Impulsive
The biggest boy group with the biggest fandom from the biggest company
Members: Taejoon, Yejoon, Hyunwoo, Daeho (maknae), Chanyoung (leader), Romain
Fandom name: Heartbeats
Stage Name: Taejoon Birth Name: Bae Tae Joon Position: Vocalist, Rapper, Dancer Birthday: 1994 Zodiac: Leo Height: 180cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Yellow, red Favourite Food: Cheeseburger Least Favourite Food: Buckwheat noodles Hobbies: Playing guitar, writing music, working out
Facts: - Group puppy, unanimously voted member with most aegyo and who loves skinship the most. - Before becoming an idol, he played guitar in a fairly well-known underground punk rock band! - Has a tiny soft voice and tends to be quiet, but he’s not shy at all, he just prefers to listen. - Ideal type: someone cheerful and talkative but who is older and who can lead him.
BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - veryyyyyy adhd, always running late and sometimes doesn’t show up at all, but as he’s very popular, it always gets excused. - heavy drinker and huge party animal. Gets very rowdy and noisy, not to the point of being violent but definitely to the point of disturbing other patrons at bars. His hyungwhoring gets turned up to 11 as well, with Yejoon as his frequent victim of snuggles, cuddles and whiny demands for affection. He never remembers it, though, and even when shown video evidence he’ll excuse it as “just a once-off thing” and “you guys are just exaggerating it to be funny”.
Stage Name: Yejoon Birth Name: Moon Ye Joon Position: Main Vocal, Dancer Birthday: 1991 Zodiac: Gemini Height: 178cm Weight: kg Blood Type: AB Favourite Colour: Black Favourite Food: Thai green curry Least Favourite Food: Mushrooms, violently and irrationally Hobbies: FASHION, freestyle dance
Facts: - Even though he’s a year younger than Hyunwoo and Chanyoung, he’s the de facto leader, as Chanyoung, the real leader, is way too soft to actually take control and Hyunwoo simply doesn’t have the drive. - Despite being the main vocalist and one of the best vocals in the industry overall with a unique clear tone and fantastic range, he actually auditioned as a dancer! - Huge variety star, though not on the same level as Hyunwoo. - Well-known for his unique, genderless and often outrageous fashion choices, especially his manicured nails. - “Mother” of the group, but also the “cat” of the group. He switches between “caring and loving to borderline smothering” and “don’t touch me I hate you go away but also pay attention to me and love me” at the drop of a hat. - Ideal type: someone gentle and warm, someone whose presence feels like a hug, even if you’re just sitting in silence doing your own things in the same room, someone responsible and good-natured, someone older and more mature, someone who can understand his work, someone who has a nice smile, someone who is a little shy but not to the point of being embarrassed to be seen together, someone who will do what he says but can also take the initiative… he is very, very picky.
BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - DIVA in every sense of the word. Immensely talented in vocals and dance and even a pretty good rapper, bombastic on stage, but extremely demanding and temperamental. He’s undeniably talented, easily one of the top entertainers of his generation, but even despite that and the backing of the largest and most successful company in the industry, he’s still always in the tabloids for attitude scandals. - Was told by the company to “fix” his tooth gap as a teenage trainee, but he refused and threw a tantrum about it, and now it’s become his trademark. - Used to be very very thin, unhealthily so, and put on a lot of weight in the past few years (even though he is still skinny) both in fat and muscle tone. Even though he objectively looks much better, some people act like he’s stopped caring about his body, and that he should be ashamed of putting on so much weight. He has responded by showing off his new curves (which are barely there, but still, compared to how thin he used to be...) even more than ever. #haterswillsayitsphotoshop - Genderfluid, has some more boyish days and some more womanly days and some both and in between and neither, and doesn’t really care how people refer to him. - In a serious relationship with Chanyoung. They’ve had a nebulous romantic and sexual relationship since their rookie era, but with Chanyoung’s enlistment, he realised how much he really loved him and spent the 2 years Chanyoung was away either moping or working himself to death. To say he was happy that Chanyoung felt the same way and wanted to be with him no matter what is an understatement… even Yejoon’s detractors (of which there are many) have noted how he glows lately.
