              ❝ i can't say i'm sorry for being so damn gorgeous. 
 faceclaim #1 ) : min hyorin
 FACECLAIM #2 ) : clara lee

 style ) : sooah seems to find a way to pull off anything, from an ugly frilled dress from grandma to an overly flashy stage uniform to old sweatpants, remarkably by how her body naturally compliments clothing of nearly all sorts. when dressing herself, sooah likes to keep things sophisticated, chic, and y. she leans more towards solid, darker colors, enhancing her lowkey goth look she's got going on: "black will always be the new black!". her favorite kind of clothing is ones with a transparent kind of sheer fabric. she loves accessories such as chained necklaces, cute rings, and funky socks because they can be spice up a seemingly dull outfit. she loves to look as glamorous as possible when going out for an important night, going full out by wearing sparkly makeup, long dresses, and heels that will kill.

 appearance ) : with a face crafted by the goddesses, a slim and proportioned body sculpted by the gods, it's hard to imagine that this woman would have any complexes with herself. and personally, she doesn't! she wouldn't wish for anything more or less of her physical appearance, as long as she keeps up on her health on her personal time.

ko sooah is blessed with long dark chocolate colored hair that surprizingly doesn't need much grooming in the mornings to look nice. messy, lightly straightend hair is a popular style for sooah. tries to create a different look in terms of makeup everyday, depending on her mood, ranging from a dark smoky eye and red lipstick for her "i feel like stepping on some boys today" look to an au'naturale for the more chill kinds of days. she has one regular piercing on each ear, and is practically unmarked besides common bruises on her knees from dance practices.

 nicknames  ) : 
fishy : other trainees called her this to make fun of her stage name  and in no exsisting universe is this acceptable.

 mother + ko minsook + 45 + hairdresser + "i'm simutainiously the hottest and coolest mom in town." kinda bossy, a little sassy, but 100% fabulous. it's real obvious where sooah got her looks and attitude from. this woman is the purest definition a diva. though the ko family isn't anywhere near wealthy standards, minsook sure likes to act like she is. perhaps the only lady with a bigger ego than sooah, and sooah looks up to her style of living more than anything, and minsook was the one that got her into makeup and beauty in the first place. though she is a bit blunt, assertive, and the more dominant "let's get the show on the road!" kind of person of the household, she loves her little family a lot and only tries to do things for the best of them. she is very encouraging of sooah's choice of becoming an idol and calls her often to check up.

 father + ko jungwoo + 48 + chef + "i am...the cook of the house. that's all i do." jungwoo looks like a warm family man, right? well, he is! but the downside is that he doesn't show his love or expressions as much as he wants to, which is perhaps where sooah got her introverted side from the family. he is highly protective of sooah, not to an obsessive extent, but enough to tell his only daughter those "dad-lectures" about the rights and wrongs in life ever once in awhile. she knows her dad means well, but sooah simply doesn't want to listen sometimes. this had led to a growing father-daughter disconnection, and the gap has just been getting bigger since sooah left to become an idol. he rarely answers sooah's messages or calls anymore. jungwoo has always been this distant towards sooah, as far as she knew him. he always leaned away from making decisions for her, and more or less just watched his daughter grow up through the few hours he actually got to saw her after coming home from his late work schedule. truth is, jungwoo just wants the best for her, and is conflicted with worrying about being a bad father if he pushes to hard. he is a sensitive man... and sooah honestly wants to build a real relationship with him even after all these years, but they both just don't know where to begin.

 Friends  ) : 

tumblr_m0kho05TRf1qdasngo6_r1_250.gif tumblr_m0kho05TRf1qdasngo6_r1_250.gif tumblr_m0kho05TRf1qdasngo6_r1_250.gif

 seo aerin + 20 + buisness college student + "the most glamourous power duo in all of korea!" these two had an unlikely start to a beautiful friendship. both being queen bees in the beauty department since their toddler years, sooah and aerin met at a beauty pageant in seoul, both at age 6. aerin had more experience at the time, and with sooah's competitive mind, these little girls were tough competitors. they were put as finalists many times against each other, but never really had time to personally know the other. when sooah retired pageants at age 9, they were pulled from ever seeing each other again ... untill middle school approached two years later, and what do you know, they met again at same school! they became friends through similar classes and popular intrests: makeup, beauty, cats, singing, and the sorts. they never mentioned pageants until a few weeks into their friendship, and came as a surprize when they found out. they have both taken different roads in life now, but still keep in touch and support each other. aerin is the more outgoing and playful of the two, she often likes to try to get sooah's cutesy side out. they often gossip and do girly stuffs whenever they have time to visit the other, and their pageant story is still a fun topic to laugh and talk about today.

