❦ — basic information

❦ — history

Park Seonghwa is the star of an all-male ballet company known for pushing boundaries. The company, renowned for its avant-garde performances, rejects traditional gender roles in ballet. Seonghwa, the principal ballerino, embraces this fully—dancing en pointe, often wearing tutus, and defying gender norms with every performance. His androgynous beauty and mesmerizing movements make him a standout, blending both masculine strength and feminine grace on stage.

His appearance, with sleek black hair, the spattering of obsidian-like scales, and fluid, ethereal features, adds to his allure. While audiences admire his beauty and skill, Seonghwa feels like an enigma in his own skin. His unique look, combining delicate and sharp traits, mirrors his ability to inhabit both traditional male and female roles in ballet without hesitation.

Though he willingly became a collar to find a deeper connection, Seonghwa is conflicted. He understands the program’s intent, but the idea of being "on sale" feels dehumanizing at times. Still, he hopes it might lead him to someone who sees past his beauty and fame, and connects with him for who he truly is.

❦ — personality & details

Seonghwa enjoys elegant and quiet hobbies like skincare, curating his living space with refined touches, and stargazing for peace.

He has a soft spot for details, finding beauty in small, carefully chosen items, much like how he approaches both his art and personal life.

Park Seonghwa dislikes chaos and disorganization, finding comfort in order and calm. He feels uncomfortable with shallow interactions or superficial praise, especially when people only focus on his beauty or hybrid nature. He’s uneasy with rigid societal norms, particularly those that try to box him into traditional gender roles. Loud, crowded places overwhelm him, and he tends to avoid confrontations or overly aggressive behavior.

Seonghwa's secret is that, despite his composed and graceful exterior, he often dreams of leaving the ballet world behind. Though he’s passionate about his art, the pressure to constantly perform and embody perfection wears on him. Deep down, he yearns for a simpler, quieter life where he can explore his own identity beyond the spotlight, free from the expectations of others.

He tends to hum softly when he’s deep in thought, often creating his own melodies without realizing it. He also has a habit of meticulously adjusting the smallest details around him, like the angle of furniture or the fold of a curtain, striving for visual balance. When stressed, he traces the scales on his wrists, a subconscious comfort rooted in his dragon heritage. Additionally, he prefers to eat food in specific, orderly ways, often arranging his meals in patterns before eating.
