PERSONALITY TRAITS: Gentle, Thoughtful, Pure, Loyal, Dedicated, Empathetic, Sarcastic, Polite, Caring, Quiet, Guarded, Private, Awkward, Reserved, Apologetic, Distant

PERSONALITY: Gunsik has a contrasting personality, on the surface he looks intimidating and since he is quiet and reserved many people think he's cold. but actually only his fans realize that he is actually a lost puppy without s because hes so awkward that fans want to protect him. especially because he gets started easily, at the slightest touch and loud noises. in interviews s like to mess with him and give him the mic because he panics and start to use dialect and stutters a lot. so whenever he does a solo interview many fans are proud of him.

but then he has a sweet and gentle soul when you get to know him that actually gives off pure vibes. it just takes him a long time to warm up. he also doesn't use social media much so s call him boomer because he doesn't know any trends or slang. he also has a habit to apologize excessively even when hes not at fault. and he makes sure he bows at everything, there are many videos of him bowing at everyone on stage while s sing for the encore stage. just very polite and endearing despite rumors of being cold.

then s know him as a smart because his sense of humor is sarcastic and a bit teasing. but he only shows when he's comfy, he might show sometimes on camera but usually its s making fun and bothering him and he just let them and stay calm. he always threaten them playfully but never do anything so thats why he is always the target. 

he has trouble expressing himself emotionally and shuts down at intense emotions. he usually keeps it all to himself and is awkward to say his feelings. he can remain calm no matter what is happening, even if hes mad he is quiet and blank faced. when he sees the abuse the members face he doesn't say anything but rather take their place instead and get punished on their behalf. if he can't stop it in the end he just helps to fix their wounds and keep apologizing. he's good at this because he went through it in middle school.

but he cares about s a lot and likes to do skinship with them. being with his memebrs is more fun than alone that he tells fans he hopes esn can last forever. he shows a lot of dedication to anything he does. The members can go to him for anything. He has the ability to remember small details like a friend's favorite snack or a casual mention of a desired item. He'll often surprise them by bringing it along or stocking up on it. If a friend mentions a specific hoodie or item they like, he might remember it months later and surprise them with it.

He likes to go with s everywhere. even the insignficant things like the market he rather go than stay alone. even if its something he isnt particularly interested in, s being interested is enough for him to go. it might not seem like it but he relies on them a lot and supports them alot.

BACKGROUND:  Choi Gunsik had a tough childhood. His parents always fought and yelled. Whenever he cried his dad got more mad so he learned not to and even his talking was delayed. While at home he barely talked and it was the same at school. His grades were good but the teachers often complained about him not socializing enough and they were concerned. Everytime they got the same complain his dad punish him for being a nuissance but it didn't change anything.

In middle school, kids picked on him because he was quiet. They forced him to do bad things to avoid getting beat up like steal and make him their servant. Sometimes, they still beat him up if he did it right. Gunsik was trapped and didn't know how to escape. A few times he got arrested but as a minor he never had much consequence. Just his parents picked him up and punish him on their own. He complain to a teacher but it was dismissed because they are from wealthy families. He liked school because he liked learning and was away from home but now nowhere was safe.

When he was 15, the bullies were beating him up after school and he defended himself by hitting one of them with a pipe on the floor. He was on the floor bleeding a lot and the cops came by convenintly at that time. The other bullies blamed Gunsik for bullying their bleeding friend but it wasn't true. It was clear because besides the bleeding guy on the floor Gunsik was the one with ripped clothes and bruises and bleeding. 

But since they are from wealthy families, they made it seem Gunsik is the monster and he goes to juvenile detention. Their parents paid Gunsik's parents for their silence and at the court hearing his parents didn't even show up.

He ended up in juvenile detention, feeling scared and alone. But then he found BTS's music, and it helped him feel better. Inspired by their energetic performances and meaningful lyrics, Gunsik developed a passion for dance so he started teaching himself how to do it. Dancing made him happy and helped him express his feelings. He practiced every day, even when he was tired.

Gunsik actually liked juvenile detention more than his own home. The others wondered why he was there because he was a good kid that followed instruction well. He got assigned to anger management but really he didn't need it. For the first time he made friends too. He stayed at juvenile detention for a year and got released to his parents. He was heartbroken to see his parents spend all the money on useless things like a luxury car and clothes and jewelry but still live in a bad neighborhood. They didnt seem happy he came back home.

Gunsik ran away from home a few weeks later, he stole some of their cash and took the bus to Seoul. The first thing he did was take a class with 1million, it was his dream while at detention. But then at night he would sleep at a mcdonalds. But he didnt care because he was finally learning dance.

To pay for it he got 2 jobs, one at a public bath and the other at a convenience store. He was lucky enough to have a generous owner that let him sleep and eat at the public bath so he wouldn't get into trouble because she saw he was a good kid. Sometimes she would give advance too to help him pay for lessons or buy him a gift for his birthday like new shoes so he can dance.

Over the next 1 years he improved a lot in dancing. He took classes everyday at 1million and his dance was documented on their youtube channel because he often featured on the videos. Then one day he got scouted by Taekwon who also took the classes a few times to find potential trainees. He befriended him and they hung out a few times and then he was able to convince him to join.
