yoo hoo ~ new year, new muse 😎 i’m jay, new to wannabe so i’ll prob stumble around a bit these next few weeks. i’m here with this piece of work, song hansol. spontaneous, a thrill-seeker, the life of a party. he just loves life, y’know. here’s his about & plots page. if you’d like to plot, please give this a ♥️ and i’ll hit ya up ~~

more info under cut & misc plot ideas.

the son of his father’s second wife, so he gets ( drumroll please ) … nothing! yeah, he’s not happy about it either and is throwing his father’s money around and living his best life. catch him hosting house parties, dj-ing at clubs, street racing, or at the hospital because he did something impulsive again.

if he likes you, he’s extremely generous and would pay for dinner, clothes, you name it. he’ll get you out of trouble and get you that connection. a Great wingman as long as he’s not interested in the same person.

but if he doesn’t like you … i’ll let babymonster take this one.

short-tempered and impatient. he uh, likes to throw things and kick things over, so if you’re tight with him, better get used to dodging.

he has this tiny bolognese puppy named shushu that he adores and would run into traffic for. that’s how he got the scar on his back shoulder.

his interest in the entertainment industry came about a little like this – father: son, you have no prospects for the future, and you need to get your act together. go enlist, so the military can smack some sense into you. hansol: omg no, i can’t. i’m suddenly interested in uhhh ( looks at tv ) becoming an idol. yes! an idol! this is my dream and my only chance ( puppy eyes ) yeah, so him and his 0 performance skills will be trying to wiggle his way in.

misc plot ideas.

anyone wanna speed-run the xmas on ice event?? ( spilled your hot chocolate on him, his dog won’t stop tailing you around, he doesn’t know how to ice skate and keeps clinging / falling on you, set up on a blind date, or you were stood up by your date, getting scammed by a vendor, anything goes )

maybe you’re the one who hit him with your car when he ran out to save his dog

or maybe you were the original owner of the dog he stole and renamed shushu

friends, childhood friends, his posse, his ride-or-die, someone who’s just using him for money and connections, or someone who genuinely cares for him

or maybe someone he randomly saved??

someone in the upper social circle that he runs away with when things get stuffy

broke your arm, your leg, what gives, and prevented you from debut or doing something important, and since then you’ve hated him for it

once upon a time, the parents tried to pair you two up ( f 22+ )

or maybe the parents are good friends and tried to get you two to get along but you hate each other and now you have to act buddy-buddy at social events

met in group therapy and it did more harm than good

eventually he’s going to get kicked out of his house, and now he’s squatting at yours?? eating your food?? flirting with the old lady next door???

Could you do more info on the tftp mates like you did with the imprinted ones? I'm very curious about them

omg absolutely!!!! also, i’ve explained before how on the mate info list that i used svt’s birth years even though tftp is set in a different time period but it’s used to show how like, those are the ages that their bodies are currently stuck in until they start aging again etc etc (ex: mingyu’s body is the same age as say, minghao’s, but mingyu himself is i think 30-ish years older than that). so in this list i put x for the first two numbers in the birth years just because i dont wanna confuse people and make them think it is set in the current time period, im just trying to show the age differences/order/who they’re around the same age as/etc. i hope this makes sense lmfao 💀

“𝓞nce upon a winsome faerie’s dawn, 𝖠𝗅𝖺𝗂𝖺.”

The Dawn of Beginnings

In the quaint city of Suwon, Gyeonggi, a tale unfolds, starting on April 11, 2000, when Yu Ji-min entered the world. Little did the world know that this birth marked the beginning of a journey that would lead to the creation of Karina, a name destined for the spotlight.

Growing up in Suwon, Karina’s roots were firmly planted in her hometown. She navigated the halls of Hansol High School until a twist of fate prompted her departure, and with determination, she earned her GED certificate, a key to unlocking future chapters.

Karina, a name that echoed with a touch of the divine, traced its origin to her Catholic faith. Katarina, her chosen name in the spiritual realm, became the muse for her stage identity. Thus, the metamorphosis began – Yu Ji-min transformed into Karina, a name destined for fame.

A Tale of Rising Stars

The tale takes an intriguing turn when destiny wove Karina into the fabric of SM Entertainment’s grand tapestry. A scout, armed with the power of social media, discovered her, setting in motion a four-year odyssey of training. In the crucible of preparation, Karina honed her skills, readying herself for the grand stage that awaited.

