Background
Debut
"The most passionate Trinity Ace's leader. He might seem simple and ignorant, but he shines the most on stage."
He was hoping to study physical education but was struggling after hitting his own limit. Then he started the path of an idol after accepting a street casting.
He didn't try too seriously at first since he accepted the idol job as a change of pace. But due to his diligent personality, his skills improved quickly and became one of the trainees to debut in the shortest time ever. After an event where he clashed with his team members, he got a chance to rethink what being an idol meant and is currently taking the idol work seriously. He is always saying he's not good enough, but ever since his change of heart, his charms and skills have been improving at a shocking rate.
He says that he struggles with making smooth movements or making soft expressions due to habits he developed while doing sports. But this isn't a problem if he keeps his mind off this issue so other members are trying hard to keep him from worrying about this too much.
His cooperation with his group members is fantastic. It's almost as if all the bad vibes from before the debut was a lie. Pictures of the group hanging out after work coming up on SNS from time to time seems to have helped with easing the bad rumors regarding discord amongst the group. What really settled the issue, however, were details from an interview where he mentioned that the reason he could be here as an idol right now was mostly because of his group members.
He is famous for admiring his older sister to the extent of immediately mentioning his sister's name whenever he's asked about who he admires the most. It seems he's trying to change his image to be more charismatic like his sister because he's been observing stages of other groups recently. The group he's been observing recently is MAZE.

"The most passionate leader of trinityACE. A positive, hands-on idol that makes the stage fun."
Elsword is the leader of trinityACE and has gained extensive stage and television experience, continuing to grow at an impressive rate. His sincerity and cheerful personality have helped him earn recognition throughout his idol career, yet he remains dedicated to hard work.
He shares a fantastic chemistry with his fellow members and is well-regarded by the production staff, despite their frequent bickering. In the MT episode of the first installment of the in-house variety show [Go Go! triACE!], he created a warm atmosphere that helped new member Noah feel at home within the group. His popularity skyrocketed as many fans noted the impressive contrast between his leadership qualities and his young age. Additionally, he has shown remarkable skills in housekeeping—preparing meals for the members, grilling meat, and quickly organizing their surroundings. Fans have humorously commented that they would like to have "one Elsword per household" or referred to him as "the Guardian of the Kitchen" and "the Emperor of Meat."
In an interview announcing their comeback with their second album, he revealed that, despite their intense practice schedules, they made time to watch other groups perform. Elsword emphasized that he prefers to showcase his own charm rather than imitate others or alter his image, which resonated with long-time fans who have supported him since his trainee days. His Face Cam, which captures him enjoying the stage with a newfound expression of joy, is quickly gaining views.
A video from his childhood, in which Elsword learned kendo from a former acquaintance, went viral. Fans were surprised when he demonstrated his skill by decisively defeating an adult man in a duel with a dual sword.
Relationships

"We're a team now! It feels like he's obsessed!"
We didn't get along at first but now while we still fight from time to time, it's mostly as a light joke. We're a team now after all! Even though he's a bit unfriendly, he's incredibly skilled at what he does. I think Add's role was big in our group becoming this good. He's always studying something... It almost feels like he's obsessed with it. I can't lose to him! I'll practice twice as hard today!
"He has a picky attitude, but it shapes our team."
He's still a bit cranky. I realize now that it's for our own good, though. He knows a lot, and he'll check in with us to point out things we haven't even thought of. It's amazing, isn't it? I think his pickiness makes our team so much more complete. When I see Add, I start to feel like I can't give up and I have to work harder. Oh well! Extra practice today!

"I was bit worried... What's with the honorific?"
I rarely had any friends that were the same age as me, so I was worried about how to act around him, but he was the one who approached and talked to me first. I kept being awkward around him but now he reacts to what I say as if he's read my mind. So, it's comfortable being around Chung. Oh! Except for how he keeps addressing me with honorifics.
"He is determined and assertive despite his appearance."
Chung is determined and assertive despite his appearance. He's a very supportive member, so I tend to rely on him a lot! I feel especially lucky to have a like-minded friend around my age, especially when we practice. We have the opposite interests, so it's fun to get to know each other~ Recently, we started going for morning jogs to find something we can both enjoy together. I love the fresh morning air!

"He's shy but a good kid."
I'm so happy to have Noah on board! Thanks to that, we were able to show QUARTERNITYs a new trinityACE. Noah is shy, but he's a great kid. His manager also takes good care of us! The five of us hang out a lot and he watches us practice, and sometimes I feel like his manager is another member of trinityACE.

"She always nags on me whenever we meet."
She's always nagging me whenever I see her. She talks to me like I'm her younger brother, even though we're only a few years apart in age! But... It's all good advice. Seeing the members of MEGACAKE rely on her gives me a lot of motivation as I am the leader of my group. ...But enough with the nagging! I can handle it! Isn't that why we have rehearsals?!

"Ordered two boxes already... Meet again next time..."
There's a home shopping channel I watch from time to time. They were selling dumplings one day and the person tasting the samples was totally enjoying it. When I came to my senses, I was already ordering two boxes of dumplings. I get reminded of this event whenever I eat dumplings now... But what's surprising was that the girl who was doing the tasting was an idol like me! It was such a shock when I found out recently. Oh~ I'll invite her out to go eat something tasty next time I see her.

"I feel like she still treats me like a little kid."
I've known her since we were trainees! I cheered her on when she participated in the audition show. She's very kind, but sometimes when she scolds me I get really, really scared! So I try to be more mature in front of her... but I wonder if it's because of Elesis? Rena still treats me like a kid.

"Big sister is the best! She treats me like a kid..."
Big sis is the best! She's good at kendo, idol activities, and everything else so she wins tournaments or becomes famous quickly. Although she would still be my role model even without all those achievements. I started my idol activities because of her suggestion. She still treats me like a kid... but I'll keep working hard until I can stand on the same stage as her!

"Exchanged phone numbers that one time. One day I'll help him too..."
I met him in a program that I participated in not too long after debut. We somehow ended up exchanging phone numbers there but never contacted each other. But after I became a leader of my group, I started having many concerns. I recalled that he was a leader too, so I ended up consulting about this with him. Even though we've only met once before, he taught me many things and helped answer a lot of my concerns. Haha, we're close friends now and one day I'd like to help him too.

"I don't remember when we became close."
I honestly don't remember how long I've known Ain. I think it's been a while... or maybe it's been relatively recent? It's so nice to hear him cheer me on and say, "I’m always watching," even though we're not in the same group! Why do I call him Ain when he looks so much older than me? You’re right...
