What makes you, You...?

personality. 

SWEET.  mature, independent, intelligent, fast learner, strong-willed
keen, observant, secretive, decisive, reserved, honest  .COOL
HOT.  cold, stubborn, sceptical, apathetic, grudge holder, artificial

if you compare her with a fruit, yona will be a ripe granny smith apple. its color makes it looks like an unripe apple, but it actually is fully ripen. she looks young in appearance, but she actually has matured inside. the way she talks, the way she thinks, and the way she behave. 'dont because she is young' that words seem to suit her. she might be young but she is intelligent with the iq of 156. due to her intelligence, she learns things easily. along with her observant trait, she can understand unspoken things. telling apart lies and truth is a piece of cake. catch on hidden intention or hidden meanings between words, also understanding the thing behind one's action is not a difficult thing for her. due to that ability of her, she knows when is she being deceived or being lied to.

due to her unpleasure of lies and such, she tends to be honest which might sound like a good thing. however, sometimes it does make her seems impudent. she tends to feel like she gets betrayed when someone deceive her or lied to her. so it makes her can't trust someone easily. in some case, the people she is close to aren't an exception to get suspected from her. but well, let's just say that it's her way of being objective. probably because of that reason too, she rarely seek someone else's help and do most things by herself. but well, if we think positively it can be that she doesn't want to burden someone even though the reason is actually the first one

in first impression, people see her as a cold and unapproachable girl, and the truth is she is. due to her sceptical trait too, it kinda difficult for her to open up to someone. she is reserved and tends to keep things by herself. she also is the type of person who finds it difficult to express herself, whether it's by words or actions. probably because of that, it makes her tends to hold grudges, as she can't really talk her feels out. she also is an apathetic person. well, it's not that she doesn't actually interested with her surroundings. it's just that she is the type who could care less about the things happened around her if she wants. she actually is also a person who can't really empathize with others

however sometimes, especially when she is on camera, she fakes it out. using her impressive acting skill to fake such things like reactions, expressions, etc. despite of her young age, she is a strong-willed girl. she won't do things she doesn't like or things that don't appeal to her. such as things she doesn't see as something that bring impact or benefit to her. however, once she has set a target or plan, she would do it earnestly, and would put her all to that. she is clear to the things she likes and dislikes, and usually is hard to be led far from her own will

background. 

kim yona was born and raised on taipei, taiwan due to her parents' business matter. being in the condition where she was born with a golden spoon in , her parents see works as the most priority. she also rarely get their attentions so she mostly sided up with her siblings, seeking their attentions in her parents' attention stead. she grew up pretty much like children her age. well, at least before the traffic accident that killed her older brother and sister on 2012, in which she was the sole survivor in the accident. that was the thing that changed her. she even suffered from selective mutism for a little over 6 months. and she became quiet and aloof (like she is now) once she recovered.

after building her grandfather's trust for long, yona's father finally got to get the ceo position in his father's headquarter company in south korea. so her father moved to south korea on 2012. followed by her mother who moved there on 2013 because of her company new branch in opening in south korea. however, since her mother moved when it was just a few months until the second semester ended, her mother then handed her to her maternal grandparents who lived there, before finally followed her parents to south korea on september 2013. there wasn't much difference of her life there and her life back in taiwan. until on the early 2014, she decided to audition for yg entertainment monthly audition.

due to her ripe dance skill she sharpened for 4 years, and her unusual charisma that overflowed when she dances, she passed the audition and started to become yg entertainment's trainee since then. unbeknown for people around her, she didn't audition because she wanted to be an idol. but she trained because she wanted to escape from her parents. she never felt to be her parents' daughter, as she always feels like they are strangers. she herself rarely see her parents, so she thought that it was useless to live with her parents. she trained dilligently, there. however it's sure wasn't that easy. she never had a thought of leaving, however eventually had to leave because of health issue.

when she got hospitalized, she got visited by her mother's stepnephew(?), lee sunghwa, or known as gray. gray is her maternal uncle's step son, which made them become cousins. knowing that yona was an ex yg trainee, gray told her to audition for aomg after she covered, while giving her a spoiler that aomg had a plan to form a girl group. taking his words seriously, yona actually auditioned for aomg not long after recovering. she auditioned by dancing. she also rapped shortly. and of course, her training in yg wasn't a waste. she immediately passed the audition and officially became aomg trainee on december 2015

relationships. 
 

close friend; kang chanhee, 17*, actor / fnc trainee (neoz school)

this boy miraculously got close with yona. both of his parents were friends with her parents. and coincidentally, they were classmates in middle school. once, both of his parents had to go overseas due to works. as they didn't have maid, they made a favor to her parents to take care of him while they go, since yona's houshold had butlers and chauffeurs. so chanhee stayed in her house for almost a month and they ended up went to school and went home back together for those periods. they became close friends since then
 

maternal cousin; han sejeong, 21*, university sophomore

unfortunate for sejeong, her parents divorced when she was 15. she lived with her mother since then. however unfortunately, her mother died in a traffic accident two years later. as her mother had cut connection with her father, yona's mother decided to take her in, as sejeong is her sister's daughter. even though yona built barrier between them, they eventually grew closer as time goes by. sejeong even sometimes brings her for shopping, even though it will ended up with sejeong picking things for her, as yona doesn't really like to go shopping. if not shopping, they would usually go for delicious things or such.
 

stepcousin(?); lee 'gray' sunghwa; 31*; singer, producer (aomg)

yona wasn't that close to him as they didn't frequently meet before. furthermore they both have a tendency to not speak much. however, after she joined aomg, he started to monitor her and give feedbacks to her to show his support. probably due to the fact that they are related. or might because of his growing bonds to her.

*i just realized this, but  金约拿 (jīn, yuē ná) is literally her name written in hanja. and since she was born and raised in taiwan, so her name in her birth certificate sould be 金约拿 instead of 김요나. however since her name is literally kim yona, so i wrote kim yona on the title

scene requests.

– group prank on the leader
– aomg artists & staffs' welcome party for romwe
– yona gets in trouble because of disappearing late at night
– yona & chanhee's dating scandal followed by another member's dating scandal in the similar period. it made them get more popular, and then it followed by romwe's first win and probably first variety show as well (wth is this omfg)
