next!

hello, thank you for taking the time to read this carrd! my name is elli, and i live in the EST timezone. i work full time and frankly don't have the same time to dedicate to twitter that i used to, so i cannot guarantee that i’ll be online everyday, or even every week. tl activity =/= dm activity, but i will try to reply as quickly as i can. i can be more easily reached on discord for ic/ooc interactions at chouxlala.♡ this muse operates on a selective basis, so please only follow if you plan to plot and interact with sunnie! likewise, if i do not feel that your muse fits into what i would like to do with mine, i will likely softblock. i regularly clean out my f/f, so if i softblock you and you still would like to interact, just follow me again and reach out to me!
♡ not to sound like that person, but sunnie is very famous, both as an actress and a musician. even if it's not recognition from her 15+ year idol career, if your muse has paid any attention to television or movies over the last two decades, they’ll recognize her. i do not appreciate her accomplishments and hard work being diminished.
♡ i am a sucker for plotting, and prefer pre-established connections over first meetings. i have some plots on my doc, but i’m also down for brainstorming if nothing fits!
♡ while i don’t mind chat threads, i do have a preference for literate threads, either in dms or on discord.
♡ sunnie is an asshole. her opinions are not mine, her drama is not my ooc feelings. if you have a habit of interpreting ic drama as ooc feelings, you might want to sit this one out.
♡ both mun and muse are 21+. i do not smut, fade to black always. i do not mind interacting with minors, just be upfront about it!

trivia!

♡ sunnie was previously a child actress, starring on american disney channel for several years, and korean dramas and movies from 2000 onward. she was often praised for her skill and potential to be a breakout star that would maintain her fame through adulthood.
♡ she has a positive public reputation from her childhood that still remains to this day, and she’s often called the "nation's angel" by longtime fans. this has led to a lot of fans rushing to her defense when she gets into attitude scandals, claiming that she could never act in such a manner or that she was justified to do so.
♡ her teenage years were filled with many attitude scandals, with one of the largest revolving around jade’s removal from the group, with l:oveless antis accusing sunnie of driving the member away. during this time she was called a bratty diva, but as time has passed and she has matured, ‘diva’ has become a complimentary term.
♡ frequently stars in dramas/movies, and appears on variety shows during lulls in her and l:oveless' schedules.
♡ known for being loud. her singing voice tends to carry much further than the rest of l:oveless, to where group lines are dominated by her voice. ‘inside voice’ is a concept that doesn’t exist for sunnie. her speaking voice is the verbal equivalent of caps lock.
♡ during L:OVELESS' announced hiatus, sunnie spent over a year in an american rehabilitation center for her eating disorder. since returning, she's vocally anti-beauty standard, constantly calling out those who criticize her/other female idols for fluctuations in weight.
♡ still displays unhealthy eating habits-- 'forgetting' to eat, binging on low calorie/low fat foods with little nutritive benefit elsewhere (her favorites being konjac pouches, pickled vegetables, powdered peanut butter).
♡ owns two akita inus, a female named evita and a male named kota.
♡ her stage outfits typically consist of dresses, skirts, or shorts, even when the rest of the group are dressed in pants. the exception to this are the stage outfits for free woman, follow my heart, stupid liar, and some drama stages.
♡ in recent years, sunnie has made extra money by participating in stocks and buying real estate. dedicated fans are aware of the fact that she technically owns her mother’s bakery (her mother rents the space from her), and she opened a four-story training facility called eclipse studios in 2019.

