hello everyone...!! i'm fifi ( she/her, 21+ ) and i bring to you jungha and hyoseop (zb1riize u are so special to me)! i would love love love to plot with everyone so please feel free to like this post and i'll jump straight into your ims! i always have a twitter and discord available upon request if you'd prefer to plot there!!
i'll start off by introducing my beloved muse, jungha! ex-almost-idol (newave 💔), current part-time tutor & delivery boy who's fluent in korean and ksl!
i have both his profile and bio available but you can find a tl;dr below the cut as well as some fun?? plot ideas!!
profile // bio
fluent in korean & korean sign language! both his father and older brother are deaf, so jungha communicates with them in ksl
really enjoyed music as a kid growing up and dreamt of becoming an idol. his parents, especially his dad was against the idea. they get into a large argument and jungha refuses to acknowledge his dad for weeks.
at 16, his mother passes away. he's devastated.
at 18, he auditions for a company and passes. his father is furious at him, and they fight yet again. they refuse to speak to each other, but only do so when his younger brother gets into big trouble at school. they communicate with one another and jungha's father finally laments, but he tells jungha that he will never truly support him.
he's a decent trainee! gets along well with the other trainees and staff and is known to be friendly and kind. they tell him that he's made the cut to join newave and that they'll be recording their pre-release song 'memories'. jungha is ecstatic. he feels like his dream is finally coming true.
he records memories, and thinks of how amazing it'll be once he finally debuts.
the dream is short-lived. he's pulled out of training one day, and it feels eerily similar to what had happened to him in school, the day his mother passed. the staff inform him that his father is in the hospital.
his dad is in need of a liver transplant, and urgently. he’d gone so long undiagnosed that even the doctors are surprised. jungha is there to sign the whole conversation, terrified by the information that he’s learning. his father had ignored his own ailment, had instead been working longer hours in an attempt to earn more money. jungha feels sick to his stomach.
the doctor explains to jungha that the fastest way to have his father go through the liver transplant is if either jungha or his younger brother decide to be the donor. jungha wastes no time to volunteering himself.
the doctor explains to him that he’ll have to run a few tests, but if the results come back as a match, it’s possible. but he also tells jungha that continuing the life of an idol trainee may be hard for the next few months.
jungha will have to drop out of his company, he’ll have to throw away his one chance at debuting. surprisingly, his father is against the idea. refuses to allow jungha to do this. “you can’t throw away your dream because of me,” he signs. but jungha is stubborn.
it’s fine, he thinks. he’s fine with giving up his dream.
jungha drops out of the company, leaving behind his dream of becoming an idol. maybe it was never meant to be.
the operation, thankfully, goes smoothly. his father never speaks of his idol dream again, but jungha knows that he carries a guilt that he can’t quite explain. he tells his father that it’s alright, jungha is happier this way too – with his father alive and well.
jungha is now a university student, as well as a part-time math tutor and delivery boy. his father continues making his monthly check-ups to the doctor, and jungha continues to strive for a better life.
plot ideas!!!
friends! jungha is really friendly. pretty selfless too, so he'd love to have friends! from uni, or highschool! depending on when they met, they would've known about jungha's stint at the idol life
people that dislike jungha. jungha isn't the type to easily dislike someone but maybe your muse doesn't sit right with him for some reason.
exes! fluff.... angst... anything really please give me exes...
one-sided crushes? jungha has a crush on your muse or your muse has a crush on jungha... maybe he's oblivious, maybe he's not!
newave members that trained with jungha!!
people that recognized jungha ( woah!! ) from the memories pre-release from the time when he was slated to debut with newave
delivery plots! jungha's a delivery boy so he could've delivered something to your muse and friendship ( or more?? ) grows from there!!
✨ hello, beautiful citizens of jongnorp! ✨ how the hell are ya?! my name's ryan (h/h, 25+) and i'm so thrilled to finally be posting one of my eight muses' (yes, i know... i know 😅) intros! first up is one of my all-time favorites, ezra park! he's currently working as an influencer who mostly creates fashion, lifestyle, social commentary, and makeover content, but he'll be expanding his résumé with exciting new projects very soon! 👀 below, you'll find a quick breakdown of his life, as well as bits and pieces of his personality. please 💖 this if you'd like to plot!
