appearance haena is among the tallest members in the group, and she can come across as a bit of an intimidating figure at first. she has freckles decorating her cheeks and nose and a small birthmark on the left side of . her hair is long and thick with a tendency to curl up from the shoulders and down. she doesn't have an exact style in mind for it and tends to keep it loose, in braids or in a bun. her body is pretty much of a collection of long limbs, especially her legs, but is surprisingly comfortable to fall asleep on despite her slim build. she doesn't have much in terms of curves, but she is lean and strong from years of dancing.
fashion haena's fashion is best described as a layered one, quite literally. She favors the easy and effortless look while still looking put-together. her style tends to come across as a bit of a dressy tomboy style with a mix of ripped jeans and a-line skirts, hoodies and button-ups. she is also quite fond of hats - bowler hats, beanies, floppy hats, matinê, baseball. If she can wear it, she will rock it. [EXAMPLES]

personality
At her core, Haena is a benevolent person. She is kind and well-meaning to those she meets, even if it's not as obvious due to her somewhat shy nature. Being independent is important to her, and those who try to label or put her in a box will have her displeasure be known, if by gently correcting them or by showing them otherwise. haena's work ethic is to be admired. she is a hardworking individual, good with deadlines and works fairly well under pressure. haena has always been a curious soul who is always looking for answers and ways to improve herself and others. stepping out of her comfort zone isn't a new thing in her books, and she is willing to do it to experience something new. SHe has a flexibility to her that allows her to see things from multiple perspectives and understand others' point of view, allowing to take in more information and reach the most peaceful and/or satisfying outcome possible. She is even-tempered, almost aloof to some, and is able to handle her emotions well as long as she feels in control. Haena is a typical artist at heart; creative and always happy to create something new and to share it with those around her. she finds great satisfaction in encouragement to be artistic and can think up things on the spot that others might find difficult, giving her a slight gift for improvisation and thinking on the spot.
Haena is very quiet by default. She will say what is necessary and lets her actions speak for her otherwise. words are simply not her forte. she often finds herself tripping over her own words, so she tends to talk slowly and with care - like a diplomat, some might say. when she becomes excited, her talking speed increases by x150, which can make it hard for some to follow. Not many get to see this side of her as she is normally perceived as someone calm. She isn't someone who is particularly restless on a normal basis and might even strike someone as plain or boring. Once she gets to know others and be comfortable, she is actually a high-spirited person, characterised by an energetic enthusiasm. It's a side of her that she tends to keep hidden, so seeing it is quite the surprise, even for those who know her well.
Haena does not have a strong personality. She's rather unassertive; not one to behave in a loud or confident manner. Conflicts are never on her agenda. She's sensitive about it and would rather avoid it if she can. It can lead to her having trouble speaking her mind and being overruled by others, just for the sake of keeping the peace. Haena is a perfectionist who keeps her work to a high standard. it leads to late night dance practices and less sleep, but it's worth knowing the extra work she put into the choreography or song. because of her high standard, it can be hard for her to work in a group with others whose standards differ from hers, and she can become a bit controlling in the process, trying to make everything work the way she wants it to. With this level of detail-orientation, it can be a surprise to know that haena is rather disorganized elsewhere. If something doesn't interest her in the moment, she is quick to forget about it until someone reminds her of it. in times of stress, she becomes increasingly more out of order and emotional. She is not much of a logic thinker and acts more based on how she feels. If she lets her carefully placed filter go, she can be pretty tactless at times and say hurtful things in the heat of the moment. (she does apologize afterwards, though.)
background
song haena was born on january 15, 1991, on geoje island, south korea. she is the youngest in a family of four, but wasn't exactly planned. still, she was a welcome addition to the small family. they moved to incheon shortly after she was born, where her father started his own dental clinic. haena herself was quick to join various activities, starting with church choir at age five. she later became interested in gymnastics and dancing. Joonhee, her brother, was a member of the local dance school and would often bring his sister there after school while their parents worked. she became inspired by him and joined as well, learning hip-hop, jazz dance and Latin dance.
