sister jeshin ended up almost losing one of her earrings due to the back falling out while they were walking around in the mall and they had to search the entire mall for earring backs. after this incident, jechan ordered a bunch of earring backs to his house and put some in his bag, leaving the rest to his sister and mother. he carries spare earring backs in his bag to this day, just in case his or a member's earring back falls out.

— jechan attended secondary school in australia under his english name "elias woo" but chose not to continue school after year 10 as he became a trainee in dal media. if he were not an idol, he says he'd have either become a choreographer or continued studying and enrolled in university, most probably as a dance major.

— hates, hates, hates playing imposter in among us. he's not good at being sneaky and lying, so he always gets caught. however, he also sometimes fails when he gets to be crewmate. the imposter could vent in front of him but he wouldn't notice, since he's hyper-focused on his tasks.

— jechan doesn't have a driver's license but is thinking of getting an international one if he does, so that in the case of him returning to australia, he can drive there as well.

— jechan has an iphone eleven pro max in graphite with a dobby phone case.

— he also has a pair of airpods pro, with no case as of now.

— both his lockscreen and wallpaper is a simple, black one that he found off the internet.

— due to brisbane being a conservative city, jechan hasn't really had the chance to really explore his uality, but he knows he's both romantically and ually attracted to men and men only. however, he's deep in the closet and due to south korea's outlook on the lgbtq+ community, it seems he'll be this way for a while. and as he also avoids any talk about ual orientations in general, it has caused people, and even at times eclipse members and fellow dal media labelmates, to think that he's homophobic but they're usually convinced he's, at the very least, bicurious when they hear his gender neutral answer to the ideal type question.

— jechan avoids the ideal type questions like a plague, but if he has to state one, he says someone who shares similar interests with him. people don't miss the gender neutral nature of his answer.

— jechan is left-handed and suffers the consequences of it daily, as most tools, procedures and vehicles are designed with right-handed people in mind.

— while jechan isn't the most active member on eclipse's social media, when he does hold livestreams, it's usually him doing dance covers or q&a sessions on vlive. he's also known for posting dance practice videos on eclipse's instagram.

— the woo family has a black labrador named safari that was only a year old when jechan left for south korea. safari currently lives with jechan's sister, jeshin, in her house in australia and she constantly updates jechan on her health and sends pictures and videos of her to him.

 

SPECIAL TALENTS.

RUBBER CHICKEN TOY IMPERSONATION. he can imitate the famed yellow rubber chicken toy that lets out a sound when squished. he can even change the volume depending on how hard he's "squished" by a member. (reference, i need this to happen in a variety show)

U-KISS FANBOY. he's a big, soohyun-biased kissme and knows all their songs, fanchants and dances, even the solos.

 

SUPERLATIVES.

MOST LIKELY TO OPEN A DOG CAFE. with how much he loves dogs and his love for coffee and baked goods, the members of eclipse have voted jechan as the member that would most likely open a dog café.

FUNNIEST REACTIONS. jechan has a comically large amount of facial expressions that fans almost immediately turn into memes, frame and hang in the twitter hall of fame for all of eternity. it has gotten so bad that even the members themselves use jechan's memes as reaction photos in their group chats.

MOST LIKELY TO VENT IN FRONT OF A CREWMATE. with his absent-minded nature and his constant failures at among us, this was a unanimous vote for jechan, with the members saying "he'd vent in front of a crewmate, chase the crewmate to the emergency button, the crewmate would call the meeting and he'd try to gaslight us into thinking he's innocent but fail and get voted off." (referencing this amazing moment from verivery's belbel land)

WORST AMONG US PLAYER. going hand-in-hand with the "most likely to vent in front of a crewmate", jechan was, once again, voted unanimously.

BEST BUG KILLER IN ECLIPSE. he's australian. that should explain a lot. spiders, cockroaches and whatnot are nothing to him and he can kill them easily.

JECHAN. i've only had sun for a day and a half but if anything happened to him, i would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

JECHAN. i'm so happy two of my favorite people are getting along now.