her first memory is of flashing lights, and a director yelling at the other people in the room.being in front of the camera is her destiny, one that’s been fulfilled since she was in diapers. photography turns into commercial ads, those ads turn into small cameo roles on cable television, and those small roles as a toddler combined with her mother’s fierce pushing leads to sunnie traveling all the way from new york to california by herself to take on her first major role on a popular children’s show. she’s meant to be a star, or so she’s been told since her birth. and she follows along with it, since her tender age means she doesn’t know any better.they’re expected to be flooded with offers and comeback calls once sunnie makes her weekly debut on the television screen, but instead they’re hit with a brick wall. when her grandmother falls ill back in seoul, sunnie’s mother has the wise idea to move out to korea to care for the elderly woman and scope out the opportunities for fame there. at age eight she gets her first korean role, playing the daughter of the male lead in a movie. from then on, the roles keep coming over the years– a few dramas here and there, a few more movies, sealing her position as an up and coming child actress.then her mother gets a better idea.at age thirteen, sunnie starts training under a company to become an idol. mainly dance focused, her acting roles start to slow, coming to an eventual halt when she’s fifteen and debuts as the maknae and main dancer of a group called glimmer. her and four others are fed promises of success and fame in exchange for nonstop hard work, and they believe it, foolishly. less than a year later, glimmer falls apart when the company goes bankrupt, and the girls go their separate ways. most of them give up, but sunnie refuses to (or is unable to, due to the strong influence of her mother over her shoulder), and tries again under the newly formed dominant music records.february 14th, 2010. at age seventeen, sunnie debuts once again as the leader and lead vocalist of dm’s first group l:oveless. initially she’s highly skeptical, but those promises finally are granted when their debut song shoots up to the top of the charts. she can’t go anywhere in public without hearing her voice on the radio or being stopped by fans for autographs and pictures. their first comeback gets the same public reaction, followed by the next, and they’re almost unstoppable in their climb to the top. even when their original main vocalist is booted from the group, and sunnie quickly has to train to fill her shoes during promotions, l:oveless carries on as five members with that same energy and skill that they’re known for.in 2011 the opportunity comes for the group to promote in both china and japan, and the girls pack their bags, spending the next two and a half years traveling between shanghai and tokyo headquarters to learn the languages, record songs and perform, perform, perform. the group is well-received overseas, and they’re worked even harder to maintain that popularity. their korean popularity starts to fall though, as the group only returns to seoul once or twice a year for a comeback before returning to tokyo.it’s starting to take a toll on them. promoting for months straight without rest causes an assortment of injuries, all without the proper time to heal. pressure from officials above to lose weight hits sunnie the hardest, and the already self conscious girl develops an eating disorder that quickly spirals out of hand. fans start to notice her growing thinner and thinner (some compliment her on her slimming down while others begin to worry), and it gets harder and harder to hide the talk about her fainting spells backstage. the mistreatment from their overseas companies eventually comes to light, and it’s the wake up call needed to bring the group back to seoul for good.sunnie expects to be greeted with open arms when they return to korean stages. instead they’re met with silence and their lowest record sales yet, and the company immediately declares the group as on hiatus once the promotions wrap up. shortly after l:oveless is put on hiatus, another member files for early termination from the company, bringing the group roster down to four members. it starts to feel like the beginning of the end, a repeat of her short-lived glimmer days, and she starts to wonder where she went wrong and how she failed her fellow members. she refuses to see the time to rest and visit family, the chance for her to enter rehabilitation for her eating disorder, and the opportunities given to boost their resumes outside of music as anything good. it’s all a bad omen, a punishment for not handling what they were given well enough, and she continues to believe so until their hiatus ends in fall of 2015.it’s been a slow climb trying to reach the level of fame and recognition that l:oveless used to have, but the members, and sunnie especially, are determined to keep pushing forward. all of their struggles have to amount to something, and she’s willing to fight tooth and nail to ensure that her members are kept together despite everything that’s been thrown at them. in the end, their hard effort pays off-- 2018 is spent promoting back to back, regaining the popularity that they’ve lost over the years. they’re exhausted, but thrilled to hear crowds cheering their names once again, and even more thrilled when their beloved member chooses to rejoin the group after four years spent in japan. 2019 is dedicated to solo activities, where sunnie makes her long-awaited solo debut both in korea and america. by 2020, their tenth year of being active, l:oveless move on to open their own entertainment label, heart media. with the assistance of dominant music records, they begin to take control of their own activities, and even work to debut their own girl group with members that they’ve hand picked and trained.years of hard work and struggles have finally paid off, but sunnie has no intentions of slowing down yet.