In 2001, she joined Hwanseong dance school, a fairly well-known dance school in incheon, where she continued with jazz dance as well as learning modern dance and later waacking. It was here that she met bae yeonju. they had a friendly rivalry going on and became good friends over time. as they got older, however, yeonju became more concerned about her image and ended up ditching haena more often than not. Haena auditioned for moonlight entertainment in 2007, shortly after the debut of their first major group. she was accepted as a new trainee. bae yeonju started a year after, which is where their rivalry really began. She hit a bit of a road block when her father, one of her biggest supporters, passed away from prostate cancer in 2009.

QUOTES
— "i'm not dealing with reality before my coffee."
— (THoughts) "Why does everyone here have four left feet?"
— mother : Kim Youngsook : 50 : psychiatrist : Unlike her late husband, haena's mother wasn't as certain about her daughter's future plans. she wasn't sure how practical it was, but her daughter did well in school and thrived as a dancer, so she couldn't help but wish her the best. the two grew closer after the death of her husband. haena didn't tell her much about her life as a trainee as she knew her mother would be furious if she found out about all the choreographies she made and was never credited for.
— Older brother : song joonhee : 25 : choreographer : Joonhee is one of the closest to haena's heart aside from their father. despite being five years apart, they treat each other as equals, teasing each other and being informal in private. joonhee is a dancer like haena and was her inspiration as a child. he is a big supporter of her, even if the idea of his quiet sister in a girl group seems kind of unreal. they talk to each other a lot and are generally very honest. haena tells him things she wouldn't dare say to their mother like her overly stubborn nature and how she struggles in the company. he has been her rock for the last few years, pretty much.
— friend : Cho sangyu : 19 : university student : sangyu is a man of many talents and is a certified genius. He skipped a grade in elementary school and ended up as haena's classmate in middle and high school. he is also very gay, but hides it from his religious and conservative family. Many believe the two of them were together in high school when they were simply good friends. Sangyu would help haena out with subjects that she had a hard time with due to level of difficulty or having missed it due to dance practice, and she would do the same in return. Their friendship isn't very loud, but they're straightforward with one another and have a relationship built on respect and mutual trust. as he is currently studying at seoul national university, she often takes the time to visit him on campus or have a fun day (read: afternoon) out with him and/or woorim.
— Leader : amari misaki : 21 : idol/lyricist : misaki is the group's leader, main vocal and songwriter. that's a lot of roles, indeed. and haena respects her fr that. neither of them are particularly loud or sociable people, who prefer the company of a few over a crowd any day. the fact that they are almost the same age has allowed them to grow closer over the year they've been working together, and hana had seen misaki around the company on occasions before she was approached for the group. they aren't the closest in terms of bonds, but their relationship is comfortable and nice to have when you need a bit of sanity in your everyday life.

news stories
— t : Astral's Haena revealed to be behind Lunar's new choreography : Speculations began to rise when someone pointed out similarities between Lunar's new choreography and one of Astral's dances. No choreographer was officially mentioned for Lunar, while Haena was credited for Astral's. Later, people began pointing out similar points of style in other works by Moonlight's groups. The company later confirmed Haena's involvement in the creation of Lunar's choreography, but would not comment on the other cases, leading many k-netz to grow suspicious.
— F : Astral's Haena caught on date with non-celebrity : Again, false. The person Haena was seen with was her good friend Sangyu, whom she visited at his university and then went to dinner with alongside woorim. The company was quick to deny any romantic connection, referring to them as good friends only.
— t : Astral's Haena collapses during rehearsal : During one of Astral's rehearsals, Haena kept being unfocused and lacking her usual rhythm, which was unusual to those involved. Later in the performance, she passed out in the middle of a transition, causing the others to almost stumble over her. They paused it long enough to get her off the stage and take her to the hospital. it Turned out she was suffering from sleep deprivation and a slight fever.
— t : astral's haena reveals her hat collection : Haena revealed that she had quite the number of hats on a variety show and expressed sadness over having to get rid of more than half prior to moving to Seoul. Fans of the group found it rather amusing, honestly. She was on plenty of lists of idols with interesting hobbies/collections after that episode aired.
— F : Astral's Haena revealed to be dating lunar's Byunghyun! : This was a case of breaking news proven false. Byunghyun is in fact a kind-of friend of Haena's, and one of her actual boyfriend's best friends. Because Haena and Byunghyun were seen more often together than she and Jay, some drew the wrongful conclusion that they were an item. Both of them were quick to deny it on their social medias. Byunghyun's fangirls were not too nice to Haena during this period, which made her stay away from social media for a while.

