personality

"Oh goodness."
          While already being at the post-20 age of 26, the female gives off an elegant mature vibe, being one of the main adults in the group. She's a natural parent, always thinking of others when doing things, and is extremely considerate. Soobin gives herself the responsibility of others, naturally looking out for them. But other than this, she also knows how to let herself have fun, having a hidden childlike personality, and a tough sense of sarcastic humor she really lives up to the name as a female version of GOT7's leader JB, quick temperment and all, along with the responsible she retains.

"Knock it off, will you?"
While there are many good things about the female, there are also a good chunk of things that make her extremely imperfect. One of these things, is her short temperment, and impatience. She gets easily irritated at things that don't have to straightforwardly do with her, and is very sensite to small things people say. Her impatience is horrible, and the fact that she tends to take responsibility in the care of others doesn't help. When telling someone to do something she expects for them to get up immediately and do what she asked. If it's not that, she stands and waits for the other get up. Another flaw she has is being extremely stubborn, a trait she inherits from her dad. If found getting into an arguement about something with someone, even if they apologize, she tends to hold grudges for a day or two, not wanting anything to do with that person until her angriness wears off.

character's background

"Why did she leave us?"
                                "I have no idea."
             Soobin grew up with her father from age 3, her mother leaving them soon after her 3rd birthday. She was fine with this, after all, being a child at the time. While growing up she quickly matured and started to become curious of the matter, learning to soon distant herself greatly from her mother. Later in the future her father ended up meeting a Chinese woman,  and remarried, giving her three younger brothers by the time she turned 10. 

"We're moving!" 
            Her step-mother was extremely nice, and after a few years of living as a family she was hit with the news that they were planning to move to Canada, due to having to help out her step-family, Toronto being where her step-mother's family was located. They then proceeded to move before the school year started for  8th grade, and then continued to live in Toronto.

"Hi, I'm Byun Soobin."
                               "Is Byun your first name?"
            The family of 6 moved into her step-mother's family's house, crowding the large house with a total of 12 people. Soobin had a slightly difficult time adjusting to the new life, being unused to the country. She was enrolled into high school, where she met many new people of different races, and also had to adjust to a non-Korean speaking enviorment, something that was quite difficult for her on her first few days. Luckily, god was on her side, and she ended up meeting people who helped her on her journey.

"Dad, I'll be going to Korea. Alone."
            After her best friend had left to pursue his dreams a year after high school graaduation, she too, wanted to do  the same. So she did. Leaving her family at age 20, Soobin went back to Korea, mainly to be reunited with him again, but this time as a fellow artist.

face-claim

love interest

youngk/brian/kang younghyun (day6)

back up - jae (day6)

personality

Brian comes off very serious, and almost cold towards people he doesn't know, but that's just how he looks. Truthfully, once you get to know the guy he's really laid back, and has a mature yet wonderfully humorous side. Unlike Soobin, the male is incredibly extroverted, his idol side bringing out the childishness in him (Jae being his best friend doesn't help). While on stage he often gets into his own world, making him an admirable idol and loved by a good amount of fans.

interaction with love interest

Brian moved to Toronto at a young age with his family, and ended up meeting Soobin when they had first begun high school. He became attached to the girl, after all, being the only Korea-born to move to Canada that was his age, it was refreshing for him. The first few weeks he made her slowly get comfortable to him, and sooner or later he developed a nickname "Miss Byun", which shortened to what he now says which is just her surname "Byun" to which she retorts with a playful "Kang".

They became closer and closer throughout high school, exchanging numbers and hanging out every other day after school. It was until Brian threw himself in a mini  band, and soon after graduation was scouted by JYPE, sadly leaving the girl on her own.
With some convincing messages and long night calls the two was put into a funky realtionship, where it wasn't quite friends but it wasn't to the point where they wanted to tell themseves that maybe it was something much more than "friends".
After a year or two of missing one another, the girl forcing herself on bitter black coffee and the male pushing himself to anything beyond sweet in reminisce Soobin settled on also following the male's steps and becoming a potential idol.

training background

Soobin had originally started off as a trainee for a few months under JYPE as a dancer/potential actress, attending open auditions, an obvious choice for her being it that her bestest "friend" was under the company. After a few months of going no where, watching as she wasn't making much progress to reaching her designated goal, she decided to leave the company, also indecisive about what she really wanted. The female was then offered to be a trainee under SM months later as a singer when heard hanging with a few friends doing karaoke, which then switched to being apart of the trainee crew under SJ. At first, Soobin was going to deny the offer, it being that she chose JYPE for a specific reason in the beginning which had failed to happen, originally causing her to halt being an idol. But with a little persuading from some of the board staff members and a little thinking on the pros and cons of the situation, she ultimately gave in, agreeing to be a trainee under SJ.