YEONSEOK. uh, jehyung and minju are not getting along.

JECHAN. they're not trying to kill each other.

YEONSEOK. you may have a point.

 

SUN. oh no, the power went out.

JECHAN. don't worry, i got this.

JECHAN. *shakes rapidly and starts to light up*

SUN. what–?

JECHAN. i swallowed a glow stick!

SUN, ON THE VERGE OF TEARS. WHY WOULD YOU–

 

JECHAN, SHOOING JUNSU AWAY. can you go be depressed over there? you're bumming out my whole area.

JECHAN. you and me!

SUN. *tearing up* okay, cool.

 

SUNGJIN. WHAT ARE YOUR ADJECTIVES?

JUNSU. *blows an air horn at jechan and kwangsu* GET ED

 

RELATIONSHIPS

 

WOO YEONGHO & KANG MIYEONG (JOSEPH & MARIA WOO), PARENTS

woo yeongho and kang miyeong, better known as joseph and maria woo in australia, are the proud parents of olivia jeshin woo and elias jechan woo. jechan has a pretty civil relationship with his parents. he does get along well with them and they talk whenever jechan has time from his work, but there are secrets he has that he'd rather not have them find out. they don't know that he's gay. jechan is 100% sure that they'd disown him if he came out sadly, as they're both from very conservative families and are not supportive of the lgbtq+ community. yeongho and miyeong still live in brisbane.

 

OLIVIA JESHIN WOO, OLDER SISTER, 1996, ENFP

besides having the (mis)fortune of being elias jechan woo's older sister by three years, olivia jeshin woo is also a fashion designer with her own, slowly growing fashion brand, LI, which her parents help manage. they may not look exactly alike but their personalities are one and the same. due to their careers now, they don't get to talk as much but when they do, it's loud with heavy aussie accents and filled with aussie slang. jechan knows that he can rely on his sister for anything and jeshin makes sure that he never forgets that. jeshin also knows her brother is gay, as she was the first person jechan came out to when he was 15 and jeshin was 18. not that he needed to, as she could just tell, but she still felt reassured and happy to know that her brother trusted her with such a crucial part of himself. and that's why, she has a tattoo of a rainbow on her left shoulder as a way of showing support toward her brother, alongside the matching aries constellation tattoos that they have behind their left ears.

(faceclaim: sistar's dasom)

 

ECLIPSE

being quite the affectionate individual despite his introverted disposition, jechan gets along with the members of eclipse just fine. eclipse is his found family, his rides or dies, his best friends and closest companions, and he more often than not ends up referring to them as his family. minju and haenim are the parents (since they're the leaders), arin is the friendly older sister/cool aunt figure, junsu is the tom to jechan's jerry, sangwoo is his gym buddy and fellow hypeman, asuka, hyunjoo, yeonseok, soye and sorano are the younger siblings he never had and kwangsu is his décalcomanie, his almost equal as they're both from australia, both members of the lgbtq+ community (even though jechan is closeted) and both clingy and charismatic as hell. out of the boys, jechan would say he's closest to kwangsu for the reasons mentioned just now, with haenim coming at a close second.

OTHERS

 

AUSSIE LINE, FRIENDS, IDOLS, VARIES

a group of idols of various ages brought together by a single common fact, that they're all from australia, jechan is a part of this group that's called "aussie line". while the group can't meet up in person as much due to their separate schedules, they have their own secret group chat where they all spill tea about their respective groups and chat quite often. among the members in this group chat, jechan is closest to, asides from fellow member kwangsu, stray kids' bang chan and felix, and twilight's wil. (in the future, he'll also become close with enhypen's jake, pandora's sage, jane and dieu.)

 

STAGE NAME. JECHAN (제찬) rather than going by his english name "elias", jechan decided to go with his korean name instead. sure, elias is a unique name, but it is bound to be mispronounced, and he doesn't really want to correct people every time, so he just decided to go with "jechan".

