˜"*°• JYPE MOMENTS, predebut

˜"*°• when asuka was a trainee at jype, it was pretty hard on him, and he didnt like training as much in jype compared to kq

˜"*°• he was a trainee with the skz members, as jyp thought he might debut with them and therefore asuka was the closest to skz as trainees

˜"*°• he was the closest to han pre-debut and then Jeongin, many were surprised to hear that pre-debut han was good friends with asuka who seemed to have an opposite personality

˜"*°• when asuka met han, han was loud and intimidating so asuka really thought he wouldn't like him much but asuka liked to watch him as he argued with other trainees and even defied the company's orders sometimes

˜"*°• han liked to argue with another trainee called hyunjin, and asuka realised han was always the one to start the arguments and then go on the defensive

˜"*°• when han stormed out of the dance studio once, asuka followed and found him crying in the bathroom - asuka is highly emotional so decided to speak up and try and comfort him

of course han got offended thinking asuka was trying to belittle him but when han realised asuka had never bothered him, han couldn't insult or hurt asuka

˜"*°• since then, han stuck closely to asuka, and tried not to argue much with other trainees but he still got into a big argument with hyunjin once

˜"*°• asuka didnt like to take sides when stuff like that happened, but asuka would always comfort han afterwards because secretly he knew han was just like him, but couldn't hold his anger in case it got misjudged for insecurity 

˜"*°• asuka and han liked to watch movies together, and do introverted things together. asuka managed to convince han to write his feelings and thoughts into songs since han liked writing lyrics a lot

˜"*°• han always pulled asuka to one side and like to show him the lyrics and asuka always had suggestions

˜"*°• since both of them are rappers, they liked to test them on how fast they could rap. once chan told them off for thinking fast rap is the only good rap

˜"*°• han knows about asuka's struggles with adhd, and had many good tricks to help. han also helped with asuka's anxiety since they both struggle with it. that's also another reason they liked to stick together

˜"*°• other than han, the youngest trainee in division 4 was I.N who was the closest to asuka. the well-known crush on asuka sprung from their time as trainees.

˜"*°• jeongin and asuka loves going for coffee together, and asuka liked to sleep beside him a lot when they fell asleep in waiting rooms and even in the dance studio

˜"*°• they always liked to eat together too, and asuka found it funny how jeongin could fit foods all at once in his mouth

˜"*°• asuka hated the beauty standards that the trainees had to follow, he was often told he would have to straighten his hair since they didnt like the curly hair he had at the time

˜"*°• he became really close with skz, and remained friends when he decided to audition at kq. he knew he was taking a big risk but the support he received from skz was a big help

˜"*°• skz were the first to found out that he had become a trainee in kq after auditioning, and then his parents - he laughs about it sometimes

˜"*°• they all support each other so much, he was happy to see skz debut before him even if it wasn't long before
