( yu jimin. female. she/her. ) did you see the new tenant on the 94th floor, on the SEA side of the building? GWYNEIRA JEON is a 23 year old PRIMA BALLERINA & SHAREHOLDER AT JEON PHARMACEUTICALS, originally hailing from SWANSEA, WALES. with a net worth of ₩90B, it’s no wonder they secured an apartment at noeul gardens! being so WHIMSICAL is probably what made them so notable, but if they aren’t careful, garden party will pick up on how OBSESSIVE they are. if that dreaded magazine ever finds out that HER PROFESSIONAL HIATUS WAS THE RESULT OF DRUG OVERDOSE, NOT AN INJURY, the gossip will write itself...
hello hello it’s eden ( she/her, 20+, aest ) and i’m here to introduce my beloved, gwyneira ! some of you may or may not recognise her from elsewhere but she’s is here at gardenhq as you’re resident manic swan queen; a slightly unstable, guilt-ridden and obsessively perfectionistic principal ballerina for the korean national ballet. she can be quite the wholesome sweetheart if not for the fact that she’s a little self-interested, oblivious and unknowingly flaunts her rich-privilege ( trust fund baby ! ) + she is naively unaware of the meaning of self-sufficiency. her little secret is that her hiatus from the stage since about a year ago was not because she’d broken her leg during a fateful performance, but rather she’d suffered from an episode of a drug overdose.
if you’d like to plot with her feel free to reach out to me in dms or give this post a like and i can come your way! below the cut you can find a not-very-brief summary of her backstory.
𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐆𝐖𝐘𝐍𝐄𝐈𝐑𝐀 𝐄𝐔𝐍𝐇𝐀 𝐉𝐄𝐎𝐍
playing ; swan lake op. 20, act II, no. 10
with prominence upon ; girlhood as godhood, the ophelia complex, a tortured artist’s thirst for perfection — to defy mortal limits until there is none, insomnia, paranoia and the fine line between nightmares and dreams where humans are as much monsters as their inner demons, desperation in the face of pain, dependency as a fatal flaw, an artist’s obsession, martyrdom vs. victimhood, the fall from mutiny to glory, firebirds and drowning girls, wings as metaphorical chains, music box ballerinas — dressed in swan feathers and starlight, a yearning for acceptance and control, dance as a language of expression, as the dichotomy between power and delicacy — a battle of grace between black and white swan.
gwyneira eunha jeon is born on christmas eve in 1998 in swansea, wales — the day before her mother passes away due to complications of her birth. eira was born premature, with several medical issues that severely effected her heart and was to undergo various surgeries... until she seemed miraculously cured the moment her mother died. it caused a bit of a stir to her rather devout family; her grandparents believed it was some prodigious act of god whilst her father puts his faith in it being her mother’s sacrifice. eira, over the years, has begun to believe that she just has a very attentive guardian angel watching over her.
as a jeon, she the youngest of one of south korea’s most influential families. her father’s side of family has, for many generations, held a stake in south korea’s medical industry, with jeon pharmaceuticals owning many private hospitals and a biotech company are under their name. currently, as eira’s networth lies in high billions of won, it is largely due to passive income as a named shareholder in her father’s company though she has little to do with it at all as it’s rather corrupt and she’s always been shielded from it by her father and brothers.
her mother, on the other hand, was a former prima ballerina and at time of death, was the leading artistic director of wale’s national ballet company.
following her mother’s footsteps, as her father had always wanted of her, eira fell into the life of dance very early on. perhaps it was her mother’s blood that made her a prodigy or maybe it was the fact that eira felt she owed that much to her mother, to live up to her name because she’d taken her life.
in any case, by the time she was sixteen she had already made a name for herself in the ballet industry, training first in seoul, then switzerland, russia and paris and then again in korea where she would sky-rocket to acclaim. she was accepted into the korean national ballet as a teenager and by the time she was eighteen, she had become their youngest principal dancer; a feat even her mother had not achieved. this garnered her some level of media attention and adoration in the artistic community, hailing her the shining star of south korea’s classical stage.
