nicknames 

►  The dimple | people often get nicknames because of their appearance and Chiwoong is no exception. The boy has one nice looking dimple, so why not calling him like that?
► Blueberry | another nickname based on his appearance. After Chiwoong dyed his hair bright blue people started to call him blueberry, even though the color wasn't anything close to that of a blueberry but you get the point.
► Woong(ie) | Woong(ie) is just your stereotypical abbreviation of Chiwoong, he doesn't really care for is and is actually more likely to react to his other nicknames. 
► Misfortune | things are never going as planned with Chiwoong, it's like a black cat and friday the 13th with a sprinkle of spilled salt and a broken mirror merged together and created a devilishly good looking misfortune. Chiwoong has his fair share of bad luck and the members know that well enough, therefore his nickname. 
► Mr. English | Chiwoong thinks he's okay at English... he's not. That's it, that's the tweet. Okay no. He really isn't good at English and that's okay, but because Paradox is Paradox, they like to with it. 
► The great YG escaper |  one of his not so proud achievements was when Chiwoong's trainee contract with YG got cancelled because of his mistake (read as misfortune) on Show Me The Money 6. Though to cheer him up about it, Paradox jokingly calls him the YG escaper and assures him, he's better of with them. 
► Producing genius | speaking very frankly, Chiwoong is a way better producer than a rapper, even though he would definitely be ranked one of the better SM rappers without a doubt. He could easily make money with the songs he produced in the past if he wasn't so focussed on becoming an idol. 
► Burglar | another not so proud moment of Chiwoong. Because Chiwoong's family doesn't really have the resources to buy musical instruments, he had no choice but to use those of his school and local music academies... He might een have sneaked into some at night, just to play. Yes he got caught by the police, so he kind of has a criminal record. He got away with several hours of community service, he was just a kid anyway. 
► Smooth Criminal | Annie are you okay? Building further on the last nickname, Chiwoong got the nickname Smooth Criminal. Is he a Michael Jackson fan? Not that much. It's mainly just because it's funny.

languages

► Korean | native | Chiwoong is just your average Seoul habitant, aka he speaks Korean like no other. There is not a lot to say about it.
► English |  very basic  | English is not really a good combination with Chiwoong, he is definitely not the best English speaker and the little English he speaks is definitely not without the strong Korean accent. He 
► Japanese & Chinese | basic | Chiwoong can some basic Japanese and Chinese, enough to make himself understandable and sing songs in these languages. Is he able to write songs in Japanese or Chinese? Not at all.

appearancE Chiwoong has a modellike build and a beautiful face. Though you can't say it's all natural. Chiwoong used to have a bit of a crooked nose in the past but was quite goodlooking nonetheless. Unlike his altered nose, his double eyelids are all natural, and he's frankly quite proud of them. His irises are dark brown, leaning towards the black. He has a bit of a resting face when he's not smiling which might make him look pretty cold and distant, aka the one thing he really isn't. He has a pair of naturally bright pink lips and when he smiles he has a a rather deep dimple on his left cheek. Chiwoong also has a mole on the right side of his chin but it's often covered up with make up. As for body modifications, Chiwoong has several pierings in both ears and a tattoo on his left arm and one on his back 

 

FAshion style Other than the stuff his company dresses him in, his fashion style can be described as cheap. Not that it looks all that cheap, it's just cheap. Whatever doesn't look too tacky and doesn't cost him too much money, he will buy and wear. Needless to say his closet consists of quite a lot non brand basics, which probably still look great on him because he just is a very handsome man in general. Other than his piercings, other jewelry isn't really his thing.

elaboration 
perfectionist & insecure
Chiwoong is quite a perfectionist, if he does something he cares a lot about the details and doesn't like to deliver half work. For real he rather drop the whole project than delivering something he isn't satisfied with. His very perfectionistic behaviour comes from a certain sense of insecurity. Chiwoong has the constant feeling he has to prove himself and that he never is enough. His background definitely didn't help the kid to develop some kind of confidence, though he usually acts like it's no big deal and it doesn't affect him that much. He knows how to hide all the emotional pain caused by the hurtful thoughts but might break down one day.
 

