AEON
⤫ AEON : END OF AN ERA
may 16, 1988
youngbae is the oldest in the group and to his horror that was an instant nomination for group leader! that's seniority for you! But youngbae wished for anything but, honestly, and so did the members.
the oldest but also the most immature, youngbae doesn't even know how to take responsibility of himself, and now he has to be responsible for 6 others? thankfully there's joowon to fall back on, but what if his crutch falls away? and what if one bad decision after another saddles him with more to be responsible for than just aeon?

Let's be real, chanhee isn't here for the music, he can hardly carry a tune. he never wanted to be an idol to begin with, he was an acting trainee, but before he knew it he was debuting in some boy group he didn't care about, and to top that off it turned out to be a flop of a boy group too.
what chanhee hadn't counted on was that said boy group turned out to be the family he never felt he had, and he'd find fame and wrestle it into submission if he had to! but how long can he keep playing the content idol when his heart lies with acting?

the little country boy who found his way to the big city with big dreams, seunghoon quickly finds that he's not in kansas anymore. bit by bit the city and the industry chip at him. he's not pretty enough, not charismatic enough, and to top it off it lays bare a dangerous secret he never even knew he had.
in the end the hiatus was a blessing for hoon, but a blessing he wasn't allowed to keep. now he clings to music, with music he can say the things he can't voice himself. just keep singing, don't let anyone close, and maybe, just maybe, he might stay sane.

wonwoo is good at being helpful, at doing what he's told, and being present only when asked to be. always the obedient little thing, never with any ambitions of his own. when they struggled, well, that's fine isn't it? when they rose to fame, well, isn't that what they had all wanted? let others take the spotlight, he's alright just where he is.
but what does he really want to do, himself? he know, deep down, but pursuing them means putting himself out there, and it's so much easier to just... not...

Even though he has always desired it, fame has been quite an... elusive ordeal for Seo Jinyoung. Now it might just be beyond recovering, lost for eternity, buried along with everything he has sacrificed to achieve it. He was meant for greatness. He has known it since the day he was born. He has worked harder than any other. He has got the talent, the skill, the mindset. He was meant for this, he knows this. But sometimes, just sometimes...
To say that he is bitter would be an understatement.

you don't get much more maknae than shin minjun. at least 6 years younger than any of the other guys, he is often on a completely differentt wavelength than the rest of the group. he debuted with aeon in 2013 when he was 15, all he knows is being a star or working towards being a star, for better or for worse.
on paper he's the perfect idol, handsome, youthful, a soft triple threat. but is fame everything that he wanted it to be? and how does he get everyone to see that he's no longer the young teen he started out as? those are questions he doesn't really have an answer to.

This man is a comedy of errors, mostly his own, and he’s the first to let you know. Perhaps it’s fitting that the traitor who missed out on Aeon’s fame now earns his keep as a comedian. Any bad joke he makes is better than his own life so come on and laugh! That’s what he wants you to do! Joowo himself laughs the loudest, slapping many a knee and whole-heartedly agreeing that leaving Aeon was a dumb move.
So you’d think they’d not avoid each other on broadcast right? And yet… things funny indeed….

Lee Baekhyun is someone who’s all too familiar with being the child left behind, and it’s not a good feeling. He spent his life building up the perfect mask to try and keep as many people around as he possibly could, he remains cheerful out of desperation and clings to those around him with everything he has. unfortunately the pressure of the idol industry proved more than he could handle and he ultimately decided to retire from the group during the hiatus.
