#group: LVLMAX

[pashpops]

LVLMAX

Debuted in 2007 as fresh-faced youngsters and back in action after completing their military service, LVLMAX are either a legendary senior group or washed up tryhards who can't accept their glory days are over, depending who you ask. But despite all odds, they've stayed together through enlistment, scandals, botched cosmetic surgery and 3 flop releases in a row. (Those odds might be pushed in their favour by  a deliriously obsessive domestic and international fanbase and just enough nostalgia appeal/name recognition for the general public that they continue to sell out stadiums despite not charting in 4 years.)

Members: Duyeon/Big D (leader), San, Justin (fake maknae), Min, Jintaek, Daero (maknae), Sangwoo

Fandom name: Hundreds

Stage Name: Duyeon/Big D Birth Name: Kim Duyeon Position: Leader, Vocalist, Composer, Lyricist, Rapper Birthday: 1987 Zodiac: Leo Height: 179cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Black Favourite Food: Good coffee Least Favourite Food: Bad coffee Hobbies: Writing music, DJing, making mixtapes

 Facts: - LVLMAX’s musical genius, writes a lot of their music. - Very serious and passionate about his work as he is aware that everyone views him as “just an idol”. He tends to be very pushy about the “Real Artiste” thing, even when writing stupid pop songs about getting drunk and partying. - Self-proclaimed “hopeless romantic”, his groupmates prefer “idiot who falls in love at first sight”. - Ideal type at debut: someone tall and slender, with a nice smile. Ideal type now: someone with a beautiful voice.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Serial monogamist, very clingy and emotionally fragile. Has nearly gotten married about 4 times, but luckily none have happened or even made news, mostly due to San and Justin begging him not to reveal his relationships until they reach the 2 year mark. - Doesn’t have many sasaengs and didn’t even in their boom era because he would just stand outside and complain about his hardships and lecture those who would crowd around their dorm until they got bored and left on their own.

Stage Name: San Birth Name: Lee Minsoo Position: Rapper, Vocal Birthday: 1988 Zodiac: Cancer Height: 183cm Weight: 89kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Light blue Favourite Food: Fatty beef Least Favourite Food: Protein shake Hobbies: Working out, video games, watching scifi movies

 Facts: - Looks wild and hypermasculine on stage, but he’s actually quite mild-mannered. - Got picked on a lot in middle school for being into nerdy things, so he started working out, and was on the cover of a men’s magazine within a month of debut. - Still into nerdy things and has a reputation of being either the most entertaining member on variety or the absolutely most boring, with no in between. - Nicknamed “Mama-San” because he’s always fussing and worrying over his members and famously started crying on TV when talking about when Daero was called for his military service. His manly looks combined with his delicate tears became a huge meme, to the point where people who don’t even know who he is use the screencaps and gifs from that show as reaction images. - Ideal type at debut: someone smart and talkative. Ideal type now: someone strong-willed and who shares his interests.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Worries about Daero the most because he’s seen him get in lots of relatively minor trouble and doesn’t want him to get involved in serious shit just because he’s too naive to say no. His famous tears were more because he wouldn’t be able to look after him in the military than just the fact he had to go.

Stage Name: Justin Birth Name: Justin Park Position: Vocals, Dancer, Fake Maknae Birthday: 1989 Zodiac: Capricorn Height: 172cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Pink Favourite Food: Candy Least Favourite Food: Pickles Hobbies: Girl group dances, making up new aegyo, teasing Minwei

 Facts: - Born in Houston, Texas, but moved to Korea 13 years ago. - Was the industry’s #1 It Boy during LVLMAX’s debut and boom era, and has not changed his personality or style since then. - Infamous for his crossdressing, girl group dances, and extreme aegyo. - Well known as the industry’s “rumour factory”. Especially loves dating rumours about himself. - On every single variety show you can think of and a few more plus. - Used to have long platinum blonde hair during their debut and boom era, but had to cut it as it was literally melting off. His fans were distraught at the time, but they’re gradually coming around to the fact that he looks better with shorter hair anyway. - His predebut photos have become kind of a punchline because of how different he looks in them, having had his jaw shaved, his nose and eyes done multiple times, and his chin and cheeks changing shape every few years. He’s mostly settled into this face, but he posts with such heavy filters on social media that people can’t really tell if he’s going to change it or has already changed it. - Ideal type at debut: a pretty noona with lots of aegyo. Ideal type: the same

