hiya i’m demi (she/they, pt) and this is sung, aka choi joosung, stage name sun, main dancer of candy. her stage name sums up at least three quarters of who she is, but there’s more info under the cut. you can also read more about her on her pinterest, bio, public profile, private profile, and claims
personality
my fave part of sungs profile are the sims 4 traits so i’m copying them here: cheerful, creative, romantic, bookworm, music lover, childish, dance machine, slob, squeamish, family oriented, good, insider, outgoing, proper
to expand more on this, sung is excitable. she takes an inch and gives a mile, which can be nice in some situations, but especially as a child it caused her to push potential friends away by being Too Much. as she’s aged, she’s learned to tone this down, but it’s still a work in progress
the claps and bursts out when laughing type
the sends you personal holiday and birthday cards type
sends you 30 texts in a row type
loves reading, scrapbooking, cats, coffee shop & pop music
adores pink and yellow and will be wearing one and/or the other whenever possible
likes anything Cute, clothes or otherwise
in many ways, a pretty traditionally feminine type of girl. she likes being ~pretty, has been cooking from a young age, likes playing homemaker, is very emotional, like jesus the amount that this gorl can cry... you’d think she’d run out eventually, but Nope
tries to be optimistic when possible. brains aren’t always that nice, and sung deals with those struggles too. but she’s a big advocate for talking about your feelings and feeling your feelings so they can be expelled and go away healthily. she tries to observe that as well, but she’s not as good at talking about her deepest non happy emotions, and tends to curl inward in those times. every other emotion level Will be shared and worn on her sleeve though, even to strangers lmao
very physically affectionate. she’s not Particularly careful about gender divides with this, and it applies to anyone she considers a friend, which honestly doesn’t take much
she comes from a very traditional and devout catholic family, though, and it’s framed a lot of her ways of thinking. especially when she was younger, she had mindsets like the ‘love you, but not your lifestyle’ and needed to break out of that when she was exposed to more queer people through the industry
she also has decently strong opinions on things like over-drinking, smoking, sleeping around, and can be a little judgmental over those things
for the most part, she doesn’t ever intend to start arguments. she wants to get on with everyone. one of few times she’s full on cold to someone is if they’re an ex of a close friend who treated them badly, because she’s very loyal and ‘if you hate them i hate them’ type of friend
also unfortunately het. i’m as disappointed as the rest of u
background
sung was born with a fraternal twin to parents that owned an itty bitty restaurant together. and it’s very bob’s burgers they barely scraped by
but when sung was about ~9, her dad caught some luck, and was always away from home doing business meetings for the shop. then by the time sung was 10, the whole family packed up to start building a chain for their restaurant
sung already struggled making friends before moving, but moving made it a bit worse. she became an idol fan as an escape, and started dancing because of it
when she was 17, her family settled down in seoul as a new permanent location, and sung saw it as her opportunity to be the idol she’d dreamt she could be over the last 6 years of dancing
her luck wouldn’t be the Greatest, though, as she’d fall into a scam for a couple of months
she developed higher standards for checking for scams, started training at a real company, but had to find out through an article online that the company had shut down
her parents wanted her to give up, but up to that point, she’d only auditioned for smaller companies because of the higher success rate. she presented a plan to audition for only the top five companies, and they eventually agreed to that
however, it still took a year of auditioning for bc ent to accept her
and when she was accepted, she didn’t train for long at all before being put on candy shop, then straight to debut
career/image
sung’s public persona isn’t very different from who she is. like with most idols, she has to put on a happy face even when she’s not feeling so hot, but beyond that, who she is, is what the public sees
she’s a sunshine/vitamin archetype
her appeal as an idol according to the public has three main sections. at the top, personality, then second is her looks, and third would be dancing
though she really enjoyed candy shop (as a fan of healthy competitiveness, aka mostly against herself) it introduced her to the public and made her aware that what she’s most proud of (dancing) is less important to the public than her looks. she has always worried people will value her looks for over who she is, so while i think personality wins over looks, i don’t think sung sees it that way, and it’s a sore spot for her
being in candy in general is great for her, tho. she adores the music, the styling, the image, some of the choreo
so far she’s been a bit of a viral darling, and i think that will probably stick around
in her future career, she’ll have focuses mostly on modelling and choreography methinks, so if anyone would like a choreographer, hit sung up
plots
sung’s fave group of all is lily so anything around her being starry eyed. maybe it makes for a nice successful fan connection or your muse doesn’t fit sung’s expectations and it breaks sung’s rose tinted glasses
she’s also a fan of idols and the idol world in general tho! she has favorites, but even if she isn’t a big fan of your group, she probably knows your choreography. could be your muse thinks she’s a bigger fan than she is because of clips of her dancing to their songs, or she genuinely is a big fan, or they do challenge videos together a lot
negative plots are great since they’re not all that common with a sung type! men who’ve done her dirty, people she’s been judgmental to, people who get turned away by her overwhelming and sudden affection/ex friends for similar reasons, or maybe the practice room monster she turns into rubs someone the wrong way at one point
late 2019 to 2022, i have in my head that sung would be dating, but i’ve left what this time looks like as an open plot. so, this could be multiple relationships one after the next, or a three year relationship. if someone wants to take up a current plot, i have this Thot... hear me out. so she’s dating this person for some amount of time and for some reason, they break up real time in-verse and because she felt the most in luv w this person over anyone else she’s dated, it hits hard, and she makes decisions that breach her morals (aka full sleepin w someone when up to this point she’d have been a ‘technical’ virg to appease her own religious rules) this could all be talked about more in depth in dms since this is getting quite long, but it’s the first storyline i have in mind for sung personally
piggybacking off of that with a smaller one would be if somehow someone is close friends with an ex of sung’s and thinks poorly of sung for moving on so quickly, since i think it’s been like... max two weeks for almost every guy she’s been with before she starts dating another
