dad / while he's not the leader of the group (because min had to foil my plans!!) he is still kind of a dad figure, in both meanings...

faceclaim: Oner/idol producer Mu Ziyang 木子洋/ Li Zhenyang/ KWin

Backup: Oner/Idol producer Yue Yue 岳岳/ Yue Minghui/ Pinkray

height: 191 cm

weight: 70 kg

appearance: Before and in between his time with the two groups, Bolin was a well-known model. And people see why. He might look intimidating, but he's also devilishly handsome. One giant lad who is skinny, but just has enough fat and muscle to not be considered underweight. He has extremely sharp features that could make anyone, even gay girls, swoon. Sharp nose, sharp eyes, sharp eyebrows, a jawline so sharp he could cut a , and all of that paired with plump, pink lips and an amazing body. This is your model right here, he's all you could ask for. He needs to wear glasses to see far away, and those glasses make him look even more boujee than he already is.

Let me just tease y'all for a bit with his bod

fashion: As a professional model who has gained way more bank with that than with being an idol, Bolin likes to flaunt it. Not only his wealth, but also the fact that he is a model. He likes to dress in eccentric and classy clothes. He defines it as the term boujee (not bougie like I said before lmao). And yeah he does look boujee. He does have his comfortable hoodies and sweatpants for a lazy day in the dorm, but once he has to go out, he wants to look like he's still on the runway of Milan fashion week. Other members often complain that he dresses up too much, making him take all the limelight and making the rest of the members feel embarassed about it. Also, he likes to sleep . Luckily he puts on underwear when he wakes up and goes to get ready... most of the time. He does have his comfy home-wear, yes, but when he isn't at the dorm for the whole day he'd rather stroll around in his underwear until he has to dress up.

other:

He has two tattoos. One on his arm and one on his thigh.

personality: mbti type: ESFP - Hogwarts house: Slytherpuff

traits:

(+): caring, paternal, humorous, intelligent

(0): competitive, dirty-minded, extremely flirty

(-): possessive, jealous, greedy, cowardly

"He's a daddy in both meanings. No one else can touch his babies, no one can flirt with the babies. If someone dares to do that, he be hissin'."

elaboration: 

Caring & paternal: Definition #1 of daddy. Bolin is very caring towards the other members and while he loves to take care of them and drown them with fatherly love (well, it's not always fatherly heh), he also loves to nag at them and tease them. he sometimes makes real dad jokes. When one of the younger members misbehaves, he usually shows them tough love with gentle hits on the and such (he calls them loving pats) and strangling them with love. He's a real dad in all fields. But he does this more to the members who are minors, and he shows the other daddy version more to the older members. He always makes sure everyone is safe and uses his height and scary looks to his advantage when people are trying to harm his babies.

Humorous: the Zhao brothers both have a great sense for humor, but they excel in other fields. While little Deshi is better at the savage humor and witty disses, Bolin is more of a person who does dad jokes, flirty jokes and especially the ual innuendos that make the older members pissed because he doesn't care if the minors are around.

Intelligent: while many people expect that he's a big dumb who only has looks and no brains, they're wrong. Bolin might not have any college degree, he just didn't have the time to do it all with being idol and model. He is still quite intelligent, and in his free time he sometimes researches things he is interested in, even though he's often too busy to do that.

competitive & jealous: life is a competition, this is a competition, everything is competition. As soon as he got into the model and then idol world, he learned that this is how a celebrity should go by. He now makes a competition out of everything, not only because he enjoys it and does it out of habit, he also tries to prepare the other 5x3 members by this, because he is probably the most experienced out of all. He tries to learn the babies how to survive in this world, but also just enjoys doing it all. When he loses, he'll become jealous. No, even when he doesn't lose. When he's confident about something and someone else turns out to be better at it (like little Deshi being better at English), Bolin will become adorably jealous.

dirty-minded & extremely flirty: if you thought another member was the biggest hoe of 5x3, you were wrong. Bolin outflirts all others. No legal member escapes his flirts, even people from other groups often get attacked. Bolin might be super gay, he sometimes even dares to throw a flirt towards their senior girl group just for s and giggles. He's also very dirty-minded and really loves to make anyone who is legal of age swoon. He loves seeing the red flush on 's cheeks when he flirts with them, and he also just really loves little Deshi's disgust when it happens in front of him. Bolin is a real boy, a huge flirt and a resident hoe, but once he settles down, he'll be loyal as a puppy. Cheating? Disgusting.

