1. [ ㅇㅇ ] ㅠㅠㅠ I agree with you OP, I want him to debut soon with this kind of concept too ㅠㅠ Seriously, he looks so good in a suit...
2. [ ㅇㅇ ] Wow 99 really keeps asking other companies to put him in their music videos lately huh? ㅋㅋ
3. [ ㅇㅇ ] I was too busy paying attention to the Titanium kids ㅋㅋ Who is this guy?
I know there are some clubhouse fans out there, don’t hide, embrace it ㅋㅋ Anyway, did you guys see CHERRY BOMB!’s music video? As always it’s freaking weird, but it’s really good ㅋㅋ But the important part is Hojun showed up in the music video!! I was so shocked when he popped up I had to rewind to double check I wasn’t seeing things ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
He did so good though, didn’t he? ㅠㅠㅠ Even when he was tied up and had to eat jello without his hands... he really worked hard ㅋ
Ah, Hojun, please deliver my pizza too... I promise I won’t kill you like they did ㅋㅋ
POST RESPONSE | [ + 21 ] [ - 8 ]
1. [ ㅇㅇ ] Wowow, If only all the guys that delivered my food looked like that too...
2. [ 호쥬니 ] Seriously, the more I see him, the more impatient I get for his debut ㅠㅠ 99 please... hurry...
3. [ ㅇㅇ ] Ah, so he’s an idol trainee?~ I was wondering who he was when watching the music video but couldn’t find any information. I’ll look out for his debut from now on ^^
And the animal was 99 trainee Hojun~ Being a trainee is hard, isn’t it Hojun? ㅠㅠ
Anyway, he wore an animal onesie for the episode this week because he lost a game last time, but that wasn’t even the killing point. The real highlight of this episode was when the trainees were all bantering and Hojun mentioned he used to do hapkido back when he was a student and ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He showed everyone how he used to stretch for it, all while wearing his onesie ㅋㅋ It was seriously impressive, but why couldn’t I stop laughing...
Does anyone else here even watch Mickey’s Club House? Please... someone tell me I’m not alone... Ah, seriously, Hojun... please debut quickly... ㅠㅠ

2. [ 꿀준 ] I watch it too, OP, don’t worry we’re not alone ㅠㅠ But anyway, I agree ㅋ He was really so cute in the onesie, I couldn’t take the hapkido seriously either ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Sorry Hojun ㅠㅠㅠ
3. [ ㅇㅇ ] I don’t pay attention to trainees so I don’t know who he is, but my friend showed me the clip and wowow... 99 please let him debut...

IDOL PROFILE
NICKNAME(S): duckie
INSPIRATION: her best friends in high school. it really started with them. dancing snow-balled into wanting to perform in front of huge crowds. if it hadn’t been for the small push to come out of her shell, she wouldn’t have found out what she was really passionate about.
SPECIAL TALENTS:
tongue twisters
can answer a question related to one piece, correctly in one try
voice intimation
NOTABLE FACTS:

featured on the 1st season of produce project.
has a studious image relating to her even as a trainee, would be seen doing school work in bts clips or small portions during the show. she showed a lot of self-doubt. towards the end, once she became close with a few girls and they encouraged her, she gained more confidence in herself.
on produce, when it came to challenges she thought she wouldn’t do well on. she would cave under pressure while other girls tried to tackle it head on.
the small fanbase she has formed due her hard working image when it comes to idol life and school.
IDOL GOALS
SHORT-TERM GOALS:
the first thing jinkyong wants to do is have a stable debut. before she could even think of more career goals, she wants to be able to have a permanent group. once her time in pro.logue ends, she’ll be a trainee again. the one thing she wants is to make sure she can finally debut in her own group. once she debuts under company, she wants to focus on being a productive member of her group first. the first few years are the most risky. between pro.logue and her debut, she does want to be on some tv show’s. it would be nice if she could guest on a show like hello counselor or law of the jungle. she’d also like to go on a show that would allow her to show off her vocal abilities more. any tv that doesn’t require her to just be funny on the spot, but something that has a focus so it’s easier to show off her hard work.
