PERSONALITY :　
"She acts with a charm you can't help but notice." People can't help but notice Chaerin, not just because of her colorful, vibrant hair, but because of other various things about her. Like how comfortable it is to talk to her, how her smile can light up a room, and how her soft laugh can lift your spirits. No one can deny that Chaerin is the kind of person that people can't talk their eyes off of. "Loyalty means that I'm down with you whether you're right or wrong, but I will tell you when you're wrong and help you get it right." Chaerin is one of the most loyal people you'll ever come across. She knows the pain of betrayal and refuses the be the cause of it for someone else. When Chaerin says that she'll be by your side through thick and thin, she undoubtedly will. However, her loyalty is not simply recieved. Chaerin believes that loyalty is returned and is only loyal to those who've shown her this fact. However, if you do manage to earn her loyalty, Chaerin would never think of betraying you. Even if all the odds are against you, Chaerin will be that one person who will be by your side. "Half of being smart is knowing what you are dumb about." Chaerin is intelligent, plain and simple. She knows her strengths and plays at them, but she also knows her weaknesses and does her best to fix them. She's a typical honors student and is always striving to get straight A's. "It's not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do." Responsiblity was always one of Chaerin's best traits. In this retrospect, she more of an adult compared to most of her classmates. She always owns up to her mistakes and never lies about her actions. A lot of her friends find her very reliable because of this. She is also nominated as the leader of the group most of time because of this. "They wondered why they were so miserable while she was so happy, but she never stopped playing even when they did." Chaerin doesn't see the point of being so serious all the time. She thinks that the ones who are the most serious and the most miserable. How can one's life be colorful when you fill it with monotone things? She is always up and about, running around with a smile on her face. If she sees one of her friends with a sad face, she'd be the first one making funny faces just to see her friends smile or laugh. "She's always there for you, and there is no thought more comforting." Chaerin is that one friend you can go to when you need to let something out. Be it you need to cry, or you have something that you just need to let out, Chaerin would be the first person you go to. Something about how Chaerin gives you her full undivided attention when you talk to her is really comforting, and how she doesn't make any comments when she knows you just need to let everything out as soon as possible. She sees it from your point of view, gets sad with you, angry along with you, and laughs with you. She makes it feel as though you have a comrade when you feel like no one else will be there for you.

"Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I don't respect your thoughts." Chaerin doesn't often get mad. She understands that many people see things through different sets of lens and respects that. She believes that just because someone is wrong, doesn't automatically imply that you are right. She does get annoyed, but she never really gets mad. "She let the world know everything about herself, but that tranparency won hearts that feared the unknown." Chaerin is a very open person. She tells her friends everything about herself and hides nothing. She doesn't fear the unknown but welcomes it. You're gay? Cool. Don't like pizza? Everyone has different tastebuds. You skip school? Chaerin wants to, too. She doesn't discriminate. "Trusting you is my decision. Proving to me right is your choice." Much to her dismay, Chaerin knows that she trusts easily. She thinks that everyone who laughs with her is a friend, and for her, that means that they get some of her trust. Sometimes it pays off, but most of the time, they show her how wrong she was to trust them.

"Having a dirty mind makes ordinary conversations much more interesting." Despite seeming like a clean, fun-loving girl, you can bet a million dollars that Chaerin's mind is not the cleanest. I mean, have you heard the kind of language and jokes middle-schoolers make nowadays? She used to have clean thoughts, but you can thank her friends for contaminating her mind with ual innuendos and dirty jokes. She can make a innocent sentence sound so wrong and dirty. This is one of the reasons she gets along so well with the guys in her classes. "To obey is better than to sacrifice, and I'd rather save my energy." Chaerin is so used to obeying others after her dating her ex. Her ex changed her old rowdy self into a very obedient servant who doesn't talk back. She never questions requests or orders given to her, nor does she rebel against them. She completes everything given to her without complaint. "To take a side means to make enemies when I'm just trying to live peacefully." Chaerin never really chooses sides in an arguement. She remains in a neutral position so that she can see the truth through unbiased eyes. Also, by never playing favorites, Chaerin has earned trust from countless peers and friends. Even if they don't agree with her decisions, they at least know that she is not working against them. "My sarcasm offends you? Oh I'm sorry, it's just that sarcasm is by body's natural defense against stupid." Playful? Check. Dirty-minded? Check. What else could you want in a girl? OH WAIT! Of course, it's got to be sarcasm. Chaerin may comfort you when you're feeling down, but she'll cheer you up with her sarcasm. Because who doesn't love sarcastic jokes? "She used to be confident in the light, but he left her broken in the dark and she couldn't find who she used to be." Chaerin used to be confident in everything she did, but her ex mentally abused her so she lost all the confidence she had. She is always hesitating, and she finds herself always asking for a second opinion. (Others see this as her just making sure that no one's opinions are being left out.) She is afraid of being wrong and everyone blaming her for it. "She holds everyone close but only at arm's length." Chaerin is still recovering her ex, so she has grown to keep people people close but never close enough to hold her heart. Her heart is made of glass after the breakup, and she fears that anyone who touches it will break it into even tinier pieces.

