appearance — She keeps her hair short because she enjoys less hassle when waking up, yet it’s enough to be put into a small, thin ponytail on top. Her eyes look black, but are a very dark brown. She often uses colored contacts because she hasn’t been able to afford LASIK surgery. Her hair is currently black, but she often dyes it brown or even segments of it blonde. She has a thin pear-ish figure, which means no chest but her hips/upper legs are larger. Yooryung likes eyeliner and BB cream, a lot. Like, Etude House better beware. Her ears are pierced, where she uses clunky round earrings. (Often black).

fashion style — Often Yooryung wears strange, cartoonish snapbacks, a signature look of hers. She takes inspiration from male ulzzangs and sometimes hiphop style. Her wardrobe inspiration is G-Dragon with a bit of “Pharrell-oppa” and princesses. She likes poofy-tutu like skirts, strangely enough. She isn’t afraid to wear dresses, either. However, she often mismatches them with sneakers. Her collection of bandanas and snapbacks is massive as well. She also delves into being androgynous,since it suits her short hair. The blazer and dark jeans look is one of her favorites, since she does not mind tight clothing and often prefers it.

(-) Over analytical, Judgmental, Steadfast, Resorts to black-and-white thinking.

personality — 

The quality that stands out most for Yooryung is her lack of intense facial expressions, which parallels her reserved nature. She’s capable of excitement, it doesn’t show. However, this means that she is good at subtle expressions (such as raising her eyebrow. Which she exploits. A lot). She isn’t shy, but instead prefers to save her words. This comes from her own superstitious belief that talking too much results in no inspiration when songwriting. She takes everything seriously, often missing the point of sarcasm until thinking it through. However, the ambiguity of sarcasm often leaves her to overthink people’s responses and actions. You can tell when she’s overthinking because she puts her hand to her chin and she paces in a circle. She is absentminded in this state, and doesn’t notice people unless they’re in her face. However, this doesn’t mean she is uptight, but just needs time to think about things. Clueless in love, she was never aware of people interested in her romantically. Often, her friends play this up to comedic effect. She earned the nickname “No Jam Ryung”, especially since a girl confessed to her, and Yooryung took this as an offer for friendship. However, she is perceptive when others are involved. She prides herself in being honest to herself.

As much as she doesn’t do well in languages, she is quite autodidactic and teaches herself music theory and reads a lot to get the feel of language, when rapping. Yooryung can learn many things by herself, such as lyrics and the rap bits in songs. She can also read music, yet sometimes has problems when translating that same song to dancing. However, criticism isn’t something she takes to heart. Yooryung instead uses it to improve herself, often showing some progress. Criticism, to her, is necessary for all future success. What she is determined in doing is improving the group. Determination can also blur itself into her being steadfast, examples being where she is fixed on one choice because her judgment is based on what she considers is “right”. Therefore, she becomes determined to maintain this point of view. When people are too easy to persuade or very hypocritical and fake, she often judges them as “naïve” or even weak, to some extent. Yooryung also judges the vapid and gossipy people she encounters, often choosing to not acquaint herself with them. This proves to be an issue when she needs to deal with others, especially if she sees flaws like this in someone. She doesn't gain many friends like this. Her method of thinking is very linear (jumps to conclusions), and lacks a middle ground normally. This can be an issue when she only sees the objective side, and not the emotional side. 

background

Born the oldest sibling, she was meticulously cared for by her mother, who would often sterilize the path before even letting her walk. She kept her little baby attached to her for most of Yooryung’s infancy. Her father’s work after took him away at a 9-5 basis, but he’d had time for dinner and recording Yooryung’s antics as a child. It involved her running around in circles, with a stoic face. She developed a stutter soon into her toddler years, which her mother tried to correct with speech therapy videos and techniques she found on Google. As a way to solve this, Yooryung decided instead to stop talking unless necessary. It was efficient, in her eyes, yet her mother soon tried to resolve this as well. Even if it meant saying goodbye to her lovely “obedient daughter” who never back talked. Because Yooryung is her mother’s child indeed, she conditioned herself to control her tic with singing and practice. Sooner or later, in middle school, her singing became a way of her speaking when she doesn’t want to talk.

In middle school, her best subjects were Math and Music. She lacked in English and History, where she often had issues finishing homework and assignments without outside help. (Google cough cough). She was popular with females, due to her short hair and her voice. Also, she had pressure from family to finish well so they could move from Gwangju to Seoul, due to the demand of pharmaceutical research. She began working hard to raise her grades up, and finish off with a bang. Regardless, her resolve to do well in school succeeded, getting her top 10% of the generation. Her electives included Choir, which she was well known for having several solos. This is when she revealed to her parents that she was interested in being an idol.

