— WHO IS RYU NICKY?
he’s a TWENTY year old wannabe, born DECEMBER 31, 2002. he’s currently eyeing SR MEDIA and lives by the words “just because i say that i miss you doesn’t mean that i should ever see you again.”
maybe you should learn more or ask him a question.

the auditions he goes to have become fewer and farther between these days; school keeps him busy, something he actually enjoys, and he’s become much more discerning about who he sends his likeness to these days. a few bad actors and predatory offers taught nicky not only to be a little more cautious, but that he can trust his father to negotiate a good deal for him should he ever land a gig. he appreciates it; trust in a parent has not been easy to build since his mother shattered it over and over again; if it was a mirror, he’s sure she has centuries of bad luck at this point.
nicky reads over the casting call again, wondering if he has any existing videos on his phone that might serve this purpose. surely there’s something from summer break, from when he had time to mess with lighting and worry about the sound and record over and over again until it was perfect. there’s one, he realizes, that might work. his thumb mashes over the play button and he watches himself with a critical eye rather than cringe when his own face greets him with a smile that feels a little foreign on his face.
“hello, my name is ryu nakhun, but everyone calls me nicky,” he watches himself bow, “i’ll be singing a cover from nana today. thank you for your consideration.”
he didn’t delete the video, so of course it’s not half bad. and the best part is that he ended up not sending this one to the company he was thinking about last summer, so as far as anyone knows it’s perfectly unique. work smarter, not harder, nicky’s lips quirk into the tiniest smile as he sends the video to his laptop, ready to upload with the rest of his application.
it only takes a couple of minutes of filling out his information before he hits send.
