personality First things first, Junwoo is intelligent. He wouldn't be in the Lotto plotline if not lmao. Anyways, Junwoo is intelligent, and he knows it. Before, he uses his brains for studies and stuff, and maybe the occassional prank, but now, he realises the work he put in reading military strategy books are paying off and uses them to his advantage. He's also the one who tells the others what to do, and what they shouldn't do, and analyzes every ing thing down to what kind of coffee Areum took this morning and how they should approach her or behave. Junwoo is a born strategist, and he tries to keep the boys out of danger with his advice, but some of them (i.e. the hot-tempered ones) don't listen because they think him arrogant. He isn't though, and only means the best. Except he sometimes gets shut down too much or too harsly, and thus mostly keeps to himself. 

 

Junwoo is, as mentioned above, observant, and there is usually nothing that doesn't escape his eye. Sungwoo has his eyes on their father-figure member? He knows but says nothing. Areum is about to drag another member to her room and does god-knows-what to him? He notices that too and says nothing. Basically, Junwoo keeps a lot of what he sees to himself, and for good reason. He doesn't want others, especially not Areum, to know what he's and they're up to. Sometimes he keeps the information he processes to himself, but when it's helpful to another member or for their own good, he'll tell them, and you can count on him to do it. The only problem being how much he tells you, because Junwoo is very secretive in nature.

 

"There, to your left. No, don't look. Areum's there, and she's staring at you. Be prepared."

 

Junwoo is sort of an advisor to the group. While he's not like Sungwoo or [roar plotline], the parents, he tends to stay in the background and observe and plot stuff. He's like the oldest and caring brother, who helps the parents and protects the siblings. And so he gives advice which reflects his wise nature. Most of the time, s are fine with it, but once tempers start to flare, they tend to get annoyed with him. Junwoo understands, and says nothing about it either. Again, he does his best to keep s out of danger, and warns them as best as he could.

 

Junwoo is patient. He knows when to wait, and when to attack. He doesn't mind waiting for the right moment, and knows that he should in order to strike at the most vulnerable and best point of Areum, which can bring everything down on her. Because of his patience, he also helps calm tempers around the dorm, and dodges any slippers that Sungwoo may throw (because he's the mom get it - now I'm being racist to my own race lmao) instead of lobing them straight back.

 

"Wait, no - don't do that. You'll get yourself killed. Really." 

 

Because Junwoo lost his father from a young age - not in the physical sense, more to be elaborated in relations section - he learnt to take care of himself and his mother from a young age. His other siblings were taken away, so it was just him and his mom. He became very independent, as well as loves his mom fiercely. He's usually patient and rarely gets into a temper, but if anyone says a harmful word to or about his mother, speak ill of her or even mention her in a less-than-friendly way, Junwoo will and is going to kick your . No questions and no exceptions. Not even Areum herself.

 

Before you give me about his contrasting traits of being 'open' and 'distant' and 'secretive', let me explain. Junwoo is open. No, really. He gives information about himself, useless bits of trivia such as his favourite colour or what kind of toast he had for breakfast, but nothing beyond that. He doesn't form friendships easily, and doesn't trust anyone much either. He gives so much information about himself because he likes to distract people from the fact that they know nothing about him. He tells people about the facts he wants people to only know about and what they should and need to know, and that's it. He keeps everything else to himself, maybe an occassional slip of a word or two to those he trusts absolutely, but that's it.

 

"Hello I'm Mikhail and I love blue. My birthday is on the 11th November and I'm twenty-one."

 

Despite the fact that he's distrustful and hardly forms friendships or bonds, Junwoo is fiercely loyal to those he manages to do so with. He will protect them till the end of time and is even willing to die for them. Because Junwoo treasures friendship so much, he rarely is the one who breaks off friendships first, and when it is done to him, shuts himself up and tries not to let people notice his breaking heart. He is sensitive to friendships, and usually takes care to not name anyone his friend until they prove themselves worthy of doing so.

 

Junwoo is charming and the worst (or best, depends on how you see it) part is he doesn't even need to try. Somehow, he knows the best ways to say words or phrases that will send the fangirls' hearts into overdrive and them to swoon. People joke that he's like Prince Charming because of this, but he secretly hates the nickname. It also didn't help that he actually did the role of Prince Charming in a ballet before, so yes, he despises the nickname and is not afraid to call someone out for using it unless it's by fans. 

