ELABORATION —
• Jooyeon is not the most bubbly girl of the bunch, Most of the members find it quite hard to be with Jooyeon because she barely utters a single word when she is with them. Its not that she wants to stay so quiet, she just finds it so hard to find the right words to say or even create a simple sentence, in fear of saying something wrong. This goes in hand with the fact that she's so incredibly blunt. Often times when she says something, theres a chance someone may get hurt by what she says but she never intends to hurts someone. When it does she immediately regrets it and scolds herself for saying that. This is mostly seen when people ask for her opinion. In light of her silence, she also finds it hard to express her emotions, mostly through words. She tries her best to show her emotions to others through her actions like subtly offering her lunch to another member because they forgot theirs or always offering to shower last so no one gets upset. However, it hurts her the most when the people around her are suffering and she is not able to say or do anything to make it better. For a quiet girl, she is quite stubborn. She is determined to get her way and stands her ground on whatever she believes in. It takes the members ages to try to convince her to do something she doesn't want to do.
Despite these flaws, Jooyeon also has her strengths. She is incredibly intelligent and is seen as a genius by the people around her. Though she doesn't like to flaunt it around, people seem to find out she goes to a gifted school and is ranked number one. Being ranked number one and becoming an idol at the same time does have its tribulations and this shows how hard - working Jooyeon is. Jooyeon had many failures and hardships to become and idol but she never gave up and always tried her best while training and as being an idol. She also studies extremely hard and makes sure she puts most of her effort in her academics, mumbling to herself every single morning "ill give 200% of myself today".Through her hard - work over the years, she has become very mature for her age. She is often mistaken as an unnie of the group when in fact, she is part of the maknae line. Sometimes you'll catch her encouraging the members to keep practicing or even getting some of the unnies to behave. The caring side of Jooyeon is often shown through her trying to be mature, she wants the be like a pillar for the group. She wants the members to be able to depend on her even if she is young

TRAINEE LIFE —
• In all of her sixteen years of living, never had Jooyeon experienced this much hardship. Since she was not as good as the other members, she found herself constantly seeking for help and trying to better her singing. Other trainees looked down on her for not being so musically talented and this caused her to put all her time in effort in becoming a better singer. This reached a point where she couldn't sing a single note because she practiced to much and her grades lowered, causing her to be very upset with hersef. That time was one of the darkest periods of her trainee career but as time flew by Jooyeon became to overcome it. After months of practicing, the teachers were amazed with Jooyeon's improvement. Throughout the second year of her training, she was able to keep up with her members and actually get compliments from the trainers. Then one day, after monthly evaluations, she was told she would be debuting in the new girl group APEIRON with the other members.