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Desperately, desperately wants his boom era popularity back, but can’t comprehend why doing the same old cringe shit he did back in the day isn’t working. - Knows he’s a shipping magnet and that he got a large part of his popularity from people who ship him with Daero, but Daero has proven popular by himself, and he doesn’t like that Daero calls him “hyung” despite them only being a few months apart because it makes him sound old. - Convinced that Subi of DTSY saying he was her ideal type but then taking it back just means that she’s a tsundere playing hard-to-get, and he will NOT stop bringing it up. - Very, very vain. - Best friends with Minwei, but also a little jealous of his late boom of popularity.

Stage Name: Min Birth Name: Li Minwei Position: Main Vocal Birthday: 1989 Zodiac: Pisces Height: 180cm Weight: kg Blood Type: A Favourite Colour: Forest green Favourite Food: Anything super spicy and aromatic Least Favourite Food: Anything dairy Hobbies: Writing music, playing video games, teasing Justin

 Facts: - Originally from Chengdu, but he’s lived in Seoul since debut and people can hardly tell he has an accent any more. - Got a lot of panda-related things during their debut and boom period and got into a fairly big scandal for donating all of it to a local preschool. His words were “I never even said I liked pandas. You assumed it because I’m Chinese, isn’t that wrong? It’s not that I don’t appreciate gifts from fans, but please think about the feelings of others.”. To this day he still has a contingent of antis because of how “ungrateful” and “overly sensitive” he was, but he’s stopped getting panda gifts, so he considers it worthwhile. - Even though he has a shy and quiet image, he gets quite rowdy and mouthy on variety, and has started to overtake Justin on variety show appearances because of how funny and outrageous his  “no bullshit, just facts” behind-the-scenes stories are. - Ideal type at debut: someone gentle and understanding. Ideal type now: the same, but also someone who’s smart with money.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Was so upset by the panda gift scandal that he considered leaving the group, but the other members, especially Sangwoo and Jintaek, convinced him to stay. To this day it’s still the only time the group has ever fractured, and he’s very glad he decided to stay because his popularity has only grown since. - Feels a little sorry for Justin because they’re best friends but he doesn’t know how to tell him to change his act up without making him angry or having him assume he’s trying to sabotage him.

Stage Name: Jintaek Birth Name: Han Jintaek Position: Vocalist, Visual Birthday: 1987 Zodiac: Taurus Height: 190cm Weight: 70kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Silver Favourite Food: Grilled chicken Least Favourite Food: Pungent foods Hobbies: Modelling, photography, cooking

 Facts: - Better known as an actor to the public than an idol, and better known for being incredibly tall and having super long legs than as an actor. - Although he has a cool and chic image, he’s actually very warm and kind and is known to convert even the most staunch hater into a fan just with one short conversation. - Advocate for mental health, has admitted to suffering from depression and anxiety and wants to change the way people speak about mental health to destigmatise what he believes shouldn’t be a thing people are scared about talking about. - Ideal type at debut: none. Ideal type now: someone trustworthy and proud.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - More than just depression and anxiety, he was suicidal as a teenager and once tried to kill himself rather than go to school the next day. Luckily, he was saved by his older brother who had just happened to sneak into his room to borrow something from him. To this day he still thinks about how much his brother cried while apologising for not understanding how he felt, and made a vow that he would try his best to be more open about his feelings and to replace those memories in his brother’s mind with happy ones instead. - Whenever he has dark thoughts, he cooks. He’s especially good at plating food, as he feels the perfect presentation can make even the most average dish seem spectacular. - Known to stick to Daero a lot, which makes a lot of people ship them. The truth is that Daero just has a high body temperature while Jintaek is always cold, and Daero is more than happy to cuddle for warmth.

