You could easily oversimplify their relationship by saying that all of his trainee-term he was told that other idols (especially outside of his company) were not friends, but competition. He did feel that way for such a long stretch of time.  In 2011 a year after his term as a trainee he  and a fellow trainee JinWoo went to Japan to attend a few classes with a former idol choreographer.         As circumstance had it he had run into SHINee, an idol group he was told he would one day compete with. Part of him wanted to be completely brusque towards the three out of five of them he’d run into. However it was a formal setting and he did not want to ruffle any feathers. His personality in his head would always be a lot more cruel than the one he actually displayed. JinWoo had urged them not to bother them but he decided to do it anyway; upon introducing himself as a YG Trainee the others were immediately friendly and recognized him as a peer. He was especially jealous of SHINee’s TaeMin who was a year younger than him yet he was three years ahead of him. JinWoo later joined the three SHINee members and they all exchanged numbers, from then on? it’s pretty much history.         Today it was almost six years since that day they had met each other. He’d gotten to know some of them very well, others not as well. TaeMin was probably the one closest with him at this point. You wouldn’t find this in any media captures though, the two were always hanging out in private scapes rather than public. Both of them preferring the privacy of a real friendship unaffected by limelight. Oh, that’s right, I said you needed to understand how they began to understand how they’re acting now.         It was nearly 2am on a Monday morning as the two watched bootleg American cartoons on the hushed television in TaeMin’s parents house. They were both pretty silent until SeungHoon turned to the sloppy haired other and spoke in the most even tone possible— “I really, want fried chicken, but I really, really, really don’t want to put any pants on.”

He speaks in formal tones and appropriate language but other time’s it seems as if he’s completely flipped a switch and has become-- himself. He’d previously met MinHo on many occasions throughout his time being friends with TaeMin. However the two had not exactly become the closest of friends.        However that did not stop him from attempting to embarrass himself once more around the other. He started running pretty much full speed in the most maladroit fashion. His palms hit the male’s shoulders ( they’re about the same height, any difference would occur based on show height at this point. ) he uses them to launch himself pretty much over the taller boy. As if like a full standing game of leapfrog.       It goes terribly wrong. It was equivocate which action caused this leap to go so terribly wrong but to say the least he ends up completely knocking both of them down. There’s a moment of reprehensible silence between the two as both seem to process for a brief moment the fact that SeungHoon had literally just attempted to leap over someone his same height head; without any help. He begins to yell in a completely uneven tone, his voice quite vociferous through the otherwise quiet setting.       “ TAEMIN DARED ME TO DO IT? “

He had to text TaeMin a quick picture of the kid he saw wandering around a 24/hr supermarket to make sure he had the right person before approaching so brazenly. When TaeMin replied with “I think so, why are you out so late?” that was que for SeungHoon to move in and introduce himself.        He did not exactly want to be one of those idols who was condescending towards the other ones, he wanted to know everyone. He felt like all of them shared a common goal and dream and therefore they could all get along-- to an extent just based on those grounds. It’s nice to have support within the same industry. So to make his approach he lowered his head and slowly moved his cart toward the others, only to bump into the side of it. He was rather cheery and presented a huge eye smile. Both eyes folding into small crescent moons he apologized for bumping the cart. “Ah, I’m sorry! I didn’t actually mean to bump into the cart that hard. I just meant to lightly tap it. “ He appears somber for a brief moment before he stands up straight- his arms moving off of the bar of the cart as he bows his head slightly to the other. “I’m SeungHoon, you’re- Taeyong, right?” His head tilts slightly as if to incline to the question he’s asking, it’s an odd habit; though it was late and it could not be held against him to behave like a normal adult.       “I’m SeungHoon, I’m from YG’s winner if you haven’t heard of me.. It’s very nice to meet you! What brings you out to the market so late at night, stocking up on good snacks?” He makes a rather sly grin towards the other before he whispers “or are you stocking up on.. “ he looks left, he looks right, “the best junk-food they have to offer?”

@kmhbn​​ 님이 포스트를 좋아합니다. “nothing new, but like for a starter?”        Two kindred souls, HanBin and SeungHoon were. It was not a surprise to anyone inside of the YG building to see either one of them up at late hours of the night in a practice room or a studio room; always for different reasons. HanBin so that he may carry his group into their next album with well thought out choreography and lyrics. (SeungHoon’s reason being drastically different from HanBin’s) SeungHoon may not be Winner’s leader so he will never fully understand the pressure that is put on the leader of the group to carry and connect the others with music and choreography. He had witnessed Mino go through the same turmoil of being Leader during Win: Who is next?; just briefly understanding.         As for HanBin may never fully understand why SeungHoon stays up in late hours of the night. SeungHoon always had a different reason for staying up so late recently. He felt at fault for the departure of his younger brother (in a sense) TaeHyun. He feels remorse that TaeHyun did not come to him and discuss what was going on before it all went down. He remembers TaeHyun packing and saying he was going out of town for a little bit. It made him somber to think that it was their last interaction. Shortly after their last interaction there was joint meeting between WINNER staff and YG staff to inform them that TaeHyun would not be going on with them. The pain that divulged only when he moved his arms and legs in a passionate form in a room where the music was oh too loud.          He took a quick break from his little world to venture out into the halls. It was always fun to wander around the building at night because of the lowly lit hallways and the soft play of the radio over the intercom.The trainee’s had left out around 11pm, most of the staffer’s were out far before that besides choreographers and vocal coaches who left around the same time. BigBang nor previous 2ne1 members were found anywhere either.  He was aware HanBin was still here, which is why he left his dance practice room to venture the halls before going to see if the younger was okay. He had a draw-string backpack sunken over his shoulder.         Finally approaching the studio room door that was still lit under the door, he knocked softly before entering the room. “ Hey, Kiddo!” He was well aware that HanBin was not a child anymore, however he would forever think of all of iKON, except for maybe JunHoe who scared him a little, as kids. “ Are you doing okay? Have you stopped to rehydrate or eat a snack in the last- Iunno, 3 hours?” he stifles a laugh. 

 @bonappo​ 님이 포스트를 좋아합니다. “nothing new, but like for a starter?”        Like most of the population of male idols he was a big fan of girl groups. Especially for their choreography which he pretty much had memorized down to a pattern at several points in his life in order to practice moves that were seen as “too effeminate.” As a lover of dance and one who felt he could accurately express himself with it; he saw no dance moves as “too effeminate.” So he was familiar with her before approaching her—  at least by reputation. He was hoping she knew who he was too, what an experience that would be? He deemed himself pretty popular to say the least. That, however could just be the small amount of ego he held.         He did not want to flabbergast her so he was very furtive when he snuck up to hear. A small finger tap to the back of her shoulder is instigated and he is cautious not to disrupt the natural balance in the atmosphere of the Library when he does so. He normally comes to this Library however he always attempts to hide his best when he is here.         When she turns to him he immediately perks up in the biggest eye smile one could possibly imagine. His voice soft and obviously muffled at least slightly by the mask he wears when he says “hello.” Upon realising it’s causing his voice to sound stuffy he peels the mask down under his chin and introduces himself properly. “Sorry to bother you!” he speaks quietly but it’s obviously with excitement. “I’m Lee Seung Hoon, of yg’s winner. I just wanted to introduce myself. I often hide out at this Library on our days off of practice. I assume I’ll see a lot of you if you find out it’s a great place to hide.” He gives a slight and respectful bow, despite being older than her in age.
