WHAT MADE YOU WHO YOU ARE
Family :
— Father | Choi Minjoon | 43 | Surgeon | wise, caring, funny, | she is daddy's little baby, they have an amazing relationship, more like bestfriends.
— Mother | Melinda Smith | 45 | Nurse | understanding, motherly, trustworthy | more often than not, the house is full of their screams when they fight with each other, it's normal. But of course they love each other with everything they have, they are mother and daughter after all.
— Older Brother | Choi Jason | 23 | University Student | cocky, conceited, vain, smart | they are like the cat and the mouse, they even bully each other when they have the chance, however, it's like I stated above, they do love each other very much.
— Younger Brother | Choi Richard | 3 | calm, stubborn, adorable, squishy | Irene does everything for Richard, he is the most important person in her life and she couldn't imagine the family without him. Richard loves to sleep on Irene's lap. He really is her pride.
Background :
— The majority of Choi Irene's childhood was captured on her father’s video camera; first steps, first words, her first babbling attempt to sing along with the most popular english songs. It wasn’t a super perfect life in the big city of London, but it was filled with the ever present love of her parents and older brother called Jason and later a baby brother called Richard. What the petite brunette lacked in physical presence, she made up for in determination and creativity, quickly developing an aptitude for finding ways around her short stature. Irene was happy to let her older brother take the spotlight as the sports oriented, outgoing child, and while she excelled in school and developed a love of music, she was always more subtle about her accomplishments. For most of her life, Irene had adamantly professed to a desire to become a teacher.
By the middle of her first high school year all thoughts of teaching had been squelched by the desire to pursue the art of singing, with a specific interest in becoming a KPOP Idol. And now you ask: why not trying something inside her own country? Well, Irene always had this big dream of travelling around the world, she said many times that her future wasn't in London. And when she first saw Shinhwa on stage, she fell in love with the kpop world industry. Her parents were surprised by the sudden change of heart, but their daughter’s passion was so intense that they could do nothing but support her.

IN THE HEAD
Personality :
(-) manipulative, short-tempered, snob, persuasive, blunt
If you get on Irene's bad side, she’s a . She doesn’t put up with bull and she’s very, very good at manipulating a conversation and outsmarting others just by talking to them. Let’s face it, Irene is not and never will be the person people go to when they want to party. It’s just not going to happen. She’s good with her family and with her close friends; she even cracks jokes and uses large amounts of sarcasm in their midst, but with people who she does not consider friends or even remotely friendly...well, she can be a little bit of a snob. She doesn’t mean to do it, but always gets on the way. She’s an average girl, if you think deep about it; boys make her nervous, girls make her cautious, but if you get on her good side, Irene will probably always stay there. By your side, that is.
Calm, collected, usually the voice of reason, you don’t find Irene lashing out at anyone often. Or ever. Unless, of course, that someone is messing with her family or her bestfriends. Her emotions often get the best of her when she’s really upset, but it’s thankfully rather rare that anyone upsets her. I mean, being made upset usually requires being spoken to, right? She can be selfish at times, not because she means to but because she genuinely forgets to think of other people’s feelings. She’s a nice girl, at the end of the day. She doesn’t harass anyone, only taking part in some minor teasing, typically between her friends and the worst thing she’s ever done is break a few boys’ hearts.
Irene loves doing anything new and is the queen of forcing anyone to try something whether it is going to a new place, trying new food, buying new clothes; she is always the first in line for it all. She’s also a very ‘take charge’ kind of girl and is basically the leader in the group. Irene is one of those girls that does everything she does perfectly, or she tries to. She’s always reminding herself that she can do whatever she sets her mind to, but more often than not, she falls short to her own expectations. It doesn’t help that she always feels like everyone expects so much of her; sure, she can act like a leader, but sometimes people need a break. When she’s overly stressed or really upset, Irene can get mean; snapping at people. But she always apologizes afterwards, but in the moment she can bit her tongue and calm down a little.