Stage Name: Daero Birth Name: Yun Daero Position: Main Rapper, Main Dancer, Maknae Birthday: 1990 Zodiac: Pisces Height: 180cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Red Favourite Food: Hamburgers Least Favourite Food: Tripe, anything with too much fat Hobbies: Working out, drawing, fashion and hair styling

 Facts: - Has 20 piercings! - Has a rough and tough image on stage, but he’s actually very soft and gentle and a bit of a coward. - Despite all his piercings, he’s too scared to get a tattoo. - Even though he and Justin are about the same age, he still calls Justin “hyung”, to Justin’s dismay. - Very cuddly, loves skinship and hugs. His favourite thing is when people ruffle his hair and tell him that he did a good job, which they did a lot more back when he was the cute maknae, and not so much now after he’s returned from the army and gotten his nose bridge piercing, to his dismay. - Ideal type at debut: noona. Ideal type now: someone patient and kind.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Of his 20 piercings, 2 of them are through his nipples, and 1 is a frenum piercing (that is, just under the glans of his penis). He is heavily considering more genital piercings, but it’s hard to find the time off to let them heal. - Not very bright, and is easily convinced by others. This makes him a great target on variety, even though sometimes he’s still too dumb to realise that he’s the butt of the joke. - Gets into the stupidest scandals possible, like driving a forklift unlicensed.

Stage Name: Sangwoo Birth Name: Kim Sangwoo Position: Main Vocal Birthday: 1987 Zodiac: Virgo Height: 178cm Weight: kg Blood Type: B Favourite Colour: Light blue Favourite Food: Samgyeopsal Least Favourite Food: Limes Hobbies: Reading, hiking, singing

 Facts: - LVLMAX’s ballad and OST king. - Like Daero, famous for his “gap” between his on and off stage personas. He has a dark and brooding persona on stage, but he has a fresh and simple aesthetic in his everyday life. - He’s very serious at all times and is often the unwilling “straight man” on variety. - Suffered a lot of trauma during LVLMAX’s boom era because of sasaengs who broke into their dorms and stole his personal belongings and antis who constantly sent him threatening messages and one who almost killed him by cutting the brakes of his car. - Ideal type at debut: Someone who looks cool on the outside but is innocent and kind on the inside. Ideal type now: Someone who has their own career and family so isn’t worried about being together all the time.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Because of his traumatic experiences with sasaengs and antis, he’s become very suspicious of everyone he meets and is paranoid whenever he’s in public. Because of this behaviour, he’s also become known as someone who’s very cold to fans.

SWEE-T

nation's girl group, Swee-T! Well, nowadays... not so much. Oh, they still have a huge fandom, despite having as many lineup changes as hits (A Lot), but said fandom can't let go of their cutie image from their debut over a decade ago no matter how many new concepts they try…

Members: Soojin, Eve (leader), Mindeulle, Yesarang, Sunhee, Juliette (maknae)

Fandom name: Ices

Stage Name: Soojin Birth Name: Han Soo Jin Position: Rapper Birthday: 1989 Zodiac: Libra Height: 165cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Purple Favourite Food: Roast sweet potato Least Favourite Food: Chewing gum Hobbies: Taking selfies, listening to music, shopping

 Facts: - One of the three remaining original members along with Eve and Yesarang. - Even though she doesn’t get many lines, she says she doesn’t mind because she gets a lot of screentime and that’s more important. - Started a youtube channel where she uploads skincare and makeup tips, though it’s mostly popular for the guest appearances of other idols. - Originally the most popular member, but she lost a lot of fans after she got into a dating scandal with LVLMAX’s Duyeon. She’s still mad about it because 1) they never dated 2) she thinks Duyeon is ugly and 3) if she was going to date someone from LVLMAX, it would be Jintaek, anyway. - Ideal type at debut: Someone tall and handsome with a pretty smile. Ideal type now: The same.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Updates her face every comeback, but her fans will rip you to shreds for mentioning it. - Really wants to be “the sexy one” but has virtually no charisma whatsoever. - Over the whole idol thing in general but has no ambition to do anything else, so she just puts in the minimum possible effort, and because she’s one of the original members, she gets away with it. - Spends most of her time taking selfies and spends the rest of her spamming the group chat with very mundane conversation topics which the members barely reply to. Really is quite a boring person.

