Tell me something about your background:

Haru is the youngest to the Song family. When she was 6, a manager from SM had scouted her into the company. The agency saw potential in both Haru and her second brother and offered them singing lessons, opting to professionally train them in a singing career.  At that time, Tae Ki still had no success in finding a job, so they didn't have income. Hence,  they allowed Haru and Jiho to enter SM and train to become singers . She did not really need to train much at the agency, they just signed her to let her appear in music videos and commercials. They focused training her on acting. In the same year, Haru started appearing in television commercials and small roles on dramas. Her sucess only lasted for several years because when she was 9, her underbite (that was not really a problem before) became more severe. SM stopped letting her appear on television and let her undergo treatment. However, it didn't work. The underbite had caused interferance with her speech and often caused her jaw pain. At the age of 12, when the doctors confirmed that her jaw had stopped growing, SM opted for plastic surgery to which her parents agreed to (they didn't need to pay for anything anyways). After healing, then SM officially started training her to become a singer. Personally, the surgery just something she didn't really pay attention to because she believed the insides of person were more important than the outer, nevertheless, she felt grateful for the surgery because it stopped the pain she was feeling.

When she started to appear in commercials, her classmates were really friendly with her. Everyone wanted her to be their friend. However, as time passed, her underbite became more severe and her so-called 'friends' would call her names and bully her. After the surgery, it got worse since they would call her 'plastic surgery monster'. The bullying and teasing got so bad that she eventually had to transfer schools. She just didn't understand why there was a need to be so mean, but she didn't really take it to heart since she's ignorant like that. It was during this time when her parents and brothers became more protective of her, trying to shield her from people who they believed had ill intentions towards her. In her new school, people treated her better because they did not know about her surgery. 

A year after her contract with SM was over, her parents gave her the choice of whether she wanted to continue on or not. This time she had a choice as her father just got a job as a veterinarian. She said she wanted to take a break from the trainee life, thus, not renewing her contract. She wanted to concentrate on her school work and life rather than just training everyday. For 4 years, she focused herself on studying and eventually achieveing her goal of getting into university. This time, she had no more goals. She felt lost and this was when an agent from Stardom Entertainment had scouted her and that was how she restarted her trainee life.

{≈Your Personality All Around≈} 

Peony_closeup.jpg

Haru is many things, but heroic isn't one of them. She is hapless, at times a bit ridiculous and loud, but always very kind and sweet. She is also inexperienced and naive. She habitually mistakes fiction for reality, substitutes things she's read in novels for the real-world experience she lacks. Her overactive imagination causes her to make a number of mistakes around people. Her imagination makes her very adventurous, often wanting to find out everything that seems to be eerie or out of place.

Haru's tendency to view reality through the lense of fiction also leads her to jump to faulty conclusions about people. In fact, she has trouble understanding real people. She frequently turns the people she meets into the characters about which she has read. Her problems to understanding people as real people and not as fictional character cause her a lot of problems. She often falls in with the wrong crowd and is largely unaware of how people manipulate her. Communication is the real issue for her, and she also has problems articulating herself. Her limited experience and naivete causes her to understand everyone around her in terms of herself. She is chronically unable to discern or to figure out people's actual motives. Her obliviousness to the world around her can cause hilarious situations and misunderstandings.

Despite being naive, she is a kind person and stands up for justice. She is outspoken and almost immediately states her opinions which sometimes causes the other person to feel hurt. She doesn't mean it 100%, but she speaks faster than she can think. As a result, sometimes her words come out harsher than it should. She is gentle and welcoming to people who support them or anyone in general. Haru is the female version of all the Mr Nice Guys out there. She never hesitates to help out when people need her, or even when they don't, she jsut likes to offer help. Basically the "Yes Man", she can hardly refuse someone when they ask for help. That is why people gave her the nickname "Kure Kure Claire" (Ok, ok Claire), meaning that she always says ok to everyone.This is when people manipulate her, the people she helps thinks that she will always be there to help. Technically she is, but others take her for granted for that reason. She once rejected someone when they asked for help and they immediately thought ill of her, saying that she only thinks about herself.

Haru can be inflexible and uptight as well. She follows strict principles on life.For example, she took it upon herself that she would wake the members up in the morning to avoid being late for their schedule. She also uses formal speech to her members and basically everyone which makes almost everyone pretty uncomfortable, but she's not very good at informal speech. Her uptight personality allowed her to excel in housework and cooking. She has a desire to learn a lot of things such as languages, instruments and even sports. Sadly, she is not very blessed when it comes to stamina. However,she likes to particpate in sports such as archery or shooting (sport) ,basically sports that do not require her to run. Her inflexibleness is caused by no one but herself, her persistence caused her to lead an uptight life.