1.
to keep things simple, he was born and raised to a rather liberal family in queens, nyc. both his parents made good money, he felt very supported, loved, and accepted, and honestly speaking, he had a rather idyllic childhood. i've written this muse before, but in this update of him, i wanted to give him a less grim upbringing.
however, his brighter history has created new flaws. being that he grew up in a rather privileged environment, it's made him ignorant to many things, and upon moving to seoul, he's been hit in the face with plenty of life's harsh realities. he's on his own now (for the most, part, anyway—his older half-brother is also in seoul), he's starting a career for himself, and it's his first time in a part of the world that's dramatically more conservative than the safe haven he surrounded himself in back home.
is he losing his mind? sort of, but he's doing keep his feet on the ground. he'd love it if you joined him on this new journey he's on!
2.
ezra park is a hedonist. he's someone who'll never say no to another drink, or a second slice of cake, or going home wrapped around the arm of a handsome someone. he's over-indulgent like that, and substantially sensual, as well. he's someone who will catch a man's attention by eye-fucking him across the room, then moments later, appearing only to whisper the most delicate compliment in his ear; hoping that the sweet scent of his breath and the feeling of it ghosting along the other's skin is enough to reel him in for a night of fun.
if there is one thing that ezra park values, it's beauty. why else would he host a show on his channel that highlights attractive men from around the city, mostly by giving them makeovers? why else would he be teaching people how to upgrade their closet with clothing that accentuates their best features? why else would he be interested in ensuring that he never leaves the house looking anything other than immaculate? however, he realizes that, like most things, beauty is subjective, and he aches to discover what others find people, too.
ezra park is an individual, much to the chagrin of his grandparents' home country. he's still not gotten used to the stares of his elders whenever he enters public transit, or the glares he receives from his peers when he's a little too "flamboyant" in a public space, but he likes to think he's learning how to comfortably coexist in a place that doesn't fully understand him. after all, that's kind of all he can do. he made the choice to learn about his heritage and expand his career by relocating, and it's a choice he has to live with now. at least for the foreseeable future.
3.
ezra has a show on his youtube channel where he gives handsome men from around the city (often male models, drag queens, and less often men from off-the-street) to interview and give makeovers to. he asks them questions about growing up in korea, and the knowledge they have on queer individuals, and their opinions on certain topics. in addition to this, he also hosts queer people of korea to ask them, specifically, about their experiences living in the country; hoping to shed awareness on stories told by marginalized voices. these could work as connections!
he's been in the city since february of last year, so it's been around a year and he's likely made some friends! maybe they could be your muses?
he's also likely slept around with plenty of men. he's no stranger to jongtaewon, and even hongdae, so if your muses frequent these areas, they've likely ran into him or ended up in his bed.
does your muse watch his content? do they love it? hate it? have them tell him! it'll be a fun time either way!
i'm honestly down for any and all connections, and this is already so long, so let's come up with something incredible together! 🥺💖
hi everyone! jia here (s/h, also writing for @adrenalinedemo), presenting the one n only:
ALISON JUNG. graduate student unable to write formal emails for the life of her, and doesn’t understand why she can’t use heart symbols like punctuation.
a little baby rundown of her vibes will be under the cut, and if you'd like to plot, please like this, and i'll im you (disc 🆗 too!)
born and raised in vancouver--- yes, she is the queen of konglish. we love heritage speakers! moves to seoul for graduate school after she completes her bachelor's.
doesn't mind being called yirang!!! she introduces herself with both names. most people usu use yirang since it's easier, but alison's the only name on her birth certificate.
would make this tiktok tbh. so maybe she's running from unresolved grief and all her issues. so what!
(not getting too much into the above... pls proceed with caution when reading her dossier/bg and heed the appropriate warning queens!)
recklessly lives life to the fullest. she claims she's just lifemaxxing
chronically online if you couldn't already tell. emails returned between the hours of 6pm-8am have <3 and !!!!!!!! used liberally.
girls girl through and through. even sober, she has the energy of a drunk girl u meet in line for the bathroom. believes in being devastatingly straightforward. be so nice to people! life is short!
pursuing her combined masters/phd in applied maths @ skku. absolutely doesn't act like it when you meet her outside of the classroom, but she genuinely has a passion 4 maths. is also a ta, obvi. a good one, despite all her shortcomings and whatever trail mix has been spilt on the worksheets.