Stage Name: Eve Birth Name: Min Cho Rong Position: Leader, Visual Birthday: 1989 Zodiac: Scorpio Height: 170cm Weight: kg Blood Type: AB Favourite Colour: Mint green, pastel pink Favourite Food: Peach sorbet Least Favourite Food: Milk coffee Hobbies: Being beautiful

 Facts: - Princess disease, vanity, overconfidence, conceit… whatever you want to call it, she’s very confident in her beauty, and so charismatic that she’s impossible to deny. - Nation’s first love, largely considered the prettiest idol ever, and if you don’t believe it, she’ll tell you. - Genius-level IQ, which she mentioned off-hand during a comedy talk show so everyone assumed she was joking, but she later revealed on Swee-T’s fancafe her perfect marks on her college exams, and later, actual IQ test results. Went back to the comedy talk show to prove herself, but ended up talking about the struggles of being so beautiful again, so the public still thinks it’s a joke. - Impenetrable wall of confidence, knows she gets a lot of hate comments but doesn’t care because she gets way more love from her fans and the general public. - Aspiring actress, though she’s only had guest and supporting roles so far. - Wonderful cook, likes making desserts most of all. - Ideal type at debut: someone wealthy, good-looking, tall, smart, and worshipful. Ideal type now: the same, but ideally they also have a holiday house overseas and know the stock market well.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Unlike CiCi, who kind of adopted the “princess disease” concept as a defence mechanism, Eve lives it. As in, yes, that is her real personality, and no, she doesn’t care if you don’t like it. - She really is a genius, she’s just vain foremost. - Only child of poor parents. Her paternal family used to be quite wealthy but fell into poverty after the war, so her father insisted on raising her to be an ideal wife so she would get married to someone rich and restore his family’s name. Her mother was aware of this, and didn’t mind until he started telling his coworkers, all in their 40s and 50s, about his beautiful teenage daughter who would be old enough to get married soon, and she started pushing for Eve to find work away from home. Eve was discovered while training to become a hairdresser, and when she told her parents that she had been cast in a girl group, her father immediately told her to quit because only whores become singers, and that was the final straw for her mother, who left him and came to support Eve in the city and taught her to be more confident so she’d never be a downtrodden woman like she was. - Very, very wealthy because she invests most of her earnings (her reasoning is that she already bought houses for her and her mother, and “I get paid to wear beautiful things, why would I pay for them?”), not to mention the fact she had her contract lawyer of a best friend go over her contract and tweak a few things to make it much more fair than most standard idol contracts.

Stage Name: Mindeulle Birth Name: Lee Min Ji Position: Rapper, Vocalist, Dancer Birthday: 1991 Zodiac: Aquarius Height: 167cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Cobalt blue Favourite Food: Jjajangmyeon Least Favourite Food: Grapefruit Hobbies: Writing music, cycling, travelling

 Facts: - Joined the group with Juliette after three of the original members left. - Originally had a soft and pretty “cute little girl” image, but she cut her hair short for a comeback a few years ago, and has stuck with the “bifauxnen” look ever since. Her fanboys hate it. - Although she mostly raps in Swee-T songs, she has a sweet and mellow singing voice, and originally auditioned to be a vocalist. - Often can be seen cycling around the city and has participated in a few charity races, although she’s never won first place. - Ideal type: Someone with a lot of natural cuteness.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Super duper gay. The only thing stopping her talking about it is that she’s simply not one of the members who gets invited to talk shows and she’s too much of an outdoorsy type to really get on social media unless she’s been specifically directed to in order to promote a new single or something like that. - Of the members, probably the least popular with the public, no doubt because of her masculine image. - Despite this, she has a strong contingent of superfans who are always rallying for her to get more singing parts. - Has a really tight relationship with Juliette, who she joined the group alongside and who is also very into girls. However, their tastes are very different (Juliette likes strong girls who can care for her, Mindeulle likes… well, Mindeulle likes all kinds of girls, but especially gentle and cute ones who don’t have so much the idol look) so they don’t actually talk about girls together very much. Probably just as well, because neither of them have actually realised they’re each other’s ideal types...

