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.
The little prince of trinityACE that has the members’ back at all times. A natural idol loved by all for his gentle and kind nature.
Chung is trinityACE’s all-rounder who is recognized by the public as a “jack-of-all-trades” for his tireless efforts in dancing, entertainment, and acting.
Chung takes care of his members with great consideration and is a solid pillar of the group. During the second episode of the in-house variety show ‘Go Go! triACE!’, MT ~ ‘Courage Experiment’, a horror element caused all the members to scatter. Still, Chung quickly calmed down, pointing out that they needed to find their teammates again to complete the mission. As he searched for Elsword, Add, and Noah, he quickly realized where they were and what they were doing. This showed how closely he had been keeping an eye on the members, and evoked comments such as, ‘The team’s camaraderie is amazing,’ and ‘It’s Chung, alright. He’s known to be reliable.’
During the break before their comeback, Chung participated in various activities such as being a cameo in an OTT series. At one point, it was briefly rumored that Chung was considering quitting trinityACE and turning to acting, but he brushed off the controversy by asking fans to stay tuned for trinityACE’s comeback. After the news of their comeback was announced, he revealed, “I’ve been working hard with the members to prepare for the stage even while doing solo activities.” He expressed that he was tongue-tied because he couldn’t say anything when asked, but now he’s incredibly happy to be able to say it out loud.
In addition, Chung has been uploading cello covers of various songs on his personal social media from time to time. He has also been attracting attention for his excellent cello skills combined with proper interpretation. This led to the discovery of a video from a show where Chung had appeared as a cello prodigy in the past, and it became a hot topic on social media. Various reactions and requests for song covers followed, with some stating, ‘He dances well and plays the cello well, this is a scam,’ ‘I want to lock him up and make him only play the cello,’ and ‘Who will be the idol then?’. On a livestream, Chung responded stating that he uploads cello cover videos as a hobby when he has free time, and that he appreciates the love it received. However, now that he has made a comeback, he will focus more on his activities as a member of trinityACE.
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.
A hard-working, dedicated rookie idol who is quiet, humble, and serious about his work.
Noah is a rookie in the group trinityACE who continues to gain experience after his debut. His inexperience is being embraced by the audience as a refreshing charm. Since his rookie days, his dedication to endless practice has endeared him to fans who want to cheer for his progress.
He often makes mistakes on variety shows due to his nervousness. At one point, he accidentally mixed up the members’ names, which resulted in laughter from the entire crew. Feeling embarrassed, he requested them to edit the mistake out, but unfortunately, the episode was released without edits. The clip became viral as a cute mistake from the “Super Rookie” and is now popularly referred to as the Noah stan video. The on-site staff praised him for being polite and for trying to make amends with a positive attitude after his blunder.
In the in-house variety show “Go Go! triACE!”, he unexpectedly reveals his talent for playing mafia games. He insists that he is not good at it and wants to leave as soon as possible because he feels overwhelmed. However, regardless of the role he plays in the game, the other members believe in him, thinking, “Noah would never lie.” As a result, the team he joins often wins, which brings lots of laughter. He has also excelled in various party games and is viewed as a dark horse in team competitions, though he struggles in solo games. This has led to the joke among fans: “Stick together to survive, scatter to become Noah.”
His manager encouraged him to regularly upload study vlogs. At first, he confused his fans by simply documenting his studying throughout the videos, but gradually, more viewers began studying alongside him. This content became popular, especially during exam weeks. Recently, he has started to engage more with his fans in his videos, and his shy confession that his grades have improved has sparked reactions such as, “I feel like a parent who sent his son to a prestigious university” and “Noah should have been my kid…”
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 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’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.
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…
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.
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?!
He’s our trusted leader. I feel it all the time but Elsword is so passionate, and when I’m around him, I get motivated and fired up as well. Even when things aren’t going well you can see him grumble for a second, then smile and say, “It is what it is”. I think the fact that he never gives up is so unwavering and admirable. Um…. But then again, he’s highly energetic. I wish he would refrain from going off somewhere…, I worry sometimes.
Ahaha… People often misunderstand, but Add is incredibly caring and supportive of us. He’s the one who suggested that I post a cello cover video on social media. Although he said it was to test the new modified broadcast equipment, I couldn’t have done it without his help. It feels like a childhood dream come true, so I’m really grateful for him.
I remember when Noah had just joined trinityACE. Someone was standing in front of the practice building with a hat pressed tightly to their head, so Elsword immediately yelled, “Who’s that!” He ran away, so we chased after him thinking he was some creep, but it turned out to be Noah. I asked him why he wasn’t going in, and he said the door was locked so he was just waiting. Then, I asked him why he ran away. He said he just got scared and ran away, so we had a good laugh. I realized later that the door to the practice room wasn’t locked either. He thought it was a push door when it was a pull door. Haha, he doesn’t do that anymore, though!
Ara lives in the same neighborhood as me, and we’ve been practicing choreography together since we were trainees. We’ve gotten to know each other and gotten a lot of inspiration from each other. Nowadays, we don’t see each other often because of our busy schedules, but sometimes we meet up for a meal and then part ways. By the way, I heard that her wandering brother came home, but then he left again without saying that he was going to find another path… Ara was really upset, I guess family issues are hard.
