Why I joined S.O.S: The camera plays a short montage of clips of his intro tape, then cuts to the actual SoS hopeful who bows and introduces himself. “Hello, I’m Kim Hyunsoo, student from Busan. I’ve always wanted to be an entertainer ever since I saw a rerun of Show Me the Money on Mnet. I was also in a dance club at school and practiced choreography of the old idol groups like INFINITE and EXO, it was hard to do that while taking classes in preparation for university, but it was definitely worth it. I’m very honored that this company has invited me for tryouts! I will do my best!” He bows to the camera before it pans to the right to where the stagehand gestures for him to enter the audition room.

Charming | Competitive | Greedy | Dedicated | Anxious | Self Doubting | Attentive | Smart | Withdrawn | Analytical

tl;dr Personality shaped by fear of people’s judgement

Once upon a time, Hyunsoo was the very definition of an asshole, the kind that mothers warned their children to stay away from, coincidentally the same kind of bad boy that girls were drawn to for some unfathomable reason. He’s improved from that dark age and is now much more friendly to people, his charming, suave manners rapidly winning over strangers to his side. Why was he so bad in his early days? His self doubting nature fed by his social anxiety (is that person judging me?) resulted in his overanalytical tendencies that are on the borderline of neurotic. In order to prevent anyone from criticizing him, he pays especial attention to detail and dedicates himself to any task in order to outcompete people who have just the slightest chance of outshining him. He’s unfortunately greedy for the spotlight, but has since improved upon that flaw after entering high school and meeting good influences in his life. In present day, he is a smart individual who is much more privy to the emotions and needs of people around him, yet retains his fear of disappointing everyone.

On stage, he's more of a "cool" figure, his icy stare into the camera the kind that makes girls scream and jump in the crowd. He dresses like a bad kid for most of the performances, hair never permed to look cute. At panels, he doesn't do too much talking, but when he does comment, it's usually a funny addon to someone else's replies. Fans should know that he works very hard and practices extra hours in the mirrored dance room if he's not writing new raps.



H I S T O R Y


Kim Hyunsoo was born to parents in the middle class that barely scraped together a business living in the city of Ulsan. They worked unglorious day jobs that were supposed to be 8 hours in length but usually exceeded that pitiful amount on a daily basis. Hyunsoo was brought up by his grandmother while his parents were busy and at an early age wished for lots of money so that his parents wouldn’t have to work anymore. It was this humble upbringing that fueled his desire to work as hard as possible at school so that one day he could land a job after university that would earn him enough wealth to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

Thus, the workaholic lived by the book, burying his nose in texts and redoing every single practice problem three times in order to be at the top of his class. He earned top grades, received numerous accolades for his impressive academic achievements, and took top seat in the school orchestra, but it was a poor trade for a life without many friends or relaxing hobbies. He ended up moving up to secondary school in an entirely new district in Busan when his parents moved to the bustling city for work.

This was his chance to be cool, to cast away his bookworm image and be accepted into the in crowd of people who wore only the best clothing and ate at top dollar restaurants, and so he took upon this new challenge of redefining himself with feverish glee. First day at school he became the “mysterious transfer student” with his ulzzang looks and lofty attitude that would have cost any other kid their entire circle of friends. Having none, he gambled on playing the role of an asshole douchebag princeling and somehow it worked out in his favour. He made “friends” and entered social life as a hard to please abrasive person.

Then he got into rapping. The form of expression was so liberating, it changed him completely. Almost completely. It made him less of a douchebag as he could channel his frustrations and anxieties into truthful lyrics that earned him a reputation as a fairly good underground rapper. The exhilarating world of dance evened out his childish judgemental tendencies and helped him to meet good people who guided him off the self destructive path he’d set out on. Gradually, he became more of a benefit to society and had a little solid circle of supportive friends. But then there was the problem of pursuing higher education in university… he hadn’t gotten good enough grades in his final two years and universities probably didn’t want him anymore… it was a quagmire that he couldn’t escape… unless… he auditioned for that one Save our Seouls company, kpop hadn’t exactly been his thing, but he did follow a couple of their more successful artists… maybe he’d try? He rapped, danced, sang a little, and above all, looked good even before makeup and plastic surgery, so maybe he could wow the scouts with his inherent talent?

He was so very nervous while waiting backstage, waiting to be judged, waiting for his future to be decided. He gave a short performance of a cover of a hit from a few years ago, including the rapping section that he had stressed so much about, and then was inducted into the trainee program. He has now spent years behind the scenes training his voice to be able to sing vocals in addition to his rapping. However, he had to take a small break as he served in the RoK Army and is now trying to get back into the groove. 

To his surprise, after being inducted into SOS Ent, he found that his new partner was someone he knew back from Ulsan, a little kid who was had always been in the shadows, a pushover, not much of anything at all. But now, he was a lot different- And then the two made a great debut-