by this time she’d fallen into her obsession with dance as an escape, trapping herself in a bubble that consisted only of ballet and nothing else. overtime she’d allowed her pressure for perfectionism to consumer her whole, to the point where paranoia began to sink in and hallucinations from lack of sleep and insomnia detached her from both reality and the people around her. she was rewarded for this, by an international acclaim of her talents and dedication to her art.
she had accumulated a considerable fanbase by this time and to cope with her mental decline and the pressure of the media’s attention — both because of her enchanting talents on stage, able to captivate any audience, but also because of her family’s affluence – gwyneira turned to substance abuse, allowing her to forget and forgo her issues if only for small amounts of time. she traded all that was left of her self-control and sanity for small amounts of happiness in the form of tranquillisers and hallucinogens.
during the last act of her swan lake performance a little over a year ago, her drug use went too far out of hand. she’d completed a brilliant performance by the end of the show, one that would go down in history as possibly her greatest yet, but when the curtain was drawn she’d immediately collapsed and lost consciousness.
she was comatose for two days before waking up in the hospital. her father had later used his connections to push everything that happened under the rug, covering her incident by saying she’d physically injured herself and had to take a hiatus from dance, which keep her name clean in the media. her ballet company, in conversation with her family, allowed her to stay in her position as long as completed a year of rehabilitation and an additional eight months of psychotherapy to allow her to continue dancing as a prima ballerina and principal dancer.
this brings us to the present day when eira’s just returned from rehab which she’d covered as an extensive retreat in a foreign country for physiotherapy purposes (as people believe she’d broken her leg). rather than immediately returning to the seoul that haunts her nightmares and where rumours about her a rife, she is now spending some downtime at her dad’s old apartment in noeul gardens, busan, whilst she attends psychotherapy there and returns to dance practice, having deferred for a season to the busan ballet company for training. though eira is still a little away from returning to the stage with her old company, south korea’s high society and the classical art enthusiasts are all reeling from the return of their beloved swan queen.

hiiii i’m lia (they/them, 21+) & i’m here to introduce 75th floor (sea side) resident singer-songwriter SON HWIYEON, who is far better known by her stage name wooyeon and her one (1) pop song called “lipgloss” that went internationally viral years n years ago and kind of became a meme ( think like rebecca black’s “friday” and crj’s “call me maybe” 😭 )
her secret is that she was in a secret relationship with the daughter of her previous recording label’s ceo & is now plagued w/ imposter syndrome bc of it ! she basically went like Wait , is favoritism the only reason i keep getting green-lit for albums....and freaked out, so she broke off the rs and parted ways with the label, and is now with a new label & making new music. unfortunately it’s been a year now and the syndrome still persists 🤕 bonk
her links will be above when i’m done with them, but for now there’s bullet points & plot ideas below the cut ! if you like this, i’ll msg u for possible plots, but im v chill we can just figure out a starter and see where chemistry goes if you’d prefer <3 thank u sm for reading this far already !!
profile
son hwiyeon, stage name wooyeon
23 yrs old (‘99)
hails from goseong-gun, south korea, where her mother & father settled in their youths (their own parents didn’t approve of their relationship lol). her mother had plans to move back to the city someday or possibly even travel somewhere else in the world, but then baby hwiyeon came into the picture and money just became too tight, so they stayed there all throughout her childhood
agender, doesn’t mind whatever pronouns people use for her but really doesnt have the energy to explain Her Experience Of Gender to everyone she meets unless they already #GetIt yk? so she defaults to she/her, but in her brain her pronouns are just noises tbh
in writing, i don’t mind whatever pronouns you use to refer to her either!
background
heavily inspired by miley cyrus’s character in that black mirror ep rachel, jack, and ashley too
was an unplanned pregnancy that stopped her mother from following her dreams into stardom & her mother never stopped reminding her of that ! which led to.......deep seated issues abt wanting to be the perfect “”daughter”” to make her mother’s sacrifice Worth It and it consuming her identity and it now bleeding into her frenetic work ethic and slowly corroding her from the inside and causing her to be both resentful and guilty for being resentful and resentful for being guilty for being--- u get it .