jung hanyoung + 22 + backup dancer under jyp + "who the hell does this crusty looking dancer boy think he is" : hanyoung has this 'i'm obviously flirting with you but you're choosing to ignore it but we both know you are obsessed with me' idea with sooah. he's always showing off in front of her with considerably ok pickup lines, and does these funky dance moves when approaching her - making sure she sees - as if he's one of those jungle birds that hop around to attract a mate. he's constantly teasing and embarassing her, trying his best to make her laugh or show emotion. sometimes she does break through, not from his self proclaimed "radiating charm", but while noticing how incredibly stupid he can be when trying to seduce her in the most weird ways.  hanyoung enjoys watching sooah in the practice rooms whenever possible, and as much as she denies it, sooah gets a spark of excitement and encouragement to do a little better than usual when hanyoung is in the room. he was always the one there whenever things got bad for sooah, coming to each and every one of her hospital visists to comfort her. she sneaks into his practices and teases him back on occasion. "it's not because i like him, i'm just paying him back. for being the only one that's acutally helped me.sooah refuses all relationship rumors from her friends and other trainees, one thing is for sure according to sooah : hanyoung + sooah (hansoo..) will never become a thing.
 likes  ) :
 lee hyori : highly influenced by hyori, probably as much as her own mother. she was the one that inspired sooah to become an idol. she also looks up to brown eyed girls and wonder girls.
 cats :  sooah enjoys petting and cooing at them whenever she sees one, especially kittens. if she had enough time and tolerance she'd probably have about 7 cats living with her right now.
 psychology : she's got a knack for observing and analyzing how people act and think, and sometimes buys college level books on it to read in her free time. as if sooah couldn't get more spy-girl on us.
 seafood :  how does she not get sick after eating so much raw fish?? she absolutely loves it, and will always order something seafood related on a menu.
 makeup
 :  she's got an entire corner of her dorm dedicated to makeup supplies and products. her collection is enough to supply the entire half of the trainee population for at least a month.
 cute underwear : her favorite part of any outfit, even though most of the time no one gets to see it. 'doesm't it make all girls feel powerful though?
 
 disLIKES  ) :
 colorful hair dye : she's had her hair a natural color her entire life, dying it dark brown or black at some points in her life but she thinks pink, red, blue, or whatever unhuman colored hair is highly unflattering. the wildest hair color you can probably put on her is blonde.
 aegyo : a classic pet peeve to anyone with sooah's personality. why is it nessicary to act dumb and cute to get people to like you? seeing other people do it makes her want to cringe while give you a 'pls stop' face.
 denim
 : the thinks jeans and anything of that material is ugly and uncomfortable. no matter how hard you try she refuses to wear denim.

 habits  ) :
 "honey", "babe", "sweetie" : whenever she's having an attitude or telling someone off, she adds these words at the end of almost every sentence.
 drinking water : staying hydrated is important! you'll always see sooah drinking out of her personalized black & pink colored water bottle with a stylized koi fish on it. she's got your back with extra mini plastic bottles in her bag, you know, just in case.
 smoking : how ironic. sooah is obsessed with beauty and care yet she has a smoking addiction! it started about a year ago and whenever she feels a stressed her first instinct going out privately to light a few. she wants to quit but sometimes theres no other outlet avaliable. she desperately doesn't want anyone knowing about it.
 checking herself
 :  makeup, posture, clothes, you name it. she can't stop fixing hair every 10 minutes or pulling out a mirror to see if anything is out of place.

 hobbies  ) :
 singing : what the hell is sooah doing at 6am in her personal surround system aka the shower? just take a guess
 working out : to balance out her bad smoking habit, she feels its appropriote to stay fit to keep her body in health. she goes to the gym at least 3 times a week and takes short jogs around the neighborhood sometimes.
 talking to plants
 : if she sees a pretty plant she'll stop by and kneel down to talk to it. aparently some petals and autotrophic abilities are enough to get sooah's attention quicker than being a human boy.
 trivia  ) :

 "this lazy furball of a feline is so disgusting and stupid but i love him..." : she has white male cat named smoky and let's say they have a love-hate relationship.