LONG-TERM GOALS:
long term, jinkyong wants to be a in a group that will last in the end. a lot of groups fall apart and she doesn’t want the same for her group. she also hopes that they can become trend setters when it comes to co-ed groups since that type of idol group doesn’t seem to work well. pushing on, she’d like to go into acting primarily. she knows she has more of sweet look for a ‘doe eyed’ female lead or the look of playing a little sister but she wants focus on roles that have more of a girl crush feel to them. it’s something that would take her out of her comfort zones. not just acting on tv, she hopes she can also try out voice acting for a cartoon show. given the chance, she’d like to do something fashion wise, even if its just helping look at clothes for promotions with the company stylist.
IDOL IMAGE
when it comes to her public image, it’s one of a hard worker. this had been formed on produce project and it had been her first introduction to the public. at the start of the show, jinkyong managed to keep herself down and a few viewers seemed disappointed in that. thing’s didn’t look well until they neared the end of the show and people could see her hard-work. she had become less self-doubting and at least attempted to do well before became hard on herself. it helped that the show showed would small clips of her practicing late, always asking for feedback. that turned things in her favor and helped her to start to acquire a small fanbase. since then, she had been viewed as a person who never quits. whenever they can meet fans, she often encourages them to keep trying no matter what.
she’s also viewed as a studious idol. at any given time, she could be seen studying. it is also something she talks about often, mainly mentioning her goal of wanting to learn as many languages as possible and wanting to go to college at some point. if the group has a v-live session or she is allowed to a solo one, jinkyong will try and answer’s fans questions about their on home-work. it’s not something that is widely public knowledge but can find post about it on fan communities. mainly her fan base does as a small promotion tactic for her and it’s earned a positive response from non-fans who causally view the post.
while she doesn’t have the image of a ‘happy virus’ fans do find some of her small quirks cute. one mainly being her love for the manga one piece, she’s an avid fan and if asked about, jinkyong could go on and on about it. some find it charming because it’s a moment where jinkyong completely lets go of insecurities and is extremely confident. often, as her signatures for fans she’ll write down a quote she likes and so far no quote as been the same. overall, she’s seen as an idol who’s diligent on improving and overcoming her own personal worries. right now it works and easy for her company to market as long as she shows signs of constantly improving.
she is a little worried about how her groups concept could come off to fans and the general public. she knows she has to be more aware of she interacts with the male members how much she could allow herself to be comfortable with them given how female and male interactions are looked at in the idol world. it’s something she’s working towards being more comfortable about.
IDOL HISTORY
her parents couldn’t wrap their heads around the idea of an ‘idols’. even when her older cousin finally made their debut, jinkyong could remember her parents saying it was a bad idea. a stable job that would allow them to live happily is what they wanted. it was expected that jinkyong would follow them, become a teacher or get a well paying desk job.( or she could even dare to dream high and study medicine.) they had taught her that it was best if she played it safe.
and jinkyong? she did just as she was told. there hadn’t been a reason to not listen to her parents. plus, she did like studying, pouring over books. she was the model student, the model daughter. everything they wanted. until middle school at least. jinkyong was considered ( and considered ) herself painfully shy, she only had a few friends. the small group that reached out to her. it was there she found her best friend and it had been her best friend that convinced her join the school’s dance club. even if it was just to meet new people, she should try it.
and she did.
after her parents approval of course. they did. they hadn’t seen it as a bad thing. not at first. she was a top student, her grades were always stellar and jinkyong was good for her words. if she promised she would keep up with her school work. they had complete faith in her. they saw it as a good why to socialize ( even her parent realized their daughter as a social butterfly. ) it had been with those thoughts that they signed off on it. no one expected the out-come, jinkyong had fallen in love with performing. even if she hadn’t been on the level of her best friend who was amazing. it just felt good, good to go out with her friends and busk. it had felt good to see people cheering her on and even better when they saw improvement. she wasn’t the best but she had been working towards it.
