Baram is the kind of girl that isn’t afraid to say what she’s thinking and let her intrusive thoughts win. Her comments would be things that people are thinking but wouldn’t dare to say, especially in a society like Korea. 

Baram is very outgoing and energetic. She does what she wants with respect to the rules but if she doesn’t like something she’ll speak up and refuses to get walked all over. In life she knows what she wants and knows what she likes. She won’t do something she wouldn’t like and is decisive in her decisions. Her sense of humor includes poking fun at others and she’s a very quick thinker, her comebacks come in lightening speed. Even if they’re offensive she makes sure you know she’s joking and makes sure not to cross boundaries but she still does sometimes. She’s actually really positive and respectful to other people, she stands up for the underdog in many situations. Not the type to just go with the crowd or group thinking. She doesn’t mind standing out either, growing up on camera helped her be a natural entertainer and a good talker. Since she grew up with brothers she tends to be more aggressive with her members and people in general.

Even when she got a lot of hate it never stopped her from acting like her true self. She’s young, there are many things she wants to do and try. But she’s also still a teenager and has her childish moments and mood swing moments. One thing she doesn’t do is hide how she feels, she doesn’t see the point in that. Her parents were always open with her so that’s how she is too. If she’s mad she’ll tell you or you’ll see it on her face, same thing with sad. She doesn’t care about holding in her emotions for the sake of others because it shouldn’t be a taboo to go through emotions. Same if she sees someone make someone else upset or the vibes are off she’ll say something about it. She’s really an open book, there’s nothing to hide with her.
Baram was born to up and coming parents, her mom was an actress and her dad was judoka. They had her at the young age of 20 and it’s drew a lot of attention to their careers. The public expected it to be a career ruined but instead both of her parents ended up doing very well, Baram being born two more attention to them if anything.

Her dad was looking forward to having a son that he could teach judo to but instead he was born so that didn’t stop him from teaching her the sport. Her Dad actually didn’t want her to be a judo fighter, he just wanted her to be able to defend herself and know how to stand her ground but instead Baram ended up really loving judo. She wasn’t the girly girl that her mom was looking for but she still put her in dancing classes and acting classes so she could get into the performing arts.

Baram was the only child for a while so she was like her family’s princess. Her family‘s life wasn’t so luxurious until her mom started getting the big acting roles and her dad started winning championships. Both her parents actually came from humble beginnings and made their own success. Many people get the misconception that she was born into a wealthy family but the wealth didn’t start coming in until she was 3. That year her dad won gold at the Summer Universiade, Asian Championships and World Championships while her mom got her first major acting role as Soseono in Jumong winning 2 awards for her performance. From then on her parents careers only went up.

Baram grew up around the cameras, her parents weren’t shy about holding her in interviews and letting her say a few words or letting wave to the paparazzi at the airport. They soon became a well known family for how wholesome they were, who wouldn’t love a family that wore matching outfits to the airport and award shows. Baram became a star on her own too, she started acting at a very young age and did commercials and modeling sometimes with her parents too.

Her parents were often busy year round but even when they hired help they rarely left Baram on her own. She was on set with her mom more often then at the gym with her father though. But either way her parents made sure to spend time with her when they could and travel whenever they could so she never felt like they were too busy for her. The thing she hated most was staying with her grandma who was way stricter than her parents. But Baram was booked and busy too even at such a young age.

Though the worst day of Baram’s life happened when she was 6 years old, her younger brother was born. She really hated the kid when he first came along because she didn’t want to share her parents love. But eventually she got over it and learned to live with the fact that a little brat would be invading her space. By the time Baram was 9 she had 3 brothers so she realized that there was no stopping her parents no matter how much she complained. The spotlight on her parents never slowed, usually women get out of the limelight after having kids but it didn’t stop her mom because she was still young and didn’t want to be a stay at home mom. She loved acting and still found time to do it though there were breaks in her career, she was selective on the dramas she picked and they were often hits. As for her dad his career was going so well that he got the name Korea’s Tiger, unbeatable, even winning gold in his division at the 2012 Olympics.

