FASHION STYLE ☆  Sarang was always that type of girl that would dress to impress, even if she was just going to stay indoors watching a movie, she would always try to look the best she could ! After all you never know what is going to happen, who you're going to meet all of a sudden. She loves to pick different type of clothes and join them all. If it's a mess ? No, it looks really good on her because she wears it with confidence. The randomness of her choices, are what makes her unique, since she can choose different pieces and create a lovely outfit that others might look down upon. She's a fan of high heels and loves to collect hats, every type of hat, but normally doesn't use them. 

☆ Don't lose who you are

Love yourself

PERSONALITY ☆ 

Sarang is arguably the most complex of all her band members, so there are seemingly many contradictions in her personality until you look close enough to see the layers. Sarang can be very confident. She has no problem interacting with people right away, and she has a way of rolling with the interviewers even at times people find themselves cringing of second hand embarrassment from the off-topic questions. She, on the other hand, manages to brush things off as jokes if she doesn’t want to discuss it or answer them, with an ease that is admirable. She is always with a attitude that screams ‘think what you want of me, I don’t even care’. She also seems more than comfortable with going out on her own, or spending time by herself. This suggests not only a ease with getting along with anyone she meets, but a self assuredness that she can enjoy what she’s doing on her own - and that’s a sign of maturity. In the same way, however, Sarang can sometimes be very insecure.. She has a very visible outward confidence and she has an ability to charm people in both a friendly and flirty way and I don’t think she’s shy in the slightest. But, she has a lot of “am I good enough” moments. We can see it almost everyday if we spend a lot of time with her, in the way that in every interview when she’s talking she almost always looks to the other members as though she’s seeking confirmation that what she is saying is alright. She seems like she needs someone there telling her “yes you’re right, you’re ok”. So, because of that, insecurity would make her need to be surrounded by affectionate people that can reaffirm the fact that she’s not going to be left alone and that she IS good enough. People find  interesting that a majority of her friends are boys. I personally don’t think it has anything to do with the fact that she is afraid of being friends with a girl!  I think it has more to do with the fact that boys are typically more openly affectionate with their friends, so they would offer more hugs and “I love you’s” and more deep and personal conversations, which is what she needs to feel connected and important and just needed.

She seems very ready to be an adult; especially in the emotional sense. In a lot of ways though, Sarang seems to be dominated by these emotions. She is very impulsive, she seems to have a tendency to act upon her initial emotional response. In multiple occasions we can see  her giving in to sadness, jealousy (in getting almost moody when a certain member’s attention is off of her and onto someone else) and many times crying on stage. Sarang is someone who is not afraid to recognize her emotions and isn’t one to try to hide them or force them down. She’s  easy to read; she wears her emotions on her sleeve clear and open for anyone who takes the time to notice them. She is also very empathetic, she is able to identify her own emotions and  can also easily identify those emotions in other people. In the same way she responds really well to what people need in the moment, and it’s this ability, which I think is part of why people so easily grow fond of her,  the strong ability to empathize, is typical among people who are comfortable with children because they are able to respond to the child’s inability to vocalize what they need, and she can do that, since she deals with a lot of baby cousins in the family. On a slightly negative side, her impulsive tendency to react to emotions can also get her into trouble, because I think she wouldn’t shy away from calling someone out when she was angry, or at least failing to disguise her anger, or upset etc. On another negative note, it can make her  very vulnerable to conflict because sometimes she seems to lack the ability to understand why people don’t think the way she does and see things the way she does. Sarang doesn’t  like to be in charge. It makes her feel closer to people if they are the ones demanding something of her, and her being able to give to!  It gives her  the security and feeling that she has made them happy. In this way I believe this reflects once again to her ultimate desire to feel needed and wanted and why she admits to being attracted to confidence. It’s impossible to overlook the fact that Sarang simply has that “it” factor. There isn’t much to say on the topic, because it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what about her it is that draws people to her the way that she does. And yet it’s pretty hard to dispute the idea that she seems to be the crowd favorite and in a lot of ways I don’t think you can narrow it down to one or two characteristics. She’s Choi Sarang - a normal person who is just good at being famous, whether she intends to be or not.