PLOTLINE. sun 03 (back up: moon 03 or moon 02)

 

VOCAL TWIN. ONLYONEOF'S YOOJUNG possessing a usually soft voice that can turn seductive in a second for any kind of concept that eclipse does, jechan's voice is distinct and fitting for any sound. vocal trainers and producers in dal media have likened the capability of his voice to that of a chameleon, so jechan is also referred to as "eclipse's vocal chameleon". (back up: the boyz' q, ateez' yunho)

DANCE TWIN. ONLYONEOF'S YOOJUNG choosing to focus on a mixture of fluidity and clarity when it comes to his dancing, jechan immediately catches the eyes of potential fans of eclipse during performances, starting and stopping the movements fully and clearly, and not missing details. with his previous experience in dance classes, coupled with his training in dal media, jechan can follow the dance for any concept, from strong to y to even girl group dances, which he approaches with respect and doesn't "masculinize" any move. (back up: the boyz' q, ateez' yunho)

RAP TWIN. STRAY KIDS' CHANGBIN just in case he chosen for moon 03. (back up: ateez' hongjoong, seventeen's s.coups)

SPEECH TWIN. ENHYPEN'S JAKE described as boyish and fitting for his age, jechan's way of speech, both in english and korean, is also very eloquent and smooth, with his australian accent making itself present whenever he speaks english. (back up: stray kids' bang chan, luminous' steven kim)

 

TRAINEE YEARS.

2015 - 2021. dal media.

 

TRAINEE LIFE.

if you asked him about his experience as an idol, jechan would say the hardest and the most fun part for him would be training, yes, at the same time. as someone with only prior dance experience and thinking that he bombed his audition, he didn't really know how he managed to be accepted into dal media. with his parents' and sister's belief in him and his trainers' praise, jechan started really giving his all into practice and making friends, as well as supporting his sister on her own endeavors as a fashion designer. and it all paid off in the end, because not only did jeshin finally release her own fashion line, jechan himself ended up improving more in his dancing and vocals, and having scored a spot in eclipse, dal media's second ever co-ed group.

 

PRE-DEBUT EXPERIENCES.

DANCE CLASSES. jechan attended dance classes every weekend since he was enrolled in 2004 up until he auditioned for and got accepted into dal media in 2015. he can be found in several of his dance team's performances under the name "elias woo".

TO BE CONTINUED (FT. TERRI OF ROSE). this was a song that jechan and terri from rose wrote the lyrics for together. and with help from one of their fellow friends who was a producer, they ended up performing this song for one of their evaluations and did very well. (might be released as a track on a rose or eclipse album in the future maybe?)

 

HEADLINES.

2022 DAL MEDIA REVEALED TO HAVE TAKEN LEGAL ACTION AGAINST INDIVIDUAL THREATENING ECLIPSE'S JECHAN TRUE with eclipse's popularity picking up, jechan started gaining popularity for his dancing abilities and overall cheerful and soft personality and demeanor, not just in korea but in other countries as well. and other countries also mean his hometown of australia. and with that, an unknown number began sending messages to jechan. the individual was someone in jechan's dance classes back in australia who was jealous of all the praise he got and began sending threats to him, threats of outing him to public and to his parents. with jechan being comfortable in his uality by that time and having come out to the members of eclipse, he wasted no time in showing the messages to moon hyojin, the ceo of dal media, and came out to her as gay as well. as she had established dal media with the intentions of creating a welcoming place for all trainees regardless of age, ethnicity, looks, uality or size, hyojin accepted jechan with open arms and immediately started lawsuit procedures, claiming that the individual "was a classmate of jechan in dance class back in australia and made up baseless threats to bring him down."

 

FUTURE EXPERIENCES.

MENTORSHIP. with his background and knowledge in dance and his hypeman personality, jechan is more than capable to be a dance mentor in a survival show like the produce or the planet series or a dance-based competition.