currently looking for a roomie... ooo... u wanna be her roomie soooo bad 🌀🌀🌀 (pls note this will mean ur basc signed up for her sitcommy shenanigans & will become part of said shenanigans.)
hi everyone! jia here (s/h, also writing for @hotncoldz - sideblog!), presenting miss thang:
LEE RIEL. idol (hi/fi 4eva!!!!) struggling with the spotlight who listens to sad girl music while staring out of windows and pretending she's the main character to cope.
a rundown of her background will be under the cut, and if you'd like to plot, please like this, and i'll im you (disc 🆗 too!)
attempt #1 at her debut is... laughable. it's 4 months after she joins her first ever company, and her little 13yo ass with zero coordination? not a chance! it's a good learning opportunity if nothing. she's cut, and moves on.
#2 is just tiring. 2 years, give or take, of juggling her training with academia. her parents, both professors, aren't exactly happy that she's got this silly little distraction, but she's an angsty little 2nd year middle schooler, so they let it slide on the condition she doesn't let her grades slip. the debut lineup's ever-changing and never actually debuting.
#3 is quick and dirty--- she's transferred to a subsidiary of the company, realises she's not a good fit for the concept, and takes her leave to focus on school. mom and dad are over the moon-- if she's able to get into a foreign language high school while doing this idol nonsense, just imagine what she'd do with her full focus!
takes her csats... lives her life... develops her frontal lobe slowly.... and then canvas auditions are announced. she's free this saturday, anyway, so why not kill some time?
when she passes, she mulls it over for a week. brings her decision up over dinner, and her mom flips the table over. they come to a compromise: she'll just try it out one last time, and when she fails, she'll start uni the next sem. take it as a gap year.
except she DOESN'T FAIL!!!! after years of training and very nearly giving up on being an idol altogether, riel debuts as hi / fi's vocalist & visual. absolutely not a dozen ok!!!!!!!!!!!... don't call her that... she's sensitive about it....
born to act cute n kyuuuuuu... forced to be part of hag line. pour one out for riel.
cons of debuting with a slightly more developed brain: more retrospection. is this really what she wanted. she could've gone to a good university. become an english lecturer. instead she's talking to sweaty 40yo men and fighting off dating rumours whenever she looks sideways at someone.
so that's where she's at: absolute misery. she loves being on stage and her members, but has awfully complicated feelings about it. let's yap abt it
hi, everyone! this is autumn (she/they, 21+) and you might also find me at @svnlght ! ♡ and i bring you yet another of my babies: moon taeho, a part time server + university student (major in architecture) that is just trying to make it through (and either be finally loved by his parents or finally let go of his desire for their validation); overall, he's a sweet person with a touch of grumpy and forever dark circles under his eyes. here is profile and here is his pinterest! as always, under the cut there's more details of his bio + plot ideas!
his family is pretty ordinary despite them being sort of rich considering his dad is the ceo of an architecture company and his mom a famous graphic designer, but just weren't much of the parental type.
so when taeho is born out of an accident, they don't know what to do with him but they at least try (not very successfully) until they get tired of that too and taeho is mostly left to his own devices since a little too young.
things don't get better when his younger brother is born as the apple of his parents' eyes, a child that came when they actually wanted one and used the excuse that he was born with a sick body to give him more attention than to taeho (but then things didn't change when his little brother got healthy later on).
so he learned how to be an adult a little too soon and how to look after himself; surprisingly he doesn't really resent neither his parents nor his brother for it and he does love them dearly, would die and kill for them, even if the relationship with his parents is still awkward at best.
was (and still is) a good student with good grades and as much as he just wanted to chill throughout his school years, he still ended up class president more than once and almost if not all of his group assignments he ended up as the group's leader because at the end of the day he's very critical and methodical about things, esp academic work, so he ends up taking charge just so things will be up to his standards. he also has very dependable vibes so people end up relying on him a lot too so in the end he does end up in positions of leadership even if the i in his mbti wants otherwise.
characteristics that he carries with himself to this day. hence why new semester is yet another broken promise that he'll just chill in group tasks and agree with everything.
moves to seoul for university in a way to try to escape the awkward environment that seems to linger whenever he's in the same space as his parents; besides daegu isn't a city that he necessarily sees his life being at so expanding his horizons to seoul seemed like a good idea.
