Her hair is short and blonde after she had dyed it blonde from brown at the age of 15. She also recently got two small tattoos: a rose on her back, and a dove on her wrist. She stands at a height of 160 cm and weighs 55 kg. Between the ages of 14-18, she weighed almost 110 kgs and that caused her self esteem to be really low.

She tends to wear skinny jeans everywhere, unless it's a formal event. She loves her hightop sneakers and her high heeled boots. Juyeong tends to wear a lot of colors like blue, red, and black. However, she does know how to be 'girly' and she does wear skirts occasionally.
beauty is only skin deep
traits —
♚ (+) fun, kind, hardworking
♚ (-) loud, lazy, blunt
personality —
Her honest opinions, however, can get a little rude due to her bluntness. She doesn't usually come off as rude but some things she says and the tone she says some things in imply. She's blunt and that has cost her many a friendship. Not a lot of people can deal with her sassy tongue when it decides to come out and play. Despite the fact that she loves to work and is very hardworking, she's also on the lazy side. She doesn't like to overwork herself since she claims it makes her tired afterward. Coming into play with the bluntness and laziness is also her loudness. She loves to have a good time, but Juyeong can't exactly keep that to herself. She has to yell it loudly to make sure that people know that she's the only one having a good time. That constantly loud persona of hers makes her look a bit obnoxious.
There's a few negative things regarding her: She has a tendency to speak out of turn when she is on shows and when she is not alone. Her speaking out of turn connects to her blunt opinions side. She always has to in with her thoughts. Not only does she have a tendency to speak out of turn, she also has a tendency of being too rambunctious. She's broken several things in the dorm due to her pranks and chaotic parties. Sungyeol and Woohyun have rubbed off on her over a course of two years, since she is also very aloof and tends to zone out at the worst possible moments. She's zoned out on a variety show after debut when it was her turn to speak.
background —
Han Juyeong was born a small baby on October 11, 1992 in Seoul to a Korean businessman, Han Juhyeok and a Japanese cook, Ryu Takami. She had one older brother, Han Jaehyun, who was incredibly unhappy about the arrival of another baby. When Juyeong unexpectedly arrived, her parents were very hesitant on her. As a baby, Juyeong was very eager to explore and taste everything. She was a curious baby and she was always bullied by her older brother who was older than her by two and a half years. Juyeong didn't speak until she turned three and by that time, her parents feared that she was mute. She wasn't very fast on the uptake of things ad Jaehyun took to calling his sister a pabo. She learned how to speak with the help of her mother, Takami, who had quit her job as a cook to take care of her children.
When Juyeong was seven years old, her father Juhyeok got a promotion and the entire family moved to Ryu Takami's home country and home city, Tokyo, Japan. She went to school, was bullied by her brother who called her Junbaka. At the age of fourteen, the whole family moved back to Seoul and Juyeong was put into a music school and there, she flourished in music. At the age of fourteen she auditioned for the first time for an entertainment company and she flourished in progresses as she faced countless rejections. She took more singing lessons and at the age of 15, she made it nto her first company as a trainee. She was forced to lose a lot of weight since she was not the ideal image of an idol.
Her first company was Woollim Entertainment where she spent two years, in training, alongside Infinite. She became really close with the members of Infinite, particularly Woohyun because he was the first to accept the girl into the company. At the age of 17, she moved to Sunset Entertainment after having suffered laryngitis every three months. After she joined Sunset, she trained for a year alongside the rest of the group, and a year later, she was deemed good enough to debut with IRIS and so, she made her official debut at around the same time as Infinite.
the hiatus —
After the group went on an unofficial hiatus, Juyeong stayed in the spotlight, but she was more popular in Japan than Korea so Sunset Entertainment promoted her more in Japan than in Korea. She acted for a year in Ouran High School Host Club and Arang and the Magistrate before taking a break and staying in Tokyo for a fyear and a half to be with family and friends and just to be a normal kid and go to college for a while.
While living in Tokyo, she was frequenting maid cafes and Infinite fan signs so that she could chat with her best friend, Woohyun. Not only that, but she was also studying music in an art shcool in Tokyo while living there, so that she could come back to Korea, ready to take on challenges and ready to face the fans. In early 2014, she came back to South Korea and caught up with Infinite as well her fellow members. In October of 2014, she celebrated her 22nd birthday in a restaurant with her family and friends.

iris family values
family —
- Father / Han Juhyeok / 56 / hardworking, polite, prideful /Closeness: 5
Juyeong and her father, Juheyok aren't very close, because he spends more time with her older brother grooming him to take over the company. Whenever they do hang out, it's an awkward silence that envelops them. Juyeong finds herself feeling incredibly awkward and constantly at a loss for words. He is silently supportive of her dreams and goals, and that is enough to make Juyeong happy.
