Background

BB is the youngest of five siblings, three brothers and one sister besides her, all of whom are much older than her, the second youngest is eight years older than her and the oldest is 16 years older, which lead her to grow up sort of alone despite her amount of siblings

The first idol group she ever saw perform was 2ne1 and thought they were so cool and wanted to be just like them

She started dance classes and trying to learn how to sing at home in order to work towards her dream of being an idol. While her parents were wary of the cost and dangers of BB becoming a trainee, they quickly realized nothing was going to stop her determination and allowed her to continue practicing.

She became a Cube entertainment trainee when she was 14 but left a year later after the HyunA and Dawn’s contracts were terminated since she disagreed with the company’s decision and saw it as a sign of their character and how much they actually cared about their employees.

After she left Cube she auditioned, and eventually signed with Leo Entertainment after she had heard about it from some other trainees.

Soo-gook’s mother was a professional ballerina for many years and could not wait to put her own daughter into dance.

 Because of the support and encouragement from her family, Soo-gook eventually was able to study at the Korean National Ballet Academy. 

During her time there she got bullied by many other students, as well as some teachers, for being taller and more muscular than the other girls. She always maintained a love for dance, but the competitive and hostile environment of the academy eventually drove her to leave.

After that she began taking jobs as a backup dancer for different idols, like Chung-Ha and even BTS. Through this work is how she became connected to Kim Lena who eventually asked her to join her new entertainment company

Iseul got her start in the entertainment industry early as a child actor in several movies and TV shows in Korea

She stopped acting professionally when she got into middle school because she wanted to focus more on her studies and get a good education. She still went to SOPA for high school in the acting program, intending to get back into the industry after she graduated.

After acting in several school musicals, and being around many idols and trainees in high school, Iseul decided to learn how to sing and dance and pursue an idol career.

Her parents were supportive of her efforts and together she finally felt prepared enough to audition for companies. After passing several auditions at different companies it came time to decide when to sign to.

She settled on Leo Entertainment after meeting the other trainees, Mijoo and Soo-gook, and the CEO, Lena, and seeing her commitment to the wellbeing of the idols under the company.

Background

Sora grew up in a farming town with her parents and younger brother. While they had enough money to get by, things were always tight and there wasn’t a lot of room for extra expenses.

She started dance lessons when she was very young and discovered hip hop and street dancing on Youtube when she was in middle school and fell in love with it.

Her journey exploring the underground dance scene in her city also led her to find videos of local rappers at rap battles and concerts. She thought their stage presence and clever lyrics were so captivating that she began trying to write her own.

All throughout high school she was writing and producing music in her bedroom and posting it to her Soundcloud. By the time she was graduating she was pretty good at it, and even started helping other kids in her area who had an interest in music by recording and helping them produce their songs.

All of this caught the attention of Kim Lena who asked if she had any interest in being a trainee. Sora had been inspired by other rappers turned idols, like RM, Suga and Bobby, and decided to give it a try.
