Background
Debut
"trinityACE's brain who conquers the stage with his acute senses and rebellious charm. Genius veteran idol who pulls off the perfect performance with zero errors."
He grew up with strict education from a famous scientist family, but he left his family for some reason and entered the idol industry. He proved to be talented in not only dancing but in many different areas. He was looking to debut with songs he composed and wrote himself, but his family interfered and had to spend a long time as no-name. That's why he became obsessed with success this time, almost as if he was trying to get back at his family.
He is very prideful and straightforward with the path he wants to take. Because of this personality, when his group's debut was confirmed, his manner of speech that seemed to look down on his group members became an issue and bad rumors about the group having a discord started going around. But after it was revealed that he was intensely researching and monitoring his group members' habits and actions, even losing sleep during the process, the theory that his crude speech was because of attachment towards his teammates became more dominant. He apparently made a bad excuse saying they had to be at least that good to be on the same stage with him.
He wasn't financially stable during his no-name days, so he sold programs he wrote or personally modified camera equipment. Because of this, all the machinery in his private practice room is his handiwork. Even now he seems to be making something as a hobby whenever he gets free time. His living quarters are always filled with strange unknown equipment. He once got a question asking why he hated rice balls, which was answered with a bitter "I got tired of them after eating them so often."
Although he looks like he might not like outdoor activities, he goes outside at least once per day. There's a bunch of strange fur on his clothes whenever he returns. When his group members ask about this, he always dodges the question.
Comeback
“ | We'll show you the perfected stage so watch and listen, kiddos.
~ Idol Message |

"Add is trinityACE's brain that owns the stage with flair and rebellious charm. A veteran idol who never misses a beat and delivers a flawless, electrifying performance."
Before his comeback, Add had not made any public appearances, which sparked curiosity among fans regarding his latest updates. While the other members shared news through social media, broadcasts, and advertisements, Add's absence led to a wave of rumors. One entertainment source reported that ELSTAR Rookies was a project aimed at finding a new member for trinityACE to replace Add. This fueled scandalous speculations, including claims of feuds, potential disbandment, and even alleged criminal activities involving the members. To address these rumors, Add appeared on the in-house variety show [Go Go! triACE!] and clarified that the article perpetuating such claims was entirely baseless. Following the broadcast, the article was removed.
During his appearance on [Go Go! triACE!], Add explained that his hiatus was due to his work in composing and mixing songs. Fans commented, "No wonder the lighting in the members' personal social media posts was different. Such a perfect setting is Add's work," and "How little do you have to post for people to suspect criminal activity? Please upload more," among other remarks.
Recently, it was accidentally discovered that Add was the host of an early adopter channel known for reviewing and tinkering with various IT devices, including sound equipment. This revelation prompted diverse reactions, such as, "I didn't even realize the host was an idol because there were no people, just machines," "This is how you update your fans," and "Did you abandon your triACE account?" Consequently, the channel's subscriber count skyrocketed, yet it continued to operate quietly with comments locked. After the news broke, a sound equipment manufacturer conducted a collaboration poll in which many fans voted for Add. It appears the company has offered a collaboration, but details regarding this have not surfaced yet.
Following the announcement of trinityACE's comeback, a video titled "3" was uploaded to Add's idol social media account. The video featured a short clip of the first few seconds of the new song. Fans eagerly speculated about the meaning behind the title, but the post was soon deleted. Comments flooded in on his account, with fans anticipating the comeback and saying things like, "Does '3' mean it's only up for 3 minutes?" "Stop teasing us. Give us more," and "Is this song an early access song, or what?" Eventually, Add's account was locked after several users reported him, and he has not posted anything new since.
