THE VELVET / HIROSE MAYUMI VIOLET
- cries easily, sensitive, cannot take criticism easily, whines a lot
Personality
she is very lively and is considered one of her batch's happy virus when she was a trainee. mayumi is easily impressed and finds small things amusing or funny. that's why some people who doesn't like her say she's overacting everytime but that's how she really is. she also cries easily but she learned how to conceal it especially during her years as a trainee in sm entertainment, a company that has the strictest trainers of all. her most negative trait would be the part where she exaggerate things. it becomes really annoying than funny sometimes but other than that, mayumi is fine the way she is.
background mayumi was born in daegu, south korea where her mom grew up but she was raised in japan. her family decided to move there a few months after mayumi was born. she grew up as a happy kid. she adapted her mother's good looks, she looked mostly korean which is why a lot of people admire her in their home town. she was told that she'd make a great kpop artist and during that time she still had no idea what a kpop artist is. she searched them up and she got hooked up with snsd's music. she dreamt of seeing them up close one day.
there was a time where she convinced her mother to come back to korea but she disagreed because of their financial problem at that time. mayumi didn't give up though. she was 15 at that time and she was striving to harness her talents. luckily, jyp entertainment was holding an audition in tokyo. she made the effort totravel from kyoto to tokyo and she got in easily because of her singing and good visuals.
