TRAINEE LIFE: For the most part her trainee life was quite normal and uneventful. She kept her behavior in check. She never got into scuffles or arguements. She really tried her best to be as friendly as possible. Her dancing was the weakest aspect when she entered the label, but after tons of practicing, she became pretty decent.Her teachers were wary of her, but soon came to respet her for her drive, stamina and improvement. She had casual friends but her most notable friend was Han Hyojoo, a former trainee. They were the ultimate duo. Hyojoo was an ace dancer, true main dancer material and Cleo had the voice of a goddess. However, it only lasted for about a year and half. At the end of 2013, Hyojoo left LOEN to care for her mother who was diagnosed with lupus. After Hyojoo's departure, Cleo actually felt lonely and unmotivated to make any other lasting friendships.

The Interview

Be truthful or let it come back to bite you
 

INTRODUCE YOURSELF NICELY:

✩ Hello! My name is Kang Sae rim. But you can call me Cleo! I'm currently a trainee at LOEN Entertainment.

EXPLAIN BOTH WHAT YOUr BEST SKILL IS, AND WHAT DO YOU WANT TO IMPROVE ON: 

✩ In all honestly, I feel that my best skill is my vocal. I've been practicing a lot since before training and I'm proud of how far I've come. I need to improve my dancing, it's not bad but it could be better. I hope this survival show will give me the push I need to improve.

WHY DID YOU choose PLAN A ENTERTAINMENT:

✩ Plan A and LOEN have provided me with the opportunity of a lifetime and I can't pass it up. Plan A is a great label with equally great trainees, I'd like to work with and look forward to it.

WHAT SIDE OF YOU DO YOU WANT THE VIEWERS AND JUDGES TO SEE: 

✩ I want them to see my passionate and my compassionate side, despite how I might act sometimes. I want them to see that I'm dedicated and give 100% and not one percent less.

ARE YOU REALLY PREPARED FOR THE HARDSHIPS, OR ARE YOU JUST FAKING IT:

✩ We all go through hardships, some more public than others. I'm here to suceed and show people that hardships should never be a reason to quit. I accept future hardships with dignity.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE IF YOU ARE ELIMINATED: 

✩ Keep trying. That's all I can say. There are plenty of people who've been eliminated from shows yet go on to be great. As long as motivations is intact, opportunities will come.  And also acting is something I've been contemplating as well.

Lee TAEYONG

PERSONALITY:

✩ Despite being portrayed as a negative person, he's actually extremely kind and considerate. Cleo has seen both sides of him, the jerk he used to be and admirable person he's become as an adult. It's takes some time for him to warm up to someone, but once he's warmed up there's no going back. He's affectionate, funny and gentle. He's not pushy or overbearing. He's a tad bit insecure, he really does care what others think of him.

FIRST MEETING:

✩ They originally met during middle school and also went to the same high school. In middle school, she sat in front of him and he would constantly bother her by poking her, spit balls and all of that other juvenile stuff. They became more friendly in high school. She would let him cheat off her sometimes, let him copy her homework. Slowly, they started becoming actual friends, hanging out after school, actually studying instead of copying.  Fun Fact: She was with him the day Taeyong got casted by SM. 

LOVE STORY:

✩ If you had asked her the age of 13, whether she'd ever be friends with a dude called Lee Taeyong, she'd say no. Not in a million years. At age 16, yes maybe so. After loathing him for all of middle school, high school marked a new chapter in their story. After being paired as lab partners for a full school year. She found herself realizing this guy had indeed changed. He was not the same kid who lacked regard for others, don't was someone generally misunderstood. She let go of her uptight self for a moment and allowd herself to befriend him and she has not regretted her choice since. After Taeyong became a full time trainee, they didn't talk as much, but they still kept in contact. He always knew she had a beautiful voice since she had sung at a couple of school parties in the past. He's the one that told her to audition to a label. Any label she wanted, as long as someone noticed her for her talent. They've always been at each other's side at their worst moments. Always had each other's backs. They can read each other's minds and finish each other's sentences. They know each other better than they know themselves and naturally feelings would start to develop. At this point, Cleo does have quite a crush on him, she hasn't told anyone and is actually very good at hiding it. Taeyong, on the other hand, has told s the feelings that he has. He hasn't told her because a) he's afraid of rejection and b) he truly does not want to risk their friendship if things go wrong.

STATUS: As of now: very close friends (probably the closest female friend he has), whom share feelings but are ignorant of them.
ENDING: together hopefully?? (I'm not 100% sure with what you mean by this but I'm assuming it's how they end by the end of the story.
