being an artist came naturally to vernon. music, words, rhythm—they flowed through him like second nature. as seventeen’s rapper, he brought calm energy to the group, always observing more than he let on. he wasn’t the loudest in the room, but he had a presence that made people turn their heads. cool without trying, thoughtful without showing off, and funny in a way that snuck up on you.

vernon has one sister, sofia. many friends of sofia knows that she has a brother that's a member of the famous group, but sofia only chooses the right people to be with her since some of their friends can get too pushy with her and her brother.

it was christmas, and vernon flew all the way from korea to new york, to celebrate christmas with his family and relatives. sofia invited a few friends of hers, some girlies who weren't too familiar with vernon.