As the first group debuted under Dominant Music Records, L:OVELESS (롭을엤) unexpectedly shot to the top of the charts with their debut song due to its infectious tune and catchy dance. From then, the six member group became popular for their party and dance tunes, however the departure of one of their members in 2011 and the controversy that followed somewhat damaged their reputation. The group continued to push on as five, eventually making their debuts in Japan and China where their popularity was also growing.Ten years into their career, they’re considered to be an inspiration to many younger idols. Their older songs are considered second generation classics, while their newer releases are chart-toppers. Even with several minor scandals over the years, L:OVELESS is thought of as legends, and a small company success story. They’re praised for the fact that each member of the group is a strong dancer, and that all members have made improvements in vocals and rap since debut. With the opening of their own label Heart Media in 2020, the group has found yet another territory to conquer, and so far they’ve been successful in proving their capability of being their own bosses.

sunnie made her debut as a soloist on FEBRUARY 19TH, 2019, and was the last member of her group to do so. known for her vocal abilities, she subverts expectations by focusing more on her dance abilities and general performance skill, and rarely ever dabbling in ballads. to no surprise, her debut track 12:00 was well received, with the vocalist earning seven music show wins during her promotional period, and winning a MAMA award for best solo dance performance.she explained in an interview that her solo music is meant to put on a breathtaking show, and she has hired an exclusive team of dancers, live musicians, and special effects technicians to work on her music. all of this comes with a high price tag, and it’s been revealed that sunnie pays for the majority of the production of her korean and american solo work herself.

vocals: 9/10. proud of her sweet sounding vocals and ability to belt out high notes almost effortlessly.
rap: 2/10. it’s not something she’s bothered to give any time of day since it would ruin her sweet image. she tends to get tongue tied when it comes to more complex verses.
dance: 7/10. previously was the main dancer in disbanded group glimmer, and was a strong contender for one of the dancing positions in l:oveless before her vocal abilities were discovered.
creativity: 5/10. only recently has started to dabble in lyric writing. mainly approves/critiques the work done by her fellow members.
charisma: 7/10. she certainly plays into the cute, doll like image that is often preferred, but her american bluntness (and backstage hissy fits) can be incredibly off putting to some. others love it.
popularity: 9/10. her entire life has been spent in the spotlight, so even if people don’t know every detail about her, they at least find her face to be familiar. one of the most popular members of her group, with her popularity being concentrated in korean and western fanbases.
reputation: 7/10. due to years spent as a child actress, she has an image of innocence that she’s unable to shake. this works in her favor, by making it easy to cover up her attitude scandals over the years, but has also made it difficult for her to truly grow up and become an adult in the public’s eyes.

♡ song features, always. need a vocalist? sunnie is always ready and available.
♡ the one ex that actually managed to break her heart. her feelings for them are long gone at this point, but the pain surrounding their breakup still remains, and even influences some of the songs that she assists in writing.
♡ old childhood friends. maybe they fell out over the years as sunnie’s career kept her busy, or maybe that separation has only made their friendship stronger to this day.

♡ frenemies, constantly shit talking each other until a common target of hatred pops up.

♡ idol friends, perhaps from acting on a drama together, or debuting in the same year, or being 92 line. possibilities are endless.
♡ idol enemies, because there's no way that everyone buys into her korea's angel bullshit. fans sense the tension between them, but have yet to figure out the true details. let's make ALL THE MESS.
♡ acting co-stars, either in a movie, tv drama, or even a musical.
♡ collab buddies, working together on songs since you’re both musically inclined and she has the voice of an angel.