 

"I'll die for you. If I can't or you don't allow it, I'll live for you." 

 

Junwoo is also a persuasive er. Again, like his charm, he doesn't need to learn the trade or practise it. He is a natural in his persuading skills, and because people usually (or sometimes, depending on the person) listen to his advice, Junwoo is able to persuade s to either not do something, or do something, like practising their dance when they don't really want to. He doesn't shout or sass or do it in a round-about way like Sungwon (I nearly misspelt it as Sungwoo and probably did it before, just call me out on it and I'll fix it) maybe does, he simply asks in his soft-spoken and gentle manner and somehow, they will do it. (it's only his positive traits and I've literally written 1100 words lmao - I'm pulling a Jineul) 

 

"It'll just be for another five minutes. Then it'll finish, I promise." 

 

I've mentioned before that Junwoo is distrustful, and boy, is he distrusful. He rarely and barely form friendships and relationships with people, and only does it when he's confident he could trust them fully. It isn't about them, it's him; he's insecure about his secrets, and an incident about someone telling something to another person that he had trusted them to keep secret caused him to shut himself up and not place faith or trust on another person only when they've proven that they're worthy of it. It all depends on his opinion, and his alone, whether that person is trustworthy or not, and nothing can change his mind.

 

Junwoo also has a lot of secrets. He doesn't tell anyone everything, except maybe for his mother, and doesn't see the need to. He keeps his secrets to himself, and maybe distribute a few here or there to a trustworthy person, or scatters one or two to people just so they think they know him, when they really don't. He also keeps secrets that others tell him, and guard them fiercely.

 

"I have a lot of secrets. And I'll tell you one since you seem so desperate to know them. The secret is that I have a lot of secrets." 

 

Junwoo nitpicks. A lot. He's fussy about anything he puts his heart to, and demands utmost attention to detail. The reason he does this is because he puts in a lot of effort to anything he does seriously, and expects anyone who does it to have his own passion for it as well. And so he's extremely strict on the others, especially himself, on dancing, if he could be. He's also very nitpicky about the dorm's cleaniness, because he's used to cleaning his house for his mother, and he nags. When he nags, everyone either listens to him or just leaves the room.

 

Despite his abundance of advice and wisdom, Junwoo is really a person devoid of empathy. It's not that he doesn't care, it's that he couldn't. And not because he's cold-hearted either, he's born with it and he feels really sorry about it, but what could he do? When tears or fustration appears, Junwoo retreats and hides himself until it's all over before emerging.

 

While he's not empathatic, somehow he's very sensitive. He's very conscious of his own emotions, and hides them as best as he could. He's sensitive to change, to what others say to him, and what others say about him. Junwoo doesn't give signs that he notices or knows though, and keeps his face as blank as possible. However, he does hide and lets the tears out when he knows, or at least thinks no one is looking, but he doesn't need empathy or sympathy from the others. He'll deal with his emotions by his own, and has done it for so many times he's accustomed to it anyways.

 

"What are you talking about? I'm not upset. Now go and clean up the mess you just left lying on the sofa, it's an eyesore." 

 

Junwoo is stubborn. While he may not look like it, he's as stubborn as a mule, and will stare you down like one as well. He usually doesn't show his stubborn side, but when he is serious about something, he could not and would not and never would budge. He won't argue with you; he'll just intimidate you with his stare until you budge or something. The only person he couldn't do this with is Sungwon, somehow. And when they fight, it's extremely unpleasant, but luckily they never really do it, so it's fine. Most of the time.

 

Because of his stubbornness, Junwoo is ruthless as well. Well, ruthless in the sense that he would do anything and everything to acheive his goals when needed. When he sets his mind on something, and places his sights on it, he will obtain it against all odds and will be extremely stubborn on it. Unless of course, his mother disagrees, or other things happen involving his loyalty, beliefs or the rare things that's important to him. 

 

"I'll topple her throne, I swear it. And the day I do it will be the day of victory for all of us." 

