bio - profile - plots - inspo
hiiii i’m lia (they/them, 21+) & i’m here to introduce 75th floor (sea side) resident singer-songwriter SON HWIYEON, who is far better known by her stage name wooyeon and her one (1) pop song called “lipgloss” that went internationally viral years n years ago and kind of became a meme ( think like rebecca black’s “friday” and crj’s “call me maybe” 😭 )
her secret is that she was in a secret relationship with the daughter of her previous recording label’s ceo & is now plagued w/ imposter syndrome bc of it ! she basically went like Wait , is favoritism the only reason i keep getting green-lit for albums....and freaked out, so she broke off the rs and parted ways with the label, and is now with a new label & making new music. unfortunately it’s been a year now and the syndrome still persists 🤕 bonk
her links will be above when i’m done with them, but for now there’s bullet points & plot ideas below the cut ! if you like this, i’ll msg u for possible plots, but im v chill we can just figure out a starter and see where chemistry goes if you’d prefer <3 thank u sm for reading this far already !!
profile
son hwiyeon, stage name wooyeon
23 yrs old (‘99)
hails from goseong-gun, south korea, where her mother & father settled in their youths (their own parents didn’t approve of their relationship lol). her mother had plans to move back to the city someday or possibly even travel somewhere else in the world, but then baby hwiyeon came into the picture and money just became too tight, so they stayed there all throughout her childhood
agender, doesn’t mind whatever pronouns people use for her but really doesnt have the energy to explain Her Experience Of Gender to everyone she meets unless they already #GetIt yk? so she defaults to she/her, but in her brain her pronouns are just noises tbh
in writing, i don’t mind whatever pronouns you use to refer to her either!
background
heavily inspired by miley cyrus’s character in that black mirror ep rachel, jack, and ashley too
was an unplanned pregnancy that stopped her mother from following her dreams into stardom & her mother never stopped reminding her of that ! which led to.......deep seated issues abt wanting to be the perfect “”daughter”” to make her mother’s sacrifice Worth It and it consuming her identity and it now bleeding into her frenetic work ethic and slowly corroding her from the inside and causing her to be both resentful and guilty for being resentful and resentful for being guilty for being--- u get it .
genuinely can’t remember if music was something she always liked and wanted to do, bc all of her formative years were p heavily influenced by her parents’ ambitions
they used to arrange yearly trips to one of the big cities, specifically when talent companies would hold auditions ! to her mother’s Great Consternation, hwiyeon never had the right personality to be scouted for an idol group, despite all the online classes and workshops she’d put her through to get her image down lmao
missed out on some fun typical teenager activities but tried not to complain bc her parents spent so much money on them and they take so much time right.....so she’d go, but over time she started getting all ( crumples paper ball and screams into it ) about it, but god knows she couldnt tell her parents that either!! eventually her teachers noticed her getting Tense and one of them was like Hey (nervously) Why don’t u try writing ur feelings down instead of snapping at other kids ?
it was like magic!! started filling up journals with furious scribbling. she’d start sharing them with her teachers during warmups, but the really angry ones, she’d keep until she had a day off to go down to the beach and scream it to the ocean . healthy coping <3
one of her teachers happened to have connections with a talent agency and referred her there bc ~potential~. on one hand, yay! but they started having to travel even Longer distances for auditions and her mother got even more particular about dolling her up and she started having to worry about demos and headshots and-------
so you are 17 yrs old and full of spite. you were going to grab lunch with this one girl u really like, but then your mom says No, u have an audition to practice and it’s that weekend so u won’t be home anyway. what do you do ?
she says Okay :). but she puts together the worlds most heated and hateful song about how long she takes to get ready before every audition and especially the annoying ass lipgloss she has to put on and she sings it at the audition that weekend and feels very gleeful about her parents’ horrified faces in the crowd
but guess what??? the manager fuckin loves it. they sign her on and suddenly its a whole whirlwind of changes and hwiyeon is mortified by this mf song but her parents are so happy. they’re ecstatic. and isnt that what she owes them?
over the next several months she’s meticulously groomed for her very own popstar debut. they make her stupid demo about the stupid lipgloss into a stupid song, and then they film a stupid video and give her a different name and release it.