Love interest : Lee Jeongmin
Backup Love Interest : Mark Tuan
Date of Birth ❄ Age : January 2, 1994 + 20 years old
Group : Boyfriend
Personality :
— You're Amazing Just the Way You Are - You know how vanilla ice cream is sweet and simple yet popular enough that everyone likes it? That’s how you can describe Jeongmin. He likes to keep to himself and when people try talking to him he occasionally will shy away from them because he had built a shell around himself, although he has a shy personality he does have the occasional times where he’d have the soft burst of confidence and he’ll go up to someone and introduce himself to get to know them and make friends. His social skills aren’t the best and occasionally he might just seem so meek it’s a bit off putting and annoying which he doesn’t try to be, he just has her fear of someone trying to hurt him that he’s scared of the most. When he is on stage, his personality changes drastically, he becomes y, not afraid to follow the music. Jeongmin is also very funny, sometimes maybe too much, he likes to make lame jokes. People will eventually laugh even if the jokes are not funny at all.
How you met :
— My First Kiss Was a Little Like This - Jeongmin and Irene met in the most normal way possible: through someone else. In their case, it was through Chanyeol that both of them started to see each other. Let's just say that Chanyeol thought that his friend Jeongmin would look good with his best friend and that's how everything started. Nothing fancy, nothing worth of a romantic story in a drama, but something normal, yeah. They know each other for 4 years, it's been 4 years of ups and downs. In the past they were already walking around with fingers intertwined and smiles on their faces, no they never dated before, but he was her first kiss and vice versa. Yes, they do like each other very much, but they can't afford losing their dream job because of love, maybe in the future, who knows. They are very young and they still have a lot of time. People still say that they are too young to know what true love is, but deep down they know they belong together.
How you act around each other :
— When i'm not with you i'm weaker - When the two of them are together the atmosphere can become weird, not because they feel awkward with each other but because there's other people near them, so they basically don't speak with each other in public because they are too shy to be caught in the camera. They both know that their actions can easily be misunderstood, if they are caught hugging or being too intimate, on the next day there will be rumors all over the internet, and they don't want that, it would be bad for their career. Irene respects Jeongmin a lot. Even though they were pretty close in the past, now they are very professional. They keep a good friendship of course and sometimes people can see the way they look at each other, but it's just that, they can't do more, Jeongmin fans would probably kill her anyways.

AND WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE?
How did you get in the agency? :
— Irene auditioned for YG Entertainment in London but gave up after a year of training due different music tastes. After YG, the young girl stepped into SM Entertainment with a chic attitude. She believes that if she works hard her idols will become her rivals, and she couldn’t think of something better. Let’s just say that the judges ‘fell in love’ with Irene as soon as she stepped into the audition’s room, she was quite a character and she could definitely gain people’s attention with a snap of her fingers even if she was extremely clumsy with her dance moves. Sure she was lacking in some other things but with a few years of training she was ready to be a star like she always wanted to be. Coming from a different culture and country, Irene knew that she wouldn't be treated like a princess right away. In fact it was the complete opposite. First when she auditioned for SM they told her a bunch of stories about trainees that were bullied because they were foreigners. Alright, she isn't the type of girl to be affraid this easily, but she knew that her life wouldn't be easy.
How were your trainee days :
When she was accepted in SM, Irene felt a little bit more relaxed when she saw that she wasn't the only foreigner in there, but it still was hard for her, other girls would make fun of her pronunciation when she was trying to speak Korean with her british accent. She never was bullied physicaly, but she heard a lot of bad comments. However, her beautiful face saved her a lot of times. She made friends rather easily specially with boys that were curious to know her better. She even had a boyfriend during two months. She was strong, she fought everyday for a spot in the big KPOP world, it was thanks to her personality and strong desire to debut that Irene was able to overcome all the difficulties. Her bluntness and short-tempered personality sometimes would get in the way and she would have little problems, but she never pick up a fight with anyone unless they start it. She was the first girl to arrive at dance practice and would be the last one leaving.