 

Junwoo is manipulative. Well, not in the way you thought he would be, but there's no way to put it in a nicer way (at least, not any I can think of now), so there you go. He controls the thoughts of others, or at least attempts to, by feeding information that he allows or needs them to know. It's like him being secretive, he manipulates others into believing they know him by telling them what he allows or wants them to know. By withholding or giving information, Junwoo is able to control others' thoughts and feelings. ...I guess? Like a lot of things, this process is also unconscious to him.

 

Finally, Junwoo is possessive. He's possessive of people he like and love, and once he makes you his friend, he will never let you go. While he doesn't say anything, you could feel him staring daggers when that friend starts to pay attention to something else while he's talking to them. 'You're talking to me, I'll give you all of my attention, and I expect you to do the same otherwise you' sort of attitude. And he's even more possessive when it comes to his boyfriend. He will allow no one to touch him, not even his teammates. Unless, of course, the boyfriend asks or allows it. Then he grudgingly lets him.

 

"You're mine. You're mine and no one else's. I will follow you to the depths of hell, to the highest point of heaven. To the end of time, to the beginning of everything."

[word count: 2114 ooof - ]

 

background Junwoo was born to a Russian woman and a Korean man in the freezing winter of Saint-Petersburg, on a cold moonlit night. His Korean name didn't get decided until the next day, when it was raining, but his mother had already decided his Russian/English name, and when it was revealed it was a boy (she deicded to have the gender of the child kept a secret) she just used the male form of the name. And so Mikhail came into existence.

 

Junwoo spent most of his childhood in Russia, up until the age of eight. In Russia, he got a lot of scathing words and even more strange looks because of his Southeast Asian looks. As a result, he got bullied at school, and the worst part is, the teachers didn't stop it. Thus, Junwoo began to develop his quiet and secretive nature, as well as his dependence on his mother. 

 

It was also during this time that he started ballet. His mother, being a retired principal dancer, prima ballerina of the world-known Bolshoi Theatre, had encouraged him on this path, and he had enthusiastically agreed as well. While he didn't attend classes at the academy attached to the Bolshoi Theatre, Junwoo took classes at the Vaganova Academy, where his mother had connections to.

 

He loved the Academy and all that it has to offer, he loved the dance, he loved everything. Ballet was a solution for everything; whenever he felt upset or down, or insecure, he practises. And practises. And practises. And so it happened that he progressed further than anyone else in his age group, and started training with the older students, who loved to look after this little boy prancing around seriously with a deep passion.

 

Unfortunately, the winter he turned eight, a tragedy happened. Anastasia, his mother, found out that her husband had an affair. It also didn't help that his father had a drinking problem, and takes it out on both him and his mother. Anastasia, being a woman of strong will, had endured it. However, the affair was the last straw, and she made it well-known by throwing a fit and packing her bags, taking Junwoo, and sailing out of the house before heading straight to the Bolshoi Theatre, which is near her mother's house as well. Yes, she took her child and her belongings on a four-hour train ride back home. If it's not strong will, I don't know what it is. 

 

Back home, Anastasia allows her son to go to ballet class as normal, and at the Bolshoi Academy as well, her alma mater. She consulted with her own mother, and agreed that Russia was not a place for her son to live in, not with the chaos at the theatres and rising political tension. She didn't want to go to the United States, not with what she had been through and heard about the Cold War, but she didn't had a choice. Besides, the Helvenskya had family there, so Anastasia was reassured, but only somewhat.

 

It was finally at the age of nine of her son that Anastasia made the firm choice to move to Canada. (She hated the idea of going to the US) It was rather difficult for Anastasia, even with family, especially when she doesn't speak English. Junwoo was fine however, he was young and he adapts to his surroundings extremely easily.

 

Junwoo started going to school in Canada. At first, it was very difficult, since the languages he knows are Russian and Korean, but slowly, with kindness from his Canadian classmates surrounding him, he became happy, more happy than he could ever be in Russia, despite the lack of ballet. Anastasia, seeing her son lacking a little something in his life, enrolled him into children classes at the Canada's National Ballet School. She also became a teacher there, with the teachers and professors excited and enthusiastic to have a ballerina of her caliber at their school as advisor and teacher.

 

At the age of twelve, Junwoo also began to pick up modern dance. With this addition, he also tried out theatre classes at school, and proved to be an extremely talented student. He won many competitions, and became the pride of both his school and the Ballet School. And of course, of his mother as well. Everyone expected him to take the stage after his mother once he's a teen and his feet properly grown and developed. Heck, even he did.

