     bible name.
╌ he has a habit of spamming the forward button
     when watching anything due to his lack of an
     attention span.
╌ he originally did not have plans of becoming an
     idol. however, while following his friend to his

ASHTON ,, RUNEBIN-
main rapper, lead dancer

▎NAME ⌕ ashton lim (애쉬튼림)
▎STAGE NAME ⌕ ashton (애쉬튼)
▎BORN ⌕ june 14th, '02 ,, los angeles, california
▎HEIGHT+WEIGHT ⌕ 180cm ,, 61kg
▎ETHNICITY ⌕ korean
▎NATIONALITY ⌕ korean-american
▎EXTRA ⌕ enfp ,, gemini
▎DECODED OBJECT ⌕ ink

﹙TRIVIA﹚
╌ he was born and raised in los angeles before
     moving to korea when he was fifteen. because
     of this, he is fluent in english and sometimes
     struggles with korean, though mostly fluent in
     that as well.
╌ he has an older sister of six years (cora) who,
     though moved back to LA, always keeps contact
     with ashton. she's the reason he has many of the
     characteristics he does.
╌ he's a former member of the dance crew eclipse.
     he left when he sustained an injury to his ankle
     that slowed him down after he healed. though fine
     now, he moved before he was able to join back.
╌ ashton is definitely extroverted, but if he's honest,
     he sometimes wishes he wasn't due to the amount
     of attention he had received back in middle school
     in LA. he claims it was overwhelming.
╌ he has an intense allergy to flowers but still finds
     them fascinating; back in LA he would have his
     sister go to the flower shop across from a cafe he
     frequented and take pictures of their new
     arrangements and would have her compliment the
     shop owner. because of his love for flowers, he
     knows a lot about them.
╌ ashton's parents were present in his life a lot, but
     sometimes work took over a week of their time
     together. as a result of this, ashton is a decent
     cook and has made meals for himself and his
     sister when they first moved to korea. he also bakes,
     but has said on numerous occasions that he's
     better at cooking than baking.
╌ his sister is into women, and because of this ashton
     was taught to never discriminate or scrutinize others
     for their interests or sexuality. his parents were
     also open to this, so it was a good ending for him
     but he understands not everyone has that luxury.
╌ he loves horror movies and doesn't get scared at all
     by them, but he has an intense fear of the dark. ashton
     has had this fear since he was a child and though he
     doesn't know what triggered it, he knows it won't go
     away anytime soon. he doesn't need a light necessarily,
     which is why he feels fine if he holds onto something
     before he sleeps.
╌ ashton has a ton of customer service experience due
     to working a few odd jobs when he was fourteen and
     fifteen before moving. he says that it was for the
     experience, not so much for the money. but that the
     money was an added bonus.

SHAWN ,, xiaotings 
lead rapper, sub-vocalist, maknae

▎NAME ⌕ nam sihyeon (남시현)
▎STAGE NAME ⌕ shawn (숀)
▎BORN ⌕ sept. 9th, '02 ,, seocho-gu, south korea (+melbourne, australia)
▎HEIGHT+WEIGHT ⌕ 177cm ,, 60kg
▎ETHNICITY ⌕ korean
▎NATIONALITY ⌕ korean
▎EXTRA ⌕ istp/isfp ,, virgo
▎DECODED OBJECT ⌕ a flashlight

﹙TRIVIA﹚
╌ he lived in melbourne for close to five years
     when he was younger, and as a result he
     became fluent in english.
╌ his teachers in australia found 'sihyeon' too confusing
     to pronounce, so he used 'shawn' as his english name
     to get as close to his korean name as possible.
╌ he got into k-pop after a girl he had a crush on showed
     up a video of bts performing at the bbmas. he says
     that he really wanted to impress her, so he started
     learning how to dance and became more interested in
     singing. even if he no longer feels the same way about
     her, he feels that he owes her for showing him a path
     that he ended up loving.
╌ he often dabbles around with producing whenever he
     is bored. having reached a high level within his music
     conservatory for his piano playing, he became
     interested in music composition (even if it was by
     force to complete assignments), and ever since then
     he has spent his free time playing around in production
     programs.
╌ he really likes basketball. while he mainly played
     recreationally when he was younger, he ended up trying
     out for and making it to the school teams, and eventually
     became the team captain when he was in his last year
     of high school. he's also been known to lose money
     around march madness when he made bets about the
     brackets with his friends.
╌ he cannot swim in water that goes higher than his waist.
     after a traumatic experience at a pool when he was
     a child, he's been a bit wary of water, and hasn't fully   
     gotten over his fear. however, he has taken a few
     swimming classes when he was younger and knows
     how to float.
╌ his special talent is rock paper scissors. while he does
     occasionally lose, more often than not he manages to
     always throw out the right hand to win, and even
     strategies shared around on youtube wouldn't be
     enough to beat him.
╌ he has a cream border collie named rosie. while he
     keeps her at his parents' house, he is still very attached
     to her and often shows people pictures of his
     'best friend.'
╌ he is absolutely obsessed with watching medical
     documentaries on youtube. while he ultimately decided
     that going into medicine as a career was not for him, he
     is still extremely invested in anything related to medical
     cases.
