## Background

Dam Bi was born on April 18th to her Korean parents, Tae Kyung and Bong Soon Han. Dam Bi’s parents didn’t get along super well, but this never affected Dam Bi badly, it just made her want to avoid home as much as possible.

She began her interest in fashion at a young age since her parents would love to dress her up in beautiful and expensive clothing. They always tried to teach her, “Dam Bi, it’s better to buy something expensive and high quality that will last you a long time rather than to buy something cheap that will break before too long”. Dam Bi carried these words with her even now, and always bought only the best clothing. She had two brothers, one older brother (Tae Bin) and a younger brother, (Won Bin). Just like how siblings usually act, they never really got along and they weren’t around as much anyway since Tae Bin was too busy learning how to be the proper heir to the Han name and Won Bin was sent to an expensive boarding school. Since Dam Bi was their only daughter, she was spoiled rotten. She was brought to many parties with her mother where she received a lot of money from her other family members. She also developed a talent for singing, often performing for her family and would take lessons when she could.

At around the age of eleven, Dam Bi got really interested in Japanese culture. She had seen a few anime and soon became enamored by the culture. During this time, she also wanted to become an idol. She had been singing for a long time and wanted to be able to share her voice for large crowds. She thought she had what it took, but despite all the auditions she went to in South Korea, she was always turned down. The judges would always tell her that it wasn’t her age, but that she wasn’t unique enough. Dam Bi was devastated because this was the one thing she really wanted, yet she wasn’t able to get it. Thankfully, she didn’t let this stop her and she continued to take singing lessons and started to learn Japanese on the side. She even decided to join a dance group to help her improve. They needed an outfit designer and Dam Bi fit the bill perfectly. They performed often and Dam Bi would have new and stylish outfits for every new performance.

When Dam Bi turned thirteen, the group disbanded. At this point, Dam Bi was pretty much fluent in Japanese, so she decided to spend her newfound free time learning English. As she continued to grow older, her love for fashion and Japanese culture grew as well. She learned more about Japanese idols who, as Dam Bi noticed, were drastically different from Korean idols. She would spend day and night doing her research and watching various videos to learn more. However, little did she know that her family was beginning to struggle financially and would soon affect them all.

At the age of fourteen, Dam Bi decided that she wanted to study abroad. She began to focus more on her academics, hoping to get her grades up while also continuing her studies in English and fashion. She also made sure she didn’t forget her Japanese, since that would be important for where she was going. She figured out which companies and programs were best to sign up for and created a plan for her parents to see. It clearly detailed the logistics, how long she wanted to stay, what she would be doing and how she was going to pay for it using all the money that she received from her family. She concluded with the fact that she wouldn’t be leaving until she was fifteen since she wanted to at least finish the school year with her friends. Surprisingly enough, they accepted, figuring that it would be a good opportunity to fix their financial situation with one less child to pay for. Even after the paperwork had been filled out and filed, Dam Bi continued to work hard in all her classes until it was time for her to leave. She finally said goodbye to her life in Korea and left to meet her host parents, Fusanosuke and Hisako Tanaka.

At the start, Hisako seemed to dislike Dam Bi, but Dam Bi did her best not to be affected by this. She continued being her usual sweet self, doing well in school, and eventually managed to capture both their hearts. When she asked about the initial hostility, the two of them explained that they both badly wanted a child, but were never able to conceive. When the opportunity came up to host a student, Hisako was initially against it because she was afraid of growing attached to someone else’s child. However, those fears were dispersed, as Dam Bi treated them as her second family and they treated her the same, affectionately calling her Bibi.

Dam Bi had an amazing time in Japan, using her language knowledge and learning first hand what the culture is like. Her grades were also very high and she managed to become fluent in English during her stay as well. The year seemed to pass by quickly and soon enough it was time for her to return to South Korea; however, to Dam Bi’s surprise, her parents basically begged her to stay in Japan. When asked why, they had to tell her about the financial difficulties they were having, catching Dam Bi off guard. Fortunately, her host parents were very understanding and so they made arrangements for her to stay in Japan until further notice. Although she was worried about her parents, Dam Bi couldn’t help but be excited to continue her stay in Japan.

Since she was going to be here for who knows how long, Dam Bi decided to try and audition to be an idol in Japan. Worried that she will fail again, she hesitantly went to the I MY ME open auditions. To her surprise, she completely stunned the producers who were there, asking how she hadn’t been found earlier. She left, proud of her performance and soon after, to no one’s surprise, she was called back to join the company! She was offered to debut as a solo idol, to which she accepted and thus began her journey of becoming a famous idol!