October 27, 2020, emerged as a pivotal moment when SM Entertainment unveiled Karina as the second luminary in the constellation of aespa. The stage was set, and on November 17, 2020, Karina’s metamorphic journey reached its zenith. She stepped into the limelight as the leader and main dancer of aespa, casting a spell with the digital single “Black Mamba.”

And so, the tale of Karina unfolded—a story of origins, faith, perseverance, and the electrifying debut that marked the birth of a leader and dancer extraordinaire.

DISCLAIMER

Avoiding any misconceptions that may arise from the way the writer handles this account. A pre-warning is given to clarify that all content is created exclusively for roleplaying purposes. Therefore, any connections to the muse, Yoo Karina, are non-existent.

Leaders Diaries Requests!

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/Qf8GjbZ by skzophrenia In a world where being a K-pop leader doesn’t just mean managing a group—it means raising one, six of the most iconic leaders from ATEEZ, STRAY KIDS, TWICE, GOT7, DAY6, and SEVENTEEN have taken on a whole new challenge: parenting their fellow members. But here’s the kicker—they’re not your average family. Every single one of them has superpowers. With Bang Chan (SKZ), Nayeon (TWICE), Hongjoong (ATEEZ), Jaebeom (GOT7), Sungjin (DAY6), and S.Coups (SEVENTEEN) as the head of this chaotic household, they juggle their parenting duties while trying to keep their superpowered teens from blowing up the house, skipping school via teleportation, or vanishing into thin air during chore time. The “kids” are aged 10 to 17, each with their own quirks and powers—Jeongin, the baby of the bunch at 10, can’t fully control his abilities yet and often causes unintentional mayhem. Meanwhile, older teens like Woozi, Yeji, and Hyunjin are struggling with the drama of high school, crushes, powers, and parental lectures. Words: 288, Chapters: 1/1, Language: English Series: Part 1 of Leader’s Diaries: ATEEZ, STRAY KIDS, TWICE, GOT7, DAY6 AND SEVENTEEN cross over!

BP Misson 2

alright, starting with... .............................................................................................................................. LOVE KILLA SEOK MATTHEW (22 5'7")/P/P/P/P - i dont really like this performance for him [also, you dont get to pick to be the leader then bitch about it] [also, also! you dont get to complain ppl treat you like a baby, but then want someone to baby you and tell you it'll be alright!..... i wonder if thats why he and gunwookie get on so well.] Like he's still so sparkle bubble gum in this. KIM JI WOONG (25, 5'10)/P/P/P/P - have I mentioned that he's pretty yet? ... he does have good stage presence KIM GYU VIN (20, 6'0")/F/P/F/F SEO WON (23 5'7")/F/F/F/P - he has a cute smile tho. i dont enjoy his vocal color, but he was stable

EWWWWWWWWWWW, why did that kid win? Ppl think he's pretty must be. He's not. and he's not good either.

Lets be clear. KIM GYU VIN (20, 6'0") is not a good singer, not a good dancer, not a great visual, but he is FUNNY AF. He's a little weirdo in all ZB1 reality shows, and I've REALLY warmed up to him.

SEOK MATTHEW (22 5'7") this kids got alot of anxieties huh? .............................................................................................................................. FEEL SPECIAL CHA WOONG KI (22, 5'8")/F/F/F/F ZHANG SHUAI BO (22, 6'0")/P/F/F/F - he looks like a baby Hyukie from Vixx LEE DONG GUN (19, 5'10")/F/F/F/F CAI JIN XIN (20, 6'2")/F/F/F/F why can't they just bring the effing key down if none of them can hit it? liiiiiiike ?

They did Queen Jihyo dirty. .............................................................................................................................. HOME JAY CHANG (23, 5'9")/P/P/P/P - I'm just sayin, brown haired Jay >>> omfg, Jay's look straight to camera killed me. How does anyone possibly not love this kid. But why did he pick tHIS song tho? Like for realsies. (omfg, he is SO fucking cute comforting knock off hansol!!) YOO SEUNG EON (20, 5'10")/F/P/F/F Liiiike, he hit the note, but i dont loooove his voice DANG HONG HAI (20, 5'11")/F/F/F/F - knock off Hansol NEEDS to go bro. YOON JONG WOO (24, 5'9")/F/P/P/P JI YUN SEO (19, 6'0")/F/P/P/F of COURSE no one can replicate DK's falsetto. I've been raving about that shit for years.

