--Strengths/Weaknesses:

Strengths - Ryunosuke has always been a fashion forward sort of guy, appreciating the likes of Harajuku and other Tokyo street fashion to the point that he’s ended up on several fashion blogs. Hailed for being one of the youngest attendees of Tokyo Fashion week, he also creates his own fashions as he has taught himself to work the needle and thread quite well. His other talents include singing and playing guitar which he learned from his mother’s affinity for playing his grandfather’s classical guitar. Ryunosuke’s voice is very deep and rich, holding the emotion as he sings very well. He’s unafraid to raise an octave for important effects, however, and manages it well to a certain extent.

Weaknesses - Ryunosuke is not a dancer despite humoured claims that he's the “best street dancer in Korea”. He knows he's not the best with getting up and moving, especially with footwork, and often jokes about it. He’s much more used to the more subtle but meaningful movements that come with singing while playing an instrument. Ryunosuke also is not the best with interview questions, especially from strangers. It takes him a while to come up with an answer he likes since he’s quite the perfectionist. This makes him come off as a bit awkward during public appearances, but does not prevent him from being honest about his inability to improvise. As Ryunosuke is a perfectionist, writing lyrics also comes slowly to him. It takes him a while to write his own songs and even then he may not be completely satisfied.

--Personality: Ryunosuke is the type of guy to follow his path no matter what sort of roadblocks come his way. He's very determined but is not too forward about it either. Some may paint his humorous attitude as obnoxious seeing as he is unafraid to use it as a way to make him feel better about his own faults. He’s very open about his own interests and loves finding others who are intrigued. When meeting new people he might come off as a bit shy or awkward, but quickly seems to warm up if he sees the other reciprocates his openness.

--Biography

Ryunosuke was born in Shibuya, Tokyo with his quiet but loving parents. His mother was originally from Korea and had married his father during her time in Japan. The two ran a small clothing shop in the busy neighborhood, making good business for themselves. As young Ryunosuke matured he started modeling for his family’s business, handing out fliers on the packed streets. This grew his love for fashion as well as created a spark of ambition and creativity.

Eventually his mother was determined to move back to Korea and reopen her business in Seoul. The small family moved to Myeongdong and opened up shop once more. By this time Ryunosuke was 16 and had become significantly more skilled at his hobbies of making clothing and playing the guitar. When he wasn’t helping his parents with modeling, he would sit out on the street and perform with the universal upside down hat in front of him, accepting the donations from those who appreciated his unique voice and style.

It wasn’t long before he was approached by a respectable man who suggested he audition for an entertainment company who was taking in new trainees. He conversed with his parents over whether or not this was a viable option for him, and ultimately they decided one audition wouldn’t hurt. After a month of honing his skills he had prepared himself physically and mentally for the new experience. The audition was a success and Ryunosuke has been training under YM Entertainment ever since.
