Heol... I heard some of my friends in class talking about how they'd seen him near the Hydra building a while back but I really thought they were just fooling around... this is crazy if it's true, nobody really cares about idols these days unless they hit big, so the idea of someone with so much clout becoming one is so-so. Idol fans are so annoying, too, I'm seriously f*cking mad already thinking about the nepo-baby allegations, ah.... ㅠㅠ I wonder which company managed to get him...

no but ㅋㅋ i'm strangely looking forward to his debut as an idol

why is everyone assuming he's going into music? i think some of hydra's subsidiaries take actors, too!

just... why would he become a trainee? he already debuted as an actor and with his parents' connections he could do literally anything else ㅎ why would anyone choose to be an idol in his situation?

his visuals are no joke so i hope it's true~~ huiseok oppa, fightinggg~~~

damn, he really looks just like his father. seriously, the older he gets the more his face says hanwookhanwookhanwook.

i hope he debuts quickly....seriously.....ah, huiseok,...

but isn't he already complete? what more could training do? i feel like his skills, his visuals and his personality are seriously f*cking solid...

he sucked in cheer up, but i didn't think he sucked bad enough to make a complete career pivot

mm, anyway, this is cute and all, but i hope he fails at this quickly and quietly so he can do another drama next year

THE PRODIGIAL SON

huiseok looks just like his father. even if he didn’t already think so himself, more and more as he gets older, he hears it often enough that it must be true. he thinks maybe it’s their way of comforting him, but it’s been years and his dad lives on in his mirror; in the pictures that cover their family home; in the feedback he receives for everything he does, good or bad. he lives. and sometimes, when huiseok has a particularly rough day, when the people around him go out of their way to make him feel like he’s as good as wearing his father’s skin, he kind-of hates him for it and then hates himself for hating him for it. all of the best things that huiseok has wouldn’t even /be/ his, if it weren’t for the industry “in” he’d had by virtue of his parentage. he’s gong hanwook and choi sunhui’s only son, the sole carrier-on of his father’s legacy, and that means something. it means everything, actually.

he starts young, a fresh face on a children’s show, a child in the presence of adults who make all the decisions for him. he’s cute and he’s charming, and obedient in the way that all introverted little kids tend to be. he takes direction like a champ and they decide, before the velcros are even off his shoes, that he’ll be a star.

he is his father’s son.

mercifully, they give him his youth, and it’s of his own volition that he comes back into the industry, first through acting, but then, surprisingly, as an idol trainee. it feels like the first thing that he ever really does on his own, for himself. with acting, he’s a name and a face, but as a potential member of a group…okay, he’s still a face, but he has his merit, too; his voice, his dancing, his words. that much feels true. for a while, at least — and, for years, it is. he does “music” and practices his acting, too, when time allows to appease the tiny voice in his head that still, always, wants to make his father proud.

with that, comes the pressure for it to amount to something lest he be pulled back into the ever-crashing waves of his father's legacy, forced into shoes entirely too big to fill.

(he is his father's son.)

THE HOLY FATHER (and MOTHER!)

his father, Gong Hanwook, is a household name, an actor who rose to fame in the early 90s, first through a popular drama and then eventually for his visuals and multiple roles in deeply culturally impactful movies and media. there was a point in time where he was more or less the equivalent of a brad pitt, a tom cruise or a leonardo dicaprio in hollywood and, to this day, he’s always a part of the “great actors of south korea” conversation. his wife, huiseok’s mother, Choi Sunhui is a retired supermodel who rose to prominence around the same time as his father with a career more comparable to a devon aoki or a kate moss in terms of iconography. her star has faded some, but she’s still someone that young women look up to for visual inspiration and it’s fairly often that pictures of her modeling, and even off-duty, in the late 90s/early 00s go viral.
