Shin Woo has a solemn and handsome face. But it is only image because in reality, he seems to be not interested in anything and cannot be affected by anything...

In the group, he is the cool member in contrast with Tae Kyung who is overly sensitive. Although he is a part of a very popular band, he'd rather be an entrepreneur than an artist.

Jeremy is an English-Korean who came from a noble family. His father is a world class photographer while his mom is a famous model.

In the group, Jeremy can be considered as a member with a bright personality. He has a great smile thus when he says some stupid things, his smile covers everything. He is also very optimistic and balances out the more dramatic personalities in the group.

He believed that he can never be friends with a girl but after meeting Go Mi Nam, he is not sure how he feels.
