KIWI MUSIC NEWS: IDOL PROFILE SERIES !

[+ 500, -15] Wow! Seho is my favorite soloist in CEL ! [+ 243,  - 5] CEL is lucky to have him, aren’t they?! [+ 225,  - 9] I can’t wait to see more of them - fighting!!

PROFILE !

FACECLAIM: jung jaewon (one) CHARACTER NAME: park seho STAGE NAME: seho CHARACTER AGE: 22 COMPANY: CEL POSITION: dean soloist TIME WITH COMPANY: 6 years

POSITIVE: loyal, honest, straightforward NEGATIVE:: violent, bitter, uncouth STRENGTHS: seho loves music since young, being it the only way he had to deal with the years he spent under his brother’s care. he is diligent and a hard worker, spending nights and days in the studio working on new material. he puts his musical career first and his personal life second, focused and determined. seho knows how to write a song that will chart decently. his voice is also good. he doesn’t reach amazing notes, but he holds a tune well, and his voice is pleasant enough to make him fit his solo career. WEAKNESSES: stage presence. seho does well when shooting videos, though most he does is stand there and look pretty. but his live stages have been less than outstanding, and for a while CEL even didn’t make him promote in music shows, spinning this off as him being artistic. but as much as seho wants to stay away from the idol image, he’s still in an idol company, so it’s something he has to work at. another weakness is his attitude: acting whatever way he wants in interviews and variety shows will only get him so far, but for him it’s hard to pretend to be excited or happy. or laugh at a joke he finds stupid. or to just shut the fuck up and not say the stupid shit he’s thinking.

BIOGRAPHY !

triggers: character death 

born and raised in busan, park seho is the middle child of a middle class family. he has an older brother and a younger one: a family of men. he grew up feeling mediocre, never the best but also never the worst. he grew up well though, until his parents died in a car crash.

that left him to the care of his older brother who was already an adult, a man seho despises. he was fifteen at the time and had to start working part time jobs and god knows what else. his relationship with his older brother was terrible, but he made it through for his little brother, who is twelve.

he didn’t do well in school, making music instead. he played around with the guitar and the keyboard. he started making his own songs and uploading them on songcloud, and then making youtube videos. at this time he left home at least three times, living with friends here and there, and then going back because of his younger brother.

this soft of life made seho a mistrustful man, angry, prone to violence. he doesn’t trust people, has huge walls raised high around him. sad and lonely, he pours his anger and pain in his songs.

until one day he is stopped on his way back from his part-time job in a convenience score by a CEL scout who recognized him from the videos. at first he thinks of not even showing up in the company, but ends up going anyway. he gets signed in two months later.

at first they think of putting him in bionic, but seho can’t really follow them in the dancing department. also, he doesn’t get along well with the boys, can’t really work in a team. seho is not made to be in a group, or to be an idol at all. his behavior just doesn’t fit.

ends up debuting as a solo, intense pr training. he now knows how to work in front of the cameras, to smile her and there. but he has been already in some scandals about being rude, impolite in interviews, acting as if he doesn’t give a shit (newsflash: he doesn’t) in showcases. the type of song he does sells, though, so cel is keeping him around. though the leash around his throat is getting tighter and tighter.

KIWI MUSIC NEWS !

[+ 200, -12] Woah, Kwon Jaewon does great work as a ceo, soloist, producer for KWN ! [+ 113,  - 2] We’re lucky to have him, aren’t we?!

PROFILE !

FACECLAIM: kwon jiyong (gdragon) NAME: kwon jaewon AGE: 26 POSITION: producer, ex-member of boygroup vip TIME WITH COMPANY: 13 years (trainee for 5 years, debuted at 18) STRENGTHS:

one of jaewon biggest strengths when it comes to his profession is his creativity. if there are two ways he can go on about something, jaewon is most likely to create a third one. he doesn’t like to do what has been done, and doesn’t stop at challenges - he actually loves being challenged, having to create something new, to try to be a trendsetter. he has his eyes in much bigger prizes and when he writes a song for a group it’s never thinking that this could be a good b-side, but with his eyes on a big hit. inventive, jaewon is always listening to new music, researching new material, keeping himself updated.as irresponsible as he can be and is, once he sets his mind in something he won’t give up. if muse comes to him late at night, people will find him in the workroom at 3am working on a new project and he won’t stop until he found perfection. jaewon is not one to settle for mediocrity, and even if the songs he wrote for CEL weren’t the ones he wanted to be doing, he still put his best on it. and now that he has more freedom on his own label, jaewon is finally being able to put all his potential in his own songs.  writing and producing are the only things he knows he is good at (that and charming people) so he will do his best until he is happy with what he is creating.

