He does, however often wear contacts and has his hair colored or bleached at almost all times. His nose is wide and his lips pouty and full. He has an overall oval shaped face however his jawline is quite sharp, accentuating his features. Though he is not over-muscled he does possess a quite muscular physique as he has maintained a strict workout and diet routine for most of his life. Though he has had several different haircuts and different ways of styling it, at the moment is is grown out a bit and brushed so that it falls in a diagonal slant over the left side of his face. His clothing is always perfectly matched uet each outfit is unique and all its own. It would be impossible to pin him down to one fashion or one style. Suffice it to say he is a trendsetter. To others, looking at him from a distance he might seem a bit closed off or unapproachable as he generally moves with his hands in his pockets and his head down or forward.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ PERSONALITY
Kris had a very unique childhood. Because of that he can seem quite shy whenever he is in one on one conversations with others. He is an introvert but can easily behave like an extrovert if it is required of him. Throughout his life he has had a very singular vision and that is furthering his career so he can seem heartless at times or selfish because of how much he is devoted to bettering himself, however this is mostly because he has difficulty connecting to other people on an emotional level. He is extremely hard-working and dedicated to anything he puts his mind to; he is extremely persistent. He has been called a pessimistic person but he isn't, rather he is realistic. He sees no use in lying to someone saying that something or some situation is going to get better whenever it seems to him that they will not. This sometimes has gotten him into trouble in some higher societal circles. He is not easily angered but when he is, his anger can be intense and long-lasting. In short, he feels deeply, but has difficulty expressing these feelings or letting them manifest themselves.
HISTORY ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
Kris MinLi was born in Incheon, South Korea to a wealthy family. His father worked as a doctor and his mother as a lawyer. He was their only child. Since he was little his parents had wanted him to be a doctor or a lawyer just like one of them, however, growing up he always wanted a career in singing. Well his parents would have nothing of it and forbid him to pursue any sort of singing career, saying he wasn't talented enough or attractive enough to make it in that industry. This would not dissuade him. At eight years old he snuck out of the house, accompanied by his grandmother and auditioned for an entertainment company based in Seoul. When he returned his parents were furious with him and his grandmother for the deception. He was disciplined and assured that he would not hear anything back from the entertainment company. A couple of weeks later his grandmother recieved a call from the entertainment company saying they wanted Kris to sign a ten year contract with the company. His grandmother was elated and rushed to tell his parents. His parents were hesitant at first but eventually acquiesced. Thus began Kris' career in the entertainment industry. He began training at eight years old. He trained in singing, dancing, acting and modeling. At fifteen he was paired with two other male trainees to form the kpop boy group called TRInity. After that the three of them began training together and were given an apartment. Kris and another member of TRInity became romantically involved. Not long after he came to his mother and confided in her that he was gay. Her response was beating him with a broomstick until he swore that it wasn't true. His boyfriend at the time, after hearing what happened to him, couldn't face his parents and shortly thereafter left TRInity, the company and left Kris as well. The only other person he told about his sexuality was his manager who though she accepted it said that without a doubt he could not come out publicly as it would lower his appeal to their target audience. Since then he has found it difficult to open up to people. The third member of TRInity was replaced and they debuted shortly after. TRInity did quite well, releasing several hit songs and albums. They won several awards and toured all over South Korea and the surrounding area: Japan, China, Indonesia and Thailand. Kris became the face of a skincare company and a clothing line, also starring in several films and kdramas. Two years after, TRInity embarked on their first world tour as their fans spread across the oceans into Canada, Australia, United States and the United Kingdom. Now, at nineteen, TRInity is in the U.S. performing in New York.
