nationality ; Korean
languages ;
1. Korean // Fluent
Well. It is her mother-language. 
2. English // Advanced
Her Parents think that international language is a must, so they enrolled her to an english-course since elementary school. She also went for summer-camp overseas for few times. I would not say that she is fluent, as she just use her english on special occasion. But her english ability is beyond most of people. 
3. Japanese // Basic
Just a language that is being taught in both school and company, but she finds it hard and struggled with it. but managed to do some things like introduction, thank you, etc.

appearance
She was a not-too-tall girl with long legs. Despite standing in 165cm, her legs could be considered as a long once. She enhireted her father's strong face and her mother's round eyes. People said that she got a elementary-school body due to her unvoluminous posture, but she actually got a board shoulder that still makes her look huge and stand-out. She got big-bones, and that made up the most of 49kg in her body. So even though she looks super thin, the number won't be that good. 

 

personality ; 

(+) Sociable, Confident, Smooth Talker
(=) Perfectionist, Good Listener, Extroverted
(-) Undervalue herself, fake, low-tempered

Both of her parents are mostly introverted, so her grandmother from father's side often said that her sociable and extroverted personality came from her uncle which is an entertainer, Cha Taehyun. She was a confident girl, that type of girl that will raise her hand as high as she can when the teacher asks who wants to be the lead on a school's play. In new environtment, she is a girl that will approach you first and will make you feel comfortable and accepted immediately. She also has the ability to lure people in with her words, so that the person will do as she please. She is an expert in making friends, thanks to her personality, but people find it hard to keep the friend-ship with her since they don't know when Jinhye would turn her back against them. Because she has this personality that people often described as 'two-face', or fake. Jinhye could be the one who stuffed people with beautiful lies just to make them do as she please, or to get rid of people who was on her way. So instantly, she was the one that is different on and off camera. It is really hard to determine whether she really likes you, or she is just being nice to you according to manner. But if she already clicked to a person, she is actually a good person. She is the best in comforting people and listening to other's problem, even though she is not best when it comes to giving solution. 

However, being the second daughter out of two make her parents often compared her with her Unnie who is currently studying abroad. She is a total opposite of her sister. If the sister is a book-smart, then she is more like a street-smart type, in which she uses her right-side brain more than the left-one. But having father that works in embassy, and the mother which is a nutritionist, left-brain and book-smart are definitely everything. Having her parents constantly praising her sister make her often undervalue herself---when she is not that stupid either, as she managed to maintain average B+ at school. Behind the extrovert mask, her inscurities are saved deep down inside, which often made her feel stressed and that affect her anger-management. She got low-temper, especially if people try to criticize her and compare her to other people. Sure, she did not really show it by throwing tantrum but her expression says it all. She is the type who will just stay quiet if pissed off, but may do something back in return. And often being constantly compared make her alwayswant to be the best and got a high standard. It is really hard to pleae herself, as she always want to best so that others won't able to compare her to another one--or if they do, the victory is hers.

life as a trainee
(Nega Network)
She started to be a trainee in Nega Network in the end of 2012, few months after she was eliminated from the audition of KPOPSTAR2. In the company, she was the only trainee without an ability to dance.  After the debut of LUNAFLY before, she was originally planned to be placed in their band-project. But seeing that Female Band concpet is not that appealing to the public, the plan was cancelled and she was immediately forced to learn how to dance. Being new to the dancing scene, she started off poorly and often being picked by the instructor since her movement was stiff and she kinda found it hard to remember choreography. That's why, she was mostly hanging out with the band, LUNAFLY, as she was closest with Taeho who also played Keyboard. She was also kind of close with E.Den, as they both met each other once in Canada few years aback. But then there was a chaos happened to the company in middle 2014 which made Jaedyn left the group, and Taeho followed afterwards. They've been in downfall since then and the company did not show any sign of debuting any girls. So with lots of thoughts, Jinhye chose to left the company. She then tried really hard to learn how to dance from Rome and Dabin that he met through E.Den and submitted a demo to Yedang Entertainment in the end of 2014. 