it could be seen in everything, she had the chance to lead the team in a performance or two. it was slow and steady and her pace. it didn’t create a social butterfly out of her, like her parents thought it would but she did make new friends.
that’s when the idea began to grow, she wanted to seriously perform on huge stage. jinkyong had started to find her dream and it lead her to thinking about her future. what she really wanted to do. she wanted to become a person who shone on stage and that’s when it came to her.
becoming an idol.
jinkyong wasn’t sure how to go about it at first, but she knew she had to make her parents see she was serious. there wasn’t a chance they’d say yes and there would be even less of a chance if she didn’t show them she was serious. so, she came up with the idea to form a small dance crew that could meet up once a week and twice on the weekends. between school work and home-work, they performed on the streets of hongdae. that had become a true gate-way, she even go on nights when she didn’t have to perform. nights to simply watch all the artist hongdae had to offer. the indie performers that had chosen to take a different route. it was here she started to become a regular, even learning the names of a few people who always performed, and they knew hers. through this she had found another group of a friends. due to this, there were a lot of long days and some times sleepless nights but even if she was tired, the satisfaction of performing settled in. it had been a wild thought. ( at least a wild thought for the studious teenage jinkyong ) and she signed up her group for a talent show. and she hadn’t even expected them to win, but she knew if she wanted to become a trainee ( and get scouted so she could have a leg up on her parents. ) she would have to put herself out there.
right after it ended, a woman came to her. asking if she had any thoughts on becoming an idol. ( and for jinkyong, it was like her prayers had been answered. ) then came the begging, the constant begging. ( “mom..dad..they wanted me! please.” ) finally, she got a yes but wouldn’t just come easy. now they were even stricter about her grades and where they expected her to be as far as her education.
her presence in her dance club dwindled to almost nothing. even her tips to just hang out with her indie friends and basically come to an end. ( which she almost felt horrible for but her friends encourage her. ) Instead she threw herself into her company, coming home late, forcing herself to finish her home work and then falling asleep in class.
jinkyong barely saw her friends outside of class and even then, her head would be ducked and she’d pour over home-work, wanting to make sure she got enough done. anything so she could focus on herself as a trainee. she didn’t allow herself to relax at home for a bit, she headed straight to her company. jinkyong had been determined to work hard, it would pay off. it had to pay off. it did pay off.
( she thought it did. )
when she joined the company, she had joined as a dancer as that how she had become scouted but after a few months of training, they started to push her towards vocal based lessons. it wasn’t something jinkyong had thought about before she would just dance. it was what she had known. but she had been determined to do well in anything they wanted her to do well. ( she had to do well. ) after a year of training, jinkyong had been selected to be apart of the debut group. this would be the start of her career, soon she would stand on stage. and then a few weeks into planning, while members were being finalized. jinkyong had been cut. ( and it was like a blow to her chest. she wanted to know why. but they had brushed it off. vague reasons as to why she didn’t make. )
there still hadn’t been any thoughts of giving up. work harder, train more, do anything to become a stand out trainee. there was the chance that her dancing wasn’t up to par, maybe her singing or rapping needed work more work. it would be hard to find another company. she should just stay and try again for another group debut. but when her parents saw that a new group was coming out and jinkyong wasn’t in it, they jumped at the chance to pull her out. it was as if they had been waiting for this moment. a chance that would prove them right when it came to her career.
( and she hated the fact that they said they were doing it for it. that they were only thinking about her. that they knew what would be best for her and following her dreams wasn’t apart of it. )
then they would pile on how much they did for her. how they only wanted her to succeed in life. the guilt ate her, was she being over dramatic? was rapping, dancing, and just performing on stage that bad? did really have no idea of how much her parents were trying to save her the trouble? would she just really throw away all of her hard work at school until this point?