it’s mediocre at best. then a commercial picks it up and somewhere across the globe, the right Internet User finds the commercial video, goes Lmao what is this song, finds her video, happens to share it.......and before long, it starts going viral . her manager and her parents r rejoicing but she is sitting there like @#*$&#$#&@&@#&&$
career
atm i’d say her “fame” is like....she got a lot of money from the initial popularity and it has carried her subsequent releases enough that she’s pretty cushy now. but in terms of recognizability, i think people are more likely to either remember the song but not her, or recognize her more likely for the lipgloss video as wooyeon rather than hwiyeon
after the song took off, the company worked with her to release an album just after her 18th bday. w/ the international “success” of lipgloss, they targeted international platforms too and were p successful too, though ofc not to the degree as lipgloss
released a 2nd album when she was 19, then a 3rd at 21, all with songs produced and approved by the company ofc. got involved with the ceo’s daughter around the time the 3rd one was being planned and it helped her get through having to sing those cringey songs tbh
she’s been on a small ✨tour✨ but again v teenager-oriented, like early 1d concerts
she’s not clueless, she knew nothing they were releasing was getting as popular as lipgloss ever was -- even when the company tried some tiktok tactics to get her newer songs to go viral again. honestly, she doesn’t know why they kept her around after the second album was a relative Flop, but....in hindsight now, she wonders if her having that relationship was the only reason she got further into her career and not her actual voice 🤕 like....she knows her releases were mid. but she wasn’t, by technique, a bad SINGER .........
so she left that recording label last year n signed with a new one, then released her fourth album earlier this year, aka her first foray into alt rock/grunge!! and this time she used only songs she had written. my sound inspo for it is miley cyrus’s plastic hearts & willow’s lately i feel everything albums !
it got mixed reception, mostly bc her established fanbase didnt know what to do with it and she didn’t have enough reach in the new genre to make it far lol. received a lot of comments from concerned and angry parents about her “turning rogue and wild and [fill in the disappointed blank here]” including her own!
but listen at this point she’s so tired of performing for literally everyone she knows!!! she doesn’t want to be just known as “the one who sang that lipgloss meme song” anymore!!!! she does really love music and she’s going to reclaim it for herself dammit!!!! this is her first step to that!!!
recently moved to noeul gardens to be closer to her new label and currently minding her own business. mostly it’s writing more songs but she’s kinda interested in videography too, kinda interested in cross stitching, kinda wants to learn how to ice skate, kinda wants to start indexing seashells...really who knows, her options are endless now ! even if her voicemail’s full of her parents’ angry calls and tabloids are still running headlines about her being one of the industry’s Lost Causes . hey, out of sight out of mind <3
plot material
god i’m sorry this is already getting so long but i’m hoping these can make coming up with plots easier T_T
loveeeees food, loves trying new food, loves finding out what food she has allergies to the hard way
v extroverted so if your muse needs help getting out of their shell, she’d b perfect for that
when she’s tired she prefers to spend it alone bc “if im not wild crazy witty fun who the hell’s gna want to hang out” but it’d be nice if someone can show her they dont need to do anything super crazy to have an enjoyable time 😭
v v passionate about music and writing!! has access to a recording studio and loves messing around aimlessly with tracks, so if anyone’s interested in music too n would need access to one....hit her up
sense of boundaries are kinda whacked and is v casual about helping people out even if they’re strangers, so if your muse is stranded someplace one night or something, she’d randomly front a cab fare for them like “and if u need me to ride with you to make sure u dont get murdered lmk.” if you’re friends she will probably roll her eyes as she’s bailing u out but it’s like . Affectionately
i’d love for her to have some lgbt+ friends plz!! she’s used to keeping most of her love interests private but having someone to text about the hot lady who said 1 word to her on the street today would be nice right....in return she will be ur best and loudest hypeman ever
she’s often walking around the marina for inspo and for downtime in general so if anyone wants to go out and get street food and rate yachts as they stroll down .....
someone she can go out to karaoke and scream-sing with
industry enemies/rivals!! fellow musicians who think her success was simply given to her? someone she beat out at that audition ages ago? someone who was supposed to get a song that she got instead? etc etc!
mutual secret knowers! which could go in any direction, but for her part, she’s more concerned about keeping hers to protect her ex’s identity
smth smth fake dating . please. would like it to remain platonic, unless your muse is nb / fem presenting and smth shifts later and we plot it out more in depth (though i think that’d still be a p distant thing), but i’d love a dynamic where they’re both forced into this arrangement for personal reasons for both of them yet they end up actually getting p close!!
conversely someone she’s linked in a scandal with that has absolutely no truth to it and they both resent, but the media will Not leave it aloneee
someone who’s got a song written for them in her latest album
anything else our evil brains can come up with tgt <3
once again i am so sorry this got this long, if you got this far thank you and ily
