ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐 . Lorien's journey as a producer began in 2019, and he quickly developed a reputation for his versatile production style, working with various K-pop groups and experimenting with multiple genres. His openness to different sounds has become a signature trait, keeping his solo work fresh and unpredictable. This adaptability is something he believes is key to his growth, allowing him to constantly surprise his audience with new layers to his artistry.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Lorien over the last 10 years has grown a collection of notebooks. His first notebook is for poetry and random thoughts a.k.a. his journaling notebook. He had begun journaling around the age of 15 and would often do it as a way to detach from his chaotic life. He would fill 2 to 4 notebooks per year so over the 10 years he filled 40 journals. He started keeping a lyric book to help with his new career in producing and composing. It had become something he did almost every day with writing lyrics. Usually, he would fill 3 to 5 lyric notebooks a year so over the last 10 years he filled around 25 notebooks. With sketching over 10 years, he has filled 18 notebooks. So in total, he has a collection of 83 notebooks from over 10 years since he was 15 years old.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Lorien hasn't told anyone this because he didn't know if he would be able to pursue the career he wanted due to the fact his mother was always pressuring him to be an opera singer like she was which he doesn't wanna do. Since he was a teenager he has always had an ideal career of being a horror book author just like Stephen King, who is his favorite author. But as of lately, he doesn't know if he can even pursue that anymore.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐.  Believe it or not, but in college, Lorien was more outgoing than he'd let people believe. He worked as a tutor, during his last two years in college to help pay for his studies since he wanted to be independent at the time and not have his parents pay for his tuition. He would help students understand musical theory and the basics. He worked at one of the booths on campus as well selling campus merch and worked with one of his teachers as well, so he had a lot of experience with earning his own money during this time.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Lorien is passionate about vintage film photography and has a collection of old cameras, some dating back to the 1970s. He finds beauty in capturing moments on film and enjoys the patience and unpredictability that come with analog photography. He often brings his cameras on tour to document his experiences and to see the outcome of what the camera looks like.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. With a distinct personal style, Lorien occasionally customizes his clothing to make it more unique. From adding patches to reworking old jackets, he treats his clothes as another outlet for creativity. Fans often spot these custom details in his outfits, adding a personal touch to his appearance.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜤ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Lorien finds his greatest inspiration in the early hours of the morning. He often rises at 5 a.m. to dive into his music or jot down lyrics, reveling in the quiet solitude that dawn brings. This early-morning routine not only kickstarts his day with a sense of purpose but also allows him to tap into a creative flow before the hustle and bustle of the world begins. It's during these peaceful moments that he feels most connected to his art, and it shows in the depth and authenticity of his work.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜤ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Lorien has a unique perspective on music, seeing it as a "language of emotions" that crosses cultural and linguistic boundaries. He often explains that he creates music not just for his audience but as a way to process his own experiences and better understand his inner world. This deeply personal approach gives his work an intimate vibe, allowing listeners to interpret and connect with the emotions behind each track. It's like he's inviting you into his mind, where every note tells a story and every lyric reveals a piece of his heart.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Lorien has become known as a perfectionist amongst collaborators and people he's worked with for songs, producing comments and songwriting over the last five years. He spends extensive time reworking tracks to achieve a specific vibe or emotional effect. He has never been afraid to take a song or melody back to step one if it doesn't meet what he thinks it should. His attention to detail is evident in his releases and songs. If it's not the way, he is envisioning the song or album then he'll just reverse all his work and start over from the beginning. He's not afraid to.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Lorien has developed a habit over the last five years of recording voice memos whenever inspiration, strikes, often catching himself, humming melodies, or muttering lyrics at the most random times of the day. His MacBook is filled with hundreds of quick recordings, many of which he turns into songs later. The recordings are a way for him to look back and create something he only had thought a little bit about. For each recording, he listens to it a couple of times before getting inspiration for a song. He once joked that if anyone hacked his MacBook, 'they'd only find a bunch of weird sounds and mumbled lyrics', but it also would be bad because they would steal his creative visions.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜤ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Lorien thinks of himself as an "old soul" and finds a special kind of joy in blending modern sounds with timeless classical influences, like opera and orchestral music. This unique fusion of old and new is a signature element of his work, showcasing both his rich heritage and his innovative spirit as a musician. He believes this combination makes his music relatable yet fresh, resonating with fans who appreciate his respect for tradition while keeping things current and exciting. So yeah, it's this charming mix that sets him apart.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Surprisingly before he debuted as an idol he was already well known on Twitter or what is now known as X. Back then Lorien was very outspoken on Twitter because of his funny rants and commentary about basically everything that was going on in his life or American politics because he hates America's politics. At the time no one knew who ran the account because the profile picture wasn't of him but it would pop up on most people's feet from time to time, especially with his sarcastic humor and iconic tweets. He became a Twitter icon easily because of it. It's even funnier when you realize that he still has the account and still using it for his nonsense ranting. The only reason why people know it's him now is because he has set the profile picture to himself. And a lot of his fans still follow the account and often laugh because who knew that their idol was a Twitter icon?

