Min-tae

Min-tae was originally an extremely shy high school student, he didn't have many friends and not many people knew he could even speak. However, he was super popular and well-talked about among the students (mostly the girls) for being one of the best looking students in school. One day during a school field trip, Min-tae was actually scouted by a modelling agency. (the same company Kyoh originally worked at, he met him a few times)

He was absolutely shocked, not quite knowing what to do except take the offer at the time. His family was struggling financially, due to his father's constant loss of jobs and a very very heavy drinking addiction. (He was never violent or abusive, he just drank. A LOT.)

Min-tae's family was proud of him and encouraged him, halfly out of their own selfish desires. Min-tae expressed his slight discomfort about being photographed more than a few times, but he was always shot down by how important the money was to them. Hesitantly, he began his work as a model.

He instantly became famous due to his looks, getting job after job after job for companies of almost anything. After working for a while and his family starting to do much better financially due to all the money he was making from advertisements, a company called him asking him to come in for a different kind of job

This was when he was asked to be an idol. Still suffering from stage fright, and having massive anxiety attacks nearly every photoshoot, he agreed to the job while thinking about his parents. 

Min-tae trained for two years, graduating high school and continuing to work towards debuting as an idol. His anxiety made him extremely nervous at practices, making him mess up more than the others which in turn would only make it worse on him. However, when he met A-ha, he felt a tension release, and the other always made him feel better about his mistakes. 

He still struggles between the two jobs, getting extremely embarrassed at nearly every event and having panic attacks before every concert. The only person who can calm him down is usually A-ha. 

ps: he tends to play with that little stripe in his hair when he's nervous, or hug his arms.