Stage Name: Yesarang Birth Name: Lim Ye Sarang Position: Power Vocal Birthday: 1993 Zodiac: Pisces Height: 166cm Weight: kg Blood Type: A Favourite Colour: Black Favourite Food: Sashimi Least Favourite Food: Banana milk Hobbies: Playing piano, hairstyling

 Facts: - Was the maknae of the group at debut, but now Juliette is the maknae, she takes her role as unnie very seriously and treats her very well. - Has always had sharp features even as a young teenager. She’s not angry, that’s just her face! - A perfectionist. - Has been trying to write new songs for Swee-T, but she always gets stuck on the lyrics, as she’s not a very poetic person and all of her lyrics end up sounding stiff. She and Mindeulle collaborated for a special stage during a Japanese tour, but so far, that’s the only self-written track the fans have heard. - Ideal type at debut: none. Ideal type now: still none, too busy to think about romance.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Real leader of Swee-T, as Eve is generally uninterested in any leaderly activities other than leading group introductions or accepting awards, while Yesarang is very involved in all of the behind-the-scenes. - Really only cares about Swee-T and tries her absolute hardest to make sure the group is a success. - Still very bitter about the other members (1 before they got popular, 2 after their popularity started to wane… thus accelerating said wane) leaving, and has made some really quite petty comments about the latter two’s departures and how she felt like they used the group to get themselves famous then abandoned her-- the group-- once they felt they were famous enough. - Due to her strong loyalty to the group, she’s kind of bought into their own hype and thinks anything Swee-T deserves all the praise in the world, and whenever their singles flop (well, they always sell, some just not as much as she might be used to), it’s obvious, to her, that they’ve been set up/ripped off/there’s someone actively working against them. - Very standoffish towards rookies, especially ones with more creative control than Swee-T have. - Very standoffish in general, really, and doesn’t trust new people easily because she’s been burned too many times by people who she thought were her friends.

Stage Name: Sunhee Birth Name: Kim Sun Hee Position: Romantic Vocal Birthday: 1993 Zodiac: Taurus Height: 164cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Pink Favourite Food: Chocolate (white, milk, or a little dark, but not too bitter) Least Favourite Food: Asparagus Hobbies: Watching dramas, writing love songs

 Facts: - The newest member, added recently. - Her voice was specifically chosen to contrast with Yesarang’s and Juliette’s. - Hopeless romantic, every day is Valentine’s Day for her. - She’s still very new to being an idol and performing on stage, but she’s trying her best, so she wishes that everyone can support her in Swee-T and that they can make love-love memories together! - Ideal type: a tall fairytale prince, with wavy hair and a pretty smile.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - The story about her being chosen for her voice is only a half-truth. Her voice is good, but the company saw how naturally flirtatious (and busty) she is and decided she’d be a good addition to Swee-T’s stages. - So focused on her new dream job with a group she’s been a fan of for years that she hasn’t quite realised that she’s being used for sex appeal. - Would she mind once she realised? Probably not, but she wouldn’t be trying so hard to impress everyone with her hard work if she knew that all that was really required of her was to show up to record vocals and wear tight tops when in public. - Her bias when she was a fan was Yesarang, and she’s still a little starstruck despite the fact they’ve been working, sleeping and eating together for a while now. - The fandom LOATHES her for “replacing” the original main vocalist (even though really, Yesarang took that role), often posting hate that she only got in because of her boobs (not entirely wrong), that her boobs aren’t even that big (also not entirely wrong), that she must have slept her way to the top (if she did, she should have kept going, because she’s nowhere near “the top”), that she’s not even talented or pretty (obviously false, but butthurt fans are butthurt fans) etc. - The general public, however, have no interest in her whatsoever, as she blends right into the original member-line the way Mindeulle and Juliette certainly do not, and thus don’t realise she’s new.

