yeoreum's writing, sure. her attention's on the screen in front of her, and the demo she'd been tasked to write lyrics for. ever so often, though, her eyes flicker to where yebin's perched on her studio's loveseat, like a babysitter making sure their kid isn't in mortal peril. she's done a fair job of entertaining herself so far, but she's been getting more and more restless the past few times yeoreum'd checked in on her, and she supposes the older's finally hit boiling point.

"you can't rush art." yeoreum wiggles her fingers in the air dramatically, the very picture of a feminist shakespeare. "how am i supposed to come up with the next lovey lovey lovey, dovey dovey dovey without the creative space to breathe, unni?" still, she pauses the music, a glance at the clock telling her just how long yebin's been forced to fend off boredom on her own.

"maaaaaybe. they said it might be one of the contenders for a b-side, and to see if i could change the lyrics to something more future/femme-y. would you believe how many demos i've made unromantic? in that vein, it's so crazy how unfeminist we get when we're in love."

"come on, i'm boooored."

it was mainly yebin's fault for deciding to join yeoreum when she was working on music but in her defense, she didn't think it would take this long. however, it seemed that her groupmate was really in the zone, and yebin was probably stuck here for a while.

of course, she could leave if she wanted to but, as she stated, she was bored and yeoreum was the perfect company for such a moment. "you've been writing lyrics for like an hour. i'm sure you've got a whole song written by now."

while yebin tried to be more of a songwriter for the group, she learned early on that she just wasn't talented in the aspect. she left that part up to her other members who were a lot more musically involved than she was. she'd just follow along with whatever ideas she had and play telephone if they needed her to relay something to the company.

"what are you writing anyway? something for the next album?"

do you think you would have been happy as an everlast idol? if you could go back with the promise of debuting in viv:id, would you? if you had to steal one other artist's song for future/femme or as a solo song, what would it be?

"oh, nooooo. i remember feeling immediately better when i terminated my trainee contract with them; like, it was that bad. looking at how mirror...myworld ended up too, i definitely don't think i'd be happy under everlast at all."

"it's nice to think about the what-ifs, but if i'm going back with the knowledge i have now, i'd say no. future/femme fits me like a glove, and i'm insanely happy with the creative freedom the company awards me. i wouldn't really have fit viv:id's concept, too, and the fans of ---- would've eaten me alive, too. the me then would probably answer differently, though, thinking about how desperate i was to debut."

"myworld's ditto for a solo! it's one of my all-time favourite songs, i think. i love the melody, production, lyrics, choreography. everything! i also would like to experience feelings like that..."

hey... hey. how y'all doin

jia (21+, s/h) back again with the main vocalist of f/f, but this time with a brand spanking new personality and face! as always, discord & ims available for plotting, with the former being preferred! more under the cut, as always. i'll be slowly making the rounds & popping into the ims to say hi and hopefully plot with everyone, but like this and i'll get to u a lil speedier ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

background:

parents separated when she was younger, and mama carted her off to canada claiming she was giving yeoreum a good education & a leg up by raising her in an english speaking country.

moves back to korea years later, because mom scams her way into marrying some well-off guy. mom's happy to let her go-- for yr's sake, ofc. korea's education system is better than canada's. her new man's pockets are deeper than whatever child support check papa han could ever write.

she's cast by everlast through instagram dms, and decides 2 do it for shits and giggles (and because she's got dreams of being the next jiyeon and roly-polying her way through life. mostly shits and giggles, though the popularity boost doesn't hurt either.)

the giggles don't last long, though, because reality checks her. hard. while she falls in love with being an idol, she struggles with the rigorous standards, only ever too much or too little.

eventually, she makes the decision to quit in high school and focus on her studies.

spoiler: she doesn't! so here she is, a high school graduate with mediocre results that get her nowhere near seoul universities. her dad tells her to stop having one foot out the door at all times and figure out what exactly it is that she wants and to focus on that goal.

a twist of fate, and she finds herself on a survival show. this action will have consequences!

starts off strong, but every tv show needs its ratings, and she's an easy villain. people start to criticise her ambition, and she looks more greedy than desperate. a hate train eventually starts, which she takes to heart. stressed and tired, she ends up snapping at a fan-favourite contestant during a lapse of judgment, and ruh-roh!

gets kicked off, unsurprisingly. she sticks around only for the final episode, as contractually obligated, but after that, it's back to the land of moose... meese... for her. doesn't want to talk about it, but...

releases a self-written song on soundcloud, which leads to culture creative's scouting her, and the rest is history.

now:

a study in being split between two worlds, dealing with the fact that everything you wanted isn't quite that, and being everything everywhere all at once.

one of f/f's producers and composers, and will brag about her group to anyone unlucky enough to be within earshot.

a big fan of 2nd gen ggs. doesn't listen to anyone in her own generation, cause like... what? are they meant to be competition?

in that vein, also very confident. never arrogant, because she knows that some shiny new thing could just as quickly take her/their place, so she works insanely hard to keep herself & the group relevant and in the public eye.

big 3: virgo sun, libra moon & sag rising. life of the party, but also a perfectionist... but it's whatever rly.

pretty girl who knows it. still, tell her! would've absolutely been called a diva if she was an actress in the 2000s because she knows what she wants and isn't scared to ask for it.

pls ask me for explanation/context behind a pin off her board because i would be so happy to answer xx