Stage Name: Hyunwoo Birth Name: Kang Hyun Woo Position: Vocal Birthday: 1990 Zodiac: Libra Height: 180cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Light blue Favourite Food: Affogato Least Favourite Food: Stinky tofu Hobbies: Telling jokes, nagging
Facts: - Impulsive’s variety king. He might only have 5 lines every comeback, but he's hosting 5 shows! - Though Impulsive were popular from debut, they skyrocketed to fame after Hyunwoo introduced the group on [insert funny parody name of Strong Heart] and, more importantly, the “official pairings”, which are: 2joon (Taejoon & Yejoon, Dog & Cat Couple), rodae (Romain & Daeho, Prince & Princess Couple), and chanhyun (Chanyoung & Hyunwoo, Leftovers Couple). It was the first time an idol openly acknowledged and encouraged fan shipping, and was considered both hugely controversial and extremely funny, especially with how blunt he was about simply forgetting to ship himself or Chanyoung and how simple his reasoning for the others was (2joon are very close but have virtually opposite ways of showing affection which makes their interactions funny to watch, as Taejoon is very physically affectionate and Yejoon is a total tsundere, and Romain and Daeho aren’t really that close but Romain looks like a European prince and Daeho looks like a pretty princess). - His nosejob is fairly obvious when you look at his rookie era photos, but he acknowledges it and attributes it to Daeho accidentally breaking it during practice, so he had to get it fixed. - ideal type: someone who listens well!
BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Knows his career as an idol will be fleeting, and is trying his hardest not only to keep himself afloat with all his variety hostings and guestings, but also to make sure his group stays relevant. He’s done more to keep Yejoon out of trouble than their company has, and their company works HARD for Yejoon. - Though you wouldn’t know it from seeing him at work, he actually suffers pretty badly from anxiety. Part of how he copes is through being a motormouth! - The story behind his nosejob is true, except for the part where it was an accident. Daeho had actually just thrown a particularly good punch for a young teen, and one on purpose and in a fit of anger after Hyunwoo had ignored Daeho asking him to be quiet while he was practicing and kept talking loudly with a back dancer. It was a massive internal incident at the time as they had just had two back-to-back chart-topping singles and Hyunwoo is a variety staple and Daeho is by far the most popular member of the group, so it wasn’t as simple as putting either of them on ice. Luckily, that same day, the album production had hit a standstill and they had to delay their next comeback anyway, so Hyunwoo had time to get his nose repaired (and turned into the “ideal” while they were there, which isn’t anything like his original nose, which is why some people doubt the “accident” story) and Daeho got effectively grounded.
Stage Name: Daeho Birth Name: Park Dae Ho Position: Vocal, Maknae Birthday: 1994 Zodiac: Capricorn Height: 171cm Weight: kg Blood Type: A Favourite Colour: Coral pink Favourite Food: Steak, blue Least Favourite Food: Eggplant Hobbies: Reading about true crime, doing experiments on the hyungs
Facts: - The pretty princess of Impulsive and the forever baby maknae! - Very famous for his beautiful, waist-long black hair and his sweet face, he’s considered one of the industry’s top beauties, even over girl group members! - Super 4D, always thinking and saying bizarre things. Combined with his resting bitch face, it can sometimes come off creepy… - Ideal type: none
BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Really, really hates his “pretty princess” nickname. - Hates it when people misgender him in general. Once as a mistake is annoying enough, if understandable given that he cultivates a very traditionally feminine appearance, but he loathes being constantly called a girl just because of his looks, and especially hates that it goes hand-in-hand with people infantilising him. He just likes wearing pretty clothes and having his hair long! - Unsurprisingly, as he debuted at a very young age and does have such feminine looks, he’s seen the worst of society and has very little love for the human race, least of all their fans. He sees them as desperate losers at best and inhuman hordes of zombie scum that should be put down at worst. Really doesn’t see how anyone can like their fans as anything more than ATMs, let alone be as lovey-dovey as Romain is with them. - Maybe started a cult?
