I genuinely don’t understand the idea that some idols hate their fans like???? No I can’t wait to meet my fans they are the only reason I decided to make an idol dr and become an idol in the first place???? They are the only reason I perform??? Like if some idols do hate their fans pop off I guess but they did give us our whole careers so…….??
what to expect if you’re shifting to a small town dr, from someone who lives in a small southern town
(ofc depending on what you script it could be different, this is just me yappin)
I. you will see people you know everywhere, at your best and worst. like, your old high school teacher is your neighbor. you see like three of your classmates at once at a restaurant, and one of them is your server. your ex now works front desk at the gym. your other teacher is a close family friend and is just in your house now. someone you haven’t seen in years has just seen you on death’s door at urgent care.
II. your town may have a social media group where they gossip about local news, or just complain about potholes. or ask what that loud noise was.
III. I am begging you to script a variety of places to eat locally. deciding where to eat takes an act of congress when our choices are: fast food you’ve had a million times, that one fancy restaurant that’s too expensive to go to regularly, or driving out of town to eat something different for once.
IV. news travels fast. idk if this is true for bigger areas as well, but when something happens everyone hears about it. like if someone gets arrested, there’s zero hope of hiding it and anyone who’s known you for even a millisecond knows every detail now and your entire life story is on facebook. and your mugshot.
V. once again I am begging you to script a variety of things to do in your area, that don’t require driving an hour away. we have fuck all to do round here except stare at historical sites we drive past daily and walk aimlessly around Walmart.
VI. please. script. good. clothing. stores. this may be a southern thing but oh my goodness every local clothing store makes finding good clothes like a scavenger hunt. 90% of it is either straight out of someone’s meemaw’s closet, a sea of camo, or simply southern t-shirts with a graphic of a dog or something about hunting or fishing. RELEASE MEEEEE !!

Stage Name: SPIKE ✶ Korean name: 신광일 / Shin Kwang-il ✶ English name: Spike Shin ✶ Date Of Birth: May 8th, 2000 ✶ MBTI: ESFJ ✶ SKZOO: Vampire bat ✶ UNIT: VocalRacha ✶ SUBUNIT: (unnamed)

Shin Kwang-il (Korean: 신광일; born May 8, 2000), known as SPIKE, is a South Korean rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer. He is a member of the South Korean boy band Stray Kids under JYP Entertainment.
2000-2014
Born in Dulwich, London, Shin Kwangil lived there for years with his parents, Yang Iseul/Iris Yang and Shin Wook/Mark Shin, and sister, Shin Arayeon/Buffy Shin.
He was taken out of public school in year 7 due to various stressors, and was homeschooled from then on; keeping in contact with just his childhood best friend. (my cr friend that I scripted in)
However, in that time, Kwangil ignored most of his studies, not being very academic, and had a full four years of instead pursuing what his heart really desired, as much as he could in the comfort of his own home. This included dancing, singing, drums, forms of art and animation, even going as far to learn how to program laser shows on his laptop. His mother caught on quickly, and decided to pay for proper singing lessons so he could progress.
Furthermore, he used this time to explore his tastes in music, which extended from electronic and hardcore into an expanse of subgenres. But despite those being his favourite genres, he listened to almost anything depending on his mood. Britpop and indie held a special place in his heart, and Robbie Williams was an inspiration to him.
But, during all of this time, to his dismay - Kwangil's best friend had moved back to South Korea. So he really did have to focus on himself fully.
🦇
If not occupied with one of his hobbies, Kwangil's time would be spent on lone adventures through hidden corners of the city, overlooked small shops, and random fields. He had always only lived in the current and taken life unseriously. He would have no set goal, just exploring, not worrying at all about distance or potentially getting lost; there's a solution to everything. During these outings, the solitary was nice, although - he wished that one day he would find someone to explore with. Someone else who also didn't feel like they fit in.
Kwangil would also spend time in nature. He seemed to have something that sparked curiosity in animals; no matter how skittish they were, they would find themselves drawn to his presence. The pigeons were his favourite. Because of this, he always carried a small pouch amongst the many keychains on his waistband, which contained sunflower seeds for any lucky bird who made their way towards him.
Though, to interrupt him towards the end of these years, as GCSEs crept up on Kwangil, reality struck him, and he felt stuck. Not just with the exams - but with life. How could he get anywhere if he wasn't academic?
2014-2017
In 2014, JYPE reached out to Kwangil via email after coming across his YouTube channel. A few videos were posted to it, and apart from animal videos - they were all videos showcasing his singing or dancing. So - granted this email wasn't a scam - he finally felt like he had hope for a future.
After swiftly accepting, Kwangil was flown to South Korea to become a trainee and participate in the Stray Kids survival show.
Despite his initial awkwardness, Kwangil proved to get along with the members, and anyone at the company in general, offering help to anyone to show that he cared - even without prior interaction.
During his time as a trainee, he underwent additional lessons to learn how to rap, which he picked up on well, resulting in him picking an alias for additional projects of his: 100LUX. He chose this in 2016.