 

Timeskip to the age of sixteen. Junwoo was making even greater progress into his ballet career, and had performed various pieces and on fast-track to a scholarship to the Canada's National Ballet School. It was around this time that he discovers his uality, and also had his first relationship. It didn't work out well, but then again he hadn't really expected anything since it was a first time anyways.

 

Unfortunately, Junwoo didn't expect the heartbreak that was about to come. Consumed with feelings for his lost love, Junwoo experienced violent mood swings and confused heartsickness that eventually went on to make his grades and ballet spiral downhill. He couldn't study, he couldn't dance, and not even ballet could lift his spirits. His mother tried comforting him, but instead, it only made him feel shame, and he hid himself away.

 

Which was what he would have loved to do, but could not. There was a series of shows coming up, which was his biggest so far and Junwoo was dancing the roles of the male lead in a few pieces; 'Don Quixote' and "Swan Lake'. The promise of a scholarship was also on line; Canada's National Ballet School promised him an unconditional one after the show and if it recieves success. Thus he threw himself into a frenzy practising for them, and thought himself to be fine. Don Quixote proved to be an enormous success, with the newspapers about the 'young ballet prodigy following his mother's footsteps'. The School gave him his scholarship as well, with the headmaster himself giving the phone call.

 

Then the catastrophe happened. Perhaps it was because he didn't warm up properly, perhaps it was because of the mixed excitement and sadness he was experiencing. Junwoo, while dancing 'Swan Lake', made a bad landing and broke his ankle. On stage. He could feel the pain surging up his leg, but luckily it was the last scene and he could finish it.

 

He was immediately rushed to the hospital, not even bothering to make an appearance at the aftermath party, where he was the star. The doctor told him to rest the ankle, and if he doesn't, his dancing career may be ended forever. Junwoo was shocked into silence, Anastasia demanded a scan and recieved news even more terrible; the injury extended to his knee, and a ligament was nearly torn. Junwoo would have to recieve surgery for it which would either render his leg completely useless or save it, or wait it out and recieve treatment for eight months.

 

Anastasia insisted on treatment and therapy for eight months. It's an injury and not life-threatening, she argued, and her son shouldn't have to risk his entire leg, his career, in it. Junwoo agreed, but the thought of not being able to stand on stage for eight months, a place practically his second home, was so devastating to him he wept for an entire day and shut himself in his room. Not even his mother could comfort or lift his sorrows. 

 

Junwoo, having his heart entirely broken in Canada, resolved to leave the place as quick as possible, and his mind is set on it. The Canada's National Ballet School had an exchanging program to Korea, and the headmaster, knowing his grief, offered to send him there so he could have a change of mind. Anastasia went along as well, but ultimately as a mentor and teacher.

 

Junwoo knew that his mother put on a brave face, but she was secretly terrified because her former husband was living in Korea. She wanted no more contact with him, and even had to restrain her son from seeking out his father and giving him a piece of his mind for leaving his mother. Ultimately, Junwoo had inherited his mother's iron will, and did what he went to do.

 

Junwoo ended up staying in Korea. He reconciled with his grandmother, another fierce woman who had kicked her son out when she heard of the affair, and personally flew to Russia to apologize and comfort the young woman. He also ended up meeting his half-sister, who didn't knew of him and the affair until his arrival. They immediately developed a sister-brother relationship, and she brought him out to all sorts of things, and basically introduced him to Korean culture

 

At the age of seventeen, Junwoo had to decide on college, and he enrolled at the language arts department in the Seoul National College, but later changed to a literature major. He also started taking dance classes again seven months after his ankle had healed, after his grandmother's family doctor declared him fit for such activity. Junwoo had planned on finishing college, balancing modern dance and maybe ballet, before heading back to Canada, taking his mother and bringing them to either London or back to Russia, the ballet centres of the world.

 

During a performance at his university, Junwoo had caught the eye of a scout from JYP, who offered to sign him to the agency. He hesitated for a long time before agreeing, but eventually did so because why not try new things? It could be another step towards a dancing career, and he's all down for that. He had also taken theatre classes before, where he did musicals stuff. So yes, he's all down for that. 

