Back story
Parents: Yoshida Yusuke & Tanzaki Aya
Siblings: Brother: Yoshida Kazuki

He was born the oldest child of Yusuke and Aya. They had been married for five years and almost given up hope of ever having a child. Safe to say, he is their miraculous bundle of joy. Kan often wonders to himself if he ever turned out the way they wanted. If not, they always have their perfect second son, Kazuki. He was always more interested in taking over the family business anyway. Kan's father detested his interest in rock music early on. From the age of four he was classically trained to play piano and violin. He was raised to be the perfect son, the perfect heir but his indifference to anything meant he skipped school and fell in with the 'wrong crowd'. Needless to say the moment he heard JRock, he was awakened.


Kan made it his goal in life then to be on stage and perform. He didn't care about his education and ended up in a fight with Ikuta Koji - the son of a notorious Yakuza Oyabun. Koji was trained in many different fighting styles and while looking like a girl (Kan: Awww com'on he's in a dress christssake!) he handed Kan's ass to him. Since then, they became firm friends and Kan sees it as his duty to look after Koji/Chu. Kan has rejected the life set up for him by his mother and father and hasn't looked back. He and Koji joined MVM when they were fifteen and sought to debut as Idols. It was an unconvential route in their mind (who wanted to be another factory produced band?) but their wild success in recent years would do little to make them question their decision. Kan was placed as the Lead Singer and Leader of ROMEO EFFECT (sounding like Yasu of A.B.C).
They debuted in July 2009.

Overall Personality: Kan is grumpy. Really. He rarely finds happiness in anything (Only Koji, Pandas & Singing). The first thing you would notice when you went into his room at their dormitory would be he loves keeping the place dark but also of his obsession. With Pandas. We're not talking an 'Aww how cute' we're taking a 'Fluffy Fluffy, Panda Pandy, Don't know why do you make me Randy~" sort of obsession. Plushies, pictures, figurines, posters, bed sheets. Everything. He's quiet, doesn't say anything unless he has to and also has his favourite Panda plushies with him. He likes dressing as a Panda. Kan has no interest in Men or Women (only Pandas). He's also very... fierce? I suppose thats the word to use. He swears a lot and doesn't get along with a lot of people. He doesn't try to. He's blunt and opinionated. His fans love it though.

Back story
Parents: Kim Noh Woo & Honda Aiko
Siblings: N/A
Father is the CEO of Noh Industries which is one of the largest companies in Korea which manufacture electronics. This was a business he started himself when he was twenty years old. His mother is Honda Aiko, the only daughter of Kentarou and Megumi Honda. She is the heir of the Honda company. Yes, the car company. She met Noh Woo at an Inter-Asia business conference when she was just eighteen years old (please not that Jaesun's father is a good eleven years older than his mother).

Jaesun was born as the first and only child of Noh Woo and Aiko in Chiba, Chiba - Japan. However, soon after his third birthday his parents moved to Seoul, South Korea. Aiko gave up her position within in the Honda company, letting her younger brother Toma take over. It should be noted that she has not gone back to work for the Honda company since. Jaesun was effectively raised in South Korea until he moved back to Japan to play with Romeo Effect. He was given a Japanese name upon his birth but prefers to use his Korean name. 

Not one to feel homesick, Jaesun often travelled back to Japan himself to visit his grandparents there. It was during the summer when he was thirteen years old that Jaesun was scouted by MVM - a upcoming music label under Sony Japan. His parents, at first, couldn't agree to him joining a music label and being trained to become part of a group. However, once they realised how passionate Jaesun was about this, they let him join MVM. He was fourteen. Three years passed by while he trained and the Visual Kei group of ROMEO EFFECT was put together. They debuted in July 2009.

Personality Etc
Favourite Colour(s): Pink, Black & Green
Favourite Animal: Flamingo
Favourite Food: Kimchi
Favourite Film: Anything horror
Likes: Rainy days, Performing on stage, Reading, Korean food, Long hair, Hello kitty and Travelling. Rainbows, Singing, Rainbows, Playing Guitar, Pokemon, Bows, Skinny jeans, Black & Pink.
Dislikes: Squid, Jo Jo, School, Frills, Teddy bears, Dogs, Glitter & Outfits that reveal too much skin.

Overall Personality:
Often caught up in his own daydreams, Jaesun would be quieter than most members of the group. He rarely speaks for the group during interviews and only comes alive on stage. Its different up there. He feels as though he can really let go and no one will judge him. Jaesun has a fear of rejection. Struggling to make friends, he often gives up if someone doesn't look interested in him. Little does he know, he has one of the biggest fan-clubs out of the group (Chu's being the biggest!). His passion for music and performing is obvious, he is often caught up writing his own lyrics for songs (but never brave enough to show them!). Where he lacks in confidence he makes up for in love. Jaesun is a very loving person if you're lucky enough to be his friend. He's caring and considerate - he always keeps the plushies and toy that fans keep him. His room is filled with gifts! He can never bring himself to get rid of anything. Jaesun can seem rather mopy at times, sad and downhearted. He just doesn't know how to express himself around a lot of people so withdraws into himself.

hello.

So this will be my Ball Jointed Doll (BJD) related blog! After discovering so many of them on Blogger, I've decided to make my own. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up to date with whats going on in my BJD hobby related activities. Also, I will finally write down details of my dolls to help keep track of their personality quirks and histories etc. Clair might find that super helpful haha.

I guess the first updates I'll have will be introducing my dolls and who they are~ Yup. Not sure what expectations I have for this blog but just super excited to be starting this for now. Cause, I really need more distractions haha.







For now,
Hazel