BACKGROUND :　
     Chaerin grew up with a normal childhood. Throughout elementary and the first year of high school, Chaerin was the popular kid who everyone in the school wanted to hang out with. She was smart, yet playful. Caring, yet sarcastic. Childish, yet responsible. She was a ball of joy and fun who everyone could relate to, but she was also the confident leader their group who had a way with words around adults. During all of this, her best friends were the [Nctzen Plotline] and Park Minhyuk. The three had met in Kindergarten, and they haven't been apart since. The two could always be found by Chaerin's sides and were her go-to people whenever she needed help or a breath of fresh air. 

     Chaerin always had feelings for Minhyuk and finally confessed to him in the beginning of their freshman year in fear of another girl coming along and snatching Minhyuk from her. Minhyuk accepted her confession, and the two began dating. They started off fine the first few weeks. Those first few weeks were the happiest times of Chaerin's life, and [Nctzen Plotline] was so happy for the two as Chaerin had confessed everything to her. However, things quickly began going downhill as Minhyuk began complaining about Chaerin. He called her clingy and annoying. He complained that she was suffocating him with her presence, and that he needed more guy time. Though his words wounded Chaerin, she complied with his requests. He was acting completely different from how he used to be in middle school and elementary school, but Chaerin remained optimistic and tried to understand that he just needed his space. However, Minhyuk's requests began getting more and more ridiculous. "Stop touching me." "Don't talk to me in school." "Do my homework for me." "Don't talk to any of my friends." "We don't know each other at school." Chaerin did her best to comply with his requests, but the longer she stayed together with Minhyuk, the more she looked like a complete wreck. [Nctzen Plotline] stayed quiet at first and tried to be optiistic, but as she saw Chaerin's health dwindling away, she tried convincing Chaerin to breakup with Minhyuk. Chaerin waved away the idea, unable to comprehend how much Minhyuk had changed since they've known him. His requests turned into complaints and insults towards Chaerin. "You can't even do much?" "You're such a disappointment." "It'd be humiliating if I were to be seen with you." "You're feelings only amount to this much? Pathetic." "Try to lose all that weight you fatass." "Wow, you used to be smart, but now you're just a dumb ."  Insults are normally something that can be brushed off, but it's hard to brush them off when they come from a childhood friend who's been with you for as long as you can remember. Soon enough, the Chaerin who seemed the radiant happiness disappeared. In her place was a girl who looked like a complete mess. It was like you could tap her and she would fall over. Chaerin's grades dropped, and she began losing her appetite. Eventually, [Nctzen Plotline] was able to convince her that the Minhyuk they knew was gone and that he was now some jerk who took advantage of Chaerin's feelings. Chaerin broke into tears after she finally accepted the truth. [Nctzen Plotline] and a few of her other close friends went with her when she broke up with him in fear that he would attack her at the end of their sophomore year. 

     After Chaerin broke up with MInhyuk, she brought her grades back up and surrounded herself with her friends. She began to brighten up and her cheerfulness slowly began to return. However, Chaerin still felt quite empty, so she began listening to some music to help herself relax. She clicked on a random playlist and just listened to the lyrics. It was then that Woozi's song, Simple, came on. She felt like she could relate so much to the  song and broke down in tears in realization that the happiness she had with Minhyuk was so fleeting and short. Their relationship went so complex and it ruined her. Woozi's song was like a breath of fresh air in the suffocating air she created around herelf after the breakup. After listening to the his song, Chaerin felt okay again. She began returning to her old self, but her cheerfulness was no longer as bright. Instead, Chaerin was more quiet and resevered and the air around her had become quite gentle. She became easier to talk to about anything, but she never let anyone get to close to her. 

    [Nctzen Plotline] asked what had caused her change, and Chaerin told her about Woozi's song. Chaerin had officially become a Carat and her ultimate bias was, obviously, Woozi. She fell in love with everything about him. For Chaerin, he became her savior, her knight in shining armor, and her source of happiness. [Nctzen Plotline] was already a big fan of Kpop, so the two began to share their fangirl moments with each other. When Chaerin had seen the post on instagram about a WGM: Fan Edition, she immediately tweeted out to [Nctzen Plotline] to convince her to join with her. It started out as a joke that went a little something like . . .

"Hey [Nctzen Plotline] , what are the odds that I actually get to be Woozi's wife?"

"Lower than the chance of Seventeen beating EXO in rankings."

"HEY! The odds of that happening are not that low!"

*laughs*  "Just try it then. The the chances of Seventeen beating EXO are 0% my dear Chae Bae."

"Fine. But if I actually get picked, you'll have to pay for their next concert tickets!"

"Deal, cause there is no way that's happening."

WGM Interveiw

Have you ever watched WGM before? If you have, which couple do you think you and your husband would or could be like? : 

▸ "Of course! I mean, who hasn't, right?" she says with a huge grin, "But good question. I feel like if we were to be similar to any couple, it would probably be the 33 couple. You know, the Jota-sshi and Jingyeong-sshi couple. Jingyeong-sshi was always teasing Jota-sshi, and I always thought that that's what I would act like if I were in a relationship."

Why should we pick you for WGM: Fan edition? : 

▸ She smirks and flips her hair with sass, "My fellow Koreans are always so quiet, shy, and go for that all-natural look. Where else are you going to find a Korean girl who'd be as bold with their looks as me?"