genuinely can’t remember if music was something she always liked and wanted to do, bc all of her formative years were p heavily influenced by her parents’ ambitions
they used to arrange yearly trips to one of the big cities, specifically when talent companies would hold auditions ! to her mother’s Great Consternation, hwiyeon never had the right personality to be scouted for an idol group, despite all the online classes and workshops she’d put her through to get her image down lmao
missed out on some fun typical teenager activities but tried not to complain bc her parents spent so much money on them and they take so much time right.....so she’d go, but over time she started getting all ( crumples paper ball and screams into it ) about it, but god knows she couldnt tell her parents that either!! eventually her teachers noticed her getting Tense and one of them was like Hey (nervously) Why don’t u try writing ur feelings down instead of snapping at other kids ?
it was like magic!! started filling up journals with furious scribbling. she’d start sharing them with her teachers during warmups, but the really angry ones, she’d keep until she had a day off to go down to the beach and scream it to the ocean . healthy coping <3
one of her teachers happened to have connections with a talent agency and referred her there bc ~potential~. on one hand, yay! but they started having to travel even Longer distances for auditions and her mother got even more particular about dolling her up and she started having to worry about demos and headshots and-------
so you are 17 yrs old and full of spite. you were going to grab lunch with this one girl u really like, but then your mom says No, u have an audition to practice and it’s that weekend so u won’t be home anyway. what do you do ?
she says Okay :). but she puts together the worlds most heated and hateful song about how long she takes to get ready before every audition and especially the annoying ass lipgloss she has to put on and she sings it at the audition that weekend and feels very gleeful about her parents’ horrified faces in the crowd
but guess what??? the manager fuckin loves it. they sign her on and suddenly its a whole whirlwind of changes and hwiyeon is mortified by this mf song but her parents are so happy. they’re ecstatic. and isnt that what she owes them?
over the next several months she’s meticulously groomed for her very own popstar debut. they make her stupid demo about the stupid lipgloss into a stupid song, and then they film a stupid video and give her a different name and release it.
it’s mediocre at best. then a commercial picks it up and somewhere across the globe, the right Internet User finds the commercial video, goes Lmao what is this song, finds her video, happens to share it.......and before long, it starts going viral . her manager and her parents r rejoicing but she is sitting there like @#*$&#$#&@&@#&&$
career
atm i’d say her “fame” is like....she got a lot of money from the initial popularity and it has carried her subsequent releases enough that she’s pretty cushy now. but in terms of recognizability, i think people are more likely to either remember the song but not her, or recognize her more likely for the lipgloss video as wooyeon rather than hwiyeon
after the song took off, the company worked with her to release an album just after her 18th bday. w/ the international “success” of lipgloss, they targeted international platforms too and were p successful too, though ofc not to the degree as lipgloss
released a 2nd album when she was 19, then a 3rd at 21, all with songs produced and approved by the company ofc. got involved with the ceo’s daughter around the time the 3rd one was being planned and it helped her get through having to sing those cringey songs tbh
she’s been on a small ✨tour✨ but again v teenager-oriented, like early 1d concerts
she’s not clueless, she knew nothing they were releasing was getting as popular as lipgloss ever was -- even when the company tried some tiktok tactics to get her newer songs to go viral again. honestly, she doesn’t know why they kept her around after the second album was a relative Flop, but....in hindsight now, she wonders if her having that relationship was the only reason she got further into her career and not her actual voice 🤕 like....she knows her releases were mid. but she wasn’t, by technique, a bad SINGER .........
so she left that recording label last year n signed with a new one, then released her fourth album earlier this year, aka her first foray into alt rock/grunge!! and this time she used only songs she had written. my sound inspo for it is miley cyrus’s plastic hearts & willow’s lately i feel everything albums !
it got mixed reception, mostly bc her established fanbase didnt know what to do with it and she didn’t have enough reach in the new genre to make it far lol. received a lot of comments from concerned and angry parents about her “turning rogue and wild and [fill in the disappointed blank here]” including her own!
but listen at this point she’s so tired of performing for literally everyone she knows!!! she doesn’t want to be just known as “the one who sang that lipgloss meme song” anymore!!!! she does really love music and she’s going to reclaim it for herself dammit!!!! this is her first step to that!!!
