tw // mentions of abuse and death

kirsa ulsh was born on november 27th, 1998, in mapo-gu, south korea, to two german parents. she is an only child as her parents never wanted children in the first place. this affected kirsa's relationship with her parents growing up, as they resented her entire existence. anytime they were around kirsa, her parents were physically and emotionally abusive towards her. eventually, her parents met the future ceo of reverie entertainment, moobon hyuk, and pushed him to start the company after learning about his wishes and even offered him money to help start the company up. shortly after he founded the company, kirsa's parents would dump her there and not come back until 12am or not until the next day. after seeing this go on for weeks, he went to say something to them only to get a phone call saying the two had been caught in a drunk driving incident and didn't make it out alive. hyuk then went to adopt kirsa and offered her his last name, moobon, to which she agreed to finally release herself from her parent's shackles.

hyuk also offered her a spot in reverie entertainment if she wanted. she wasn't even sure if she could make it as an idol, but eventually agreed and became the first trainee under the label. she was never pushed around or forced to change her eating habits, as hyuk wanted her to succeed in school and stay healthy. after a few months, reverie entertainment welcomed its second trainee, chu hi-ah, aka marian. having another trainee around made kirsa get into the idol mindset and helped her push herself to become a better performer. kirsa didn't have a safe place to grow up between her parents and being alienated at school, so she began to find solace in song writing in her room. she never had any intentions of ever publishing these songs, but they were a good way for her to vent her feelings. though, during her training period, she eventually released her interest in songwriting to hyuk and after reading some of her songs, he immediately agreed to have her on as the future group's lyricist and possible producer if she wished.

kirsa was extremely nervous to debut in labyrinth as she didn't know how the public would react to a non-asian member being in the group. her worries were for nothing as she was met with nothing but love from the general public.

tw // mentions of death

eun ki-moon was born on february 28th, 1995, in seoul, south korea. he is the eldest of two siblings. his family was always traveling back and forth from seoul to munich, germany due to help ki-moon's grandmother, who had health issues. when he was seven, they moved to munich permanently after her condition worsened. after a year of living in munich, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. his parents were under a great amount of stress with the worsening condition of his grandmother and his new diagnosis. his parents were able to balance caring for him and their jobs after his grandmother sadly passed away a few months later. after three years, they moved back to seoul. moving back to south korea is what helped spark his interest in dance. despite his illness, his mother wanted him to live a normal life and live out his dreams, so she signed him up for dance classes.

the dance classes helped, as he was scouted by jyp during one of his classes. his parents were ecstatic and let him audition. he made it into the company when he was fifteen years old. he was then added to the lineup for got7, but was dropped the next year after he had to go to the hospital for a bout of severe nausea. he only had six months until got7 debuted. he got frustrated and gave up on his dream of joining a label, much to his parents' dismay. however, a month later, he was street casted for reverie entertainment. he nearly denied it, but his mom asked him to give it a chance. if they said or did anything to him because of his condition, he could quit. he auditioned and immediately got in and was put in the lineup for labyrinth. he was expecting to be removed from the lineup after a few incidents of low blood sugar, but was relieved to find out that the ceo didn't mind since he saw great potential in ki-moon.

a couple months before labyrinth's debut, he still didn't have a stage name and was scrambling to pick one since the member reveals were going to be posted soon. fellow member atticus recommended the name 'briar' since he slept like sleeping beauty in the practice room. he found it hilarious and chose it as his stage name. he trained for eight months and was the sixth member to be introduced. after debuting, he began to help with choreographing dances for each comeback since he has many years of dancing experience. if any of the members are having issues with learning any of the more difficult dances, he is always there to help them and even change it if more than one member is struggling.

OLDER SISTER : kimura himari ( stat. alive )

YOUNGER BROTHER : kimura kaito ( stat. alive )

kimura umeko was born on january 17th, 1996, in kyoto, japan, to two japanese parents. she has one older sister and one younger brother. she has always had a passion for dancing, and seeing groups on tv such as akb48 and momoiro clover z only fueled her love for dancing. her parents disapproved of this hobby and always tried to get umeko into something else more acceptable in their eyes, but she always pushed against it. one day, while talking to her sister about her dream career, her sister felt that umeko should be given a chance to prove herself to her parents, but they denied this. their parents said it's either them and their family or dancing. umeko chose to dance, and umeko's older sister chose to support her. their parents relinquished all rights to umeko to umeko's older sister, and they packed their bags and left for south korea.

things were bumpy once they got there, considering umeko's older sister was only twenty, and hadn't had much experience in the real world. after reconnecting with an old family friend, umeko's older sister was able to find a job and an apartment for the two to live in. while her older sister was at work, umeko would research through labels. after no luck with finding one she liked, she went for a walk and stumbled across a poster for reverie entertainment that was requesting trainees. she immediately snatched the poster and ran home. umeko showed her sister after she returned home, and she immediately agreed to let umeko audition. after contacting them, they had an audition date set for the next week. during the week leading up to it, umeko trained to ensure that she wouldn't mess anything up. on her audition day, everything went flawlessly and she was accepted into the company within two days.

the only thing umeko truly struggled with was learning korean, though the other labyrinth trainees were there to help her, and she was able to become fluent within a year. she trained for four years and was the seventh member to be introduced. with her passion and self-learned expertise, she was able to get herself up to the point where she was able to call the shots on choreography along with her fellow member, briar. she can appear fierce when it comes to their choreography, but she is always there to help and push the members to success.

tw // mentions of suicide, self harm, and hospitalization

atticus bang was born on november 19th, 1993, in san francisco, california. he is an only child. growing up, he only had his father as his mother left after he was born. with only his dad's income coming in, life for atticus growing up wasn't easy. his dad was constantly stressed due to little funds, but atticus would always put on concerts for him to brighten his spirit. when his father could, he would buy atticus kpop cds that he managed to find to help him connect to his korean roots more. these cds helped spark his love for singing. atticus vowed to his father that we would become a singer one day and make him proud. at one point, they had to move due to the landlord raising the rent. after moving, his father heard that an old colleague of his lived across the hall, and went to see if it was true. it was, and his old colleague had a son named taro who was around atticus' age.

the two became best friends and atticus was always showing taro the newest k-pop cds that his father had got for him. the two would always put on little concerts for their parents when they were younger despite taro not knowing the words, which would always make atticus laugh. atticus would always mention his love for singing and his future dream career to anyone who would listen, especially taro. after years of hearing about it, it eventually got taro on board to audition for reverie entertainment online with him. about a week after that, they both received an acceptance letter, and were headed off to south korea with atticus' father to begin their idol journey. atticus was anxious about the new environment, but managed to pull through with the support of his father and taro.

he almost made it through his entire training period when he received the news that his father had committed suicide. he was beyond devastated and fell into a deep depression. he almost had to go back to america since he was a minor and that's where his mother was, but after she received the news, she flew over. her father and mother kept in contact every day, and she was no stranger to atticus' dreams of becoming a singer. though after they reunited, they agreed that atticus should be hospitalized after she found him cutting himself. he was spiraling, his father was gone, and his dreams of becoming an idol were nearly lost. he did treatment for three months and finished a month before labyrinth debuted. after talking to the ceo of reverie entertainment, he agreed to keep atticus on as a member. he trained for two years and was the fourth member to be introduced. after debuting, atticus found a love for song writing as it was a good way to help others around him understand him.