(Yedang Ent.) 
Personally, she found the trainee period in Yedang Entertainment more intimidating, even though she was used to the trainee-atmosphere. With her ability, she fought the hardest to the top without thinking about other stuff. This makes some of the trainees did not really like her and she was mostly alone during the period. For some period, she felt like the training-life was not getting anywhere. But when 'Up and Down' climbed back to the chart, Jinhye knew that miracle might happen. As she was sure that the company might use the rise of EXID to launch another girl-group. And she was just right. The Company announced and they would be picking some girls for their new project, and Jinhye could not help but works to the hardest, even when it means that she needed to pushed another people. Her attitude problem was once become a problem as she was almost replaced by another girl--since her vocals are also not that strong if you compared to the main vocalist--but then the company do a back-ground check and found out that she was a niece of Cha Taehyun, which Jinhye tried to hid all this time. They thought that it would be a great way to promote and boost their new girl-group, plus Jinhye's ability in writing Lyrics maight also became a charm so they decided to keep her in the group.

love interest ; Lee Byunghun (L.Joe) // Teen-Top
backup love interest ; Hong Dabin (Known as Live) // Video Director, Composer, B-Boy.
relationship ; close friends. One-sided Crush on Ljoe's side.
personality ;
L.Joe was rather shy yet friendly. He was not talk much, and loves to act better. He was kind of a social-awkward in new environtment, but could easily adapting if he knew some people in the new environment. He was rather quiet outside, but actually very funny and hyperactive once he was familiar with the environment. He really takes care of his images. He is a caring one when it comes to sensing what happened to the surrounding, and could easily tell when someone was not in good-mood. He was a faith one, but he did believe in love in first sight. He was ot really good at expressing himself, but still prefer to talk it out rather than keep it. He was not a romantic type or the one who loves PDAs, but he would show affection to his loved one in his way.
 
first meeting & interactions
They both officially meet for the first time when Jinhye was on one of her summer program in States, when L.Joe was still in United States. But the fiirst meeting did not really good as Jinhye was in a terrible badmood that times and L.Joe simply acted the way Jinhye treated him. They never met again after the program until they met again through Taeho some time in 2013. This time, it hit of well. At first, he wanted to play cupid by setting Taeho and Jinhye up, 'They both just seem lonely and need love', he reasoned. But it turned about bad as Jinhye ended up dating her other accuintances, Dabin. On the other side, he was still keep in contact with his first love. Jinhye broke up five months afterwards, not long since his first love got a boyfriend. since he was not really busy at the moment, he was the one that calmed Jinhye by showing up in nega network secretly and took her to a 'healing trip' as he said. Being a friend he was, Taeho took this chance to set them up back, but they ended up pulling a prank on him. The 'supposed to be a date' was turned out like a normal hang-out for Jinhye, and but it brought her to a new light for L.Joe. He began to think about her more and more, and often get teased by fellow TeenTop Members because of that. When Jinhye moved to Yedang, L.Joe became a bit anxious that Jinhye and Dabin would get back together as Jinhye was now in smae company as Dabin's best friend. He began to called her more often afterwards---in which Jinhye took it that he was just being paranoid that she would meet her ex more often and still not get over him so she just said 'You don't need to call me everyday, I am fine. We are in good terms. You must be busy,' which makes him even more anxious. He confessed to her once, but it was in April 1st in which Jinhye took it lightly as a joke. 

As for the interaction, they were just any other friend. Even though the friendship boundaries were not as close as Jinhye with Taeho. They often threw some friendly insult, and they might ended up not talking for few days. They often hung out together, but none really knew it as L.Joe neer said anything about it, not even to Taeho. They gave each other various nicknames--which none of them becomes permanent in the end. Both really enjoy coffee, so they often met at the coffee shop and talked about some random stuff. L.Joe managed to take Jinhye to cinema wants, but they both ended up sleeping throughout the movie so they never went to cinema together again afterthat. 
 
future relationship ; I want them to get together. But please make Jinhye got back with Dabin for a while first. 

 

 
comments ; I just hope that you like her. And please read some notes in family-section, i wrote it there so that you don't need to scroll it back. Thank you :) 
suggestions ; Rainbow, KARA, or Wondergirls' songs would be nice. Also a radio appearance and cameo in 1N2D would be great to show some affection between Jinhye and Cha Taehyun. 
password ; i am not watching any of them, but i saw this girl named Nayeon on twitter and i find her pretty :)