- Mother / Han Takami (nee Ryu) / 54/ caring, fun, honest /Closeness: 10
Takami is like Juyeong's best friend. She tells her mother everything that happens to her and makes it an occasion to call her every two weeks, to update her on what's up in her life and get advice on what to do. She trusts her mother more than her closest friends. When she comes to visit, Takami takes her out shopping to gossip and do girly things like manis and pedis. Takami has also passed on her skills as a chef to Juyeong.
- Brother / Han Jaehyun / 25 / bossy, annoying, loud, rambunctious / Closeness: 9
Jaehyun and Juyeong fight like cats and dogs. They constantly prank each other and she is always on the receiving end of his most brutal pranks. However, Jaehyun loves his sister in his own way. Juyeong constantly teases him about not having a girlfriend and Jaehyun just takes it, because he knows that Juyeong means best. Together, they are the ultimate party team, throwing down awesome parties.
you've got a friend in me
friends —
- best friend / Lee Joonkyu / 24/ fun, rambucntious, a party girl, lazy / Closeness: 9
Lee Joonkyu is her brother's ex girlfriend. Juyeong and Joonkyu shop and gossip together all the time. Jaehyun always wonders why she's friends with the girl she initially hated, but Joonkyu and Juyeong are too similar to not get along. Juyeong and Joonkyu watch dramas together and fangirl over all the actors together. They are very close and Juyeong calls her Unnie~.
- best friend / Nam Woohyun / 23 / greasy, sassy, fun, annoying at times / Closeness: 10
Woohyun was the very first person that Juyeong met at Woollim when she came there. They bumped into each other and Woohyun tried to flirt with her with his hearts. She intially just gave him a weird look and hit him as hard as she possibly could. Woohyun to this day claims that she will one day fall for him and she just lets him think whatever. They're close enough for people to think that they're dating but she says that she loves him as friend.
- friend / Kim Hyojung (Hyorin) / 23 / cute, fashionable and loving / Closeness: 7
Juyeong met Hyorin backstage at Music Core after Iris had debuted. Altough not as close as she is with Joonkyu or Woohyun, Juyeong considers Hyorin the unnie of all unnies, since the singer helps her with her vocals and her fashion sense. Juyeong thinks that Hyorin gives the best advice ever and often comes to her with relationship issues and personal issues.
we'll laugh until our ribs get tired and that will never be enough
love interest — Lee Sungyeol (Infinite)
backup love interest — Nam Woohyun (Infinite)
starting relationship — They know each other through other people but don't really talk a lot.
desired ending relationship — Steadily dating.
how did the two meet —
Sungeyol and Juyeong met through Woohyun. Woohyun and Juyeong had been chatting in one of the Woollim practice rooms, seemingly very close, like she was leaning towards him and he was leaning towards her. All they were talking about was the upcoming vacation that Infinite was going to have and their plans for it. Sungyeol had walked into the practice room, looking for Woohyun because Sunggyu had told him to come and get him so that they could run through the songs again. Juyeong striaghtened herself and she had looked over at Woohyun and silently agreed to the amusement park, before stalking past Sungyeol with a smirk.Woohyun noticed how Sungyeol watched her walk out and he just laughed at the giant. Sungyeol had asked Woohyun if the girl who was with him was his girlfriend and Woohyun just nodded, laughing.
personality —
Sungyeol may seem like the studious & smart type.But he’s really aloof.He has a lot of weak points like whenever he talks, he squeaks and he easily cries. Sungyeol, however, is still very intelligent. He has a broad but narrow knowledge base that led to his first place finish in Infinite's Ranking King. His intelligence doesn't usually shine due to his childishness. Known as ChodingYeol to everyone, he is the resident prankster in Infinite.
He is the one who loves to prank and bully the rest of s and managers. Famous for the vinegar banana prank, Sungyeol's chodingness shines all the time, making him out as a weird giant kid. He knows when to get his together and he comes off very serious and hardworking, striving to get as high as he can without the help of his relatives.
relationship —
For the longest time ever, since they met awkwardly, Sungyeol was convinced that Juyeong was Woohyun's girlfriend. He only realized that it wasn't true when Juyeong told him.
Since then, Juyeong and Sungyeol have had a very mutual understanding when it came to pranking and having fun. She would come up with the idea for the prank and he would put it in action. The target for their non stop pranks are IRIS and Infinite and they're rather the fun troublemaker duo in everyone's eyes. They constantly cause trouble and a lot of people almost never suspect them because they reveal themselves right away with loud laughs.
In private though, Juyeong shows her sweet side to him. She cooks for him and he sings for her. She secretly loves his voice, even though he always claims that he's not as good as Sunggyu or Woohyun or even Myungsoo and Juyeong always makes sure that she tells him that. They love each other and despite the fact that they do fight all about little things like who pays for dinner and big things like their families, Sungyeol and Juyeong still find each other at the end of the day and they know the other holds their heart.
She likes his voice, his personality and the fact that he can have fun at the saddest moments. It keeps her strong knowing that there's someone by her side who can do that. She loves that he makes her smile. He loves the fact that she doesn't judge him right away and allows him to be the choding that he is or the y one.
