➫ 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘:

↪ 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝 - on the outside, ura likes to maintain a very stoic and reserved image. it’s probably due to her lack of trust in others, but if you ever ask her, it’s because she doesn’t want random people bothering her. it takes a lot for her to open up to people, but she’s slowly getting there.

↪ 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 - anger is a common emotion in ura’s life. she’s not one to lose her temper at people and cause a scene, but she does get heated more than your average person. she has no trouble verbally fighting someone if she feels the need to. be careful what you say around her, you never know when she’ll set off.

↪ 𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 - if you’re her friend, you’re her ride or die. she’s very loyal and protective of the ones she loves. she’ll do anything for them and would never purposefully harm them in any way. she’s the type of friend to stick up for you in a fight, but then explain why you were wrong later.

↪ 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 - the grind never stops for chiayu. perfection is what she strives for, and she won’t stop until she gets there. she always leaves her troubles at the door, ready to practice her heart out every day. her determination is inspiring to others and she will always encourage others to work hard for what they want.

➫ 𝐑𝐀𝐏 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌:  Exy

➫ 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘:

↪ 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞: unfortunately, ura never talks about her family and keeps her family life very private. from what others do know is that both her parents were not ready to be a parental figure in ura’s life. there may have been cases of substance abuse and/or neglect. if you ask her about her family, she will say that triptych and other hbh artists are her family, and they are the only family she’s ever known.

↪ 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐭: auditioning for hbh was the start of ura’s new life. once she got accepted, the company themselves flew her into seoul so she could be apart of their company. she has lived in the hbh trainee dorms since she was 14 and was virtually living on her own in korea. her hard work went beyond the practice room. she taught herself korean as fast as she could so she could be more independent and she started taking online classes so she could get her high school diploma. even though she was pretty self-sufficient as a trainee, she owes a lot to the people that were in hbh next girls/next boys. they treated her like family and helped her improve rapidly. 

➫ 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐒:

she almost debuted in Generation 2 because she was lacking in her facial expressions, but she fits Trivium’s concept better.

she’d rather go by her stage name than her actual name

she seems like a cold person and has a reputation in the kpop community for her resting bitch face.

she says that she used to have really bad stage fright, but Cal helped her a lot during her trainee days.

has a pet ferret named Cookie.

she’s been given the title ‘un-idol’ for her general attitude and behavior. she doesn’t really play into the whole ‘fan service’ thing and often rejects the stereotypical ‘idol’ personalities and behaviors.

➫ 𝐌𝐁𝐓𝐈 𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐄: infp

➫ 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘:

↪ 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 -  changmin’s heart is as big as can be. if someone is hurting, he is hurting. he’s fantastic with reading people’s emotions, especially because he’s so in tune with his own. he understands people very well, which probably is what got him the leadership position he currently claims.

↪ 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 -  naturally, van finds himself taking on the parental role in a group of people. he’s always very sensitive to other people’s needs and will go to great lengths to ensure that everyone feels safe. the ‘mom friend’ label doesn’t offend van. in fact, he embraces the nickname and finds it to be a compliment. it’s definitely not easy parenting.

↪ 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 -  in his mind, changmin builds up high expectations for the world and other people. in his world, no one gets hurt and everyone does good things with pure intentions. when these expectations are not met, he gets very disappointed and hurt. one of his biggest struggles is trying to see the world for what it really is, not what he wants it to be.

↪ 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 - it takes a lot for van to come back from something. usually, he’s the one who lets himself down. he’s very hard on himself, striving for perfection when perfection can never be met. it’ll take some self-reflection and a boost in self-confidence for van to get back in the saddle. he builds up high expectations for a lot of things, so when those expectations are not met, he gets a little upset and shuts down.

➫ 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘:

↪ 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞: living in seoul his whole life, changmin always was starry-eyed for big opportunities. he mostly gets these big ideas from his parents. his mother is an astrologist at a local university and his father is a former video game designer. always being taught to shoot for the stars, changmin tried his hand at multiple things growing up. his parents, who adored their only son whole-heartedly, always supported him regardless. when he came out to his family in 2016, they were nothing but supportive of their little star. they continue to be his biggest support system, even into adulthood.

↪ 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐭: changmin was always fond of music and performance, so it was no surprise to his parents when he announced that he wanted to try taking his love for music and turning it into a career. first, he started selling his produced beats to various idol entertainment companies. after being involved with the process of making kpop music, he decided that he wanted to pursue that lifestyle too.during trainee years, changmin was recognized for his rapping ability and infectious personality. he lacked heavily in vocals and dancing, which set him back a couple of years for debut. after showing tremendous improvement, he was selected to be apart of the predebut project group hbh next boys in 2014. 

➫ 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐒:

van is the mediator of Triptych. like all the generations. 

literally makes people hug out their arguments

eats the healthiest in Triptych but eats a lot

loves napping and once slept for like 14 hours

prefers hot cocoa over coffee

wears only sweatpants and hoodies

fans call him a teddy bear because he looks big and scary, but he’s literally the fluffiest and sweetest human ever.