 "he doesn't bite, well, at least not at me." : sooah also has a pet snake named kitty, which she enjoys showing off and spooking her friends with.

 "it's just a cough, i swear." : sooah suffers from bronchitis, which affects her performance if she works herself too hard. her voice can get scratchy sometimes but she still pulls through. she is most affected after dancing for prolonged periods. she takes time to eat her medications daily.

 "where is my lotion?? do you all want me to turn old and ugly, like a raisin?!" : sooah can't live without lotion, if her face feels the slightest bit dry she gets a little paranoid...

 "don't forget to follow me on instagram" : she has one social network account, which is instagram @koisooah, where she posts simple non-edited daily pictures of friends, events, a good amount of selfies.

 "girl power!" : as an active and agressive feminist, she's is always ready to call out and destroy any boy that says something ist about her personal choices.

 "a soft soda, please." : she can't stand alcohol, the aftermaths of it are not worth dealing with, plus it's bad for the kidneys.

 "it's 2015 and she might be married with a kid but beyonce's single ladies is still a jam." : lots of thristy boys are always on sooah's manicured toes trying to ask her out but she's never had a boyfriend and she intends to keep it that way.

 "i kissed  a girl and i absolutely hated it." : you might as well call sooah aual at this point. lets just say in her hormonal adolescence years she might have pecked aerin on the lips. 'retreat!! this is my best friend we're talking about!' it was her first, only, and last kiss. things are still cool between them though, perhaps they're even closer because of it.

 "i'm not quiet. i'm thinking." : her worst pet peeve is when people ask her 'why are you so quiet??'. her classic response is looking at them dead in the eye and saying 'im thinking.' and tapping the side of her head 2 times with her finger. what is she thinking about? thats what makes her all the more mysterious and a little dangerous.

 PERSONALITY  ) : 
 positive : independent, loyal, elegant, mature.
 neutral : competitive, enigmatic, honest, perfectionistic.
 negative : narcissistic, devious, inexpressive, skeptical.

( ▽ being this good looking is hard work! ) introducing miss ko sooah, self proclaimed goddess of beauty and all things ethereal. with a flawless face and natural aura of grace, someone could very easily be encaptured by her presence. she acts and looks like as if she's a modern princess, and to some level she probably is. sooah is constantly checking posture and looking in a mirror to see if an eyebrow hair has been misplaced or if lipstick has been smudged. being drop dead gorgeous sure is high maintence. it's quite rediculous how obsessed with herself she is, and often reminds others "if aliens ever take over our subconsciousness one day, you'll only need to remember one thing: ko sooah is pretty as hell".

▽ ... i'm good. sooah seems as if she belongs in some prissy high school clique, as she can be seen as so pretty to the point of intimidation to some people. nah, you've got it wrong buddy. even since her school days, she's always been flying solo. sooah has never been one rely or feed off of another person's presence to be happy. she is very distant and reserved from talking very much to people. she often speaks in short and simplified sentences in a monotone voice if she truly does need to say something. "good job, you did well." "no, it's fine." "that seems fun." from her tone it may seem as if she's unintrested or sarcastic, but if you truly understand her you'd know when her words are genuine, even if it's not much. her expressions are also very minimalistic. it's quite difficult to predict what sooah is thinking or feeling, especially out towards the public, since she never shows much more emotion besides her one inexpressive yet enchanting natural gaze. even in times of utter peril she is the one to stay calm and reasonable, while keeping on her famous static expression, thinking of all the ways things could have gone wrong. she's well at handling bad situations with grace and maturity. this girl is keen to detail and very observant, explaining why she's so silent most of the time. with sooah's logic, we don't want more problems than we already do, am i right? 

▽ don't ever mess with me or my girls. the mind of ko sooah may seem a mystery to many, she is difficult to befriend in the first place from her cautious nature of who she wants to be close with, but if you somehow do earn her trust, she stays very loyal. she is very protective over close friends. need a person to set a certain ex-boyfriend on fire? ko sooah is your girl, without a doubt. this may not seem very likely with such a image, but she acts just like an overly attached kitten if she's comfortable enough with you. resting her head on your shoulder, zoning out to play with your hair or fingers when she's bored, and genuinely tries to comfort and support you even though she seems reluctant or awkward in certain situations, showing care through hugs or small phrases. 