 

Somehow, his training period extended to a year, then two, and eventually three. He was a rising rookie in the industry; everyone loved his dancing skills. He also started posting covers, after realising he had a knack for both singing and rapping. Junwoo's aspirations still floated towards a dancing career, but since an idol's career is even short-lived than a dancer's, he'll do both and maybe acting afterwards - yes, this boy is very ambitious.

 

And that was when Lee Areum appeared and disrupted all of his plans. 

 

[I was so engrossed that I ended up spending an hour on his background oops - ]

 

likes

☪ Ballet. It is literally his lifeline and all he lives for. Without ballet, he will die, and he makes it clear. Ballet saved him from the darkest points of his life, and allowed him to shine his brightest. Unfortunately, it also caused him trauma, and he's still recovering from it. Someday, however, he will stand on that stage again, and make his mother and himself, and the whole word proud.

 

☪ Beef stroganoff; his mother loves making the dish and Junwoo grew up eating it. It represents his childhood, and better times. Most of all, it reminds him of his mother.

 

☪ Books. He decided to switch to being a literature major, what else would he love? When he was on hiatus from the stage, he turned to reading. Here's a list of his favourite books:

    ☪ Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
    ☪ The Man in the Iron Mask by Alexandre Dumas
    ☪ Norweigian Wood by Murakami Haruki
    ☪ Art of War by Sun Tzu
    ☪ On War by Carl von Clausewitz 
    ☪ The Odyssey by Homer
    ☪ The Iliad by Homer

    ☪ tbc

 

☪ Winter; it's the season of his birth but he also loves it because it's so bitter yet welcoming to him. Lord knows why

 

☪ The Moon; tied to his name and his birth. So yes.

 

☪ Rain; again, linked to his name. It's also very calming to watch rain fall.

 

☪ Classical music. He knows a lot because of his ballet education, and especially admires Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky's works. 'Swan Lake' was written by Tchaikovsky, and 'Cinderella', which he performed, was written by Prokofiev. What a conicdence.

 

☪ VIXX; literally one of the few groups he had listened to. Junwoo admires them, mostly because of their variety of concepts tackled. He especially wants to stand on the same stage with either Jaehwan (Ken) or Hakyeon (N) and collab with them or something. 

 

☪ His favourite colour is varying shades of blue. As you can see from the app which reflects his taste in colour. 

 

☪ Cats; he has a thing for Russian or Persian cats and has a pet at home which would eventually be brought to the MIDN9TE dorm and unleash chaos everywhere. 

 

☪ tbc

 

 

dislikes

☪ Coffee; it gives him the jitters and he hates starting the day with caffeine. He doesn't drink coffee, not even if it's brewed by his mother. Yeap.

 

☪ Anyone talking ill of his mother; Junwoo is protective as about his mom, and anyone even saying a bad word would be shut down immediately. No excuses.

 

☪ Liars. Lie once, and break his trust in you forever.

 

☪ Maple syrup; he just hates how sweet it tastes like. Goodness knows why

 

☪ Uncleanliness; he shares this with Sungwon which is terrifying to have two clean-freaks in the same dorm with literally seven other boys.

 

☪ He detests it when people interrupt him. No, really. When he's talking to someone (one-on-one), he expects that person's attention on him, and on him only. It's only fair when you do the same, right? So when the other person responds to another person when they suddenly into the conversation and literally just starts chatting away, Junwoo sits there fuming and glares and fums until the person he was having a conversation with turns it back to him - or just walks away. 

 

habits

☪ Narrowing his eyes and pursing his lips at the sight of Areum. Observing mode and scrutinizing mode on. 

 

☪ He speaks Korean normally (or as normal as a person could) but then the tone sometimes translates to his other languages and he would be speaking English in a very animated tone with a deadpan face
 

☪ He deadpans. A lot. Otherwise his face just remains blank

 

☪ Switching to languages, especially when he swears. The look of confusion on his teammates' looks would alert him to this fact, though.

 

☪ Putting on his headphones to avoid conversation in the car. He's tired, and boy needs his rest.

 

☪ Whenever the boys are in a session with Yeonjin, he tries to pick pieces of either his modern dance or ballet back. He and Yeonjin sort of understands each other without actually communicating, so it's fine.