 

ซัน อาทิตย์ กาญจนาพร

 

NAME. sun arthit kanchana, ซัน อาทิตย์ กาญจนาพร

BACKUP. matchmake :3

 

BIRTHDATE. march 2, 1998

OCCUPATION. makeup artist

 

OTHER NAMES/NICKNAMES.

SUN. his chue len, aka thai nickname. it's derived from his name's meaning as arthit means sun. he is called sun by literally anyone and everyone. as sun is older than jechan, jechan also adds "hyung" to the end of this nickname, so it becomes "sun hyung"

SUNSHINE. coming from his chue len, most people think his real name is sunshine and think that's where sun is derived from (the couldn't be more wrong, his real name arthit actually means sun, which is where his chue len is derived from).

ANGEL. this nickname stems from a lot of things. one, his angelic singing voice, many of his fans saying he has a voice of an angel. two, he's so sweet and kind, gentle like an angel.

SUNLIGHT. a nickname jechan gave sun, derived from the meaning of his name and everything. this becomes jechan's main nickname towards sun after they start dating.

 

PERSONALITY. click the pic <3

 

LOVE STORY.

STATUS. groupmates, mutually simping for each other

ENDING STATUS. #jesun

Hey Haru! Thanks so much for creating another character for the DAL Media universe! Let's get right into the review!

Ah a girl from Melbourne. Characters from Melbourne always have a soft spot in my heart since that's where I'm from! Since you mention that Jane is the main name she goes by, if she is chosen it will be the main name used for her in profiles and the story as I assume thats what Jane would want. In her trivia section you say that she left high school in year eleven in 2020 and that it was the minimum age to leave, I just wanted to let you know that the minimum age to leave is actually sixteen in Victoria so she could have left two years earlier in year nine. Other than that, Jane is wonderful! I really like her and think that she could be an awesome fit for Pandora!

Since there is nothing wrong with her I'm going to go ahead and accept her! Please let me know when you fill in more information or change anything so I can have a peek! Thanks again for submitting another great character!

Hello again Haru! I am always so excited whenever you submit a character because they always are so amazing and this time is no different!

I really love Jiheon. I really like all her pre-debut experience and think she fits the plotline of the undesirable quite well. All in all she is an amazing character! I'll keep her review nice and short and let you know that Jiheon has been accepted! Please let me know once you fill in the rest of her relationships and love story with Junsu so I can read them.

Thanks for submitting another amazing character for DAL Media!

Could you please finish Jechan and Haenim's relationship section (at least with his relationship with the eclipse members, specifically the boys as I am trying to work out the dorm groupings). Thank you!

Hello again Haru! For the sake of saving time I am going to combine both reviews, so lets get into it!

First off, the way you write is so lovely! I love when I can read an app and it feels like a full fledged story. And yours did that! Haenim and Jechan are both amazing characters. Heanim's story made me really feel for him. He has been through so much, and you did a really great job of making it all make sense and feel realistic. Honestly I just wanna give him a big hug.

With Jechan, there are so many similarities with myself it freaked me out a little (and the fact that his english name is an anagram of mine. wild.). If there is anything I would be able to write about well it would be an Australian Soohyun biased Kissme. If he is chosen I feel like all my useless UKISS knowledge will finally come in handy.

All in all, I wanna keep this short and let you know that I love both your boys and that they have been accepted!

HELLO HARU! I am so sorry I have made you wait for this review for so long so lets get right into it.

First off, your application for Minju is amazing and so detailed. With Dal Media getting bigger and bigger there are so many other characters in the universe and you didn't have to include them all in your application but I am so happy you took the time to do so! Minju is just such a lovely character. I feel like she would be a perfect fit for Eclipse and just Dal Media in general. Her relationship with Hyojin is really lovely and I think she would probably be one of her favourites. I also don't know much about ateez so I am happy you included a lot of information about them, especially Mingi.

All in all, I want to keep this review short and sweet. Minju has been accepted! Thank you so much for creating such a lovely character and I really hope I do get to see your other character (if you are still making him!).