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Lorien is known by his friends and Valentines for his dry humor. He unintentionally has gone, viral more than once because of it. From deadpan responses in interviews to offhanded, sarcastic comments during live streams, his unfilled moments often end up as fan clips online. He's even admitted he is surprised by which moments fans find funny. Because he doesn't consider himself a funny guy, especially when he's kind of serious most of the time. But he's glad, he can make people smile, even if he is trying to be serious most of the time.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Lorien believe it or not ( because he is an old grandpa ) has an impressive memory for trivia. With his friends, he is known for casually dropping random facts in a conversation. It could range from several things. Like the year the Titanic sank to the shortest war in history. Things lots of people know but then things not a lot of people remember. It's something that surprises most people because he doesn't seem like the type to be into trivia. Most of the time people think he's joking until he hits them with a deadpan expression because he doesn't mess around when it comes to history or trivia facts. It's quite impressive when you think about it because how does he have that much storage in his brain to remember all those facts?!

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Though he has only done one of his tattoos on his body, Lorien enjoys, designing his tattoos. He has a small sketchbook, filled with tattoo ideas that go from a range of things. From quotes, symbols, drawings, to just about anything your mind can think of this boy has it in that sketchbook. Even Valentines tell him to go ahead and just get more tattoos, especially with how filled that sketchbook is.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Ever since Lorien was five years old, he has been a horror movie fan. Ever since his dad showed him Halloween on the night of October 31, 2004. Baby boy has been captivated ever since that fateful night. Even now 25 years of living on this earth, he still manages to be enthralled by many horror movies some new and some old. It doesn't matter he'll still be into horror even if it's a corny shitty $20,000 indie horror film. That's just the kind of person he is. He often hosts movie nights with his friends where they binge-watch, classic and indie horror films. The passion for horror extends to video games as well. He enjoys playing horror RPG games that challenge his skills because, in real life, he would not survive these movies at all. His favorite horror game is the original Silent Hill 2.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Lorien has a very unique collection of vintage vinyl records. Most of these vinyl records are rare classical music albums like Bach's The Goldberg Variations & Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 but in other cases not so much. The other part of the collection is vinyls that contain the soundtrack of some of his favorite horror movies like Halloween and Scream. Which is very him so to say, because if it was anyone but him I don't think anyone else would understand, so yeah. Oh, and also, he often draws inspiration from these vinyl records. Both from the rare ones and from the soundtracks.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Known as the "late-night philosopher" among his friends, Lorien often dives into deep conversations at the most unexpected hours, chatting about everything from the universe's mysteries to the significance of dreams. These late-night talks have become a cherished tradition for his friends, who love seeing this thoughtful side of him. He might seem serious, but his unique perspective and humor make these discussions anything but boring. So yeah, if you catch him up late, expect some mind-bending ideas mixed with a good laugh.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. OK, all the times Lorien has said he knows nothing about romance so he can't give romance advice is true, but is also a lie. So he's a liar. Don't believe him. Lorien is somewhat of a hopeless romantic, especially when it comes to his significant other, but only his significant other. But most of the time when he's in a relationship, he acts like a complete dork, which is cute but also very funny. But anyway, yeah, he's a hopeless romantic, which is very adorable.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. Lorien has a wistful connection to his inner child, stemming from a childhood he feels was cut too short. While he had a supportive upbringing, he often reflects on the moments he missed and wishes he could have embraced the simplicity and joy of being a child for a little longer. This aspect of him emerges in subtle ways, such as his love for whimsical art and imaginative storytelling. He often shares this side with his close friends and Valentines, creating a safe space where he can express his creativity and enjoy lighthearted moments. However, he remains selective about who sees this part of him, as he tends to guard his more vulnerable emotions around those he doesn't know well.

ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ//ʟᴏʀɪᴇɴꜰᴀᴄᴛꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ ͏᭥ㅤ ͏ 𖤐. The last fact and the truest fact of them all is that Lorien is a lover of dad jokes, even though he may not look like he is. It's true. To him, his dad tells the best dad jokes because he's been a dad for 25 years, so he knows what he's doing. These jokes are not just corny one-liners; they hold a special place in his heart. Whenever his dad delivers a punchline, it's like a hit of nostalgia. Lorien often tries to share these jokes with his friends, and while some might roll their eyes, he secretly believes there's a certain charm in their simplicity. He finds that a good dad joke can lighten the mood and create a bond over shared laughter. So, if you catch him cracking a smile at a particularly cheesy pun, just know it's something he generally likes and finds funny.