Stage Name: Juliette Birth Name: Sang Juliette Position: Vocalist, Dancer Birthday: 1996 Zodiac: Scorpio Height: 172cm Weight: kg Blood Type: A Favourite Colour: Pink Favourite Food: Strawberries Least Favourite Food: Bitter food Hobbies: Customising clothes, makeup, swimming

 Facts: - Joined the group with Mindeulle after 3 of the original members left. - She’s fully Korean, her parents just named her after the Shakespeare character because they thought it’s a pretty name. She is very aware of how that story ends, and has heard every joke there is. - Her lips are real, though people doubt it no matter how many predebut photos she shares. - Debuted at only 15 years old and used to be quite small and a little chubby-cheeked, but had a huge growth spurt and lost weight while the group was on hiatus for a few months and quickly became a trending topic when Swee-T came back, as people couldn’t believe how much her looks changed and how long her legs now were in the tiny shorts the group wore for their comeback promotions. - Among all the members, she’s the one who takes the longest getting ready, as she won’t go anywhere unless she’s done her hair and makeup and has a cute outfit on, not even just to practice. - Ideal type: someone strong and cool who can look after her but is also cute and funny.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - ADHD as hell, and quickly becomes overwhelmed by schedules and criticism. She has a bit of a reputation for being difficult to work with because of this, but she really does try extra hard to keep up with everyone. - A bit shy and introverted around people she doesn’t know, which, especially alongside the very focused Yesarang and the vain Soojin and Eve, can come off as similarly elitist and snobbish. However, she’s actually very nice, if a little innocent. - Not innocent as in unaware of her own sex appeal, though. She’s very aware of her own sex appeal, and while she’s repulsed by the more ribald comments she receives, she does like the attention a lot. - Constantly going back and forth between flirty and reclusive, constantly begging for attention and then not knowing what to do with it. - Not only did she become a trending topic, but she also became a bit of a meme, with people photoshopping her legs to look even longer, or to look shorter, or as elements in other memes, with the tagline “amongst trees, the redwood, amongst girl group’s legs, Juliette Sang” - Although her old social media has been wiped to the best of the company’s ability, it has already leaked that she used to date girls pretty much exclusively and was in a relationship with an older girl who was fairly well-known in goth circles at the time of her debut. The company quickly denied it, and Juliette was scolded heavily for it and was told to break it off immediately, but they still continued to date until eventually Juliette’s schedules caused them to break up naturally.

DTSY/Moon Bunny Girls

the Yeona-produced DTSY/dal tokki sonyeo/달토끼소녀/Moon Bunny Girls (SY instead of the usual SN bc Yeona wants to pronounce it as "ditzy" to everyone's grief). Their debut is dreamy and refreshing bossa nova-influenced pop that shows off their powerful vocals!

Members: Sakshi, Tukta (maknae), Ahjin (leader), Subi, Kyuyoung

Fandom Name: Earth Bunnies

Stage Name: Sakshi Birth Name: Sakshi Deshmukh Position: Honey Vocals, Dancer Birthday: 1995 Zodiac: Aquarius Height: 170cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Blue Favourite Food: Mango Least Favourite Food: Durian Hobbies: Singing, dancing, swimming

 Facts: - Originally from Mumbai, Yeona personally invited her after seeing one of her R1CH cover videos. - Naturally sexy and confident, but with a cute fangirly side. - Very creative and musical, always singing and dancing whether it’s on or off the stage. - Ideal type is someone strong-willed and respectful of her culture.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - A little uncomfortable with her sexy image, not because she’s not naturally sexy and flirtatious, but because people attribute it to her being an “exotic” Indian woman and fetishising her culture. - Gets slutshamed a LOT, and rebuts with simple “you’re just jealous” comments, which lead to her having somewhat of a bitchy, self-absorbed image with the public. CiCi has personally spoken to her about deflecting racist/sexist comments and taking them to make her own image stronger, but it’s a little hard.

Stage Name: Tukta Birth Name: Teeyapar Tukta Paksukcharoen Position: Fairy Vocals, Maknae Birthday: 1997 Zodiac: Leo Height: 157cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Pink Favourite Food: Durian Least Favourite Food: Anything that isn’t durian (joke after finding out all the other members listed durian as their least favourite food) Hobbies: Playing rhythm games, teasing/pranking the other members

 Facts: - Originally from Pattaya, but has been a kpop fan since she was about 10, and learned to speak Korean at a very young age, so her Korean is basically flawless. - People often assume she’s putting on a fake voice, but no, her voice really is that high and cute! - Popular as an advertising model due to her petite figure but her proportionally long legs. - Very quick on the uptake and has talked circles around even legendary variety hosts. - Doesn’t have an ideal type.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Completed a BA in psychology while DTSY were promoting their debut single and is currently enrolled in a doctorate program. Doesn’t make her studying public, but given her looks and her Thai name sticks out a lot, there are a lot of leaks. She is a model student who is consistently at the top of the class. - Like Saskhi, she faces a lot of racism/xenophobia, but it’s less sexually-charged and more about how SEA girls are ugly. She’s taken to just agreeing with comments about her being ugly in a joking way, but her fans are worried that she’s taking it to heart.

