Hi! Just joined KPDH fandom and love your reverse au! Speaking of which, how do you imagine Hana's appearance? I'm curious about how she looks.
Hello! Glad that you're enjoying the madness that is me rambling and posting about my KPDH Reverse AU lmao
I do have an envisioned image of what I think Hana looks, so imma leave a bunch of notes for it down below. With any luck, it will be coherent and understandable.
I imagine that she is a bit older than the Saja Boys. Based on what I’ve read, there’s no specific age requirement to be a manager for a k-pop group, but I would think she has been in the industry for a while.
I picture the boys as all being in their early 20s, so I think Hana is in her late 20s at the very least, so probably early 30s.
For her height, I picture her as being between 5'6" to 5'7" feet or 167 cm to 170 cm.
She has light skin, with a beauty spot at the corner of her right eye. She may have used makeup to cover it up when she was younger, but I think that nowadays she doesn't cover it up.
I also kind of imagine that she is toned underneath her clothing, because she does knows Hapkido (a type of Korean martial art that is great for self-defense) and that she is stronger than she looks.
And she wears glasses. I had an idea for the exact shape being more rectangle-like, based on the reference photos of glasses below.
For her hair, I picture her as having long black hair, that she usually wears up in a bun when she's on the job. I like the way a hair bun can give a person a sort of professional and polished appearance, which I liked for her.
I think when she was younger, she may have dyed her hair, but now she just keeps to her natural hair color.
I have a few ideas for bun hairstyles below. I can see her alternating between more simplistic hairstyles with less noticeable hair ties/pins. And then, other times she wears other hair accessories like a butterfly clip or just a more noticeable hair clip/pins.
I mentioned in a previous post, but I can see her having matching nail art with the boys and their mascot (being mostly cat-themed). So I found a few sort of references or ideas for it on Pinterest.
I can imagine her with the one on the far right, with her having cats that match the boys' colors. (Jinu = dark purple, Beomseok = red, Jae = pink, Daeun = turquoise, Garam = light blue).
Or also the one on the far left, because I personally like that one and I think its cute.
For other makeup, I imagine she wears foundation (but she doesn't cover up her beauty spot), mascara and a more subtle lipstick shade like muted pinks.
For her outfits, she wears dark-colored and simple clothing, something that is easy to move in since you never know what will happen when you're the manager of a k-pop group, but also professional-looking.
I can see her wearing blazers and trousers when on the job, or when she's with the boys at an event.
Like Bobby, I can see her wearing Saja Boys' merch (like shirts) either on the job and off to show her support for them.
She also wears a yellow-colored norigae as a fashion piece on her outfits, like how the Huntrix girls wear them in the movie. Since norigae can hold meaningful expressions of a person's hope, wishes, and dreams. I imagine that she would have some kind of representative of the Saja Boys, since she wishes for them to succeed and wants them to be safe.
So, I think it would either be the tassels are multi-colored to represent the boys and their colors.
Or the other idea that I thought up was that she would have a charm that has the Saja Boys' band symbol (which would be a lion-like symbol based on a haetae, a lion-like creature from Korean folklore). Probably something from their official merch in-universe.
I'll also add in that some k-pop artists and groups actually incorporate elements of Korean mythology and folklore into their concepts, lyrics, and visuals. So, I can 100% see the boys using a haetae as the basis of their band symbol and some of their visuals. To reference how their symbol was a lion in the movie but to make it more based in an actual lion-like creature from Korean culture (since lions are not native to Korea).
And I had the idea that the boys would have gifted her a pair of bells for her to wear (like the ones that Zoey has on her norigae, as shown in the little reference photo below). Since in Korean folklore, bells are believed to ward off evil spirits and misfortune. So, I can see the boys gifting it to her since they want her to be safe.
I should also add that Haetae are sometimes depicted with a bell around their neck, which is the mythical creature I imagine the boys as being associated with.
I can also see her having a small butterfly charm that sits near the tassels, like how Zoey has a little turtle charm on her norigae (and butterflies are Hana's favorite animal).
