About le cirque
The Cirque du Freak was founded by a woman named Lee Hyori in 1999 in Paris, France. Though it held the title of Circus, it was a freak show. The members of this troupe were human, though some may not look it. Each member of the circus had some sort of special ability that set them apart from the rest of humanity.
The Cirque Du Freak was operational for two years in Paris until the French authorities shut it down upon learning of its existence and coming to the conclusion that Lee Hyori was forcing these special humans to perform against their will. While they were wrong, and each of the ‘freaks’ tried to say so, the Circus was forced to close, and Lee Hyori and her nephew
were deported back to South Korea. It wasn’t long after returning to South Korea when Hyori came up with a new idea. Despite the fact that Korea, too, had a ban against Freak Shows, Hyori managed to come up with a way to keep them from finding out. Instead of allowing the members to leave when they wanted, she would make only one rule — if you join, you cannot leave. While some members eventually disregarded the rule and ran, most took the rule to heart. It was supposed to be a safe haven for their kind, and if someone left, it could put everyone in danger.
The Cirque became commonly known as the Midnight Circus, named after the fact that the Cirque opened to the public at Midnight. Despite each member’s ability being very real, the public considers them mere illusions whose only supernatural aspect is the difficulty to figure them out.
In December of 2012, everything changed. Just before the Cirque went down to the second largest city in South Korea, Busan, to stay for their shows, Lee Hyori went missing. The only item of hers that remained behind was a letter to her nephew, detailing that she had willingly and purposely left the Cirque. She placed her nephew in charge, and he composed a highly convincing lie to keep the other performers calm - That Hyori simply left in search for more ‘freaks’.
Now, running the Cirque by himself at the mere age of 21, Lee Taemin must do everything he can to ensure the safety of the freaks.