▽ fake smiles don't get you anywhere, sweetie. ) as playful as it sounds sometimes, sooah truly doesn't want anyone forgetting about how beautiful she is, doing her best to immortalize herself in youth and elegance. this way of thinking causes sooah to be extremely self-centered in most cases. she feels happiest when being rewarded, and gets jealous easily when she isn't. she is obsessed with becoming the big number one. she is constantly trying to improve her skills, expecting no more than absolute perfection. sooah is highly competitive, and whenever she's given a task she does whatever she can to achieve the goal. "it's not that i have to win. i just don't like to lose." sooah is not out to destroy everyone, don't think of her as that sadistic. she simply wants to succeed like any other training idol, but constantly being the nice girl isn't the only to make it to the top. sometimes you've just got to give them the truth.
 
 
 BACKGROUND & TRAINEE LIFE  ) :

 birth - age 4 - 8ish ) sooah was born into the world of glamour and flashy lights before she even knew how to walk or speak. she was destined for fame and stardom ... well her and the tens of hundreds of other toddler beauty pageant girls in the city of incheon. her family wasn't even rich or high-class to any standard. she was born on july 14th of the year 1993, and lived a regular middle-class life in a classic three bedroom house. it wasn't until comments from her parent's friends that got the ball rolling for her. "she'll certainly be a star." "how cute! those are some good genes she's got." "why not try kiddie pageants?" a sign up for one pageant turned into two, two into three, and after significantly winning about 5 ametuer pageants in a row, her mother discovered she might be able to do this for a while, and tried a few higher level ones; however after that her father began getting quiet about her mother's descisions for their daughter. pageants practically turned into a mini lifestyle for a mini princess. she got a reasonable amount of money for her age group, plus a shelf-full of little trophies, traveled some to nearby cities, but she never got a "big break" or went on tv or anything like that. 

 age 9what does sooah think of all this? "it was fun. i learned a lot." she enjoyed dressing up, feeling pretty, and creating that ego that would stick with her until the present day, but truth is she only did pageants because her mother wanted her to, and she looked up to her. even then, she was always a silent kid, and just didn't feel right being put on full blast sometimes, especially on her bad days. at age 9, after 4 years of running, she confronted her parents and made a final decision to quit going to pageants. little did she know, sooah would have the burning intrest to get in front of the camera and claim her star reputation once again, but this time through becoming an idol.

 age 10 - 13 )  the next few years consisted of her studies in middle school, where she unlikely met one of her best friends and living a pretty average life. being little miss perfect, sooah was always at the top of her class, with high marks and often get praised by her teachers. this stirred some gossip towards her seemingly impossible grades; "she definately bribes the teachers with that pretty face of hers" "maybe she has a photographic memory, why else would she be that quiet? this is cheating!!" "i hate that sooah chick, thinking that she's all that. hmph!". at first sooah didn't mind it, and continued diligently doing her work for the most of it. soon enough, her tolerance was running out and began cursing out her bullies as backlash. sooah's outbursts got her in trouble with the school, and her parents certainly weren't happy about that. "why am i being teased for doing nothing wrong?"

▽ age 13 - 15 ) it was around this time at age 13 that sooah began having ideas of becoming an idol. why not? she had the face, hardworking spirit, and she'd convince herself that she was the best singer in her small choir ensemble class already. looking up to her current favorite girl bands and idols, she dedicated the next two years of her life practicing extra hard on her singing, dancing, and maybe a tad bit of messy rapping through the help of youtube videos "it's the cheapest and easiest way!", all while keeping her quiet during school and ignoring the tormentors to the best of her ability. she didn't tell anyone about her plans until she announced it on her 15th birthday when she felt like she was ready to her parents and aerin. she knew her mom would love hearing about these aspirations, but her dad however...not as much. she still told both them because it was her dream. she got her mothers and aerins encouragement, and that was enough to get her into a jyp audition, a few months after her big birthday announcement in the same year. she chose jyp because aiming high for one of the big 3 companies was a good choice to her, and because of the wonder girls' influence. it took a total of 3 tryouts over another full year before getting accepted in as a trainee at age 16.