YOO SEUNG EON (20, 5'10") I like this kid, man!

This was horrible. They left all the boring choreography and no one was even interesting. [but goddamn, Jay is fucking pretty] .............................................................................................................................. BUTTERFLY CHEN KUAN JUI (23, 5'9")/F/F/F/F LIM JUN SEO (19, 5'10")/F/F/F/F - what the fuck are you even talking about? you picked this song so you could improve??? NAUR. CONG (23, 5'8")/P/P/F/F BRIAN (22, 6'1")/F/F/F/F

.............................................................................................................................. GANG KUM JUN HYEON (22, 5'11")/F/P/P/F - this kid do too much LEE SEUNG HWAN (24, 5'10")/P/P/P/P - silver pants was fine MUN JUNG HYUN (19, 6'0")/F/P/F/P - silver jacket is a nice little dancer, but his vocal is meh. passable. [I lied, failing him] LEE JEONG HYEON (22, 6'1")/F/P/F/F - black puffy vest? NAUR. CHEN JIAN YU (26, 5'10")/P/?/F/F KUM JUN HYEON (22, 5'11") - he's a fucking moody ass kid huh?

know why I like KUM JUN HYEON (22, 5'11") this kid? Cause when he didn't win, his first emotion was disappointment. Not fake "so happy for the kid who won" bs that other losers do. .............................................................................................................................. ZOOM KEITA (23, 5'5")/F/F/P/P HARUTO (19, 5'7")/F/P/P/P OLLIE (18, 6'0")/F/F/F/F - yellow head band makes my face go ehhhheck. like honesty eeeeeechk. he's so off sync and sounds so out of place. like NONE of it is good. WUMUTI (25, 5'9")/P/F/F/F - oh i forgot this bitch was in this again! not gonna lie. Love his little Wumu-ti-ti-ti PARK HYUN BEEN (19, 5'10")/F/P/F/P - like, the red letter jacket was fine. not good. just fine.

PARK HYUN BEEN (19, 5'10") - this kid is so endearing!

KEITA (23, 5'5") - trainer bitch goes "I love Keitaaaaa" HAAAA! And trainer bitch boy goes "he's never been unstable" SO WHY DID HE NOT MAKE IT INTO THE FINALE MNET! judges musta been pissed.

awwww, PARK HYUN BEEN (19, 5'10") - baby forgot the lyrics during practice! I still love him though!! I really do want this kid on my team!! .............................................................................................................................. LAW HAN YU JIN (17, 5'10")/F/P/P/P PARK HAN BIN (22, 5'9")/F/P/P/P - nose scar might do too much, but im not really mad WANG ZI HAO (23, 5'10)/F/P/F/P ooooh, look how low that bitch got on the floor! NA KAMDEN (23, 6'0")/F/P/F/P LEE YE DAM (21, 5'5")/F/P/P/P - eye scar has stage presence man!

Love that it shows them all fucking sweaty with no context for why they're like that.

I mean, that wasn't anything I enjoyed. But they all did fine. whatever i guess.

NA KAMDEN (23, 6'0") always looks salty for no good reason

please stop focusing on HAN YU JIN (17, 5'10") so damn much. I just dont care about him.

On the Korean Diaspora

The Korean Diaspora... This is the general, all-encompassing term for those Koreans who have left their homelands and live abroad, whether that be in America, China, or, in some cases, it can even refer to those North Koreans who moved to or were displaced to South Korea and vice versa.

So, why is this important? And if you want to learn more about it, where should you turn?

An unsuspecting answer is... *drumroll please* theatre!

youtube

PublicTheaterNY. “WILD GOOSE DREAMS Montage | The Public Theater” YouTubeVideo, 0:55, 2018. https://youtu.be/e-KqHPUQV0g.

Wild Goose Dreams (2017) is a play written by Hansol Jung, and it was first performed in 2017 at La Jolla Playhouse, California. While it is not her most famous production, Wild Goose Dreams is one of many plays that reflects the struggles of those involved with the current-day Korean Diaspora.

What's it all about?