Possessive & greedy: just like how he's very competitive, Bolin also really doesn't like sharing. If you share too much in the celebrity world, you can lose everything. After the disaster that happened to his first kpop group, Bolin just wants to keep everything to himself, especially the other members. They are HIS babies and even though he wanted to be the leader, he wasn't allowed to be because he's a foreigner. But still, the kids are HIS and HIS ONLY and no one else can touch them or possibly flirt with them. Especially his little brother. (actually, he could've been the leader but I had two talent twins in mind and if I switched them for the brothers I'd have to make Deshi the leader of 5teen but... that is a really bad idea?? God dammit Min)

Cowardly: this is the one side that makes him less intimidating and perfect than he actually seems. Bolin, who is the tallest kpop idol up to this date, is actually a little scaredy cat. He gets startled very quickly and it is often just so hilarious how he screams in despair and ruins his image when he's scared. His little brother loves to scare him.

background: Bolin was born at the seaside city of Qingdao. He was the oldest son, and while growing up, he would be graced with two adorable little siblings. He was at the average height, and had quite the intimidating face since a young age, so people didn't really have much expectations, while little Bolin always expressed that he wanted to become an idol. He just didn't have the flower boy look, he had nothing special to him. Bolin was determined to do it though, and took vocal classes since a young age.

When Bolin started to get older, he started to grow. And he kept growing. No one knew where it was going to end. At the age of 14, he was already over 180 cm while his same aged friends had just started their puberty. The ugly, angry looking child that no one had expectations for grew into a sharp, intimidating model-like man. Devilishly handsome. His chances turned around quite quickly. When he was 15, Bolin got scouted on the streets, and was offered to run a local fashion show. Bolin agreed to it, thinking that it could help him raise his chances on debuting as idol. From then it all escalated quite quickly. He conquered China as the new model sensation. Huge, amazing proportions, devilish looks, and he had the charms as well. He knew how to move and show off his good sides.

When he started out as model, it was 2011. It was harsh, and Bolin was young, very young, but he fought through it. He did still dream of becoming an idol though, so after 1,5 years of traveling around China to do photoshoots and fashion shows, he decided to take a break from the model world and concentrate on getting accepted as trainee. He went to Korea on his own, and started auditioning. But he didn't have the looks fit for an idol group. Back then there was still this standard of being around an average height and looking like a flower boy baby. Bolin was too tall, too scary-looking, he wouldn't have any fans and he would disrupt the group's image. Until he auditioned for a small company, SS entertainment. When they said he was accepted, Bolin's hope shot up in the skies. He was the youngest of a group of trainees, and they were with 5 in total. it all started out really well, but when they were nearing their debut, masks started to fall, and what started out as 'accidents' became regular. They debuted as The Legend and were put in a really small dorm. They didn't have a kitchen, no beds, not a place to sit, no basic necessities like toothbrushes. They had nothing. Had to live on instant ramen. They didn't get lessons anymore, weren't notified about schedules and had to get there themselves. But the boys were able to realise their dreams, so they kept fighting. Bolin was always a good singer, but his dancing was a bit sloppy mainly because of his height, and because they didn't get proper lessons, he was a bit behind, and he wasn't the only member. They were best at vocals.