▽ age 16 - present ) sacrfices she made to join the company included quitting public schooling after one year of high school to begin online 'home'schooling, packing her bags and moving to seoul to live in the jyp dorms, and leaving her parents, all on her own at age 16. the company's ideals for her to join the 'are you ready for it' project were strong,  as her vocals where already in gorgeous shape, and visual wise she didn't even need surgery (less money to spend!), sooah was put into training for the project just a few weeks after joining. she had a mysterious, competitive, and sightly dangerous reputation around the practice room atmosphere. other trainees just tended to stay away from her perameters, just because of her intimidating aura, no one dared to speak to her, and with sooahs personality, she didn't want to touch any of them either. an annoying fly called jung hanyoung was literally her only companion inside the company, and all their incredibly different schedules, they rarely got to see with each other. sooah also had her best friend aerin, but only getting to call her late at night when sooah got her freetime was not making things much easier. she had to go through most of it alone.

even with her kind of perserverance, sooah still was human, and she was constantly exausted from nonstop practices, expecially days when dancing was the priority. her father had warned her about her medical condition being a problem, but her mother told her that nothing was impossible. those two contradicting ideas stood in her head whenever things got bad. her bronchitis haunted her throughout the entire duration of being a trainee, she had past out a total of 7 times during practices, which dropped her out of the project 3 times putting her in the medical room inside jyp. one incident caused her to go to the emergency room in a nearby hospital. sooah always pulled through, pushing herself to improve and get back into the project every time she (literally) fell down, but all these events still caused sooah to miss a lot. gossip arose about how sooah will be kicked out of the project permanently for her own good. even some officals and trainers picked up on it and contemplated on her position as a trainee. hanyoung was the one to tell her all of this, which made her furious. sooah had already gone through so much, she wasn't letting this dumb sickness getting in her way. she forced herself to catch up and pass anyone's underestimations, she stayed late to give herself some extra practice, herself into physical overdrive. sleeping only a maximum of 3 hours on a good a night. she entered and left regular practice without a word, doing what she was told almost perfectly, leaving spectators astounded with her improvment in dancing and endurance. this kind of hard work led to her place in a final lineup in the project, set for debut, standing up there flipping her hair at all the people that didn't beleive in her powerful rise to success, setting aside all past hardships because she was just inches away from her big dream.
 my ultimate goal is to become queen of asia. 

 stage name  ) : koi.
 Position  ) : ( 1 ) main vocalist ( 2 ) lead vocal, lead rapper.
 dance twin : exid's hani.
 vocal twin : spica's bohyung.
 years trained  ) : a total of 4 years under jyp, since age 16.
 persona  ) : silent diva.

 strengths  ) : 
 vocals : the mitochondria of the upcoming girl group! it's easy to say that sooah is a powerhouse when it comes to singing. a full and powerful yet controlled and slightly husky voice makes a perfect lead to a sick jazz number or hard-hitting ballad.
 modeling
 : honestly, how can you not appear on magazines and runways with such admirable face?
 acting
 : she loves to play the role of the antogonist, i mean if you can be that mysterious and sly in reality, why not get paid to pretend also?
 
 weakness  ) : 
 variety shows : she doesn't put up much of a manually entertaining on-screen personality if you ask me. she'd probably just *looks into the main camera confused while telepathically asking viewers what the hell is happening*
 dance
 : she can follow along to simple moves and make it look good with practice, but don't expect her to be taking up an intensive hiphop dance solo anytime soon, she gets tired and lightheaded quicker than usual because of bronchitis.
 languages
 : sooah is the one to stand cluelessly in the back and nod and everything when someone else is speaking another language. she's also got a lisp when speaking languages other than korean, especially english, she's working on it though!

 wishes  ) : she would love to build a modeling or acting career once she debuts, and hopefully even her own sort of fashion or makeup brand. her goal at the moment is to become the "face" of the girl group. she also would love more than anything to meet lee hyori.
 is english your first language?

▽ sooah starts getting pissed at this one rookie trainee kid and begins telling them off in their faces oh
▽ probably after that scene above sooah goes out to let off some steam and hanyoung stalks follows her without her knowing and discovers her smoking secret!!! "don't tell anyone about this or i'll chop ur head off"