receives an allowance from his parents but still works part time at a cafe to earn money and use as little (if at all) the money that he gets from his parents, deciding to use it only for extreme emergencies.
wanted connections !
classmates ! someone who loves doing projects with him because taeho does most of hard work anyway or maybe someone who doesn't like doing projects with him because you two end up always bumping heads due to difference of opinions and no one is too willing to give in.
rent-a-boyfriend ! someone who is in need of a fake boyfriend for whatever reason (introduce him to their family so they'll be kicked out left alone / impress their in a relationship!friends / they joked about having a bf and missed the timing to say it was a joke so now they have to keep the lie up, etc etc) and for some reason taeho ends up being your guy.
coworkers at cheongsudang cafe ! someone who tease hims for the way he doesn't have exactly the most friendly of the faces even when he's serving costumers (but he's still known as one of the cute servers); someone who sees him off work and is completely off guard when discovering that he has a full sleeve of tattoos since he usually has them covered for work, is also very surprised by the piercings too since they assumed he just didn't seem like the type.
regulars / costumers at cheongsudang cafe ! maybe someone that he sees almost everyday and they always order the same thing so ofc that he's going to memorize their order; someone he realizes might not be having the best day and he's feeling particularly generous so he decides to get them a little baking good on (his tab) the house along with their coffee; someone who sees that he's having a bad day and tries to buy him coffee or whatever instead and as much as taeho appreciates it, he can't really have anything on the clock (but with some insisting, he'll def keep it for his break).
ex(es) / crushes / weird flirtationship that looks more like bickeringship / blind date(s) or not so much blind date(s) / smoking one of us always has the lighter when the other doesn't buddies / anime/manga/manhwa buddies / gym you're the only reason i didn't break my strike yet buddies or even gym rivals to gym buddies / tba if i manage to come up with more of them !
hi there!! i'm bear (he/him) and i'm so excited to finally be able to introduce you all to my boy here, lee woosol! he's a 24 yr old personal assistant to the ceo of a tech company (definitely not his dream job), and a lover of stories and sweet things. here are links to his profile, and bio, and under the cut i'll leave some tldr info about him. please like this post if you'd like to plot, though i'll be messaging everyone with welcomes anyway!
woosol was born in seoul on aug. 31st 1999, he's the second son, but when he was 13 his parents accidentally had a twin boy and girl (that they most definitely could not afford to have)
he was class president multiple times throughout school until he was 15 when he had to get a part time job to help support his family who were struggling a lot with the addition of the twins
despite previously having been smart enough to get into a sky uni, and wanting to pursue writing and literature, woosol had to settle for a mid-level uni due to his grades taking a hit from having to work, and decided to do a business management degree in hopes that he'd get a better paying job to help out his parents with money
he struggled through military service (he's not the athletic type at all) and finished his degree and now works a boring office job doing coffee runs and filing
he hopes to 'work his way up the corporate ladder' and hopefully land a better job in a publishing house later in life
he's got a massive sweet tooth, and eats way too much ice cream and pastries
he has yet to be dragged kicking and screaming into the gym by his boyfriend but he's really close to cracking because he gets winded going up the stairs at work when the elevators full or taking too long
he still lives with his parents purely because he feels obligated to stick around and support them and his siblings, even though his older brother's moved out and doesn't seem to feel the same filial responsibility that woosol does
he's growing increasingly more stressed, and its taking a toll on his health, from living with his parents and siblings, and really wants to move out but feels really guilty about that
of the seven deadly sins he's either sloth or gluttony. this man loves to not move and eat sweets. if he could he would sit in a chair reading and eating rice cakes, pain au chocolat, cream bread and ice cream for all eternity
fiiiinally freeing up some time to work on more of my muse intros—phew! hey, everyone—it's just me, ryan (h/h, 25+) back with an intro for another favorite of mine: avi gellar-cho! he's a muse i've picked up, dusted off, and reworked for this space, and i'm actually really stoked to dive into him. in my opinion, he's really cool. he's a voice actor and now podcast host whose based in korea solely because of his husband—it's complicated, but he's really happy!—and though it's taking him some getting used to, he's stoked to learn more about his husband's culture/home!
