hi everyone and sorry for the slight delay on the intro post! thank you for all the welcomes iāve gotten so far and iāll be reaching out for plots and everything shortly after i get this up!!
u ever get absolutely steamrolled by a muse and have to find a place to put them? thatās what happened to me with seongbin here... so iām joining wishing stars for the first time so i can let him live the life he absolutely DEMANDED of me!
iāll put a tl;dr version of his info under the cut (and a few plot/relationship ideas as well) but in the meantime, his profile and career pages are already up for your reading pleasure!
so a bit of a tl;dr summary of one mr. hwang seongbin:
basically, he grew up somewhat spoiled in the sense that heās never had to work hard for anything unless he really wanted to. only child, received lots of love and attention and support for whatever hobby or interest he had. just happened that he had an aunt who lived in los angeles, california that he went to live with during middle school (his choice, he wanted an adventure) and he fell in love with hip hop and rap music, started to dance and rap, and then his aunt introduced the idea of being a singer in korea to him and he was all in on that.
heās actually a very talented guy! and quite dedicated to his craft, but fortunately or unfortunately (depending on your perspective), itās always come easy to him and never felt like hard work (maybe because he was enjoying it too much and never had to struggle or suffer for it). so heās got this idea in his head that heās just naturally better or more talented than everyone else.
probably didnāt help that he appeared on high school rapper in 2018 and made it to the finals despite having very little competitive or tv experience and was signed to yuseong ent. shortly after. he was a little bitter he didnāt win first prize, but when he was almost immediately put into a debut lineup with phoenix, he quickly forgot about that.
phoenixās main rapper and lead dancer since their debut in 2018! depending on how tolerant your muse is, he might not be the easiest guy to get along with. heās not very good at hiding the fact that heās pretty cocky and full of himself and can be a bit patronizing because of that.Ā āwhat do you mean youāre struggling with this choreography? itās easy, see? *dances (almost) flawlessly*ā, that sort of attitude. heāll help his teammates but heāll act exasperated about it the whole time and never lets anyone forget that he only trained for three months before he was considered debut-ready; i donāt think heās ever said it outright, but heās probably implied that that makes him better than his members.
heās not a bad guy, but heās not the nicest either, as you might be able to tell. heās fun, has a good sense of humor, and thereās really nothing to complain about as far as his work ethic goes. but heās not exactly.... likable.... to some people.......
also was part of D4NC3RB01 with cha bomin, but was super flaky and unreliable since most of his time with the group he was either on high school rapper or training at yuseong, both of which he prioritized over a little dance crew with friends.
some plot/thread/relationship ideas!!
would love to see him with some ex plots... maybe it was a very short-lived fling, maybe your muse realized that heās more in love with himself than he was with your muse. this would take a bit of plotting to figure out specifics, but i think itād be interesting to explore: a) seongbinās selfish side where he really only used your muse for attention and feels no guilt/regret about the breakup or b) someone that seongbin actually really liked but screwed it up by being... himself.......Ā c) messy exes are also always fun and as much as i donāt condone his behavior heās not above using others for attention/validation
newer idols/trainees in yuseong who mightāve been signed around the same time with even though he debuted so much sooner than the rest of them. maybe could be a rivalry plot? heād absolutely hold it over someoneās head that heāsĀ āso much betterā than them for what a quick and easy path to debut he had. alternatively, someone who isnāt bothered by his attitude (or acknowledges it) that can just be a friend who tries to keep his ego in check?
Ā ALSO newer idols/trainees who were signed after phoenixās debut who mightāve been a fan of seongbin... you know what they say about never meeting your idols.... maybe your muse was very quickly disappointed by his off-stage attitude (being cocky and confident makes for great entertainment on-screen but is so annoying off-screen) OR is still under the illusion that seongbin is a good person :ā)
another muse whoās better at something than seongbin is. could be almost anything: heās not a strong actor, a decent singer but not the best, better at a certain sport, certain instrument, anything. hell, it could be the fact that your tiktok got more likes than his or something equally petty or inconsequential. he hates the fact that heās second place (or lower) in anything. could either be a friendly rivalry where your muse is actively helping him improve in whatever skill they have, or a less friendly relationship.
someone older/more senior than seongbin who actively tries to warn him about his behavior, rein it in, and maybe act like a mentor figure. seongbinās not going to be an easy one to teach to behave (especially since he hasnāt gotten in any significant trouble so far), but you havenāt given up on him yet! someoneās gotta save this kid from himself.
