✾ SEREIN'S #8 : Jin Soojin / Quinn Soo Jin (진수진)
(-) perfectionist, sarcastic, naughty, rebel,moody, and blunt
Her hard-working traits creates a negative trait for her which perfectionist. She won't stop until she thinks it's perfect, that's how she got her OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). You won't find any mess or dust in her room. This is another hidden trait of her, people who just know her would think she's your typical messy-funny-witty person which she's not. She's very serious when it comes to working and practicing but after the training sessions ended she would play around again. Her seriousness in practicing also makes her become strict. People would thought she has two different personalities because of this too. Sometimes she would be sarcastic when she hears people asking some retorical questions especially when she's in her mood-swings. Her sarcasm is beyond your level of sarcasm, the first sentence that would came out from is 'what the hell'. Her honesty also could brings out her sarcasm, for example someone asks her 'what do you think about this dress?', if she think it doesn't that person she would answer 'Well if you're asking for diplomatic answer it would be yes but honestly, no. That's , I mean, you're with that dress'. Her believe in the 'rules are made to be broken' also creates her rebel personality, she would break the law and would never think she's in fault, she would give out rational explaination. You could say, she's clever enough to keep herself out of trouble.
Soojin attended Cheongdam Elementary School and a bright student during her school years. Not only genius, she also a rebel but not a lot of teacher told her off because she didn't have any problem with her scores. Soojin was a top student and even participated in the national science olympic, placed first. Her rebelness was shown ever since she was a little but her rebelness started to wrosen as she skipped school to go to the arcade with her friends when she was in fourth grade, she and her friends were reprimanded by the teachers but her parents decided to let her as it was her first skipping-thingy. Her parents' patience ran out when she skipped the school to go to Hongdae and watch movies with her friends when she was in fifth grade. They decided to sent her to a boarding school, not in the States or England but to St.George's International School, a boarding school located in the residential suburb of Clarens, near Montreux, overlooking Lac Leman and the Alps, Switzerland. Soojin didn't like their decision but just got along with it.
She moved after she finished her fifth grade to started year 7 in St.George's. She attended the school until she gradated from year 9. In that school, she met a lot of people from all around the world. She also learns French as her second language class. Soojin was also on of the top student back then. Yij learned tennis the first time in that school and eventually fell in love with that sport. She also plays piano and the main pianist for the school's orchestra. Ij senior school, she learned golf and also joined the club as she loved th sport just like tennis. She was the school council's president for three years consecutive years. Soojin loves being with her friends from different countries and hardly ever skipped class. Soojin met her-now-best friend Anna Keen who came from New York, they both had the same history on why they were sent to St.George as a boarding student. Anna is the one who introduces her to Eminem's music. Soojin started listening to his music and started to listening to hip-hop music. She also met her-alo-current best friend Kang Haneul who loves Tiger JK and Yoon Mirae's music. The three of them became best friends since the first time they met.
Soojin graduated from St.George's International School as a valedictorian and went back to South Korea in 2010. They sent her overseas and let her back only to send her to Seoul Foreign School, Although she stopped all her 'rebel-symptopms', her parents didn't let her to entered Sunhwa Arts School. She made a promise with her parents, if she managed to get 1st place on her first year without any events (such as running away or skipping), they would let her to do any audition in any entertainment company. So they agreed and Soojin showed them that she has changed. She came first on her first year in SFS and eventually went for an audition to YG Entertainment, a company that for her clearly support hip hop and rappers to become an idol. She performed her song 'Getting 'Em' that she wrote by herself, she passed the audition in one try and became a YG trainee started in 2011. She trained in rapping and songwriting, helps her to develops her musically. Since the first announcement among YG trainees that the companies are debuting a girlgoup, Soojin became more competitive than ever. She works hard and secured a position in top 10 of the candidates but eventually dropped and the chosen original line up are the trainees that shown in Future 2NE1 video. She was shown sitting on the side in the video (next to Eunbi). As the time goes by, Soojin developed her skills and even trained personally by Teddy to wrote songs.

She even recognized by Dok2 and The Quiett after they heard her rap during a session when they came over to YG to work with Bobby for her final song on SMTM3. The Quiett personally gave her his umber and said "Incase you're interested with Illionaire" while laughing.

When Moon Sooah, a fellow YG trainee was chosen to got to Unpretty Rapstar among several other trainees including Soojin. Soojin started feeling uneasy and finally decided to left YG on November 2014 because she thought that they won't debut any girlgroup soon and she was almost 20. She spent 3 years as a trainee in YG. She decided to focus more on her study but then she was contacted by The Quiett who said he heard about her leaving YG. He said that there's a friend of him who wants to meet her and work on something. Soojin went to meet him and introduced to Crucial Star, a rapper that she personally look up too. Crucial Star said that he had heard her rap 'Getting 'em' that somehow The Quiett recorded when they heard the song at YG. Then Crucial Star asked her if she wanted to work together on a song which Soojin quickly agreed to. They made a song called 'Wipe Out' and released as a mixtape under the name Queen feat.Crucial Star. She had another song called 'Mad Thing' and even went to some events together with several underground rapper. She started to made a name for herself as a female rapper.
In early 2016, she heard a company called 'Muse Entertainment' who is looking for trainee and she decided to give it a try after reading that the company is supporting woman-power with all the staff being female, she thought that she'll have a bigger chance in Muse.