In 2015 their family decided to join the Return of Superman. For the first time ever the public was seeing their day to day life, Baram was used to being on camera but this was a whole new level. Viewers got to see her real personality and not everyone liked it, she was 11 at the time but often got called out for being rude. In reality she treated her brothers like any 11 year old would, her personality matched that of a pre-teen with brothers who were 5, 3 and 2 all with way more energy than she could handle at times. There were times she didn’t feel like helping her dad take care of them and times that she seemed annoyed for no apparent reason and times that she screamed at her brothers. When you’re forced to film all your life it is annoying, especially when the camera man is more focused on your brothers instead of you. The other families kids on the show were new to being on camera but Baram wasn’t so she didn’t try to fake who she was. Her parents parenting-style was even questioned for spoiling her not taking into consideration that it was a sensitive time and she was growing.

But it wasn’t all bad, the show also showed her goofy personality, close relationship to her parents and many talents. Her first judo competition win was featured on there, dance recitals, some behind the scenes of her modeling and filming for dramas. It actually helped her get into rapping too. Winner's Mino and Seunghoon came to take care of Baram and the kids in an episode while her dad was at a competition and they was playing some of their music. It was the first time Baram heard rap so she was really blown away and loved it. She tried to freestyle on the spot and it’s a moment that could still be seen on their YouTube channel today. This part got cut but Mino actually told Baram that rapping comes from your heart like a diary, a good way for her to start rapping would be to start a diary. After that episode Baram could actually be seen writing a lot more, there would be times when her dad comes along and she whines covering her book telling him to go away. Baram started listening to rap music everyday since then. The second time he came to take care of them a few years later she rapped again and he was blown away by her improvements, another moment that could still be found on YouTube. He jokingly said he would call YG right now. But when it was announced that Baram signed to YG not too long after the episode came out, it wasn’t taken well by netizens.

Parents — Shin Boyung and Ha Soowon — 08/11/1984 and 11/23/1984 — Ex Judoka turned Olympic Judo Coach and Actress and Model — ENFP and ESFJ
Baram’s has a great relationship with her parents, she’s not the type to hold back anything so they’re well aware of everything she’s going through. She might not tell them right away but eventually she always does. They’re always boosting her confidence and reminding her that she’s precious because they don’t want her to have insecurities from all the hate comments. They see it too and feel bad that they exposed her at such a young age so whenever she gets hate they blame themselves for it. Thats why whenever she asks for something they try to give it to her. But their relationship is really wholesome, before she goes to the airport her mom helps her pick an outfit and she sends a picture of all her meals into the family groupchat because her dad wants to make sure she’s eating well. They are still famous but not as much so as they used to be, her family stopped participating in The Return of Superman in 2019, the year before that her dad retired judo and became the head coach for the Olympic team instead. Her mom still does acting and modeling and still wins awards from time to time.

Brothers — Shin Baul, Shin Chiwon and Shin Hojin — 04/11/2010, 07/22/2012 and 12/10/2013 — Students — ESTP, INFP and ENFJ
As for her brothers, or the little s as she calls them, they’re annoying but she loves them anyways. Baul is the biggest pain in her , he disses her any chance he gets and despite the 6 year they literally fight. Even when he compliments her he has to say something mean and she always has a reply for the little brat. He did acting when he was younger but he’s more interested in judo. He’s the junior Judo champion in his age group and is expected to take his dads place. Chiwon is the smart one that even skipped a grade already. He isn’t interested in acting or judo but still is forced to do judo by their dad though he’s not good. He’s the nicest and most tolerable one, really camera shy and awkward. Baul and Hojin team up to make fun of him all the time and Baram always comes to his aid. Hojin is the youngest and future Lee Minho. He mostly does acting and because of that he’s a huge mamas boy and baby. He cries about everything but half the time it’s a fake cry to get what he wants. He looks up to Baram but still says that someday he’ll get more awards than her. He’s also a little flirt and has 3 girlfriends in elementary school right now. He was really popular on the show because he was the maknae but also the fact that he tried to kiss almost all the girl kids.

