Background: Adopted into the typical Korean family, Bae was an only child to a workaholic salesman and stay-at-home mother, where good meals and good grades were greatly stressed. Their home located in the rural, farming areas of the old-world country-side. He lived the average childhood complete with baseball games and the disappointment in his career choice. He was trained in classic performing arts, including ballet and operatic singing. Bae was a smart child, he simply did not enjoy the tedious event called school. At the age of sixteen, armed with god-given dancing skills and a lack of academic will, he waited outside a recording studio to audition for Korea's next pop boy band. He soon left home, completing high school on the road, while becoming the country's favorite vocal key change.

The band days were fun, he felt himself mature, the distance giving him a greater appreciation for his parents. Then it happened.

The vision in his right eye began to fade. Never one to complain, Bae quietly excused himself from the spotlight as dancing became harder with his peripheral vision compromised. He needed a new job, but without a college degree, the now nineteen year old Bae decided to contribute his artistic talent to the manhwa world, basing a series off his glorious pop travels. Writing under a pen name, his sales soared while he enjoyed the quiet life. He used this quiet fame to his advantage, traveling to Barcelona to intern in a pyrotechnic program. Bae has always been fascinated with fireworks, aiming to one day design the fireworks show for Magic Kingdom. And speaking of which, he discovered his lifetime goal while lending his charismatic skills out to the ever-so-magical theme park. Missing the excitement of the theater after completing his Barcelona project, Bae died his hair and set off for Orlando, Florida where he served as everyone's favorite imp, Peter Pan for a few months. He continued writing his series all the while, while thoroughly enjoying his paid pranks on-stage.

Within the three years, the name 'Intensified' appeared along his lash line, he used his fame in Japan to launch a tour as well as an investigation. He left Florida after 'graduating,' now feeling the winds of change yet again. A 'surprise' visit to an artistic academy planted him directly on the opposite end of the cutting table of Kiyoshi. It was instantly love, he found everything about the smaller boy adorable.

The boys' closeness was only thing changing through the years, minus a few dips in Bae's popularity due to some public antics involving his new lover. He treats Kiyoshi as a prince, spending all time and money and effort to please the boy. He showers his sacrifice in gifts and love, going so far as to buy a large apartment loft in Japan where he is now settled. In the grand scheme of things, Bae views himself as leading a happy life simply waiting for a bit more 'magic' to come his way.

Extra:
Loss of Sight: Bae lost his sight in his right eye due to cataracts. The cataract was a side-effect of severe hypothyroidism. An 'annoying' disease as he called it, never truly sickening him, yet depleting his energy. The hypothyroidism may also cause fatigue, cold-sensitivity, muscle cramps, depression, anemia, as well as bradycardia. Nuisances all of them, really. Bae is on a medication therapy, which seems to be helping increase his energy. He has no plans on cataract surgery unless fogging appears in his left eye as well. He has also never told anyone the reason for his loss of sight or leaving the band. Hypothyroidism is a genetically influenced malfunction, a disposition if you will. It is believed he inherited the gene from his mother.
Birth Parents: While Bae lacks any real interest in these people, he is aware of their identities. His father is actually the cousin of his adoptive mother and his birth mother, a run-away Chilean on the search for spiritual serenity. The pair left infant Bae at the family's house only to sneak away at night. Known for their immature natures, the family has given up the burden of worrying of their whereabouts.