recently moved to noeul gardens to be closer to her new label and currently minding her own business. mostly it’s writing more songs but she’s kinda interested in videography too, kinda interested in cross stitching, kinda wants to learn how to ice skate, kinda wants to start indexing seashells...really who knows, her options are endless now ! even if her voicemail’s full of her parents’ angry calls and tabloids are still running headlines about her being one of the industry’s Lost Causes . hey, out of sight out of mind <3
plot material
god i’m sorry this is already getting so long but i’m hoping these can make coming up with plots easier T_T
loveeeees food, loves trying new food, loves finding out what food she has allergies to the hard way
v extroverted so if your muse needs help getting out of their shell, she’d b perfect for that
when she’s tired she prefers to spend it alone bc “if im not wild crazy witty fun who the hell’s gna want to hang out” but it’d be nice if someone can show her they dont need to do anything super crazy to have an enjoyable time 😭
v v passionate about music and writing!! has access to a recording studio and loves messing around aimlessly with tracks, so if anyone’s interested in music too n would need access to one....hit her up
sense of boundaries are kinda whacked and is v casual about helping people out even if they’re strangers, so if your muse is stranded someplace one night or something, she’d randomly front a cab fare for them like “and if u need me to ride with you to make sure u dont get murdered lmk.” if you’re friends she will probably roll her eyes as she’s bailing u out but it’s like . Affectionately
i’d love for her to have some lgbt+ friends plz!! she’s used to keeping most of her love interests private but having someone to text about the hot lady who said 1 word to her on the street today would be nice right....in return she will be ur best and loudest hypeman ever
she’s often walking around the marina for inspo and for downtime in general so if anyone wants to go out and get street food and rate yachts as they stroll down .....
someone she can go out to karaoke and scream-sing with
industry enemies/rivals!! fellow musicians who think her success was simply given to her? someone she beat out at that audition ages ago? someone who was supposed to get a song that she got instead? etc etc!
mutual secret knowers! which could go in any direction, but for her part, she’s more concerned about keeping hers to protect her ex’s identity
smth smth fake dating . please. would like it to remain platonic, unless your muse is nb / fem presenting and smth shifts later and we plot it out more in depth (though i think that’d still be a p distant thing), but i’d love a dynamic where they’re both forced into this arrangement for personal reasons for both of them yet they end up actually getting p close!!
conversely someone she’s linked in a scandal with that has absolutely no truth to it and they both resent, but the media will Not leave it aloneee
someone who’s got a song written for them in her latest album
anything else our evil brains can come up with tgt <3
once again i am so sorry this got this long, if you got this far thank you and ily
uhm hey. this is cherry!! i’m so excited to rp with you guys. this rp came at the perfect time because i was watching drama shamelessly and just finished remarriage and desire and i really wanted a character kind of based off the drama but not really?? jiyeon here takes bits of a bunch of different plots that go on in the show. i def recommend it since its only 8 episodes BUT ANYWAY, i’ll put some links down there to peruse and put some stuff about jiyeon under the cut. i can’t wait to plot and write with you all!!
oldest child born to cha junhwa and choi aeran.
parents were an arranged marriage. aeran learned to love junhwa but he was always cheating on her and treating her poorly. despite this, she remained the perfect "trophy wife", doing whatever she needed to do to care for and protect her family, even lying.
her dad created a cyber security firm called soteria that has contracts with the korean government, as well as samsung and hyundai. while a good deal of his fortune was obtained through hard work, most of it in the last ten years has been through nefarious means, whether that be on stepping on the necks of smaller businesses, market manipulation, unfair contracts, etc.
anyway about jiyeon. she did first and secondary school at private international schools in korea and then was at st paul's boarding school in new hampshire from grades 9-12.
came back to korea to be with her family and do nothing honestly. she has the marks and intelligence to go to school for whatever she wanted but just….didn't want to?? she had spent so many years toiling away to make amazing marks and doesn't want to keep doing it, especially if her dad is going to bully her into a field she doesn't like.
in 2021, her mother found out just how shady junhwa was and how many lives he ruined just for money and couldn't take it anymore. jiyeon found her mother's body after she didn't answer her phone.
it's affected jiyeon a lot and she's still not doing well.
girlie is naive and kind and her mother's suicide has made it so she wants to fix everyone and everything.
she has major control issues now.
miss jiyeon can seem very flighty and ditzy but it's because she doesn't want to burden anyone with her emotions and issues.
she is a very dedicated dog mom.
she is || this close to losing her shit.