I later found out that Lu was a former actress. When she heard that I was participating in a TV series, she came over and gave me acting advice. In return, I gave her sweets from a high-end dessert cafe in my neighborhood. She must have liked them, because we often bumped into each other in the neighborhood afterwards. Hehe, I suppose it was a good gift. I was happy to see Lu often~.
He’s a cool guy. He’s usually reserved and quiet so at first I felt distant from him, but he’s actually really sweet. Oh, and it turns out he’s a member of the gym I signed up for, so now I work out with him when our schedule aligns. Do you know Raven’s “Workout of the Day” selfie? It’s famous! Occasionally, I’m in some of the photos since I stand behind him often. Hehe, look it up.
He thinks I’m some kind of jack-of-all-trades. He keeps asking me if he can do something because he has heard or learned something unusual. At one point, I gave him a step-by-step explanation of why he couldn’t do it, making it as simple as possible to ensure he understood. He listened, and he said, “’So you can’t do it then? Okay,” and then he walked away like it was no big deal, and I got really frustrated…! There are many times when I wonder if he’s pushing my limits. These days, he has improved and demonstrates leadership qualities. I initially evaluated him as more acceptable, but I must have been mistaken. You’re still a long way off, kid!
He’s a multi-talented guy. Not bad. I suggested he try participating in broadcasts because I thought his talent was going to waste, and he did well. It’s all thanks to me. He’s one of the easiest guys to talk to because he’s gentle and understands what I’m saying. If only there were more like him around…
He’s the latest addition to the team. His personality and skills aren’t bad. However, he’s always shy and needs to work on his speech. It’s his first official debut on the team, so he may change once he relaxes. Still, I guess he’s not as timid as I thought since he isn’t afraid to point out things he believes are wrong. Keke.
She’s one of the few people in the entire ELSTAR project that I approve of. It’s amazing how she manages to do so many things so well. I had a chance to talk to her the other day, and she’s a dancer, a singer, an academic… Well, she’s pretty good at everything. Sometimes there are geniuses like this. Like me. Let’s just say that she’s a genius that I approve of. Heh.
Our leader’s older sister. She often barges into our practice room. I initially assumed she treated me like a younger brother because I was younger than her, but it turns out we are actually the same age. When I mentioned this to her, she laughed and said she didn’t realize but added, “You’re still like a younger brother.” It’s annoying because she has acted like an older sister ever since. What frustrates me even more is that I’ve grown accustomed to it and tend to overlook her behavior. Lately, I’ve just given up. There’s no point in trying to talk to them since they’re both equally stubborn.
The last time we met, he suggested that I start exercising, which I agreed to because I thought it would help improve my dancing. However, when I met him at the gym, he stared at me for a long time with a serious expression on his face. At first, I thought he was being strange. I told him that if he had something to say, he should talk to me instead of just staring. He asked whether I was eating at the right times, getting enough sleep, and if my lifestyle was out of balance. He also inquired about any medical conditions I might have. Then he provided me with a workout schedule and a diet plan, saying that I needed to change my lifestyle to stay healthy. Sigh, I just don’t have the body type to gain weight and muscle! It really has nothing to do with my lifestyle!
I’m not very good at getting along with other people because I’m not very talkative, but Elsword helped me a lot to settle into the team. Nowadays… We often hang out as the five of us, including my manager. I’m a little jealous of him because everyone is so close as if they’ve known each other longer than me. How do I practice getting along with other people…?
I was worried about joining a team that I admire… but Chung helped me feel a little more confident. He also helped me move my stuff into the housing, and I remember him lifting three boxes at once with little effort. Elsword is also very strong… do I need to be as strong to be a worthy member of trinityACE?
I’m a little scared of him because he has a sharp way of speaking… but I’m grateful since he coaches me to improve every time I practice. Oh, I’ve also been feeding a stray cat that I’ve been taking care of for a while now. Turns out, Add was the first one to come and take care of it. This made me think that he is a good person who cares about others more than he seems to. But when he saw me carrying cat food and treats, he scolded me, saying, “No wonder he’s been gaining weight lately.” So now we have been feeding him in turns… but it’s not something I should be scolded over, isn’t it?
I found MAZE slightly difficult, but Ciel takes good care of me by giving me homemade treats every time we meet. It reminds me of my older brother. His desserts are much better than the ones in shops… Would it be rude if I asked him to teach me how to make them next time…?
She’s a fellow Rookie, but unlike me, she’s very confident so I get nervous whenever we talk. I happened to go to the store where Lithia works part-time. She secretly gave me two coupons, saying it was a special service for Rookies. I’m not sure… but I don’t think she’s a bad person. Oh, I didn’t know if I could use both coupons… so I only used one.
I want to be good at both study and work like Aisha, but I don’t think I’m there yet. How does Aisha manage to manage both her idol career and her studies? Sometimes I feel like Aisha’s day is 48 hours long. Sometimes she and her manager play pranks on me, but she’s a really nice person… Wait, will this be posted publicly? I’m hoping you can leave that last part out…