Further into 2016, as 3RACHA was formed, due to expressing his desire to work more behind the scenes, 100LUX would take the responsibility for helping set the stage, discuss outfits, and most importantly: program the lights and lasers.
Through this role, he took it as an opportunity to get to know 3RACHA more, wanting the others to meet him. Ultimately, he found it easier than he thought, and developed friendships and a sense of closeness he'd never really expected to experience.
2017-2019
Despite the occasional hardships, Kwangil wouldn't change a thing about his journey - it all led him to where he is today, pursuing a career many can only dream of doing, with a group of friends he would call his family. However, regarding these friends.. one of them was a slight exception.
Despite it initially taking months for him to realise, the fact was undeniable: he was in love with his best friend.
Aaand the rest is unscripted! However, on Christmas day of 2019, either Han or I will confess to each other (haven't scripted who, just scripted that it's guaranteed to happen on that day).
✶ GENERAL PERSONALITY ✶
Spike is very emotional and observant. He watches over people and analyses them by the way they act and interact with others before making his decision to interact.
He is caring, and shows it mostly by offering to help people with things, or checking up on people if they go quiet or seem off. He loves to take care of people in general, which could be a mix of both being an older sibling, and his personality in general.
But overall, his most prominent trait aside from his energy is his humour - Spike cannot go through a sentence without making a joke. Furthermore, extending beyond making jokes himself - he is always the one to laugh at them. He laughs very easily over things. (I even have a laugh claim, I just found this guy so funny and realised it sounds EXACTLY like my laugh irl. Like to the T 😭)
He also has an easygoing nature, finding it easy to converse with people he has never met before. He loves to meet new people.
As expected from Spike's very energetic personality, he is absolutely an adrenaline junkie. He can and will do the most insane things and ride the most insane rides with no fear because it's fun!
LIKES ; figure/plushie/merch collecting, video games, aviation, trains, doing once in a life time things, travelling, healthy living, animals, nature, music, arts, fruit, fast paced drums, 'creepy' animals or insects, surprising people, technology, countries, romance, doing literally anything with a special someone
LOVES ; my pet wood pigeon. Oh yeah and Han!
DISLIKES ; poorly written storylines, normies/basic people, untidy spaces
HATES ; pigeon pie
WHAT I WANT TO DO IN THE FUTURE ; introduce Han to my family and show him my special places in London, change the world with my music, own a big snake, travel to as many countries as possible, find big spiders in Australia (and remove them from the situation if I need to), star in movies/TV shows, voice a final fantasy character, help my sister with her dream of becoming a designer, meet a giant golden-crowned flying fox, teach jeongin to speak English in an English accent, convince Han to befriend a pigeon, go on various romantic dates I have planned in my head over the years
✶ TRIVIA ✶
✶ lux is a measurement of light, and 광(gwang) means light. 일(il) means one, which goes a bit hand in hand with the '100' in 100LUX. The 'LUX' part is also taken from the word 'luxury'.
but I kind of just chose this name because it sounded cool and now I'm trying to conjure up a backstory LMFAOO
✶ This is also unintentional, but I JUST realised that Han(KIND OF) and il both mean 1, so we kinda both have the same meaning in part of our names omg..........
✶ my colour is actually purple! I'm just using red for my profile's theme lol
✶ I'm in my own subunit with me + 3racha where I take care of the behind the scenes stuff, however I can't think of a cool name, so I'll just figure it out when I'm there!
✶ my blood type is O and my height is 5'10" I'm just too lazy to edit the top bit ok.........
✶ I have a pet wood pigeon that lives in my home in London called Dougal that I ABSOLUTELY scripted will live for decades and also flies to whatever country I'm in with no issue #ilovemyson
✶ I'm fluent in English, Korean, and Mandarin Chinese
✶ scripted that the company let me get away with anything since they can't risk losing me, I got an eyebrow piercing very soon after debut without asking, they got mad but couldn't do anything 😛😛✌️
✶ "are those real?" I have naturally sharper canines. When I was very young my parents would affectionately compare it to a vampire/bat, so they gave me a bat teddy, which I named Vampy. He became my favourite childhood teddy. Even after losing my baby teeth, my adult canines were still sharper as well. I LOVE fruit so they would also refer to fruit bats when i was young. Kwang rhymes with fang so it makes all of this even better lmao
✶ at some point, I get Han a matching tamagotchi!!
✶ I LOVE spicy food and have an amazing tolerance for it
✶ Han and I have a (fanmade) racha unit called Saracha (sarang + racha) ITS SO CHEESY LMFAOOAO I love it
bonus meme
NEXT,
If anyone's interested in it, I could share things about my dr home, belongings, pets, outfits, I don't mind! I just need to know what you want to see 👀👀
As a person who already shifted: Y’all need to detach personal spiritual beliefs from the actual shifting performance. You don’t need to believe in LOA to do it. You can have your own religious ideologies and shift. Shifting is like drinking water, you don’t need to associate yourself with any denomination to grab the glass and take a sip.