I'm probably forgetting a lot but this is basically her backstory so far.
hey, hey! i’m really excited to be here with seo jaerim, an identity thief posing as kang taejoon, a trust fund baby who is currently out of the country! yes, he’s a criminal, but he’s pretty freakin’ good at it. it’s probably due to the fact that he’s a little bit of a sociopath but he’ll tell you it’s because he looks the part—that he looks fabulous in a suit (also true). i’ll leave more information about him down below, as well as some wanted connections to kick the ball rolling. if you’d like to plot, like this post and i’ll drop you a message!
*▵▰♔ cha eunwoo. cis male. he/him. did you see the new tenant on the 75th floor, on the SEA side of the building? KANG TAEJOON (SEO JAERIM) is a 25 year old GRADUATE STUDENT & BUSINESSMAN (IDENTITY THIEF), originally hailing from SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA (DAEGU, SOUTH KOREA). with a net worth of 8B₩ (4.5M₩), it’s no wonder they secured an apartment at noeul gardens! being so CHARISMATIC is probably what made them so notable, but if they aren’t careful, garden party will pick up on how CONNIVING they are. if that dreaded magazine ever finds out that THEY’VE STOLEN THE IDENTITY OF A TRUST FUND BABY WHO IS OUT OF THE COUNTRY, the gossip will write itself…
BACKGROUND:
broke kid (with a measly 4.5M₩ in savings, of which he hasn’t touched since he’s gotten access to kang taejoon’s trust fund) without any dreams or aspirations in life
kind of like your typical genius who is too smart for his own good, his intellect being the cause of his downfall
all he really wants is to have fun, very “here for a good time, not a long time” and what better way to achieve that than to be filthy rich?
getting a good job was not an option for a college dropout (college was too boring for him) so he resorted to "borrowing” the identity of someone who has everything he deems necessary for a fun life
kang taejoon was the perfect target—dumb spoilt brat wasting away at clubs and casinos overseas, too drunk to even realise his bank account had gotten compromised
definitely helps that the real taejoon is currently studying in the US for the past couple of years, which explains why people don’t really know him (though it’s likely his family isn’t too proud of him and would rather he not appear in public too)
he doesn’t know taejoon personally, he was just sitting at the table next to him at some bar in itaewon, where he heard him bragging about his wealth to a girl he was trying to take home so jaerim stole his phone and wallet (easy, considering how he was practically staring down the girl’s shirt) and gained access to everything that dumbass owns (also did his fair share of research after, made easier with access to his phone)
it has been a couple of months since jaerim started living as taejoon, which was around the time he moved into noeul gardens
like taejoon, he claims to be a graduate student in business analytics, interested in starting up his own business, of which he is seeking investments for
currently in talks with some investors about some new age club-cum-casino type of establishment (inspiration taken from the og kang taejoon himself lol) and if he pulls it off, he could very well triple in net worth or land himself in jail and have his own tinder swindler type of documentary—go big or go home, yeah?
PERSONALITY:
seo jaerim likes to think that he’s the smarter, funnier (and better looking) version of kang taejoon
the real taejoon is much like a wastrel fratboy who only got this far in life because his grandfather left him a hefty trust fund
he’s convinced he’s making better use of taejoon’s money than taejoon ever will, which would relieve his guilt, if he even had any to begin with (unfortunately, he feels no remorse over what he’s doing)
can be a bit of a narcissist; he’s pretty vain and highly aware of how intelligent he is, doesn’t help that he thinks he’s better than the real taejoon lol
every move he makes is careful and calculated, though he portrays a very relaxed, almost even nonchalant attitude on the outside
enjoys flirting and playing with people’s feelings, even better if he can tell they’re falling for him
sociable but private, hardly reveals anything personal about himself (for obvious reasons, that and he does not open up to people easily); is great fun at parties though
he’s living very hedonistically as taejoon, has absolutely no restrain over how he spends his money; eating, drinking and dressing in only the finest (though there are days you would catch him ordering in fast food or cheap delivery when he gets tired of rich people food)
basically, he makes the perfect kang taejoon, the kang taejoon the kang family would’ve wanted him to be—smart, eloquent, and an outstanding bachelor, except none of this is real
WANTED CONNECTIONS:
someone that knew the real taejoon before, maybe they were childhood friends of some sort, and notices a difference?