“In high school, she looked into various performing arts high schools. Her mother was excited to have an artist in the house, yet her father was just surprised she decided to go the “idol” route. Either way, they selected Seoul Music High School because it was the closest to the new house they bought (walking distance isn’t that great). On her way to school, Yooryung was approached by people with similar uniforms, which turned out to be Namhyun and Namsoon. Both Namhyun and Namsoon decided to befriend her at the same time, in unison. They started bickering about who could be a “better friend.” This amused Yooryung, which sparked a friendship. They were known as a trio, much to the JungNam twins’ disappointment to avoid another “label”. Yooryung soon joined the choir, and made other (both less and more significant) friends.

As the weeks approached, a homecoming showcase was going to be presented in the large theater to show the “talent” of Seoul Music. Rumor spread that there were going to be entertainment company representatives, from SM to JYP. Yooryung took note of this, and made sure to secure a spot as a solo or a group. She trained, with the help of The JungNam twins to pick a good song. Namhyun, the biggest Americaphile, gave her an Usher song to show off her R&B skills. Days passed, until the fateful day came and Yooryung finally felt the bundle of nerves affect her. Even then, she began singing “”, and gained some good reputation for being clear in her voice. A CUBE representative was impressed with the potential of her voice, even if her expressions were less on point. He invited her to audition, and he made sure to keep “tabs” on her. After sending a very “emoji”-full text to both Nam twins asking for advice on the next song, she planned to try out.

Now with a Korean song (courtesy of Namsoon), she walked into CUBE Ent. Now more confident in herself, she pursued her dream with full force. She chose a snippet of “Hot Times” which showed off the vocal capacity, and after leaving the building, decided to go for a walk with her cat, Dubu. The hours turned into days, and when Yooryung got the phone call, the world stopped turning for 5 entire minutes. She felt it. She was on her way to becoming an idol.

the love of my life~

love interest — Lee Jeongmin (Boyfriend)

backup love interest — Kim Namjoon (BTS)

personality — According to Minwoo, “Jeongmin’s role in the group is he is the person that makes people feel that he is easy to get close with, and he has a lot of humor but it’s hard to know what he is thinking about in his heart.” It is said that he is extremely chill, yet is excitable and has a great sense of humor. He is also quite the optimist, even in harsh situations. Often, he is called the joker of the group, but is still mysterious. He flip-flops from being outgoing to laidback. He wants to be a romantic boyfriend.

relationship —

“First meeting: They met in high school, being in the same generation and having classes together. They both had vocal and music theory classes, where they conversed little a day. Yooryung didn’t fully understand his jokes and the way he interacted with others. However, sooner or later, they bonded over Big Bang. This allowed for more free-flowing conversations, even she started seeking him out to text about G-Dragon and his great releases. To contrast with her strangely frozen face, she utilizes a lot of emoticons to express feeling. Jeongmin often commented on this the first year they had classes together [[“You don’t look happy.” “This is my ecstatic face.”]]

“You’re a good friend.”: Yooryung, as clueless as she is, finds it hard to see if Jeongmin is trying to make advances or making a joke, because she doesn’t understand either one. If Jeongmin tries to be romantic in his texts, the meaning is especially lost and it results in Yooryung questioning whether Jeongmin is sick or worried. To solve this “problem”, she often tries to bring him baked goods from a bakery near the school to “cheer him up”. Also, because she views him as a friend, she has no problem asking him for strange favors such as walking her cat Dubu to the park with her. Jeongmin might interpret it as a date, but the meaning is lost on her.

“ I don’t see ur point”: Whenever someone brings up the topic of romance at the table of friends, Yooryung never seems to realize that if she were to list out the traits of her “ideal type”, it’d correlate to Jeongmin. Her response, if asked, is “We’re friends. I don’t see your point.” Jeongmin, however, lists his own as “a girl who I can get along well with. A cool type of girl. So a natural girl who is like my best friend is my ideal type”. Her friends mock her, and Jeongmin joined in the “No Jam Ryung” club after seeing how obvious he’d have to be.

“i could be ur boyfriend ^o^”: When Yooryung visits Starship Entertainment, she likes seeing all the Boyfriend merchandise because it means that she can obtain a Jeongmin poster so she can draw on him [[“This work is called Ddongmin, hence the feces on the head.”]] without getting in trouble. Jeongmin feels confused yet intrigued by the act. She sings Boyfriend lyrics a lot, which results in his confusion.