 

☪ Just casually standing next to Sungwon to piss him off because of the height difference. 

 

☪ Praying before sleep every night. Junwoo is a devout Christian; he also has a lot of things in his mind that he couldn't confine to anyone except God

 

☪ Changing or applying the bandages to his feet/legs. Junwoo's ankle might have healed for good, but he doesn't want to risk anything, and sometimes still apply the medicine prescribed to him for his injuries, before wrapping it with his bandages to make sure he stays on his feet the whole time. It hurts, but thus is the life of a dancer. He normally tries not to use them though, because they're very harmful and doesn't really do him that much good. (idk if this is accurate? I'm not a dancer so yeap)

 

☪ Taking care of his or s' wounds inflicted by either Sangho or Saehwa just before bed

 

hobbies

☪ Ballet, of course.

 

☪ Reading, self-explanatory

 

☪ Plotting either world-domination or revenge against Areum. Jk about the first one, but the second is actually what he does most of his free time

 

☪ Listening to music; nothing is better than plugging his earphones in and blasting Tchaikovsky after a long day 

 

☪ Modern dance, maybe

 

☪ tbc

 

fears

☪ One of his greatest fears had already came into existence, so Junwoo regards himself as somewhat of a fearless man. That being said, he is still afraid of injuring a body part that would render him completely unable to contniue the dance career he still has in mind. Luck had saved him once, it wouldn't again.

 

☪ Betrayal. While he puts up a brave face, Junwoo is constantly afraid of being betrayed and hence his distrust to everyone around him

 

☪ Exposure. Being exposed isn't something he's fond of either. Junwoo chooses his friends for a reason, and that's not for them to expose his secrets and personality to the world. He'll do that himself, thank you very much. Being such a secretive person, he panicks every time one of his secrets are let loose in the world

 

☪ Losing his loved ones, especially his mother. His family had helped him grow so much that losing even one of them would drive him crazy with grief 

 

☪ The water. He nearly drowned when he was seven, in Russia, while skating. He never does it again.

 

☪ Ballet. Currently, he is much much better than he originally was, and is potentially cured by his own will. However, Junwoo went through a period where he had locked up his ballet shoes and broke into cold sweat when he even sees them, because of his trauma onstage. Now, he is easing himself back by practicing steps in front of Yeonjin, who may or may not be plotting ballet steps into MIDN9TE's next choreo. 

 

special talents

☪ Ballet, ballet, ballet. What more can be said?

 

☪ Acting. He had taken up training in stage plays as well as musicals when he was little

 

☪ Languages; it's his strong forte

 

☪ He can recite The Iliad, from back to front. Believe me, it's very impressive but somewhat completely useless. Unless you're a literature student/classics major

 

☪ Flexibility. He warms up by putting his foot against the wall and just stands there while running the steps over in his head

 

☪ He once made someone cry with his dancing. Yes, I'm not even joking, he gets extremely in-character and emotional when he's onstage.

 

trivia

☪ One of his role models is D'Artagnan from The Three Musketeers (I'm sorry I'm drowning in the series right now), and he aspires to be a man like him.

 

☪ Went through a phase where 'All for one, one for all' is his motto. He stopped that now

 

☪ He's a Christian; he was baptised from birth. His Christian name is Zechariah, or Zhakariya, as it's pronounced in Russian. His mother practises Christianity as well. 

 

☪ He wants to visit Italy or France someday

 

☪ Aspires to have an acting career 

 

☪ He's biual, but leaning towards men. Junwoo hides this from his mother though, who is very conservative and a traditional woman who wants her son to settle down and have a family of his own (with a woman). 

 

☪ Allergic to dust and pollen. Poor boy has hay fever and takes medications for it. 

 

☪ Has high alcohol tolerance, especially towards vodka. Maybe it's because of his Russian lineage, who knows. 

 

☪ When he gets agitated/on rare occasions, drunk, his Korean becomes Russian-accented 

 

Junwoo says / does

☪ *Stares at someone silently to judge/observe them*
☪ "Let me give you some advice. Don't."

☪ "If you're going to start something, do it and half- it at the end, don't even bother starting to do it. You'll save some respect for both yourself and whoever had been along with you."