Hansol Jung’s play follows the story of two companionless and increasingly despondent individuals involved in the Korean diaspora. Guk Minsung, a “goose father” who has sent his wife and daughter to America while continuing to work to support them while he, himself, stays in South Korea, has grown tremendously lonely and disconnected from his loved ones abroad.

Explanation of Terms: Minsung is a working man or “goose father” for what is referred to as a “wild goose family”. These families have become increasingly common in Korean society since the middle of the 1990s, in which the mother and child move abroad for the child’s education or other reasons and the father stays in Korea to support them financially. Originally, the term “goose” was given to these families and fathers not only because geese are migratory birds, but also because geese are known as “very devoted bird sacrificing oneself for children.” Kyounghee Kim, “Change and Challenge of Korean Family in the Era of Globalization: Centering Transnational Families,” Journal of Ritsumeikan Social Sciences and Humanities 1, 2009, 169. https://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/acd/re/k-rsc/hss/book/pdf/vol01_10.pdf.

Yoo Nanhee, a defector from North Korea, is also lonely being away from her family and is becoming uncertain if her decision to leave her home behind was the morally right thing for her to do. One day while swiping through a mobile dating app (like many of the rest of us lonely souls), these two connect and form a "relationship" thanks to the communication ability and accessibility of modern technology.

Nanhee ignores the large red flag of herself assisting Minsung in engaging in an affair, and the two continue to see each other on occasion to relieve their feelings of loneliness (even as Nanhee begins to have hallucinations of her father and a penguin in the toilet during their sexual interactions. Yeah, that one threw me for a loop too). Through each other the pair search for meaning in their lonely identities and seek connection and understanding.

However, as Nanhee is more convinced by her illusions and a deal gone wrong to contact her family in North Korea, she flees back to North Korea. At the same time, Minsung’s wife in America informs him that she will be marrying another man, and his daughter cuts contact with him on social media. The play ends with Minsung writing a song for Nanhee, gaining brief internet celebrity, and then committing suicide just before Nanhee returns to South Korea and is detained as a defector.

And how's this supposed to help me understand the Korean Diaspora?

So glad you asked! Or didn't. But if you've read this far, you might as well stick around for the important stuff, right?

In Hansol Jung's play, the struggles of Nanhee and Minsung reflect those of many in the Korean Diaspora. She reveals these conflicts through a majority of ongoing themes that question the importance of family in the modern era, the feelings of disconnection with others brought about by technology, and the pondering of one’s own identity and desires when the world around one’s self is changing.

One of the areas she makes the largest commentary on is the impact of technology and social media on daily lives of not just those wishing to connect with their loved ones, but also just individuals in general.

youtube

PublicTheaterNY. “Hansol Jung and Leigh Silverman Explore Korea and Humanizing the Internet | WILD GOOSE DREAMS.” YouTube Video, 02:17, 2018. https://youtu.be/bubo1Tx_yfM.

"Despite the internet connecting all aspects of the world, technology can make individuals feel even more isolated than they might without it."

In the age of technology, it is easier than ever before to talk with and connect to loved ones abroad and ease loneliness with the company of strangers. However, the reality of this is not always so simple. Minsung’s daughter blocks him on social media, and his wife won't talk to him. He's only able to see his family’s lives through pictures on posts. Nanhee struggles with finding connections through technology. Did the phone she sent through a broker to her father really reach him? Was it truly her father she spoke with? Would she ever be able to truly connect with her family again?

Both of the characters try to connect with their families through technology and fail to do so, which is when they use technology to have a relationship with each other.

The scenes and portrayals of technology and the internet make it clear to the audience that technology hasn’t helped either of these characters involved with the Korean Diaspora with their loneliness. Arguably, 「having technology may have made their disconnection more obvious and negatively influential on their mental states」. Not only that, but the judgment of individuals online can be irrevocably damaging to one’s mental health and public image.

In Minsung’s case, he not only lost his family and lover but, as a goose father, he also lost his identity. While the encouragement and brief period of fame he received from the internet gave him another identity as an internet celebrity for a brief moment, this sense of belonging was temporary and the loss of it was fatal. Thus, while technology can be used to connect people, it can also make them realize disconnect more harshly.

Despite internet users being able to talk to and about each other, their words and attention are also temporary and isolating.

