TALENT TWINS txt's soobin (overall)

OVERVIEW(tw: unhealthy behavior)

— as the son of famous model oh mihyun, hong siha and his older brother hong sihun (fc: btob's minhyuk) were raised with the belief that beauty is everything and that you're essentially nothing if you're not beautiful/physically appealing.

— both siblings grew up with a love of singing as their father, hong sangho, was an arts department director in a local arts high school. and their mother, who had started to fall from grace in early 2000s, thought she could gain her fame back through them, so she encouraged both of her sons' endeavors. sihun auditioned for and got accepted into star empire entertainment and went onto debut in ze:a as the main vocalist and visual (replacing park hyungsik). ze:a has since disbanded and sihun is still in the industry as an actor, having starred in a lot of dramas and movies. and when siha's time came, mihyun allowed him to audition to a company.

— the company had the same toxic ideals as mihyun did, favoring "handsome" trainees over those who were actually talented. siha's lovely voice was overlooked and he was deemed worthless due to his, in the company ceo's words, less than stellar visuals (even though all the trainees at the company would disagree and state that siha is the most handsome trainee in the company).

— in his desperation to debut and with his mother's mindset drilled into him, siha ended up doing what the company wanted him to do: he got plastic surgery and lost weight. not only did it not benefit him in the slightest, it actually became detrimental to him as he ended up losing his only true friend who appreciated him for his talents and not because of his looks.

— shortly after the fallout, siha leaves the company and ends up at mhd entertainment in mid-2018, immediately scoring a place in the company's upcoming boy group, mo/on, as the visual of the onyx unit and a lead vocalist. while his mother is happy that he got a visual position in the group like his brother (whose nickname is "the beautiful oh mihyun's handsome older son") so that he could be known as "the beautiful oh mihyun's handsome younger son," siha isn't happy in the slightest because even though he's a lead-level vocalist, the company is still pushing his visuals to the front, and that brings him back to his days at the old company, all the memories of his vocals being overlooked in favor of his visuals coming back at full speed. and to make matters worse, he meets the same old friend that he fell out with back at the old company. son dabin who joined the group later on as their main vocalist. and dabin doesn't seem like he wants to reconcile any time soon.

— the player rumors are not true in the slightest. he went through a bad relationship at his former company and when he finally broke up with her, she spread rumors so bad, he had to leave to preserve his sanity.

— his sister was the one to decide that he'd be joining mhd entertainment, to provide him protection. of course, rumors know no protection.

TALENT TWINS haseul (speech, vocal), yuju (dance)

OVERVIEW

— song minju, song mingi's smarter and calmer twin. (mingi: hey!) one of the braincells and one of the "adults" of the group that supervises the kids.

— mingi and minju both grew up with a love for performing, thanks to their father who was a backup dancer. they both loved to dance and minju also enjoyed singing. they started taking dance and opera classes at the incheon branch of "joy dance & plug in music academy", so it was no surprise when they both became trainees at maroo entertainment and jyp entertainment respectively.

— in the early months of 2015, the ceo of jyp, park jinyoung, sent minju to the states to further enhance her opera training, which led to speculations that minju got kicked out. she returned to south korea in early 2017, with her technique more developed and able to use her voice better than she could back when she first started out in jyp, was even in the stray kids survival show in the girl group named girls 2 team, alongside current kep1er member mashiro, current itzy members yeji, chaeryeong, ryujin and yuna, and another girl named park yejin. (replacing park sunmin)

— after the girls lost against the boys, minju left jyp, essentially becoming a free agent until she joined mhd in early 2018.

— has background in classical singing and opera, has been training in it since she was young.

— best friends with ateez and is very close to the 99z (yunho, yeosang, san, mingi, wooyoung), especially yunho since she has known him for a long time, since 2nd year of high school to be precise. they're still best friends to this day and he's one of her biggest hypemen.
