History

Former idol/singer trainee. He auditioned with two other friends and succeeded in the personality and vocal categories. All three friends were picked up by different companies. He dropped out a few years into the training period when the culture surrounding him and his fellow trainees became too demanding and uncaring for him to continue. He is very leery about the predatory nature of talent management companies and is always willing to offer perspective and insight to other buns. Bullying, overtime, small wages, and lack of personal space and time culminated in a long period of burnout. 

Before quitting from the path of being an idol he had accumulated an online following thanks to the marketing efforts of the entertainment label he had initially signed with. He used that existing fanbase to pivot into making personal content that aligned more with his interests. He watches movies and creates commentary videos on them. When he streams, it’s a mix of chatting, reactions, gaming, and collaboration events with friends.

Despite leaving the company before debuting, he made a few lasting friendships. Vânia became very attached to him during her trainee years as a mentee. She regularly seeks him out and he was instrumental in helping her navigate out of a stalker situation. After temporarily moving in with him during this time, she ended up moving into a vacant room in his building.