social & openminded
Even though Chiwoong has a more introverted personality type, that doesn't mean that he isn't a people person. He is a very open and social person. He is quite emotionally intelligent and can read people pretty well or sense if there is something bothering the others. He is always up for some deep conversations but knows to have some random small talk as well to make people easily comfortable around him. Not only is he sociable, he is also really openminded. He doesn't judge people easily and tries to understand them. If he has questions about certain things he will ask people, but makes sure it doesn't come over as if he doesn't agree with them and their believes and motifs, even if he doesn't. He just wants to understand the others.The thing is just, sometimes he needs some time for himself to recharge. 

hardworking & energetic
Once Chiwoong has a goal he will do anything he can to reach it. He has no problems pulling allnighters during practice or while producing songs. He used to work and train till he couldn't stand on his feet anymore. Though it's not because he works hard for his goals that he doesn't know when to give up. He stays realistic no matter what. He knows damn well he's getting older and if it doesn't work out at SM he might as well give up to be an idol. The thing that definitely helps to keep him going is his unstoppable energy. No one knows where he keeps it. Even when pushed to the limits there is always that little spark inside him that keeps him going on. He will be the first one to jump up again after the five minute break at a tough practice and motivates the others to do the same, always

forgetful & naive
Chiwoong's memory needs some training, perhaps that's why he wasn't really good at school. Especially his short term memory is a mess, he will definitely not know what he ate in the morning a few hours later (if he even ate). He is very likely to forget where he put his stuff if he didn't put it in it's usual spot. Not only is he forgetful, he believes almost everthing you tell him. This is the perfect combo to get pranked (Sol would love to victimize him). 

patient & punctual
When it comes to patience, Chiwoong is definitely one of the more patient members. He has nerves of steel and it's extremely hard to get him angry. When the unimaginable happens and you happen to annoy the kid a bit you will get warned by an eyeroll or even a glare. Even when you recieved the warning, it still takes a while for the volcano to errupt. That doesn't mean that he will allow people to fool around at crucial moments. He cares a lot about being puctual and meeting deadlines and expectations, probably because of his jobs, employers usually don't like it when their employees are late and won't hesitate to fire them if it keeps happening, especially  when it are part timers. Chiwoong has a quite mature way of dealing with things and it's definitely one of his more leaderlike traits.

caring & gentle
Chiwoong has a lot of love to give and will do it in such a sweet and gentle way, it will make your heart melt. He will treat everyone with respect and is a true gentleman. He really is that guy that holds the door for you. He will treat the youngsters and the girls of the company, like princesses and the others like the bros they are. He will show small acts of kindness a lot (he might buy cookies for the members and write kind post its for them, he might do the dishes while it's not his turn to do so when the others are sleeping on a sleepless night, etc.). Chiwoong is the hero we all need but don't deserve.

emotional 
Bring this man some tissues because he might need them. Chiwoong is a person that's easily moved and has his emotions control him more than that he is in control of his emotions. He feels a lot of emotions very strongly and being the real man he is, he isn't afraid to show it (except for anger and insecurity). You'll always know how Chiwoong is feeling as he is rather expressive. 

takes things personally
Chiwoong is a person that easily blames himself when things go wrong. He is the one that didn't perform well, he is the one that couldn't lead the others better, he is the one to blame if their songs don't do well. Though it doesn't work like this when something succeeds. Then it's "our" win, or "because of the fans". Every bad remark feels like a personal attack to Chiwoong and he will definitely beat himself up for it. 

clumsy
this might be Chiwoong's main personality trait. Chiwoong has the magic power to break almost everything he touches, going from pens to lamps to even electronics. Chiwoong is only given the group ipad in supervision of the other members so they can step in when things go wrong. (probably chiwoong: "this add says to click it if we want to know how to become millionairs, should I?"). He isn't mr handy man and should not be trusted to fix physical things, it will only become worse. 

.

background
Chiwoong's life started of petty normal. He was the only son of a middle class family. Chiwoong and his parents weren't extremely wealthy but could give their son everything he wanted and needed. Wich made the first years of his life pretty good, but what was going on behind the back of Chiwoong and his mother, Park Juyeon, was everything but pleasant. The reason his father could afford nice things for Chiwoong was because of a loan he got from not not so kosher men. And when the man lost his job when his son was about 3 years old, he wasn't able to pay the men back. 