or someone that knew him as jaerim and finds him oddly familiar, though they can’t make out why
enemies to lovers or enemy with benefits, two people who absolutely do not get along but cannot ignore the sexual tension between them
a potential investor for that business idea he has aka a potential scam victim… calling for naive muses lol
he knows your secret and has some sort of hold over you, probably blackmails you into doing whatever he wants
or both of you know each other’s secrets and made a deal to keep mum for mutual benefits
you’re famous and you have a fling with him, which is problematic since he shouldn’t be catching the eye of the paparazzi (secret fling gone wrong maybe?)
neighbour from hell; either he is or your muse is, or both (give me petty quarrels and pranks to get back at each other)
hi & hello! i’m blue ( 21+, s/h ) & this is my angry white man coded yeong sieon, better known as cece, designer & owner of luxury athleisure label vital needs! she’s moved from new york & based in busan for her business, currently living on the 55th floor & cityside of noeul gardens. i’ve only got her about here, but below the cut is a tldr & some plot ideas ♡ as always, hit the like to plot!
tldr
born in seoul & quickly whisked away to be raised in new york, cece’s the second daughter of a massive frozen foods conglomerate ( based off ottogi! )
ur local chaebol daughter success story, she dropped out of nyu to start a business on her own... with a small gift of a few billion ₩, of course
she’s the main designer for her label, VITAL NEEDS, which provides athleisure that’s luxurious, semi-functional, & most importantly, cute as hell
cece was put on god’s good earth to dress hot girls & hit on them i’m afraid
her current net worth is based only on her label, as she’s unfortunately been given the tiniest share of inheritance possible out of all her siblings
why? because she’s terribly behaved & almost an embarrassment to the family. dropping out of college aside, cece’s got anger issues like no other & a tendency to just throw money at whoever she beat up until they go away. no handle on social etiquette at all
starting a business so far off from their family’s image doesn’t really help, so it’s safe to say she’s all but gotten disinherited ( business wise, but it’s not like she talks to either parent that much ). at least, until she’ll be important for the family again ( marriage potential or something else? )
so she came back to sk but purposely based her label in busan instead of seoul as a little middle finger to her granddad... who’s also the one who gave her the money to start a label so uh. rich people ironies <3
chose a floor near the communal area because she was lazy & thought it’d be convenient. if u live nearby you’ll hear her banging around at 4ams
gotta emphasise the ego/anger issues. literally a hair trigger kinda thing, she’ll come at u with no warning if u piss her off. has & does not regret sending people to the hospital
she originally was gonna be based off blair waldorf but after workshopping her she’s more chuck bass 💀 so she’s angry, egoistic, entitled, got mad commitment issues... her character arc’s coming 💖
plots
the cousin. the one she’s always compared to, & kind of wants to strangle
trophy gf/bf of the week, she’ll spoil u rotten but only for a moment
ur legs are amazing so she’s trying to get u to model for her
fashion industry/models she’s worked with or is working with now
bar fight plot please
or someone patching her up after the bar fight
ur scared of her & she thinks it’s hilarious
u think she needs to be taken down a peg!! take her down!!