love story
Their story begins in 2009 when Minjae is late for dance practice. again. This time is slightly different, however, because they're being given the choreography for their first comeback. Instead of a choreographer, they are greeted with a video featuring a single dancer and their new dance. The dancer was wearing baggy clothes and a hat, so Minjae didn't even know the gender of the dancer, but he thought they looked cool. They had an intensity and grace to the way they danced, yet made it look easy at the same time. Imagine his surprise when they come in the next day to see this very tall, very young choreographer who looked strangely similar to one of the trainees he had seen around. When she is introduced by their manager as the choreographer, several of them are just staring. Say what now...? was the general reaction, but Minjae didn't want to be one to judge. He trusted in the manager's words. And so the work began. He soon realized that she was strict, similarly to their trainers, although she use any of their demeaning words. She even tried to use a bit of English when he had a hard time understanding her feedback. He became fairly fascinated with her, already back then. To Haena, he was another one of her students, but he had an awkward charm about him that made her smile when she thought about it later. When her father passed away that winter, Haena was completely devastated. She isolated herself in the practice room the same evening, trying out every choreography she could think of. Minjae found her by coincidence when he opened the door, looking for his lost phone. He stayed silent as he did not want to disturb, but he was captivated by the raw emotion going into her every move. When she broke down in tears and curled in on herself in front of the mirror, he couldn't help himself. He let his presence be known, which caused hAena to become rather embarrassed at being seen in such a state. He tried asking her what's the problem was, but she wasn't in the mood to answer. He did find his phone and quickly left the room without another word.
They met again when Lunar was preparing for their comeback for Shock. Once again, she was their choreographies, but there was something different about her now. She was even quieter than usual, and didn't say much outside of what was necessary. Honestly, he was a little worried about her, and he actually told her as much:
"You look sad."
Haena looked at him as if he had grown a second head. She raised a single brow at his comment and continued packing her things for the day. "Is that so?"
She was not in the mood for games.
Minjae bit the inside of his cheek when he realized the stupidity of his comment. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean it like that. It's just- You seemed like you weren't in the zone today."
"I'm not certain I've been in the 'zone' for the past year or so."
He responded before he could stop himself. "Did someone die on your watch or something?"
The look she threw him made his insides curl in on themselves. It was a look of pure heartbreak. 'Oh, ,' he realized. "I- I didn't-"
Haena said nothing more. She grabbed her bag and left the room. This time, he was the one left behind in the practice room.
The day after the incident, he sought her out and apologized profusely for his words. She forgave him for it, understanding the problem with words and how to use them. She told him about her father's passing and their close relationship. This Minjae could understand, being reminded of his family back in the States. He tells her as much, apparently not knowing how to shut up around this girl. She feels with him, missing the rest of her family as well; her mother, brother... They weren't far away, but it felt like it these days. They ended up talking for a while until the other boys arrived for practice, and she had to leave to attend to personal errands. Byunghyun decided it was a great time to for spacing out like that: "Got a crush on the trainer, Jae?"
It turned out that he did.
The next time the two of them really talk is after Haena's found out about being part of the new girl group. She is dumbfounded, beyond excited, stunned... Minjae finds out from one of the other trainees, and he is quick to track her down and convincing her to have celebratory lunch with him. Before he can realize that he basically asked her out, kind of, in a way, she accepts, but ends up calling her friends who join them. Not quite the same, but he's happy enough about it. Her friends are fun enough, especially Woorim. He is a little surprised to see her being friends with an actress, but he can see their bond too. His feelings continue to grow as he sees this more excited side of her come out. He is lost.. From here, things get busy. Haena becomes involved with her group, attempting to whip the girls into decent dancers, receiving vocal lessons, working on choreography for the group and so much more. Meanwhile, Minjae becomes busy with the group's promotions and rising popularity. They drift apart slightly, and things stay the same for a while.