Even if users feel different and unreal when they're anonymous or physically far away, the impact of their words is very real.

youtube

RE: theatre. “RE: Hansol Jung.” YouTube Video, 25:33, 1 November 2018. https://youtu.be/3Oie8nlUQc4.

Another important point that Jung makes is that

"The reality of those involved in the Korean Diaspora is often not all sunshine and rainbows and reaching one's dreams abroad."

For Minsung:

For instance, in 2014, there were a number of "goose fathers" who committed suicide. I'm sure many of your instinctive reactions were "oh, that's awful!" Yet, popular responses to actual goose father suicides in South Korea were "to blame the father for being too sentimental and weak" (Hassig, 2013). That's quite the difference in reactions! Yet, many individuals do not understand the impact of moving abroad or having loved ones living away from home.

Jung's play highlights this problem with Minsung's own suicide. The loneliness and pressure of being a primary supporter of a family he doesn't even see becomes too much for him, especially after the loss of his loosely defined "friendship" in Nanhee. Another important part of Minsung's suicide is the fame leading up to it. Minsung's sorrows and problems are only noticed once they go viral online, quickly to be forgotten until news of his demise brings them back up.

For Nanhee:

In Nanhee's case, as a defector from North Korea, she is constantly struggling with the fact that she left her family behind to pursue her own success and happiness. Yet, once she has found her peace and returns once again to South Korea to seek out Minsung, she is detained by authorities for crossing the border and being a possible spy. The commentary Jung gives through Nanhee highlights two main questions.

Some scholars might question if North Koreans who move from North Korea are truly a part of the Korean Diaspora, but I believe Nanhee's struggles with her identity abroad show she is just as impacted by moving from her homeland to South Korea as any other Korean immigrant.

A large number of North Koreans are detained or welcomed to South Korea each year, largely based on political agendas and popular support. As seen in Nanhee's case, these individuals titled as "defectors" already have large problems with their personal identities, and their changing social status based on political and social desires likely does not help the disconnect that they feel.

For more on Question 2, see: Lankov, Andrei. “Bitter Taste of Paradise: North Korean Refugees in South Korea.” Journal of East Asian Studies 6, no. 1 (2006): 105–37. http://www.jstor.org/stable/23418172.

Nanhee's problems are similar to those that North Korean immigrants face in reality as well. In order to relate to these individuals and fix these problems, one must understand that the hardships these people face exist and are not as far-away or fictional as you might believe.

Why now?

What's so important about this play? Why should you care about the Korean Diaspora?

Well, that's a lot of questions packed into a smaller package, but the main reason why is that these problems are contemporarily relevant.

Firstly, both North and South Korea are internationally relevant countries in many various ways: They are military, social, and economic powers. Also, South Korea is incredibly well-known and appreciated for its pop culture, such as K-pop, K-dramas, and video games.

Secondly, many of those in the Korean Diaspora immigrated to America, the land made up of immigrants. Yet, these individuals face social and political struggles that have nothing to do with the disconnect and cultural shock they naturally experience from their relocation. In order to better connect with and help these immigrants and their descendants settle in America, and for these individuals to find their own place, there must be a place for them in the country they migrated to. Even more importantly, they need to know that there is a place for them. The disconnect Nanhee feels is because she is without her family, and she feels lost in a society that should be similar to hers but is incredibly alien instead. Minsung, like many other goose fathers, gives in under the pressure of loneliness from being away from his family and commits suicide.

There are other reasons the Korean Diaspora is of import, of course, such as social, political, economic, and cultural exchanges... and even just concepts of human rights, racial and social movements for equality and acceptance... but the main idea of this play in this moment and this time is that the world has become a technological one. 「With technology can come global communication, but it can also bring loneliness, disconnect, and hatefulness that lead to deaths like Minsung's」.

Yet, just as technology can bring an individual, a group, or a people down, it can also lift them up. Making use of technology to connect with people you've never met and those who wish to see every day can make large impacts on the world and how individuals understand each other.

This play illuminates this message and uses it to highlight the argument that technology and the Korean Diaspora are now heavily intertwined.

Through technology, people can become connected and understandings can be reached that were impossible previously. That's why individuals should now pay attention to these topics, and that's also why this specific play, with its technology-focus and commentary on the Korean Diaspora, is incredibly relevant in today's society.