workout buddies ( but u have to wear her clothes )
nepo babes club?? fellow rich heirs & heiresses except she’s not an heiress
the tempted trio of shitty rich kids
these are all just brief lil ideas! hmu & we can brainstorm & expand them to fit hehe

hey y'all :~) i'm peyton [s/t, est, 20+] and i am here with an older, revised character of mine, hwang daesung... ummm tl/dr is that he's a pretty famous idol on the verge of either (a) emerging as a stable, irrefutably respected artist and (b) fucking it all up but i will get into that below! when i get them finished, his DOSSIER, CONNECTIONS, CAREER OVERVIEW & PINTEREST will be linked here. when that will be is a mystery to us both...
b/g /// tw for mentions of drug usage/addiction and disordered eating, will also mark the exact spots
only child, born into a lower middle class family -- parents used to talk about giving him a sibling, but later said they already had everything they could need/want with daesung :~) he was super loved, super doted on for the first ~12 years of his life
dad was a club owner/sound engineer (with a lame, not super worth mentioning past in a band), so daesung was super exposed to music in his adolescence, esp. rock music -> naturally started dreaming abt becoming a rockstar
dad supported this aspiration, mom not so much??? she watched her husband aspire and fall short of his dreams, didn't really want daesung wasting time doing the same shit which she didn't hesitate to tell him in softer terms, but daesung is nothing if not stubborn
dad suddenly passed away in 2008, which left the family in a rough spot mentally and financially considering daesung's mom is a hairdresser who at that time still hadn't been able to open her own salon ^^ rather than seeking comfort in each other, daesung & his mom drifted apart and never fully got back to where they were before
this is sorta where daesung's escapist tendencies started??? always looking for a distraction, went through a period where he got into many many many fights and was doing drastic things for attention but eventually returned to using music as an outlet -- got into other genres, started learning how to dance
ended up signing to GOLDEN T in 2013, was pretty much immediately thrown into a competition show that he wasn't ready for and was torn to shreds by viewers/judges alike... still ended up debuting 'cause he learned to use humor to cope and turns out people might like you if you're half cute and can make them laugh!
debuted with CAERUS in 2014. target of a lot of criticism and debate for the first couple years of his career, from "does he deserve his spot in the group?" to "he's holding the others back" but he worked extremely hard to improve and get to where he needed to be ^^ eventually grew on the public :~)
TW DISORDERED EATING that said, being a target did fuck with his mentality a lot and certain comments abt his appearance mixed with his own insecurities led to him binging / purging on and off for about a year and a half. did seek help and recovered but still has a weird rs with food because of it, doesn't like to eat in public and won't go on reality shows that make a big deal out of meals END TW
over the course of 2016 to 2021, the public's opinion of him continued to improve and he became a loved entertainment figure, both within his group and as an individual -- from writing/producing/composing to appearing on variety shows and cfs, many many many people came to know his face
group's rising popularity + his personal royalties meant more money to blow, access to exclusive spaces and easier attainment of illegal substances, which resulted in a few things: (1) he became a hoarder (2) he became a party animal and (3) he learned to push his limits
has had many close calls with paparazzi and his impulsive behaviors, from hooking up with fans to buying shit from people in too-public places but tbh luck is on his side and nothing super bad has happened just yet
which brings us to where we are now -- as of sep. 2022, daesung is on an indefinite hiatus forced by upper management BECAUSE of a close call. what happened? don't worry about it... just know that his company doesn't really like him too much right now and he's not sure what to do about it
misc
considered a "stan attractor" within his group, very vibrant personality that grabs attention. typically the first member new fans get to know, but doesn't rly stay anyone's favorite
from debut until now, he's consistently appeared on variety shows. used to beg for a chance to appear and now he's in high demand but no longer really ~loves~ having to have this loud and fun personality turned on all the time??? idk he has a love/hate rs with his public image and career path
TW ADDICTION was a set cast member on 2 days 1 night from sep 2019 to may 2022, ended up getting fired from ("parting ways with") the team because multiple people within the cast & production team were catching on to his drug problem and tried to offer help, which he refused/denied needing -- tension increased and ultimately it was decided that the best option for everybody was to let him go :~) claims that he DECIDED to leave to focus on his group activities... which he then shortly went on hiatus from LMFAOOO END TW
has very eclectic interests, from skateboarding & thrifting to high fashion, history & circus clowns -- used to be a very interesting & fun person to be around, but hasn't been particularly passionate about the things he used to love recently. what tf is going on with him?
