Park Jinri is ready for #NewEra
NICKNAMES »
♡ Tofu - since she was a child, she was called this because of her white skin that looks like tofu at times. Her parents gave her this nickname and it kinda stuck. Also she was squishy when she was a baby (like all babies) so maybe that's why her parents called her this.
♡ Ppang Jinri - her friends call her this because of her obsession with bread. They replaced "Park" (her surname) with "Ppang" (bread)
♡ RiRi - given to her because people just love repeating syllables. Not as much used as the other nickname.

Jinri is a nice person to be with, even if you're just merely acquaintances. She's really good in keeping a conversation alive because she never stops talking. There are times that she'll just talk about uninteresting topics and make them sound like they're actually of interest. Interestingly because of this, she's often seen as one of the more approachable unnie/dongsaeng. She doesn't complain, of course. In fact, she likes having more friends. She is most comfortable with friends and she often performs better when she knows her friends are there. She's also very playful. She really likes having fun, and she knows how to make the atmosphere more fun even in a slightly awkward setting. If it's not exactly obvious Jinri is a rather bright and happy person. She likes thinking positive things and she likes imparting happiness to other people through her actions and bright personality.
♡ Jinri's backround is a bit mundane. She's the only child of Park Jinyeon and the deceased Park Hosung. She had a relatively normal childhood. She attended regular school and got average grades, made lots of friends. The normal stuff.

TRAINEE LIFE »
♡ She was scouted while participating in a contest in her school. The talent scout gave her a card while he congratulated her for winning 2nd runner-up in the said talent show. A few weeks later, she was called to audition for SM entertainment. She auditioned for a dance position, and fortunately she passed.
Trainee life was not easy. There were lots of hard times. Harsh trainers, hard routines, diet, and with the added bonus of school made her really stressed out. She was tempted to quit very early on. The only thing that kept her going was the support of her friends. So she persevered and kept on training.
Halfway through her trainee life, a video of her dancing passionately to a church song went viral in Korean social media, earning her the name "eagle girl". She got a bit in trouble with the company for the unneccessary exposire but they let her slide when they discovered that she was only garnerning positive attention.