( but when it came to the question of she would be happy with the desk job, she wasn’t. she wouldn’t be happy until she truly tried to achieve what she really wanted. )
and she didn’t give up. in fact, it drove her more and now singing had quickly become her favorite way to express herself. now she would sneak off to hongdae to perform again. her skills would have to grow from the ground up again. after a few weeks of ‘pretending’ to be upset and grumpy, she started going back on auditions. she didn’t tell her parents. ( she couldn’t until she she got a call back and then she could beg them to let her. )
finally, there was good news. she got a call from 99 ent. ( and this meant it was time to break the news to her parents. it didn’t end well. it ended in a shouting match and slammed doors. ) they had barely spoken before this but it was worse now. in fact, jinkyong made it her mission leave before they woke up and in her room before they got home. her home felt cold. it almost broke her down, the fact that her parents were disappointed in her. ( and she didn’t even have a debut to feel good about. ) but it happened, they would let her go back to training. ( and it wasn’t out of good will. they told her so. she could go back and it the same thing would happen. maybe she had to live it to see it. ) and they wouldn’t make it easy, she also had to give up everything. she could only go to home, go to school or train at the company. ( it was possible they thought she would break then. )
( but jinkyong was more happy to give it up if it meant a second chance at debuting. )
and she knew she would be in for the long haul, the company so far had no plans for a new girl group. and trainees could be seen coming and going, it was risky but it would have to be worth it. it would be a while before they even thought of debuting a new girl group. jinkyong didn’t mind, she could show her passion. they would be able to see that she was worth it soon enough. it was still an eye-opening experience. maybe training had been easier at her old company, maybe they didn’t push them hard enough. 99 ent had given her a slight insight as to why her old company might have pulled her out for another member. she lacked charm. she had skill, there was talent but she wasn’t charming. it was something she could see when comparing herself to other trainees. ( or maybe it was in her but this was the only explanation she had. ) it also quickly became apparent under koala.t that she wasn’t as great a dancer as she thought she was. she wasn’t horrible by any means but she was average. she’d be able to follow the choreography without trouble. she simply wasn’t at the same level. it was clear to the company that her singing was her best skill. still, they didn’t stop pushing her. she quickly learned that her company had a method to their madness. they knew what they wanted and how she wanted. and it was up to her to make sure she could keep up with everything they had requested.
but after three years and no debut, her parents had had been ready to pull her out again. ( they didn’t see the leaps in progress. how proud she had been once she received just the tiniest of praise from her coaches. they didn’t see they way her eyes lit up at the thought of finally debuting. and she was sure they didn’t care. ) finally a lucky break came. ( lucky to her. ) the company wanted to send her on produce project. it would be a survival and she would have to rep them well. jinkyong was determined too. the start had been rocky, there had a been a few challenge’s that knocked her already low confidence down even more.
it had been towards the end that the jinkyong who hung out with her close friends started to shine. it helped, growing closer to the other girls. she had been able to finally be herself around other’s who weren’t in her small group at school. it translated onto stage, she managed to gain a little support. those who liked the way she worked hard until the end. and this time she did debut in pro.logue. it had been a dream, something that she had wanted for so long. finally, it was here.
( it was also here that her relationship with her parents truly broke. just when would she be that amazing idol she claimed she would be? when would she have a real debut? one that wouldn’t end in a few months time. it was with that last line she simply stopped caring. she was an adult by now, she couldn’t let herself carry any guilt. she couldn’t allowed their doubts to become her self-doubts. it ended with her holding on her dreams. that over finding that perfect desk job they wanted. it ended almost everything. )
there’s still that stubbornness. that need to hang onto what she loved once she found something she loved. now there really was nothing between her and her goal to really debut. she trusted her company this long, one day she would stand on stage debuted in a group by 99 ent even if she had to give up her entire youth.