pers
open, warm, unjudging -- daesung has experienced being an outcast, doesn't want anyone else to feel that way so he's the type of guy who can & will talk to anyone. known to be a very well-liked person among staff and newer idols because he doesn't speak to anybody as if they're beneath him and is quick to offer a helping hand
however, he does have a way of seeming unattainable/unreachable? because while he's so friendly in person, he doesn't often answer texts/calls and whilst he seems so open and honest, a lot of ppl find that they actually don't know him super well
the type of person to have many friends, but no #besties
has a hard time differentiating reality from fantasy in a way, no longer knows how to shut his public persona off and just be himself. mixed the two for so long that his sense of self has deteriorated
fun to be with when you manage to reach him. always knows the best place to go or the best thing to do, paints himself as this super exciting person with a super vibrant life and then he goes home and crashes, can't move from his couch for 3 days

LILITH KWON is a 26 year old MODEL AND MAKE-UP ARTIST, originally hailing from LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. with a net worth of ₩6.2B, it’s no wonder they secured an apartment at noeul gardens! being so MOTIVATED is probably what made them so notable, but if they aren’t careful, garden party will pick up on how UPROARIOUS they are. if that dreaded magazine ever finds out that THEY BRIDED THE RIGHT PEOPLE SO THAT THEIR ARREST RECORD WOULD DISAPPEAR, the gossip will write itself…
hi friends!!! i’m bunny. they/them. cst & 21+! i’ll mostly be around later in the night due to working from 1pm-9:30! here is my hot mess express lilith aka lil! if you want plots feel free to hmu i am down for mostly anything! i’ll try to add some most wanted connections for lil under the cut too! so excited to write with you all! :) ( have been out of tumblr rp for so long i forgot how to make the text small :’) )
Lilith was born Kwon Areum on a cool fall day in middle of October, a day before Halloween. Lilith grew up with their parents and a older bother, Doyoung.
Being the youngest and the only girl in the family, Lilith had a lot weighing on them due to their fathers strict parenting and him wanting Lilith to get the best education possible. Lilith was enrolled in one of the best private schools on the west coast, an all girl’s boarding school not too far from where Lilith grew up in LA. Needless to say, Lilith hated it. They tried real hard to make their parents happy, but Lilith had always been a bit rebellious, which was what landed them in the boarding school in the first place.
Lilith remained at the boarding school until they were fourteen and it was then that their father was offered a job in Korea. Although, Lilith despised the boarding school, they had managed to make close friends that they were able to cause trouble and give the teachers hell with. They were able to find themselves, somewhat coming to terms with their sexuality, but it was until later that Lilith also discovered their gender identity.
The move to Korea was rough, it was much more strict and Lilith found themselves almost beneath a microscope with all eyes on them, waiting for their moment to mess up. I mean, it made sense to most around Lilith. Their family only moved to Korea to take over their family’s technology business which was quite popular and well liked all over several Asian countries. Lilith, still hated that they expected to be ~perfect~.
It was no wonder that as soon as Lilith turned nineteen they were able to make their own decisions. They started getting into modeling, right after leaving home which helped boost Lilith’s platform as a make-up artist. They were able to afford an apartment with a friend they’d met through their modeling agency, and Lilith finally felt like they were becoming their own person. They haven’t spoken much to their family, mostly because their parents don’t agree with Lilith wild lifestyle of partying, drinking, and active drug use, as well as their new identity, as Lilith Kwon. Now they are working as a model for several clothing brands and a make-up artist for numerous idols.
When it comes to personality, Lil is a firecracker. Lil knows how to have fun! Definitely the life of the party. They are as fake as they come. Will smile in your face then stab you in the back.
Lil has gotten into legal trouble a few times. When they’re under the influence they tend to get loud and reckless and cause public disturbances, especially since they were still heavily involved with the party scene.
Really just hurting inside and wants someone see them for who they are and not for who they want Lil to be.
give me friends Lil met modeling, celebs that Lil has worked with.. Party buddies! Fwbs! Exes! Exes! Exes! -- we also love a good frenemies plot!!!