WEAKNESSES:

jaewon biggest weakness when it comes to this field is his lack of responsibility. he enjoys having fun - parties, going out, getting drunk, doing drugs, and everything that he considers dull just gets on the way of his creativity or so he believes. jaewon hates having a tight schedule that he has to follow, dislikes deeply having someone ordering him around, which was even worse when he was an idol. now, as the ceo of his own label,, he has more freedom but it’s still a job and his immaturity gets on the way. he has deadlines, meetings, artists to sign and so on, appointments that he is never on time for.  and jaewon knows sometimes he gets away with those things because of his status, but that is not going to last forever. it has been more than once when he arrived at the company hours after he was supposed to, sunglasses to cover his hangover.

now as the ceo jaewon finds himself in a whole new place, even with some associates. he also tends to abuse his position of power - not only because he is a producer, but also a senior in the industry, the ex-member of an important and famous group. he likes to be an ass just because he can be one, to treat people poorly when he is not in the mood, to hit on trainees because he mostly knows they can’t say no to him. jaewon is someone hard to deal with, his obsessions with his status and his narcissism won’t go without consequences for so long.

BIOGRAPHY !

TRIGGERS: drug use - son of small shop owner and a housewife, jaewon had 2 older sisters. they were never rich, his father’s store barely made ends meet most of the time but they made it. his family was always good to him and he grew up in a healthy, loving environment.  - jaewon started getting interested in music at a young age, being influenced by american r&b and hip hop. boy had really little care for school and he started meddling with underground rappers and writing his own lyrics.  - his older sister enrolled him in rapping classes, paying them all by herself. jaewon always had the support of his family in following his dream of becoming an artist. - that very same sister was the one who took him to CEL ent audition in 2003, and at the age of 13 years old kwon jaewon was scouted by the company - training was probably way harder than jaewon ever thought it’d be. his short lived fame around the underground scene made him think of himself as much better than he really was, or that his outstanding audition would at least give him a free pass inside the company. that never happened, though, and a huge part of his teenage years were spent inside the training room, learning how to dance, sing, rap and behave properly. some of these trainings had more results than others, though. - and that was when his dreams of becoming a rapper were shattered. it didn’t matter how hard jaewon tried he always came second to his peers on that matter, though he made it up with charisma and stage presence. it took him a while but his pride had to give in at some point, and he decided to focus on other aspects of idol life - like dancing. - he never really stopped writing his own songs and producing music when he could. cel ent head took interest in his songs, and jaewon started having music writing and producing classes too. that was where he really had a place to shine. - charismatic and eloquent, jaewon had a lot of friends as a trainee. but he was also manipulative, driven, would do anything to achieve his goal of debuting. sort of a bully with the weaker and newer trainees. - after six years of training jaewon debuted under the alias KJ, rapper of group v.i.p. - jaewon caught very little attention when the group debuted, which made him extremely pissed. he didn’t get that much screentime in their debut music video and most fans were flocking to the visuals. he was often last place in popularity polls, but that lack of interest from the fans only lasted until their manager started getting him spots on variety shows.  - his charismatic 4d boyish personality grabbed the attention and the love of the public. jaewon started to be invited for other shows, and his fanbase started to grow faster than expected. on mega’s comeback, he was the center. - as likable as jaewon would look on the screen, his bandmates would probably never agree with that, not after a while. at first they got along well, jaewon charmed his way with them but as he started to become popular, jaewon grew narcissistic, obsessed with his newfound popularity and image. he hated the duties and responsibilities that came with the life of an idol but loved the fame and everything that came with it. “hard to live with” would be the way that most of his group mates would describe him as. though, sure, he did make a few friends, but jaewon is too fickle for them to still be in contact. - as years went by, jaewon grew careless. his lack of responsibility and compromise put him into situations that made his manager have to bend herself backwards to cover his ass. a flirt, he had his share of affairs with girl idols on the downlow, and had extreme luck of not being caught (or, as his manager would say, of her being damn good at her job) - he also had a drug problem that almost got him in a major scandal, that got covered just in time. until this day no one knows that the six months jaewon vanished from promotions with the excuse of “taking care of health problems” were actually spent in a rehab in canada. -  and then, after five years, v.i.p disbanded in 2014. on the articles they said it was a mutual agreement, but everyone knew there was much more to it. none of the members could stand each other anymore. - jaewon never mourned over it though, he had been done with the group for years, and just didn’t leave because the mega CEO had promised him a solo career in case he stayed. his first solo album was released under cel, but as soon as his contract was over he left the company and set up his own independent level - much smaller, but also much more to jaewon’s liking. - his second album coup d’etat was already much different than his first one, heartbreaker, which was still under CEL. jaewon’s sound is much more more experimental, much less pop-ish. his popularity with v.i.p kept him afloat, and his label, KWN, has been growing well, with two more artists sign up. the atmosphere of label is laid back, a company for artists rather than for idols, focusing on the music. - though, ofc, jaewon is to obsessed with fame to let go of the media. he’s still making show appearances here and there. - personality wise jaewon is extroverted and charismatic, charming his way with an easy smile that is as fake as anything he feels. he’s funny in a dry way, sarcastic, but loyal as fuck to the people he likes, though those are very few. likes to have an intimidating image with the trainees, even more so with the male trainees. kind of a hardass with them. he is, however, still hard to deal with when you get too intimate. fickle, complicated, narcissistic to the core, his main concern is himself and he doesn’t see the problem in that.