BACKGROUND ☆ 

Choi Sarang was born and raised in Kyoto, Japan, to a Korean mother and Korean father. Her parents both had successful jobs so money never was a problem for them, they were stable as doctors in Japan. Growing up, Sarang had a fairly normal childhood. She is the middle child of ther family, having a older and younger brother, she's the only girl. While her two brothers were amazing at school, Sarang never liked school that much, she never had amazing grades either. Sarang reportedly learned guitar in the eight grade. In her last year of junior high, Choi Sarang learned both classic guitar and how to play the piano. She is actually a student under Seoul of Performing Arts majoring in singing, and she will graduate this year. Sarang was a Superstar K2 Contestant while she was spending her vacations in Korea, finishing in second place. After initial success with Superstar K2, CEO Yang Hyun Suk signed Sarang to YG Entertainment on January 12, 2010, so she moved to Korea all alone and started to live with her aunt and uncle. She was enrolled in dance and acting classes, including modeling classes as well. Her journey as an artist became bigger with the role in the movie "Rurouni Kenshin" the live action of the anime of the same name, as Kaoru, in 2012. That was the first step she gave in acting. After 2 years of training under YG, Sarang and the CEO both agreed on ending Sarang's contract. YG Style wasn't what Sarang really wanted, so she auditioned to Jessica's Jung company where she finally debuted.

FAMILY ☆ 

» Father, Choi Won Bin | 55 | doctor | wise, caring, down to earth, funny | her father is like her bestfriend, they talk a lot about everything. She is daddy's little girl.
» Mother, Moon Sun Gah | 55 | doctor | strict, motherly, talented, motherly |they fight quite a lot, yet they are really alike and they love each other a lot, Sarang says she wants to be like her mom when she grows up.
» Older Brother, Choi Min Joon | 24 | university student | cocky, conceited, vain, smart | Minjoon always protected Sarang as if she was very fragile and precious, now they don't spend a lot of time together because he is still studying in Japan, but they still keep in contact everyday.

» Younger Brother, Choi Song Min | 15 | high school student | loyal, smart, hardworking, empathetic | They are very close. The same way Minjoon used to take care of Sarang while she was younger, she now takes care of Song Min. She is constantly worried if he skipped any meals, if he is sleeping well or getting good grades.

FRIENDS ☆ 

» Bestfriend, Song Mino | 21 | Main Rapper in WINNER | confident, charismatic, willy, kind | they are very close since trainee days and get along perfectly well, yet they fight a lot, like real siblings, they are constantly praying pranks on each other, yet they are together in everything. She even was mentioned in WINNER's THANK 's To.
» Bestfriend, Kang Mirae (OC) | 20 | PLEDIS Trainee | flirt, self-critical, ambitious | sisters from different mothers because nobody would handle them both in the same house.

☆ PASTEL RED

"WORK HARD UNTIL YOUR IDOLS BECOME YOUR RIVALS"

QUESTION REGARDING THE PLOTLINE ☆  I think Im Jenn fits the plotline, she is y and cute at the same time, she can dress cute, y, rebel, sporty and still look good ! But you can use my back-up if you want, I think she is good too ahah

QUESTION REGARDING THE PLOTLINE ☆  Her personality is kind of complex I know, but if you read it with a lot of attention you will understand her, and I think she is lovely and one of a kind to be honest HAHAHAH

☆ Jeon Jungkook

IM JAEBUM + KIM JONGIN

PERSONALITY ☆  You know how vanilla ice cream is sweet and simple yet popular enough that everyone likes it ? That's how you can describe Jungkook. He likes to keep to himself and when people try talking to him he occasionally will shy away from them because he had built a shell around himself, although he has a shy personality he does have the occasional times where de 'd have the soft burst of confidence and he'll go up to someone and introduce himself to get to know them and make friends. His social skills aren't the best and occasionally he might just seem so meek, a bit off putting and annoying which he doesn't try to be, he just has this fear of someone trying to hurt him that he's scared of the most. When he is on stage and on camera, his personality changes drastically, he becomes y, not afraid to embrace a new role. Jungkook is also very funny, sometimes maybe too much, he likes to make lame jokes. People will eventually laugh even if the jokes are not funny at all.

RELATIONSHIP+ HISTORY ☆  Do you know those lame love stories, when the boy and the girl just kind of look at each other and everything else becomes secundary, moving in slow motion ? It might seem a scene taken from a movie, but it was exactly like this that Jungkook and Sarang fell for each other when they both went to Mino's birthday party 2 years ago. And when I say 'fell', I mean, falling hard, deep in love with each other. Sarang is the epitome of perfection in Jungkook's eyes and when he first laid his eyes on her, he knew it was kind of love at first sight. The way the wind played against her hair, the way she smiled shyly when someone compliments her, he definitely started to pay attention to the small details. All of this might sound too cliche, but Jungkook is the man of her life, she is crazy about him while he definitely is completely in love with her. However, they can't just voice their feelings as if it was nothing, they both have a image to keep, in the moment they become famous, and now that Sarang is also a KPOP idol, they almost lose their private life, so when they are together in public, they don't speak much nor have any physical contact, but people can see how much they care about each other, because of the way he looks at her, how how she blushes when she notices his breathtaking smile. Even though Sarang is older than him, he makes her feel like a baby.
