“大丈夫?(Are you okay?)”

MINO YAMANOTO, stage name MINO, was born in Akita, Japan on December 20, 2004. He was born on the time of heavy snowfall, in the middle of winter. Growing up, he got used to the cold, and doesn’t need a bunch of jackets. In his Minka, or his Japanese-styled traditional home, he had an onsen, and often bathed in it. It gave him a sense of comfort. When he was 4, his parents moved him to Tokyo, where he found a house similar to his old house with an onsen, which made him happy. When he entered elementary school, he was just a normal kid in school. In 6th grade, he had a crush on a girl. He asked her out and they started dating, only for a month. His girlfriend often sexually assaulted him by touching his privates and thighs without consent. After a month, he called the break up. During summer, his girlfriend hired a killer to go over MINO. It almost worked, if he hadn’t realized sooner. In his home, he was eating his lunch he got from his local Lawsons, when he noticed something off, as if someone was watching him. He looked out the window to see a sniper aiming at him. Just a millisecond later, the bullet fired. He threw himself backwards, nearly missing his head. After he found out that it was his girlfriend that hired the killer, him and his mom went to court and sued his ex-girlfriend 10000000 yen (~65000 USD). After that, he proceeded to enter middle school. That was where his life got better. He was often elected as the best and prettiest boy in the school. Everyone knew his name. When he was 14, a neighbor moved right next to him, and that neighbor turned out to be HARPER, which was only a year younger than him, 13. They quickly became friends and always came to each others houses. The parents also quickly became friends. They would always go out to hangout and eat. They became friends because of their similar hats and accessories. One day, MINO told him that he was planning to be an idol in Korea. HARPER agreed and said we can be a duo alone! So, anytime they got, they would practice dancing & singing, and also Korean. HARPER shortly moved to MINO’s school. MINO was 8th while HARPER was 7th. When HARPER entered the school, his popularity quickly gained as well. They all called him MINO’s boyfriend, but neither HARPER or MINO cared. They were so close they actually look like they were dating. There was even a time MINO had a crush on HARPER for a month, but never told him. At first, he questioned his sexuality, but he eventually settled as Gay but also Aroace. MINO was basically there with HARPER when life was hard for him, like a therapist. MINO is really passive personality wise. He loved helping people! In MINO’s 8th grade year, MINO was elected as school president for a month. When MINO was 15, he auditioned online for JYP Auditions, and passed! He flew to South Korea with HARPER when he was 17, and HARPER was 16. They trained until MINO was 20 and HARPER was 19. Then they were put into a survival show. Now, they debuted into PERIASTRON along with one new member, and his old school was named after him, Mino Middle School.