 On-stage: 
Her on-stage persona is a better version of herself. Someone who is more confident and still a bit awkward though. She is not incredibly good at aegyo like when she is off-stage, but she is lively and active on stage minus the aegyo. She is polite to people who come and support them. She tries to do fan service, but obviously not as good as other members, so in the end she just makes hearts to the audience. She's actually very happy when she's on stage, just because she genuinely enjoys performing.
If she sees Onew on stage or are in the same show together: she acts indifferent, but still very shy and polite. She will try to avoid eye contact with him as much as possible by looking at others.

 Off-stage: 
She normally thanks the staff for their help. If she's tired, a smile and a bow will be the only things she would do until she gets rest. When she is off stage, she likes to observe how the fans react to other groups or members performing. 

 Off-cam: 
She becomes less confident and would hang out with her members and stand behind them if no one is talking to her. 


 Onew: Since she is a huge fan of Onew, she literally cannot hide the fact that she is super embarrassed. If Onew looks at her by chance, she would cover her face or hide behind someone. She blushes a lot and can't really talk very well when she knows his attention is on her (she will stutter and talk fast).Her reaction is very very similar to the the ahjumma at 14:00.  http://kshowonline.com/kshow/1012-%5Bengsub%5D-hello-counselor-ep.100  

 Around group members:
She has trouble understanding her members, so she tries her best to understand what they really want. She speaks to them formally and will tell them directly if she thinks they are not doing something right. She is eager to correct their mistakes. Despite that, she does lend them a shoulder and an ear if they need it. She knows she can't give any advice, but at least she feels that getting them to talk about their problems will help a bit. 

 Around other groups/seniors:
She is polite, respectful and slightly awkward. She bows and greets them whenever she bumps into them.

Best Friends: 

 Jung Soo Jung (Krystal)|| 19 || Singer || 9/10

How did you two meet?:  The two met when both girls officially started their trainee life. Both girls were under the same vocal coach. Krystal was the first one the approach Haru because she was alone like her while all the others in pairs. 
How do you treat each other?: The girls call each other by their Korean names rather than stage names.  Haru likes to go on"adventures" like cracking myths about the SM trainee rooms that she heard from her brother. She pulls Krystal along with her who at first seems very displeased but always ends up having a blast herself. Krystal drags her along to "food trips" just before their training. Their food trips often consist of going to several different stalls to eat snacks. Since Krystal can't finish 1 serving by herself, Haru often helps finish the food since she has a bigger appetite than Krystal. 
After leaving SM, the girls still see each other despite not being in the same company anymore. They try to make time at least once a month to catch up and have a nice cup of tea.
Tell me something about him/her: On the outside,Krystal seems to have an attitude problem. It's actually not the truth! Haru believes it's just the cameras capturing her at the wrong time. She is very warmhearted to Haru.

How do you treat each other?: Haru treats her like the big sister she never had and Jessica treats her like family. They hang out often, and Jessica invites her to their home.Haru goes to her for advice sometimes and buys her food. Jessica sometimes tags along Haru and Krystal to their adventures.

 Nickname(s) 
 Date of Birth | Age 14 December, 1989 | 25
 Occupation Singer
 How you two met Krystal brought her backstage one day to say hello to Shinee before one of their many concerts.Haru didn't really know who Shinee was before that since she was very out dated with Kpop. Before visiting,Haru had to go to the washroom and told Krystal to greet them first. Knowing Krystal, she would definitely wait for Haru before she did anything.Haru was feeling a bit uncomfortable for making Krystal wait, so she rushed and accidentally bumped into someone pretty hard just outside the washroom causing both of them to fall over. She was shocked and very apologetic, so she bowed deeply. Usually, the other person would curse or scold her if that happened, but this person bowed to her and apologized as well. He even asked her if she was alright and gave her a smile. She apologized again and ran to Krystal. 
Krystal introduced her to the 4 members of Shinee who were in the room. While she was being awkward, Onew entered the room and gave Haru a kind smile which made Haru blush as she remembered her mistake a while ago. She bowed again. Krystal then introduced the both of them to each other.
 Reaction to you pre-debut?— He was pretty shocked, but learned that it was a needed procedure so he didn't really mind
 Relationship status friends (they are texting each other)
 How long have you been together?— not yet
 How you treat each other 
At first, Haru was very shy around him, like any other fangirl. She gave him his peronal space and didn't really dare to come to close near him. It was Onew who surprisingly talked to her first. She seemd indifferent and he thought she wasn't interested in becoming friends, but she was just hyperventilating in her mind to have her idol talk to her. She doesn't really look at him when talking or she tries to avoid as much eye contact as possible. One day, Onew decided to exchange numbers with her despite her weirdness and shyness around him. 
By that time they weren't able to see each for a long time since Shinee didn't have any comebacks. They texted each other very often, of course Onew starting the conversations first. As time went by, she became less shy and would even joke with him in the texts. And when they saw each other for a long time, Haru was finally able to have eye contact with him, she's still shy and blushing though. Onew then joked is it because he is too handsome. Haru then replied yes a bit seriously and made the situation awkward. Luckily, Onew knew how to redirect attention to other topics.