TRIVIUM DYNAMICS

GROUP DYNAMICS:

when they were first formed, their relationship was really awkward. especially because ura was only close to cal. rarely during their trainee days did van and ura interact.

you can tell that they've grown very close by taking a look at their music and performances. their creativity bounces off one another and their onstage chemistry shows that they are professional and in-tune with one another.

once they got to know each other better, they clicked. they are now known to be one of the closest sub unit in triptych. they always share how they feel with one another, something that doesn't come easily to them with other members. 

fighting is surprisingly minimal, probably the least out of any other sub unit in triptych. this is probably due to how open they are with one another.

INNER-GROUP DYNAMICS:

van + cal (CALVAN)

van is the ultimate older brother, and chunghee finds a lot of comfort in that.

cal isn't someone that lets himself open up to just anybody, but with van he knows that he can say what's on his mind without the fear of being judged.

van likes the youthfulness that cal brings to the group and values his insights, even when other people discredit cal's intelligence, he knows just how smart his teammate is.

they are always the first to defend the other. they have an unspoken yet respected pact. 

cal + ura (INTERNATIONAL BESTIES // INTB)

their relationship dates back all the way to trainee years.

cal was always there to give ura that extra confidence boost she needed. basically was her hypeman since day one.

in return, ura would help him with his own confidence, as she would notice how much he faked it during their trainee days.

now they are more than proud of each other and how far they've come. truly supportive best friends.

cal is probably the only person in triptych who isn’t afraid of ura at all and is probably the only one ura wouldn’t slaughter if given the chance.

van + ura (VANRA)

the original big brother and little sister dynamic

ura knows that van has a lot on his plate and allows him to come to her with any stress he may have. van is always there for everyone else, but ura doesn't think many people are truly there for him.

van is constantly proud of ura, especially when she stands up for herself as a woman in the industry. he'll always have her back and he constantly makes sure that she plays a strong role in their group.

he would never flat out admit this, but he protects her way more than she thinks he does. he never let’s her out of his sight at airports and always makes sure she walks in front when they’re in crowded areas. if anything bad happened to ura he’d probably cry.

in general, a very loving sibling-like relationship with minimal arguments.

— CAL

➫ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄: cal

➫ 𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘: korean

➫ 𝐌𝐁𝐓𝐈 𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐄: esfp

➫ 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘:

↪ 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 - always looking to expand his social circle, calvin is a very friendly person. every time he enters a new place, his first reaction is to befriend everyone around him. he’s likable at first, but sometimes his strong personality can get a little irritating. 

↪ 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐟𝐮𝐥 -  chunghee embodies the term ‘young, wild, and free”. he’s not wasting his youth slumping around. he’s always very active and adores playing games to solve common disputes. with changhee, it’s never a dull moment. his childish behavior is either a blessing or a curse, depending on the situation.   

↪ 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 -  even though cal may have a care-free and relaxed attitude, internally he is nothing close to that. he bottles up a lot of his insecurities until they explode from him. sometimes these outbursts do more harm to others than they do to him. his insecurities lead to jealousy and defensiveness when he’s not careful.

↪ 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 -  sometimes calvin has a difficult time remembering that there are other people in this world. his inconsiderateness starts with the small things: not cleaning up after himself; not putting the toilet seat down; not offering water to a sweaty group mate. they’re never intended to be malicious, he just has himself on his mind 90% of the time.

➫ 𝐕𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌:  Cjamm

➫ 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘:

↪ 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞: chunghee is the youngest of three. his older brother, older sister, mom, and dad all lived together in an apartment in london. he’s the only member of his family to be born in the uk, which he claims is why they are so different from him. his family favored a more practical life for their son. they were often over-controlling and limiting. once he started revolting against his parent’s plans for him, the relationship between him and his parents fizzled. he was sent off to boarding school, which didn’t help his rebelliousness. his family never was supportive of his career choice and still are touchy on the subject. his siblings don’t really interact with him anymore, but they’ll call occasionally. 

↪ 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐭: being an idol was something calvin didn’t consider until a girl he met at a party drunkenly told him that he should be a kpop idol after hearing him spit out a few bars in attempts to woo her. the idea appealed to him, especially because he knew it would piss his parents off to no end. after doing some research, he auditioned for hbh that same week. calvin packed his bags for seoul in his dorm room right after he got the confirmation email that he made it through to the next rounds of auditioning. during training, calvin struggled a lot. his biggest obstacle was the language barrier. he spoke minimal and conversational korean at home with his family, but ever since he started going to boarding school, he lost the practice of speaking korean. he had to work twice as hard just to keep up in dance and rap lessons. eventually, after sleepless nights, long days, and the support from the friends he made, calvin was given the opportunity to be apart of hbh next boys, the predebut project group, which then lead to him debuting in triptych.

➫ 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐒: 

still struggles with reading and writing korean, but he’s pretty fluent

he always says that he probably would have gone home if he didn’t meet his groupmates during his trainee years.

he can play guitar, drums and bass guitar.

he still plays pokemon go.

everyone likes his accent, but he doesn’t like it at all.

his accent sometimes comes through when he says certain things in korean. he’s been trying to fix it, but he’s starting to realize it’s pointless.

says he’s probably the closest to Ura out of everyone in Triptych.