KIWI MUSIC NEWS !

[+ 200, -12] Woah, Kang Nayoung is my favorite leader and vocal in CEL ! [+ 113,  - 2] Macaroon is lucky to have them, aren’t they?!

PROFILE !

FACECLAIM: kim ahyoung (yura) CHARACTER NAME: kang nayoung STAGE NAME: - CHARACTER AGE: august 24, 1994 COMPANY: CEL ent POSITION: lead vocalist TIME WITH COMPANY: four years POSITIVE: motivated, well spoken, affectionate NEGATIVE: calculated, picky, selfish STRENGTHS:  nayoung’s voice is her biggest strength. a natural talent, even when she was untrained she was pleasant to hear. but years of schooling only polished her talent even more. she has a good vocal range and can sing different styles of music with ease. she is disciplined, so even knowing that she is already really good is not enough to stop her from training and polishing her vocals. nayoung has her mind set in being recognized in macaron for her voice, and to bring attention to her group. focused, as much as she may think of a solo career later in her life, or of a solo debut while in macaron, she keeps these ambitions to herself. macaron is her focus now and she will work hard as hell to make them popular and successful. one of her biggest fears is her plastic surgeries being found out and the scandal of it being enough to burying her group.   she is a dedicated girl. she trains hard, even on the fields where she doesn’t excel at. and having debuted won’t stop her from keep on trying to improve (even though sometimes she feels like she is fighting a lost battle). she makes up for her lack of dancing skills with a good stage presence. nayoung knows what angles are her best, in what way to look at the camera while singing her parts. WEAKNESSES: if nayoung was asked what is her biggest weakness, she’d laugh because it’s just so obvious it already became a joke among her fans. nayoung can’t dance, at all. she tries hard, and trains and she’d kill anyone who tells her she can’t dance for lack of training, but she simply can’t. her body is stiff, clumsy, and even when she got the whole choreo her body still doesn’t move right. she is trying, however, to turn this into some sort of “charm”, something endearing for the fans. but truth be told, it pisses her off. for a perfectionist like her, seeing herself on camera, body stiff, all moves that look so fluid on some of her group mates looking all kinds of wrong on her makes her want to cry in frustration. another thing she knows she has to work on is her variety talents. nayoung is simply not funny and her humor is much more on the dry side than anything else, which doesn’t really fit macaron’s image. and when she does try to be funny for the camera, it never works. she’s insecure in front of the camera when she’s not on stage, and in the times she was invited or casted in variety shows, she faded on the background or ended up being called “uninterested”, which ended up resulting in some nasty comments about her.

