hello, friends! this is so late, but that tracks for me... π anyway, you can call me ππππ & some of you may remember me when i was here a rather long time ago. i had a muse named jeong kian, & another named lee yuan ( aka the common denominator, iykyk ). i was feeling β¨ nostalgic β¨ about them recently, so i decided to introduce a newer muse of mine to this space, one inspired by yuan, but less of an agent of chaos, & i hope you enjoy getting to know him ( oh, & please like this post for plots )!
his name is πππ π ππππ. he was born on 20041002 in seoul, & someday, he hopes to become a main/lead vocalist, a singer-songwriter, & full-time hedonist...

daeul grew up in seoul as the son of a religious philanthropist / accountant, & a choir director. his family are devout catholics, & though he never enjoyed having to sit still for long hours in church, when he got old enough, he discovered his love of singing after joining his church's choir. his mother, its director, was overjoyed to see that she had something of a prodigy on her hands. she always bragged about how he must've been given the same musical gifts as her, a "blessing by god himself" if you will.
growing up, he learned quickly that, the likelihood of the people in his life accepting him for who he is was dramatically low, so he adjusted by painting on the most charming face he could, & keeping his real self hidden from them. there's truth to his charm, it's something he possesses to this day, but as a child, it was often amplified & used as mask. sadly, there was nothing more lethal-seeming to him than to be disliked or unloved. this is also something he possesses to this day.
for years, he appeased his parents & never focused on himself. when he wasn't at school or studying, he was working on his vocals, or he was attending piano lessons, or he was at church. all of his time was filled whatever they wanted him to do, & though their praise of him was nice to hear, he realized that it didn't feel meaningful. ever. their love started to feel superficial, & he was partly to blame. without realizing it, he manufactured himself into the perfect filial son, & the pressure of keeping that image up started to feel crushing.
where he truly found himself was in the hallways at school. an all boys' catholic school, at that ( it's giving bare: the musical / bare: a pop opera for all you musical theatre fans ). this is where he fell in love over & over again, where he wrote the best music he's ever written, & where he, strangely, felt more free than ever before. sure, the "freedom" he found was often in the form of sneaking around campus, hiding under bleachers, & staying after hours in the music room to kiss other boys, but it helped him put the pieces of himself together more.
then, he decided to be bold & audition for legacy entertainment. his boyfriend at the time encouraged him, saying that his voice was too good not to be heard on a wider scale, & feeling confident, he put his best foot forward & took a chance. little did they know, the company would decide to take a chance on him, as well. this is where his life changed entirely, & despite still being shackled to the strictness of a highly respected entity in the industry, he still feels more free than ever before. now, his entire life is steeped in music & creativity, & he's ultimately very happy; much happier than he was back at home.
now, how do his parents feel about all of this? well, they don't know about any of his high school shenanigansβthank goodness!βbut in regard to his career as an idol, they're not very pleased. they miss him in church, as he's stopped going entirely, & they've noticed a change in him that they don't think is a positive one. unfortunately for them though, daeul strongly disagrees. he's never felt better. he wishes they were happy for him, but he's learning not to care so much about what they want for him.
no, this new chapter of life, he's vowed to focus on what he wants for himself. please wish him luck on this new journey forward!

as far as plots are concerned, i'd love anything & everything! i'm a sucker for plots that include a lot of depth. as for daeul, he's a fan of a lot of romance. it could take on many forms, be they past or present, & he'd eat 'em all up like they're spoonfuls of lemon & honey.
despite deciding to be more "selfish" after leaving home, he's still a good friend to have around. he's there for everyone he loves. he'd also love music collaborators, duet partners, literally anyone that fuels him creatively, & that he can fuel creatively, too.
i'm sure some of his relationships with people aren't ideal, & he's still rather uncomfortable with the idea of anyone disliking him. he tries so hard to be pleasant & keep the peace ( typical libra sun ), but i'm sure some people can sense that some of that is fake. feel free to give him a hard time about it.
other side of the coin, being that he enjoys the finger things in life, daeul can occasionally come across as snobbish. maybe he said or did something that pissed your muse off, or he came across really disconnected during a conversation; something!
typically i prefer to brainstorm, so as mentioned above, feel free to like this post & i'll reach out to you for plotting. so excited for what we can come up with together!