Stage Name: Ahjin Birth Name: Han Ahjin Position: Husky Vocals, Main Dancer, Leader Birthday: 1993 Zodiac: Taurus Height: 172cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Bright colours Favourite Food: Cream puff Least Favourite Food: Durian Hobbies: Old school break dancing, acrobatics, playing sport

Facts: - Doesn't mind if you call her unnie or oppa or noona or hyung, as long as you do it with a smile. - Her boyish image is not just a concept, she has always dressed like that since she was little. - Ex-leader of a popular dance crew, so there are a lot of predebut videos of her online, as well as the few times she was a backup dancer for R1CH years before DTSY would come into existence. - Doesn’t have an ideal type. Says gender doesn’t matter when it comes to love.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - She says gender doesn’t matter, but she hasn’t met a man she actually wants to sleep with, while she’s constantly crushing on girls. Probably a lesbian who just likes looking at prettyboys. - One woman she has a persistent crush on is Lion, so it’s kind of weird for her when people tell her they look similar, especially seeing as the only real similarity between them is short hair. - She also gets compared to Jamie a lot, but as “the more manly version”. Neither she or Jamie know how to take that.

Stage Name: Subi Birth Name: Park Subi Position: Siren Vocals Birthday: 1996 Zodiac: Scorpio Height: 161cm Weight: kg Blood Type: B Favourite Colour: Pink Favourite Food: Lemon gelato Least Favourite Food: Durian Hobbies: Arguing with Tukta and Saskhi about 1st gen girl groups

Facts: - Although she has a dreamy and sweet look, she's actually quite sharp and witty and isn't afraid to let displeasure show. - A little infamous for her quick change expressions, where she goes from a cute idol smile to a cold glare and back again. She’s always cute and happy around female idols, though. - Has a near encyclopedic knowledge of girl group dances of all genres but the only boy group dances she knows are the really cutesy ones. - Was once voted the unofficial visual (DTSY doesn’t have an official one) and took it as an insult. - Ideal type is Justin from LVLMAX. He was delighted to hear that and bragged about it on variety, so she changed it to “someone cute and modest who doesn’t brag.”

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Full blown misandrist. She knows men ain’t shit and she will not take shit from them no matter how minor the shit is. Has a reputation for being rude and bitchy behind the scenes because of this. - When she chose Justin as her ideal type, it was just that he was the first famous male idol with a cute image that she could think of, she doesn’t have any particular interest in him or LVLMAX at all, and has said as much at fanmeets. However, some of Justin’s fans (the few of them that don’t ship him with men) ship her with him like crazy, and the rest hate her and consider her a filthy slut who became an idol just to sleep with their precious angel. The whole situation just made her hate men even more.

Stage Name: Kyuyoung Birth Name: Lee Kyuyoung Position: Fierce Vocals Birthday: 1993 Zodiac: Sagittarius Height: 165cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Favourite Food: Least Favourite Food: Durian Hobbies: Karaoke, playing video games, telling jokes

 Facts: - Often mistaken as one of the “foreigner line”, but she’s fully Korean and has never left Korea in her life. - Originally was training to become a comedian and variety host, but Yeona was so impressed with her vocals that she offered her a spot in her new gg. Of the members, she's the one most like Yeona herself, very goofy and not afraid of embarrassing herself. - Rising variety star. - Ideal type is someone with a good sense of humour.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Very insecure about her looks and her dancing ability, heavily doubted Yeona’s decision to cast her in her new gg, but she loves singing and the feeling of being on stage, so she soldiers on. - Luckily, her self-deprecating sense of humour comes across well on variety, and lets her talk through her issues in a way that is well-received and helps raise the group’s name.
