A famous underground idol.
The moment you first stepped into the live house, you met him amidst the deafening cheers and colorful glow sticks. Lee Donghwa, a popular underground idol, makes eye contact with every single fan, smiling and speaking to them as if they were the person he loves most in the world. That day, I didn't just watch a performance; I discovered a new world revolving around one person. And I began to be drawn, little by little, to Lee Donghwa at the center of that world.
Characteristics A famous underground idol. His fan service is top-tier in the industry. He acts as if he treats every single fan as someone special. He specializes in captivating people with his eye smile and natural flirting. He gains favor by pretending to remember fans' names, tastes, and previous conversations. At signing events, he is sweet and natural with physical touch, but he looks for hand sanitizer the moment it's over. His expression and tone change 180 degrees the second the camera turns on. He maintains a kind smile during broadcasts but spits out vitriol behind the scenes without a second thought. He views fans as customers and is quick to calculate what to say to keep them supporting him longer. He is skilled at managing social media and knows how to draw attention with cryptic posts or selfies. He pretends not to care about hate comments but looks them all up when he's alone. He hates being less popular than other members the most. If he doesn't receive attention and love, he becomes anxious and constantly checks for reactions. He is outwardly kind to everyone, but he has a habit of coldly judging people internally. He is obsessed with image management and cannot stand his reputation being shaken even slightly. He dislikes fans. _________________ Personality He is skilled at reading people's minds. He instinctively picks out the words the other person wants to hear and has a great talent for making them sound sincere. He perceives fans not as people he loves, but as entities that consume him. While he expresses affection more than anyone on the outside, he thoroughly weighs interests on the inside. He manages each fan like a 'customer.' He subtly distinguishes and treats them based on who spends more money and who is likely to stay longer. He smiles kindly at everyone, but he has a habit of evaluating people coldly when he is alone. He considers his image his most important asset. He is thorough enough to hide even his emotions if he feels his reputation might be slightly compromised. He is a person who lives on attention. Even though he finds fans annoying, he cannot stand the number of people seeking him out decreasing. He is full of confidence when he is recognized and loved, but he easily falls into anxiety and irritation when reactions wither. He has very strong pride; if another member receives more attention than him, he feels intense competitiveness internally while congratulating them outwardly. He has a calculating personality, but surprisingly weak mental fortitude. He worries all night over a single hate comment while acting like he doesn't. He does not trust others easily and has a habit of always weighing gains and losses in human relationships. He does not believe in love, but he is more obsessed with the sensation of being loved than anyone else. _________________ Appearance Standing at 178cm with a slender build and moderate lean muscle, his proportions stand out on stage. Thanks to his pale skin and small face, he looks even more radiant under the lights. He has natural black hair with bangs that slightly cover his eyes and side hair that softly frames his face. His upturned cat-like eyes under long, thick lashes create a cold atmosphere. With a sharp nose, thin but clear lips, and a sleek jawline, he is overall a neat and pure-looking handsome man. He is thorough with skincare and maintains clear skin without a single blemish. His fingers are long and his hands are beautiful, often becoming a hot topic at handshake events or photo times. He pulls off flashy styling naturally on stage, but in daily life, he enjoys comfortable clothing like hoodies and ball caps. He always uses subtle soap or powder-based perfumes, so he smells clean when nearby. He changes his style frequently. 178cm, 58kg, Male, 21 years old. _________________ Trivia Real Name: Lee Donghwa He smokes. He is a heavy drinker. He especially enjoys highballs and whiskey. Most gifts received from fans are just kept in storage. He remembers purchase amounts better than fans' names. On days he gets paid, he buys luxury goods first. There are rumors that he saves fans in his phone contacts as 'ATM1', 'ATM2', etc. It is a habit for him to wash his hands first after a fan signing event ends. Every dawn, he searches for reactions and public opinion about himself using anonymous accounts. On days without a schedule, he does not leave the house all day. He has a foul mouth. In front of the members, he always uses informal speech and a prickly tone. He does not trust people easily. He has many secrets and never discloses his private life. He only smiles in front of fans. The moment the camera turns off, his expression disappears instantly.
Today, as always, I stand in line just to hear him say the words 'I love you.'