They were so happy to be able to promote songs and stand on stage, even though they weren't very known. They worked very hard on their own, but after a year, it got even worse. When they came home one day, the lights didn't work. They contacted the electricity company, but they told them that the electricity bill had not been paid for too long. The boss didn't pay their bills. The boys first had no electricity, then they had no running water. They didn't get paid either, so the older members offered to work part-time jobs. Bolin wanted to help as well, and he resumed his model career while also working as idol. They couldn't do anything, because they had no money or power to get away from the company. They tried to survive but also started to save up money. In 2016, they risked it all and filed a lawsuit against SS entertainment. It was the biggest news they had yet, and everything was revealed about their living conditions, treatment and the fact that the CEO didn't pay only them, but also didn't pay any of the staff. He kept it all to himself.

The five boys tried to look for another company, especially wanting to find a place for their lovely maknae Bolin, but it didn't work. They decided to all go their own ways, but they all try to keep in contact. Bolin wanted to take a break, and he went back to modeling. His popularity grew even more now that he had matured. He conquered Korea, then the rest of Asia and even went worldwide. The peak of his career was when he walked the Milan fashion week for Dior. He did a few more shows for Dior, but not so long after that, he got the news that his little brother Deshi got into a company that had just opened their doors for male trainees, and it started to tingle for Bolin again. He didn't want to lose to his baby brother, so of course, Bolin went to audition at the company as well. And that is the story on how he ended in Shine entertainment as probably the most experienced trainee of them all.

family:

The didi : Zhao Deshi (18) / member of 5x3 / see his app / 9/10
Bolin is still really happy that he is now able to have his brother by his side again. Even though they don't often show it to each other (especially from Deshi's side), they do love each other a lot and feel better when they are together. Deshi always secretly admired his big brother and wanted to be like him, but now that he has gone through puberty, he has grown into a little brat. Bolin loves to baby his little didi, but the kid hates skinship and often refuses his love. Until he's sad, then the little didi will come to big brother Bolin to find shelter in his arms. (fc: lou zibo)

The meimei : Zhao Yingyue (15) / student / sweet, optimistic, naive / 8/10
Yingyue is the ideal meimei any big brother could wish for. Adorable, sweet, cute and someone who needs protection. She really depends on her big brothers and is still really sad that they are now both abroad. She really misses her big brothers and wants to come over to Korea, but she can't because she's still only 15, and has to attend school. They used to be better friends, but it's because Bolin and Yingyue can't see each other often. (fc: busters chaeyeon)

friends:

Old leader : Kwon Jaehwan (33) / sergeant in the military / tough, polite, caring / 9/10
Jaehwan is the ex-leader of Bolin's former group, The Legend. He gave everything to be able to take care of the other members. He had enlisted before debut, and has now returned to be in the military. He's a very good man and still treats Bolin like his little 18 year old baby. It's funny that he's such a dad while he's much smaller than the rest of the group. (fc: N-sonic J.heart)

The mom : Lee Jungshin (30) / elementary school teacher / maternal, sweet, grumpy / 9/10
the momma of The Legend. He was always the naggy mom who made sure everyone was feeling good despite all the troubles. He worked very hard as well to keep the group alive. After the disbandment he went to school again to become an elementary school teacher, the kids absolutely love him, and Bolin does too. (fc: CNblue Jungshin)

The comic relief : Ryu Jaehyuk (30) / currently enlisted / silly, shameless, pessimistic / 8/10
The middle member of The Legend, who was the variety duo together with Bolin. He was often silly and happy but he's actually quite pessimistic, so he was the first one to give up the group. He has been doing his military service, but it's ending in like a month. (fc: The Legend Jaehyuk)

The soft one : Kim Minjun (Lito) (27) / currently enlisted / cheerful, optimistic, stubborn / 10/10
Probably the closest member for Bolin. Lito and Bolin are best friends, but they haven't seen each other in a while. That is because Lito is currently enlisted, and is now around halfway through his service and still has around 10 months to go. They miss each other a lot. They're so ing gay for each other I cannot. (fc: The Legend Lito)