Changes occur a time after Astral's debut. Minjae comes back from a late schedule to find Haena asleep on the practice room floor. Hardly sanitary, he thinks. He considers waking her up, but then he notices her peaceful face and remembers the stress of a rookie. He ends up sitting there, her hair and cheek for a moment before gettng up to tell one of the members or manager where to find her. Haena, it turns out, was actually awake and is now lying there with a thundering heart beat and no idea whether to sit up or not. One of the members ends up finding her, wondering why in the world she's asleep here. She makes some comment about practice, but can't stop thinking about Minjae and what he did. Cue, reciprocated pining. They manage to act fairly normal around one another, but both of them are feeling it now, not knowing about the other.
Haena now has a crush on someone for the first time in her life. Everything is already stressful, and now this as well? What a life, indeed. She throws herself even more into her work and ends up collapsing during rehearsal. She gets a message from him during her short stay, and it leaves her all giddy, which makes Minho question her behavior slightly. When Haena gets caught up in the bully rumor, Minjae almost takes to Twitter to defend her. He doesn't actually post anything, although he does post a tweet sometime down the line about 'the power of rumors and anonymity on the internet'. When her first dating rumor breaks out, he is well-aware of media's love for anything that could cause a scandal. (Her 'breaking news' later on just makes him laugh.)
Their relationship takes a step further when Minjae decides to sneak out to an amusement park as he hasn't been to one in years. He encounters Haena on the way, who decides to join because why not. It takes a bit of maneuvering with disguises because Lunar is a fairly well-known group by now and Astral is gaining recognition. They end up riding roller coasters and consider the ferris wheel. Haena is hesitant because of her fear of heights, but decides to push it aside for a chance to be alone with Minjae. About half-way up, Haena ends up hyperventilating a little. Minjae grows worried and grabs her hands. The simple gesture manages to calm her down some. After the ride, Minjae is ready to call it a day when disaster strikes. It starts raining, and neither of them have umbrellas. They run as quick as they can to the newest point of shelter, which ends up being right outside a convenience store. Haena has to laugh about the whole situation, adding that she did have a great time despite the ... eventful ending. Then Minjae's lack of filter strikes again, in English this time:
"Wet hair suits you."
Haena stops talking and looks at him. He looks back. They're outside a convenience store, in the rain, in nothing but plain clothes and their leftover disguises. He reaches a hand to her and offers to take her back to Misaki and Minho's apartment. She agrees, heart beating in her chest. They run in the rain, later walking as it stops. When they reach the apartment complex, she takes a moment to thank him for a good time. Their faces are suddenly quite close. Before anything can happen, Misaki appears at the door. She looks Minjae up and down suspiciously before ushering the younger girl inside, wishing him a good night. He turns around to walk home when he hears the door open again. Haena comes back outside to return the jacket he had borrowed her; a navy blue hooded one. She commends him on his fashion, to which he jokes that Byunghyun helped him pick it out.
"He does it well."
Without another word, she leans up to kiss him. It's quick, and she realizes and tries to apologize, only for him to return the favor. It ends as quickly as it comes, and Haena runs back (without the jacket) before Misaki notices her disappearance (which she has already, but doesn't comment on it then and there). Both of them are rather confused about what happened, and they don't get to see each other for over a week. When they do get a moment to chat on the phone, Minjae confesses his feelings. Even his fingers have no filter with words, it seems. Haena stares at her screen for a solid second or two before sending back a quick reciprocation. When they get to meet face to face, they confess properly with all the blushing and stuttering and cuteness. Minjae is quick to tell Byunghyun, but both wait to tell the other members.
It would be difficult to pinpoint whether these two were a couple or not. They are extremely casual and low-key about their relationship, neither being too big on PDA or announcing any relationship. They had a bit of a communication issue at first as neither of them were used to relationships, let alone romantic ones. A contrast in culture lead to misunderstandings between them, but they worked through them. They normally bond through doing something new and interesting like trying out new dishes together or figuring out the others' hobbies. They tend to keep to their dorms and rarely venture outside together without friends, which is why no one really catch on for a time. She treats him with the respect a sunbae expects at first, but his American upbringing makes him find that uncomfortable and tries to get her to address him informally in private, despite being two years older than her. He sees nothing wrong with that, but it's very weird on her part due to her Korean upbringing, but she is open to try it out his way. They eventually find a balance.