1.
avi gellar was born and raised in new york city. his parents operate a kosher bakery that's well-loved in their neck of the woods, and he grew up learning all of the family recipes. while it was never exactly a passion of his, he understood why his mom and pop loved to bake so much. he can taste the love in everything they prepare, and although he's over thirty now, he still feels their love, and they definitely still view him as their blue-eyed baby boy.
as a kid, he learned that he did extremely good impressions of his favorite cartoon characters, a skill that he spent far too much time honing, but it kept him out of trouble, so his parents didn't think much of it. that, and he often made them laugh with his impersonations, so they weren't complaining much either. they thought he was quite the character, and so did his peers at school, who revered him as something of a class clown. he dodged bullying by making everyone laugh instead.
it was a fluke chance, but when his dad saw a listing for an open call looking for voice talent for a new series to be launched on a kid's tv network, he told avi about it and avi auditioned, and out of hundred of others, he landed the leading role in the show—marking the start of his career. (side-note: canonically, i'm claiming that he was the og voice actor for aang of atla. why? because i can. 😆)
he's done tons of voice work over the years, and now, he hosts a podcast about voice work; one where he often has other voice actors from all over the world as guests to talk about their shared craft. as of now, he's living in south korea with his husband, who he met along the way after a previous engagement of his failed dramatically. it's daunting to be in a new place, especially one that's more socially conservative than new york, but he's excited to learn more.
2.
avi gellar is funny. that's something that everyone who meets him can say about him. even those who hate him can't deny that his quick wit and comedic timing aren't near-flawless. some say he could've genuinely gone into a career in comedy, but he refrained from that. he never wanted to be a comedian, and he doesn't like being in the spotlight that much. hiding behind animated characters is more his speed.
he's not only funny, but he's also a rock. he's solid. he works hard. he's someone who works within the realm of fantasy lands and animation, but in real life, he's got a practical edge about him that prevents his head from floating into the clouds too often. since he's been involved in the entertainment industry since childhood, he's got great business sense—typical capricorn sun—and makes strategic financial decisions. it's why his fortune from his youth is still supporting him. he's used it wisely.
avi is a work-horse. his willingness to work is immense, and he'll do all he can to ensure that he and his family are supported. he's not the type to sit idly by and hope other people make change in the world. no, he's someone who gets up and gets shit done. he can be a bit hard on those who don't choose to get up and do the work, but it's only because he genuinely doesn't understand that mindset.
want dad advice? avi's your man. he's still young, but there's a way about him that makes him feel genuinely wise beyond his years. that, and he's not afraid to be a critic; to be more stern with people he thinks can use a bit of a wake-up call. his paternal instincts are rather strong, to be honest, and so is his propensity toward using dad jokes.
3.
i'd love any and all plots for him, idk. i'm much easier to brainstorm with than lay out ideas, so let's work something out together! 🥰
hellooooo again again friends, just me! (lis, she/her) bringing yet another child who has lived in my brain for lord knows how long, bae. below the cut is some quick stuff about bae and some random connections i could come up with but you can find his stats here and his full bio here! just throw a like at this and i'll come attack your im's or discord for plots (:
about.
- the shortest tldr; bae runs an online vintage shop, where he searching through local consignment shops for cool pieces he could take home and bring back to life, even reforming some that are too far gone; though his ultimate goal is to be a fashion designer, creating pieces of his own. he was born and raised in seoul, having lived with his aunt since the age of four after his mother passed away. currently he still lives with her in his childhood home and has a little office space he rents that he uses for his shop.
personality.
bae is a ball of energy. period. he is always on the go, always finding a new thrift store to explore or fabric store to raid. in his mind bae will rest when he is dead and he takes that to HEART. the type of person who lights up a room and commands attention, even without realizing it. bae is friends with all walks of life, loving have people around him but if you do even one thing to break his trust? you’re out of his life without even a second thought.
★·.·´¯`·.·★
possible connections.
- a muse. someone bae feels inspired to create pieces for. could have some sort of crush component to it or not!
- someone in the entertainment industry (trainee, idol, producer, anybody) that bae has been able to get wearing his original pieces or something he's reformed. this friendship may have taken off because bae saw them as someone he could use to get his name out there but maybe they become friends? or there's some drama from it?
- old school friends! bae was born and raised in seoul and has never left so it's likely he crossed paths with people before.
- also literally anything else! this is just what my sleepy brain was able to come up with <3
