personality:

Hae Jin is bright, charismatic, competitive, independent, tomboyish, and vivacious. She’s always busy somehow, busy trying to be the best. If she’s at an athletic competition, she’ll be attracting attention for her fierce athletic attitude and skills. If she’s at a musical competition, she’ll be the star for her give-it-all attitude. In short, she draws attraction. She finds it extremely easy to focus because she only does the things she likes and is good at. For example, you will always find her playing sports or practicing music, you will never see this girl with any book but a manga, sports magazine, or songbook. And those glasses will never be reading glasses. She is a natural-born leader, slightly rebellious when it comes to minor rules. She won’t drink underage or anything, but tell her not to break curfew, and she’ll break curfew. She’s reliable, loyal, and kind- but everything except family comes after her. Ask her to get you snacks, and she certainly will, but only after she’s gotten her own. She’s responsible for herself and a fun friend but sometimes people doubt how reliable and generous she is. She’s ambitious, not exactly selfish, but sometimes narrow-minded and self-centered. She respects major things, like people’s passions for different things, or religious or political views, but she can be very narrow-minded about people’s life situations. She doesn’t think that anyone has an advantage or disadvantage, but sometimes in life, people are born advantageously or not. For example, she thinks everyone can become a model if they want, but this isn’t always the truth in real life. She’s naïve about things like that. She doesn’t believe in excuses, which she good, but sometimes she doesn’t listen to reason. She would challenge anyone in any sport or musical field, even experienced sunbaenims, for her pride. When she wins, she really dominates, and when she crashes, she falls hard. An all or nothing kind of girl, which makes people love her and hate her seconds later. That’s why she is so charismatic, but also ultimately independent. She doesn’t lean on anyone, and rarely, rarely lets anyone lean on her. If you are her fan, she’s your biggest fan and supporter, but she won’t ever take excuses. She’s not judgmental, but she’s not very understanding either.

Good things about her include her sense of humor, her sense of making you belong, her great confidence (which she tries to give to her friends through pep talks and such), her ambition, and her aggressiveness (ability to confidently take bets and risks), and her belief in people’s ability to succeed (she believes you can always succeed, no matter who you are, as long as you’re not versing her ><).

Another negative thing about her is that because she always expects to be the best, she has a hot temper and will get frustrated rather quickly. It makes it hard for people to work with her. Furthermore, she doesn’t take criticism well. Despite her best attempts, she will continue to be sullen around that person for a long time and start bad-mouthing that person in her head. She loves to learn, but she gets impatient and wants to excel faster than she should or could. For example, if her guitar teacher tells her to practice for a week and come back, she stills expects to master it in a few hours and gets mad when she doesn’t. She can get very irritable, huffy, and teenager-like when things don’t go her way. Sometimes, although her words don’t indicate this, her actions indicate arrogance. She damn well works her off, and loves what she is doing, but when someone threatens her spotlight, be it friend or not, she automatically feels sullen and somewhat annoyed. She expects to be the best, always. It makes it hard for people to get close to her, and she gets bad-mouthed by a lot of jealous girls and also by wiser sunbaenims who know that she would learn more from just calming down and taking the time to really digest things.

background history: She was born in Busan and then moved to Seoul, South Korea at a very early age. Her family was her parents and her two older brothers, Choi Min Seok and Choi Minho. Although her parents treated her like a princess, they were focused on sending Min Seok to college and making Minho successful in the kpop industry and didn’t really have time for her. They loved her a lot, and never deliberately neglected her, but it’s difficult to have three kids aged just so that they all required attention at the same time. By the time Minho was accepted and started training, Hae Jin had already developed an interest in music and dance by herself. She was very much like her brother Minho. Originally scouted by SM Ent. because her brother referred her and she auditioned well enough, placing 5^thout of 3000 at age 15. President SM admired her hard work and passion, and liked her sense of humor, but didn’t really like her arrogant nature. He always spoke well of her, but tended to avoid her and decided to put Krystal instead of her into f(x) because he wanted her to become more humble. Instead, he had Hae Jin model and compose often. Sometimes you were a backup dancer or backup singer for many different SM groups.

 

family members:

Father: Choi Suk Hyun/ 46/ Soccer Coach

 Treats Hae Jin like princess and Hae Jin treats him with respect but they don’t discuss personal things…Kind, but passive and slightly awkward.
Mother: Choi Ji Eun/ 45/ Lawyer
Relationship with Hae Jin: Treats her daughter like a princess and Hae Jin treats her with respect but they don’t talk about personal things… A straightforward, intelligent woman who works hard at life.

Sibling[s]:
Choi Minho/20/ SHINee member
Competitive (always bickering), but also very dependable. Overly protective of his sister, completely against her dating. Very similar to his sister, but a bit wiser and more mature.
Choi Min Seok (since Minho has an older brother…)/ 22/ College Student/
Very kind and gentle, not really competitive. A caretaker of the family who treats his siblings all the time. In all respects, Hae Jin’s father. Studious and responsible.

 

friends:

1. D.O. of Exo K: After debut, modeled in magazine together.

2. Jonghyun of SHINee: Before debut, met through her brother!

3. Park Bom of 2NE1: Before debut, met when Hae Jin was backup dancer for 2NE1.

love interest:

1. Myungsoo of Infinite, age 20

2. Jonghyun of SHInee, age 21

3. Sunggyu of Infinite, age 22

personality: Cold ice prince, and very suave about everything. The kind of guy who pretends to hate you clinging onto him or pretends to forget your birthday, but then secretly smiles to himself or does everything he can to make it a special event. Doesn’t use aegyo very much, but still warm and cute when he wants to be. His ability to laugh at himself and move on with his life, plus his overwhelming charisma is attractive to Ha Jin. Never superficial like most idols. Overprotective and very perceptive. Loves to be a slight rebel sometimes. For example, (sometimes when he misses seeing her), he likes to come and steal Hae Jin from work just to take her shopping or somewhere fun even though they both have practice everyday!)

have you met before or after debut: After debut: Um… I’m not sure. Maybe when she is modeling, she has to model with him?And then once she becomes an idol, they keep running into each other.  (I would like it if they haven’t met yet. But when they do meet, Hae Jin falls for him first and he totally brushes her off for a long time. Even when he starts liking her, he denies it to himself until a lot later.)  

rival: Krystal of f(x) is Hae Jin’s talent/love rival. Talent because Krystal took Hae Jin’s spot in f(x) and love rival because Krystal is Myungsoo’s current crush.

how did you get into sm: Originally scouted by SM Ent. because her brother, Minho of SHINee, referred her to the President and also because she auditioned well enough, placing 5^thout of 3000 at age 15.(She lived and auditioned in Seoul at the time.)

trainee period: 4 years

experience before debut: Modeling (Catwalk and magazine), Backup dancer for several different groups (ex.2NE1)

position: Main Dancer & Vocalist

stage name: Jin (Sounds sharper and more confident; last part of her real name)

persona: Tomboy Queen

fanclub name: Royals (since she’s the tomboy queen)

how does your character react around kids: She finds them burdensome and doesn’t like them all that much. Especially clingy kids. It’s because Hae Jin isn’t patient, she has herself to look after!

pretend that it happens: She’d think “hellllll no.” She wouldn’t say anything to that one person, but she’d make sure she beats them at everything onstage and on variety shows and such.

requests: Showdown with Krystal of f(x) in front of Myungsoo, haha. And Hae Jin loses.

comments/other: Thanks for your time! Let me know if I missed anything!