Onew is very kind to her, patient even to this uptight and naive girl. He gently leads her to the right path, he knows that she is very innocent and can be manipulated by others, so he keeps an eye out for her whenever he can. Haru still sees Onew as the prince to her happy ending, but is not sure how their relationship will work out.Sometime, because of this, she puts pressure on herself before meeting him and Onew can feel it. So he lightens up the mood by jokes or doing unexpected things like his Donald Duck impersonation.

Once Haru is comfortable with Onew, she would for his jokes if they were lame and she'd throw in a lame joke herself. Onew in turn teases her for her naiveness. 
 Describe him  He comes off as the goofy, cheerful leader of Shinee. Once the cameras are out of sight, he is more of a quiet  person who likes to sleep and watch TV in the dorm, He is incredibly polite and respectful to every person he meets, bowing to everyone he sees. He can be clumsy and will accidentally trip or hurt himself. The "Onew Condition" is real though. His accidents aren't deliberate. He sometimes just comments at the wrong time and can make the atmosphere drop to below freezing. However there are time when he can also be funny. 

He is caring and a good listener. Being the eldest in Shinee, he feels the responsibilty to be a good model for his dongsaengs and take the role of leading them well. They come to him for advice and talk to him, he listens to them well and gently leads them without forcing them to make rash decisions. Because of the burden of being the leader, he rarely opened up about his own feelings, not wanting to disturb others. But now, he sometimes talks to s about his problems and asks for their advice. He is thre type who hates having others worrying about him. He usually covers his pain and problems with a big smile on his face.

He can be shy around girls. Despite being shy, he wants to lead the relationship like a real man. He prefers to be the one to initiate the dates.He is also shy about physical contact with the girl he likes.



Backup Love Interest

Peony_closeup.jpg

 Name Kim Jonghyun
 Nickname(s) 
 Date of Birth | Age April 8, 1990 | 24
 Occupation Singer
 How you two met Introduced by Krystal just before a concert. He thought it was quite funny that she blushed when she saw Onew. They met again when Shinee had a comeback and Krystal brought her again.
 Reaction to you pre-debut?— shocked, very shocked. Like Onew, he is understanding and didn't pay much attention to it
 Relationship status acquaintances 
 Something going on with him?— 

He tries to "educating" Haru in a sense. He spends most of his time either teasing Haru about her ignorance or explaining things to her, mostly about people's motives and behavior. He is a good influence on Haru and helps her correct her faulty assumptions about people. He encourages her to use common sense.Jonghyun is able to help Haru become more self aware. He is considerate and funny, because of this Haru starts to like him. He, compared to Onew, prefers to take on the role of the bad guy. When Haru does something that affects herself for instance being manipulated by people (like really bad), he decides to step in and talk some sense into her.

Besides that, Jonghyun is witty and confident when he is around her. He likes it when he makes her feel shy and he'd laugh it off. Despite that, Haru sometime catches him off guard and he is put in Haru's shoes in the situation beforehand, he becomes the one to blush and awkwardly laugh it off. Jonghyun also always never misses a chance to poke fun at her for her admiration and major crush on Onew and he sometimes "threatens"(jokingly which Haru thinks is real) to tell him if she doesn't help him (do minor tasks like massage or buy him coffee).

 How you treat each other 
 Describe him  
He has a charming personality which most people fall for when meeting him. He is fun loving, bubbly and talkative. Good at socializing with others, he has a can keep a lot of his high school friendships despite his status as a famous idol. Although his outward manner is best described flamboyant, he is actually very dedicated to his work, training and friends. He is charming and poised on cameras, but once they get off from work, he is often bumbling and attention-seeking from s and friends, often asking them to play games with him. He is very good at handling people and can often know what they want when he talks to them.He is skilled in understanding people's behaviour.He is actually quite shy with doing physical contact with the girl he likes, despite being called "Skinship King" in Hello Baby. He gives off this immense playboy vibe, but is actually serious when it comes to a relationship.
