Face Claim: Samuel Kim
Felix's growth spurts seem to be slowing down, and he's left standing at 5'9.5" (177 cm) and weighing 130 lbs (59 kg). He has big, sparkling eyes, and a very charming smile. His skin is naturally tanned, and his hair is naturally very dark brown. He tends to keep his hair short, though not short enough it can't be styled. He is growing into his height, and has started having an easier time keeping on muscle. He does have his ears pierced, and though he rarely wears any earrings of his own accord, for lives and events he'll occasionally wear them. He has no tattoos, and, at the moment, has no plans to get any.

Felix was born into a loving family, and it shows in his personality and relationships. He's very friendly and kind to everyone. Although he tends to be nervous about meeting new people, it doesn't show. Instead, he has a tendency to just slowly start opening up to people as he gets to know them. Having been a child model, and having a semi-popular actor for an older brother, Felix is very used to being surrounded by cameras. He goes with the flow, and has a pretty laid-back personality. Probably due to his family's relatively unpredictable schedules growing up, with two kids in the entertainment industry, Felix got very accustomed to going with whatever was thrown his way. Even passing his initial audition was like this. Even when he's extremely nervous about something, (like, for example, going to a country where he barely knows enough of the language to get by) he's very good at hiding it. It's most obvious in his voice, as he'll tend to ramble a lot more and his voice will sometimes shake.

His likes include dancing, food (especially Hispanic foods, but he loves trying new foods), listening to music, learning languages (although he's not very good at it), nature, photography, and spending time with family.

He dislikes corn tortillas, the cold (he really doesn't like Korean winters), mean people, having to go back into the closet to become an idol.

His strength is his family, they've taught him well and he admires and looks up to his family. In relation, his weakness is having to move so far away from his family to pursue his dream. They emphasize they are supporting him from afar, but it's still hard for him.

He holds the secret that he's gay, but only plans to keep it secret while he's in Korea, which he hopes doesn't come back around to bite him. He also hopes (in vain) his fans don't discover his pictures from when he was a model, because that would just be embarrassing. His aspiration is to become successful (maybe not BTS successful, but that'd be cool too).

MOTHER
Name: Lilia Choi-Acosta
Birth Year: 1969
Occupation: EMT
Feelings Toward: Because of her career, Felix has always lived a comfortable life, but wishes he could remember more childhood moments with his mom. Despite this, she has made it a point to never miss an important event in her children's lives.

FATHER
Name: Juan Doyoon Choi
Birth Year: 1969
Occupation: EMT Dispatcher
Feelings Toward: Never afraid to go against the societal mold, Felix's father was the one who taught him to be brave, kind, and patient. Somewhat unexpectedly, his dad was the first adult in his life to fully support him after Felix came out (followed very soon after by his grandpa).

MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER
Name: Ingrid Acosta (nee Francisco)
Birth Year: 1949
Occupation: Retired
Feelings Toward: They've definitely had their ups and downs, as his grandmother was the first to object to his modeling career, dancing career, and wanting to become a trainee, but she always eventually becomes his biggest fan. However, she's still warming up to the fact that he's gay, though she's kept her thoughts to herself (as long as he doesn't talk about it).

MATERNAL GRANDFATHER
Name: Roberto Acosta
Birth Year: 1948
Occupation: Retired
Feelings Toward: Has stood beside all his grandchildren through thick and thin, and Felix has been no exception. Felix loves him, and learned to love others without holding back because of him.

OLDER BROTHER
Name: Fernando Sungmin Choi
Birth Year: 1995
Occupation: Tellanovella Actor
Feelings Toward: Like most brothers, they got into fights growing up, but Felix knows he can always depend on his brother to have his back.

OLDER SISTER
Name: Feliciana Sungah Choi
Birth Year: 1997
Occupation: Nurse
Feelings Toward: Felix and his sister love each other very much, but aren't super close simply because they don't have a lot in common. His sister was always more studious, and would quickly lose interest in anything arts related. She whole-heartedly supports her brother's and their artistic endeavors, but doesn't relate with them well.

(FUTURE) BANDMATE
Name: Tae Seoji
Birth Year: 03/29/2003
Occupation: Trainee
Feelings Toward: Complicated. Felix loves being around Seoji and feels most comfortable with him, but he also gets this weird feeling in his stomach and can't stop admiring him. It's definitely not a crush, or at least that's what Felix will keep telling himself.

(FUTURE) BANDMATE
Name: Song Meri
Birth Year: 05/13/2005
Occupation: Trainee
Feelings Toward: Felix and Meri aren't super close, but Felix admires Meri for being able to hold so many languages in his head while Felix occasionally forgets words in Korean and Spanish.

(FUTURE) BANDMATE
Name: Taijia Lin
Birth Year: 08/01/2008
Occupation: Trainee
Feelings Toward: They're close, but Felix also holds some sort of idolization toward the kid. He remembered during the training camp, he was in awe of Taijia's talent versus his age, but as he's gotten to know Tai better, he is starting to see the kid under the talent, and protects Tai instinctively.

Felix was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina to two loving parents, as well as an older brother and older sister. He was a child model from ages 5-10, but eventually quit because he stopped liking it (His brother is actually a moderately popular tv star in Argentina). His brother had been a model since before he was born, and became an actor before he reached the age of 5, and because of that on top of his own modeling career beginning at 5, Felix is very accustomed to being in the spotlight, which gives him a bit of an advantage when considering his desire to become an idol. He is very passionate about dancing, and fell in love with it after catching an episode of Bailando por un Sueño - or "Dancing for a Dream," Argentina's version of Dancing With the Stars. His parents let him start taking classes at a dance studio when expressed a desire to quit modeling for dance, and he became the youngest in the class at the time, but he loved it, and his class became like his family. For the heck of it, he decided to audition for Dreams Entertainment. He wasn't expecting to make it, but was actually very thrilled when he got the call back. His parents were both worried for and proud of him, as they've never let one of their kids go that far away even for a little bit, so they didn't want to think about what might happen if he makes it through the training camp.

Although he's half-Korean, he's only just began learning the language when he passed the auditions, so he's not very fluent yet and nervous about... well, everything about Korea. His dad had never even been to Korea, and his paternal grandparents passed away before he was born. So he never got to learn about his Korean side and so even though he was really excited to get this opportunity, he was also extremely anxious about it. Especially if his English learning is anything to go by, the amount of progress he's made so far in Korean is actually quite impressive.

The hardest thing for him, even over adapting to the unfamiliar language, culture, and food, was to go from Argentina and being able to be open about his sexuality, to going to Korea where suddenly, he has to be closeted again. His family already knows, and his close friends back home know as well. He's had one relationship already that was mutually broken off as they entered different high schools.

Felix has since gotten into a schedule, and feels at least a little more comfortable in his new home country and in the language. There are still some things he misses about Argentina though, which he tends to try to keep at bay by talking with his friends and family back home, hanging out with Elena, and convincing his family and back-home friends to send him care packages.

Graduated from SOPA in February of 2022 as a practical dance major.