Model partner : Zheng Libao (25) / model / silly, cheerful, childish / 9/10
Another one of Bolin's closest friends. All the way back when Bolin debuted as model, Libao happened to be in the same photoshoot, making his debut as well. In the first few gigs they kept walking into each other, and realised they were bound to model together. They have been great friends ever since and stuck with each other through their model careers. Libao often calls, whining that the model world is stupid without Bolin. He might not look like it, but Libao is just a silly weird child. Kind of like Deshi but wilder. (fc: Bu Fan)

childhood friend : Zhou Lei (26) / engineer / clean, intelligent, savage / 10/10
A friend who has been by Bolin's side ever since they were kids. They are also best friends and have stuck together even though they don't see each other a lot. They just seem to have this supernatural bond.  They literally do so much for each other, it's crazy. Lei would literally fly to Korea at night if Bolin is feeling ill, and would return to China in the morning without any sleep to get back to work. Bolin would do that too if he actually was allowed to do that. (fc: Yue Yue (ft. Ziyang on the gif))

I'm not adding the other charas from the hoesquad cause literally no one has something yet lol y'all are slow

stagename: Bolin 보린

persona: the giant flirt, well I mean. It's literally what he is.

group: Classik, what else 

plotline: CSK-03 (CSK-01)

positions: main vocal, lead dancer (leader, main rapper)

fanclub: Nu Li 努力 누리, chinese word for 'to strive'

fancolor: gold #D1AD54

dance: Block B U-kwon (Mu Ziyang)

training years:

1,5 years under SS entertainment (2012-2014), 2 years active with The Legend (2014-2016), 3 years under Shine entertainment

training background: Bolin's training was way different in the two different companies. In SS entertainment, they were never really treated well, it started out well to keep the trainees there, but once they were stuck, the CEO started mistreating them. It was the worst experience Bolin ever had, and he thought that a lot of the companies would be as corrupt and bad, but Shine entertainment wasn't. it was a big surprise to Bolin to find out that they treated the boys well and gave them their freedom and rest if they needed it. It made Bolin determined and work as hard as he could, even though it's also because he wanted to be better than Deshi.

predebut experiences:

A lot of modeling work, he still keeps on doing it occasionally.

Was active as maknae and lead vocal of group The Legend in 2014 to 2016. They filed a lawsuit against their company and had to separate with broken hearts. They were mainly a vocally strong group. At debut, Bolin was behind on dancing, but he improved a lot during the time as idol and also when training under Shine, so yeah now he's a lead dancer all of a sudden, and he's very proud of that. He might not be that young anymore, he can still improve.

future experiences:

Of course more modeling work
Maybe he could get into acting? I don't really know
He'd probably release a solo, especially in China. His song could be Let it die.

Possible duo project with his brother? Maybe a song could be Feel good.

scandals/news articles:

The Legend files lawsuit against SS entertainment / This was the moment The Legend had the most attention, sadly. Suddenly everyone wanted to support them. The mistreatment by the company was revealed by the older members and it gathered lots of attention, yet nothing changed. They did win the lawsuit, but Bolin is sure that there are corrupt companies like theirs.

NAME: It will be 's soft boi but i'll keep this stuff until he's actually updated. He'll probably flirt with them all before he goes serious with him.

comments: Yo, I know I said I was going to finish them together but I just wanted to be done with at least one tonight so I could submit him. So I decided that from the trivia on I would first do everything of Bolin and then go over to finish Deshi. I really hope you like this handsome motherer ;w; he's really too handsome and his legs are endless what the .

scene requests:

- flirting, lots of flirting
- other members trying to steal his babies and Bolin getting mad
- teambuilding trip and the three groups are put against each other
- Bolin just being the dad he is
- Bolin babying his little brother Deshi
- Yingyue has to visit one time like she's this cute little baby and the other members would absolutely LOVE her

suggestions:

If one of the subgroups ever decides to go to China, I suggest picking an Awaken-F song cause they are actually 5 members and they be lit. I don't want to suggest Oner's song cause Bolin's fc had the ugliest mullet in the video.

password: it's lit