Stage Name: Chanyoung Birth Name: Lee Chan Young Position: Main Rapper, Leader Birthday: 1990 Zodiac: Libra Height: 177cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Black Favourite Food: Melon cream bun Least Favourite Food: None Hobbies: DJing, working out, getting bullied by the members
Facts: - Down-to-earth and a little shy, he only became the leader because he’s the oldest, and only became the main rapper because he’s the only one who can rap (or at least could at debut, Taejoon, Yejoon and Romain have all practiced rapping on their own now) but he’s still loved by all as the glue that keeps the group together. - Doesn’t go on variety much by himself because he has no variety sense, but with Hyunwoo’s help, he’s slowly getting better. Mostly by making fun of himself, but still. - Ideal type: Someone who’s bold and confident and can pull him out of his comfort zone, but who has a secret soft side that only he can see.
BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - His past as a hilariously bad, off-beat, flow-less, babyfaced rookie rapper follows him even though he has genuine bars these days. He gets NO respect. - Left for the army earlier than expected after being caught in a drunk driving scandal. The company was more than ready to cover it up for him, being the leader of one of their most successful groups of all time and all, but he was deeply ashamed and wanted to repent properly. He was always the least popular member so not a lot of people cared that much about his scandal or his subsequent return, but he still gets a fair amount of justified hate, even though he’s learned his lesson. - In a serious relationship with Yejoon. They’ve had a nebulous romantic and sexual relationship since their rookie era, but Chanyoung knows how individualistic Yejoon is and didn’t want to tie him down by putting a name to their relationship before going to the army and thus leaving him alone for 2 years, because despite loving him to the point he’d die for him, he wasn’t sure if Yejoon was that serious and felt it was better to let him go and see if he still felt the same way once he returned. He was very relieved to find out that Yejoon did indeed miss him as badly as he missed Yejoon, and ecstatic when Yejoon immediately said yes to an exclusive relationship. But now, the question is… when is the right time to ask Yejoon to marry him? And why doesn’t he realise that Yejoon suggesting and them both getting left side underbust couple tattoos (Yejoon’s: “always on my mind”, Chanyoung’s: “forever in my heart”) is already basically wedding rings?
Stage Name: Romain Birth Name: Romain Min Hyuk Lee Position: Rapper, Dancer, Visual Birthday: 1992 Zodiac: Leo Height: 183cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Silver Favourite Food: Boeuf bourguignon Least Favourite Food: Pickled radish Hobbies: Playing pranks, clothes shopping
Facts: - Has a French mother and a Korean father, but was born and raised in Korea and only went to France for his primary and middle school years. - Was scouted while working as a clothing model. - Impulsive’s “romantic prince”, famous for his somewhat terrifying fanservice: even if you’ve only met him once before, he’ll remember! And then get upset if you mention having a boyfriend who isn’t him. - Ideal type: “our fans are my girlfriends~”
BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - He genuinely is that weird about their fans. Like a reverse delulu stan, he treats every fan like they’re his real girlfriends. On the rare occasion that male fans come to meet him more than once, he treats them the same, but also gets extra jealous around them, like he wants to make sure that they only pay attention to him and won’t be seduced by all his “girlfriends”. - Very, very wealthy. While he’s obviously not a real French prince given, like, the revolution and all, his family is old money and his mother not only old money but also a CEO for a technology company who SG may have interest in... - While he doesn’t care about the members (and other people he knows outside of his idol life) casually using his Korean name (Minhyuk), he finds it deeply uncomfortable when fans do.