The living situation for the Ryu family got only worse and when things slowly got unbearable for Chiwoong's dad, he left a note and disappeared completely. Chiwoong had no idea where his father went and asked repeatedly for him. Everytime his mom would say that his dad was busy at work and would come soon. But he never did, at some point Chiwoong just stopped asking. It didn't matter what happened to him as long as he wouldn't come home, it didn't matter where he would be.

With the main source of income gone, Chiwoong's mother had no choice to return to her own parents to beg for forgiveness and money. They were everything but happy with their daughter marrying Chiwoong's father and them getting a kid together. They barely even visited to see their grandson after he got born. The elderly weren't exactly happy with the return of their daughter but they finally got their "told you so" moment and accepted her and her son back into the family. Juyeon could work in the foodstall of her parents while Chiwoong went to school.

School was rather hard. Chiwoong was not the smartest kid but he was social and got quite some friends. Though after visiting his friends their places several time, it was clear that he wasn't on the same step in the social ladder as them, which caused him to never really invite people over. He was quite embarrassed to tell them he lived with his grandparents and that his father just disappeared one day. 

As said before, Chiwoong might not be the best student in class, he tried his best, but studying just wasn't for him. He might even get called dumb unironically sometimes, which of course hurt him but the kid knows an academic life wouldn't be for him. From a young age he knew he wanted to become an idol. Though because of money issues after school activities like vocal or dance classes were an issue, he would sneak into vacant classrooms of music academies or dance studios to teach himself how to play piano, guitar and drum, without sheet music, he just played random tunes and created some songs like that. 

When the kid turned 16, he had finally enough of school and dropped out. It was clear that he would never get into university and what would be the point of studying in high school if you can't make it to uni? The kid got several part time jobs, going from waiting tables to being in those mascot suits for companies to being cashier at the local supermarket. Name it and he did it. Because not only did he have to get money for his mother and grandparents now, there had been another addition for the family, a little half-sister, Park Youngji. His mother got in a relationship with a married man and thought that getting a baby together would keep her and the man she now loved together... that was not the case. And while they get monthly money to take care of Youngji, it was barely enough to support the family. 

While Chiwoong worked almost every waking hour, he still felt the need to pursue his carreer in music. He auditioned for several companies, including SM and YG, yet it was YG that accepted the kid in their company and the rest... is history. (and will be in the training section~)

relationships 

 


► half - sister • Park Youngji / 13 (2007) / middle schooler / optimistic, naive, kind, childish, artistic / 99.99% [fc: Busters Yeseo]
Even though Youngji is the daughter of his mom and a man Chiwoong absolutely hated, Youngji is everything for Chiwoong. He will do everything for his little princess and won't even allow s to see pictures of her. He will keep her away from fansigns as much as possible and would rather die than to answer the question "who in your group would you introduce to your sister." half of them are too old for her and even the youngest members, how much Chiwoong loves them, will never be able to come close to his everything.


"I don't even want to tell you all her name, you might look her up on facebook and start annoying her and before you know it you're my brother in law and that's something I would like to avoid." - Chiwoong, starting to overexplain when asked who of s he would allow his sister to date. 

 

 

► mentor  • Kwon Hyuk aka Dean / 27 (1992) / soloist / artistic, competitive, shy, curious / 95%
Chiwoong and Dean met eachother at SMTM thanks to the coffee incident. Their whole first meeting was a mess but then there was their second meeting, which was... awkward. Let's be honest, nothing about this meeting could not be awkward. Not only did the older male spill his drink on him, he also sent him into the firepit aka one of the biggest embarrassements of a SMTM contestant. Not that Chiwoong was mad or so, it was sort of his own fault. Though after quite an awkward conversation they exchanged numbers. Chiwoong just really wanted to pay the coffee back and Dean, Dean just felt bad for the kid. What made the older feel even worse was the fact that YG sort of kept his promise, throwing Chiwoong out when he didn't meet the requirements. Dean was the one that kept on supporting Chiwoong and convinced him to accept SM's offer. Even though because of the thight practice schedule, the two weren't able to meet up or talk a lot, their friendship only grew more and more over time.

 

stagename ► DYCE 다이스 | Stagename | DYCE comes from roll of the dice, which means a risky attempt. Becoming a trainee with a background like him was quite a risk. Instead of studying or working full time, Chiwoong became a trainee. he also decided to style it differently so it looks cooler.