Wonyoung and Baram were best friends during Produce 48. They haven't talked much since due to the evil editing, it kind of ruined their friendship. They miss each other though and want to find comfort in each other again despite oddly being the reaons each other are suffering.

They get paired a lot because they're maknae's but they bicker like crazy. Sort of opposites. Baram doesn't have a problem with her in particular but she wouldn't be her member of choice either.

STAGE NAME: Shin Baram
POSITION: Main rapper, visual, center
TALENT TWIN: Moon sua
 
PRE-DEBUT: 
— Acting and modeling (2005–2016) — She was a child actress and model in many films, dramas, commercials and more. She won awards for her performances too.
— Star King (2008) — She was on Star King to show off her Judo skills with her dad at 4. She was known as the 4 Year Old Judo Master and actually won for that season. Viewers thought she was so cute because of how outgoing and talkative she was at a young age. She was even held by Minho of SHINee and Yuri of Girls Generation and attempted to be held by Shindong but she called him scary and cried.

TRAINEE SINCE:
— YG (11/2017–05/2018)
— Arthouse (07/2019–Now)
TRAINEE PERIOD: When Baram joined YG, the comments all screamed nepotism. If viewers paid attention during the Return of Superman she actually progressed with time and it wasn’t just something she did for fun she truly took it seriously. Mino didn’t contact YG, he saw the videos himself and contacted her parents all on his own. Training was hard but not as hard for her because she came from a wealthier family, YG was known for treating their wealthy trainees better and she was on the younger end of the spectrum so overall she didn’t get as much pressure as other trainees.

That’s not to say she didn’t have her hard times, other trainees thought the nepobaby wasn’t as talented as them. Other trainees talked behind her back and it was actually hard for her to make friends. Like the general public they assumed she got in because of Mino. She wanted to prove that she belonged there so she worked really hard to prove them wrong. No matter how good she was she couldn’t change their mind because she still got better lessons that the average trainee couldn’t get just because of her parents money. Taking a lyrics class with Teddy was for long time trainees but there she was sitting along with them. She even stopped showing up just to prove a point but it didn’t help much. That whole time her family was still on the Return of Superman and Baram would make occasional appearances still, since she was going through a hate train during training and puberty she didn’t have a good mood often so she also had to deal with hate from viewers.

In 2018 she left YG, their scandals made the company look bad and she didn't want to ruin her reputation, instead she joined Produce 48 as an idividual trainee. At first it wasn’t so bad, Baram was one of the most popular trainees. She was closest to Wonyoung but their fans hated each other. Wonyoung fans bashed Baram and exaggerated everything that she did making her look like a villain. Saying she didn't work hard and she was fat. Since she didn't have an agency she was evil edited, they leveraged the fact that she was already sort of disliked by some netizens from the return of superman. Despite being probably the most hated, she was still in the top votes until the end where she got 13th. She's almost 100% sure that she got rigged to stur drama and get people to watch.

She still appeared on the Return of Superman sometimes but was realtively quiet until she participated in Show Me The Money in 2019. In her interview she talked about wanting to show a different side of her and the struggles she faces then when she rapped she cursed a few times but overall had a good flow and touching lyrics. She actually moved onto the next level though viewers focused on her cursing at 15 and said a nepobaby couldn’t have struggles. Despite making it to the next round her parents instructed her to drop out fearing it would only cause her more harm than good. With all the negative press no one wanted to take a chance on her but Arthouse. 

Since Show Me The Money she stayed out of the public eye until her teaser was released and everyone was shocked.
STRENGTHS: Baram is best at rapping of course. Since she did acting and modeling since young it comes naturally to her. She also isn't shy in front of the cameras so she's good at variety.  Knowing judo helped her become flexible and she can learn dances quickly.
WEAKNESSES: 
She's not the best singer, her voice is on the weaker side and she's insecure about it since she knows she's a better rapper. Hiding her emotions is another problem she has, while she is good at variety she can be seen as rude sometimes. It also shows during performances when she feels bad or is in a bad mood.