BIOGRAPHY !

kang nayoung is the older child of two,, daughter of an important businessman, owner of one of korea’s biggest cosmetics industries and a famous international supermodel, way past her prime. girl has had everything she needed and deserved since very young. spoiled rotten.

however, nayoung never let that get to her head. she is mature, intelligent, always passed all of her subjects with flying colors. member of the debate team, nayoung is well spoken, and for a long time her parents were sure she would end up following a career as a lawyer or politician. but girl had other dreams: she wanted to be a singer.

since young nayoung knew she had a talent for it. her parents had put her on piano classes, but the teacher ended up asking them to give her singing classes. she had a natural talent and all she needed was just some polishing.

nayoung started having singing classes every day. at first, she wanted to be a solo singer, but as she grew older, she started having the dream of becoming an idol.

and that wasn’t such a far-fetched dream. she had the talent but nayoung had one problem: she didn’t have the face.

when she was 13 nayoung tried for the first time getting into CEL entertainment, only to be refused with a simple statement: you don’t have the face we are looking for.

which was probably an understatement. as good as her genes were supposed to be, nayoung was never a pretty girl. her jaw was too square, her head too big, her nose too large. she was chubby and clumsy. she tried getting into CEL two times more only to be refused with the same excuse.

when she was sixteen she moved to the usa with her parents since her father decided to spread his business. there, nayoung started to slowly do some plastic surgery procedures.

when she was eighteen, nayoung decided to go back to korea and live with her grandparents. she didn’t like the states, didn’t make many friends. by the time she arrived at the airport, her grandmother barely recognized her - her face was completely changed.

basically the only thing she didn’t change on her face is her lips.

in that same year, 2012, nayoung tried one more time to get into CEL. this time, she was accepted.

nayoung mother kept nagging her about maybe trying to join another company. CEL was already well known, and a lot of the rumors about the company were already around. her parents were worried about the tight schedules and the hard trainee life her daughter was about to face. but for nayoung, CEL was the right company. they were the ones with the most popular groups and the one that she was sure to have a successful debut. also, she was a big fan of royalty.

from a very young age nayoung found out the power that beauty has in this world. she knows that her talent was never enough to get her anywhere, it doesn’t matter how outstanding she was. this alone changed her, making her cold and calculated. nayoung thinks before saying anything, she looks cold and distant most of the time.

obsessed with her image, nayoung is extremely careful with her looks. goes to sleep early, is always on diets and all that.

even before she became a trainee she destroyed every evidence of her past self. she still lives in fear of some old classmate she doesn’t know of still have pictures of her in middle school though.

she was a trainee not for long, only three years. because she already had a lot of vocal training, that was the part she had less to train. she had a hard time with dancing practice, though, their dance coach always joking around that nayoung was born with two left feet.

it was actually because of her lack of dancing skills that nayoung wasn’t put in melodee. she trained with the girls for a while, but when their concept started to be centered around their sharp dancing, nayoung started to struggle to follow along. when she couldn’t even properly follow the choreography for their debut song, nayoung was cut from the final line up.

that, of course, pissed her off royally. nayoung is a hard worker, and she had always believed that working hard would be enough and she was just not used to get what she wants. she struggled for awhile, skipped some practices, almost thought of quitting CEL. but then, she came back.

in the end, nayoung ended up debuting with the group macaron, just one year after she was kicked out of melodee.

macaron’s choreographies are actually really better for her, and nayoung feels more at ease in her new group, less pressured. her only problem now is: their image. macaron has a bright, colorful, fun image that nayoung simply finds it hard to follow. her calculated, polite personality just doesn’t fit that well.

at first she tried hard to fake that sort of energetic vibe, to be bright and happy and funny in their broadcasts, but that didn’t work that well. now she is still trying to find her place in the group. in a group of nine girls, it’s easy to be left in the background.

she knows, though, that her vocals give her an edge. she was hoping her visuals would too, but in a group with as many beautiful girls as macaron standing out for being pretty is not that easy.

is still terrified that anyone will ever find out about her past face and her plastic surgeries. so far all she has gotten is the usual plastic surgery comments that all CEL groups get.

personality wise, nayoung is driven. she sets a goal and follows it with focus, no one can stand in her way. organized, almost obsessive with order. she likes things her way, and that can be extremely annoying. skeptical, critical, independent, determined. a lot of people like to joke around that she doesn’t have a sense of humor, which is not necessarily true. she does have one, though it is extremely dry. when with friends she can be extremely affectionate, though. if she likes you she almost acts like a guard dog - she will keep you safe and protect you from any harm. has a leader like personality, and is extremely loyal to macaron. will do whatever it takes to make them successful.

as long as love goes, nayoung never had a boyfriend. she blames it on her tight schedule and training life, but the truth is starting to come out: the fact that she likes girls is starting to get harder and harder to ignore.
