Face Claim: Gong Chansik (Gongchan of B1A4)

He's tall (about 185 cm/6'1") and gangly. He generally looks like he is all arms and legs, but he's actually perfectly graceful and runs into things less than pretty much anyone he knows. He's got dark brown eyes, and generally leaves his hair its natural black. He really cares about clothes and appearances, so he is often very well groomed, and he likes it when his hair is a little bit curly.

Hwangjung is generally the most easy going member of his close friend group. He doesn't get worked up over most things too easily, and he likes to feel calm whenever possible. He plans ahead for just about everything, and he thinks through what he will need to do to do things well. He generally remembers people's schedules, and checks in with them before things. Hwangjung is rather delicate both physically and emotionally. He freezes up easily under certain types of pressure, and he cries really easily. He also gets sick and hurt quite easily, which always worries his friends.

Music is his favorite thing in the entire world, only rivaled by his friends, and they also like music, so it isn't really rivalry. He also loves clothes and fashion, and being up on stage. He has a giant soft spot for children's literature, which led him to read to and with Taijia a lot when Tai was little, and it was his idea to do the one book in each of Tai's languages a week thing.



He hates people who hurt his friends, which is sort of what spurred his dislike of reckless drivers. He really looked up to Yunjin's older sister, and he was devastated when she was killed in a car crash. It makes sense that he has remained really attached to Taijia because of that as well. He isn't that fond of really loud noises or gross things, so he was glad that he was able to find a job in one of the more relaxed bar settings. He really enjoys talking to people and listening to them, and mixing drinks is fun, but the idea of going to the kind of place people tend to go to get trashed is not up his alley.



Hwangjung is downright afraid of not being able to solve problems. He sometimes freezes up under the pressure of sudden decisions, especially if they seem important to him, but he's working on that. He also cries and shows emotion easily, and gets hurt and sick very easily.



He has a few habits. He carries a pen (but not paper) with him everywhere, and when he thinks, he pulls it out and twirls it around his fingers in complicated patterns. He also chews on his lip when he is nervous.

MOTHER
Name: Hwangmin Lee (Shim)
Birth Year: 1967
Occupation: Music Professor, composition
Feelings Toward: Pretty close. Things are a little weird between them about his sexuality, but they care about each other, and she tries.

FATHER
Name: Jungseo Lee
Birth Year: 1966
Occupation: Drama Professor, musical theater
Feelings Toward: Very close. His father was much more readily supportive, though neither of them is great at communicating long distance.

"NEPHEW"
Name: Taijia Lin
Birth Year: 2008
Occupation: Dreams Ent Trainee, High School Student (10th [Mar. 2021-Feb. 2022])
Feelings Toward: Extremely protective and proud. He's encouraged Tai in his love for music, dance, and reading. There's a small part of him that wonders if he could have followed a similar path to Tai, but he also loves what he does, and he's really glad that producing/songwriting gives him a reason to go visit Tai often.

BEST FRIEND
Name: Yunjin Lin
Birth Year: 1992
Occupation: High School Music / Languages (Chinese/Korean) Teacher
Feelings Toward: He looks up to Yunjin a lot, and they're really good friends. Sometimes, he feels very slightly left out of the Yunjin-Sungyong brain loop because he doesn't speak fluent Mandarin, but they're both hugely important to him. While it was always the plan that he'd eventually move out of the house, he's thrilled that he and Jiuk were able to buy the house next door.

BESTFRIEND
Name: Sungyong Lee
Birth Year: 1993
Occupation: Figure Skating Coach
Feelings Toward: Super close, they are in some ways kind of "twins" friends. Sometimes, he feels slightly left out of the Yunjin-Sungyong brain loop, but he also knows that's partially on him. He's glad that he's been able to make sure that Sungyong knows that just because Hwangjung is in a long term romantic relationship now doesn't mean that he's leaving his best friend(s) behind.

BOYFRIEND
Name: Jiuk Robertson
Birth Year: 1993
Occupation: LGBTQ+ Center Secretary, Lyricist (working together)
Feelings Toward: Love, long term commitment. He feels incredibly lucky to have met Jiuk when he did, and he loves what they've built together. He wants to keep on living and working and growing with Jiuk for the rest of their lives.

Hwanjung met Sungyong on their first day of elementary school, and he was thrilled to find someone else who spoke Korean. Later that day, on their way home, Sungyong introduced him to Yunjin, over a year older than them and the grade ahead, and while Hwanjung was momentarily intimidated, the three of them became fast friends before long. Over the years, they basically did everything together. Hwanjung's parents were generally rather relaxed, so the three of them spent a lot of time at Hwanjung's house, and his parents were the only ones who all three boys came out to without really worrying too much.



Both of Hwanjung's parents followed their artistic talents to academic careers, but Hwanjung realized that he loved performing and writing things for actual consumption by audiences very early on. He's started to become a fairly established songwriter/producer, especially working with Dreams Ent, and he's gotten some major praise on demo tapes (which he ropes Sungyong and Yunjin into helping him with because he can't be three voices at once). He sometimes dreams of the three of them dropping their everyday lives and becoming a touring band or something, but he knows that the possibility for that happening was a long time past, and honestly it probably wouldn't have made any of them happy long term, and he's definitely way more into being on stage where people can watch him than the other two. Over the past few years, his songwriting and production career has started to take off, and he's been actually being invited to fly out to Korea to work on songs in collaboration regularly.



He got his bartending certificate as soon as possible after he turned 21, and he's found that he really enjoys the work. At first, he picked it because it meant that he was focusing on a night time job and would be able to watch Taijia during the day, but it also turned out to be really useful in terms of giving him the time to work on music during hours when other people weren't trying to sleep.



After they moved to Cedar Beach where Yunjin had gotten a teaching job, he met Jiuk because Sungyong was working with one of Jiuk's friends. They hit it off, and ended up dating pretty seriously pretty quickly. After a while, Jiuk moved in with him in the house he'd been sharing with Yunjin, Sungyong, and Taijia, and not too long after, the two of them were able to buy the smaller house next door and move in together while still being close to their friends. He's also convinced Jiuk to work on lyrics with him so that they can be a more complete songwriting team, and he's very excited that this has met with good reception, and Jiuk is now starting to be included with him on producing trips as their production team HwangZ.
