PERSONALITY
TRAITS : PERFECTIONIST, PASSIONATE, PLAYFUL, ABSENT MINDED, OBSESSIVE
PERSONALITY : SOME WONDER IF DAHYUN IS ACTUALLY LISTENING TO THE THINGS THEY'RE TELLING HER OR IF SHE'S ZONING OUT. SHE WALKS AROUND WITH A DISTANT SMILE ON HER FACE, BECAUSE OF HER INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE AND HER ONE TACK MIND SHE'S ALWAYS DRIFTING OFF INTO HER OWN LITTLE WORLD. SHE'S BUBBLY AND NEVER SEEMS TO TAKE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY, THROWING HER HEAD BACK LAUGHING WHETHER THE JOKE WAS FUNNY OR NOT. AT FIRST GLANCE, YOU'D EXPECT HER TO BE CALM AND GENTLE, NOT PLAYFUL AND A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY. SHE IS ALSO QUITE FLIRTY AND PLAYFUL, SAYING SHAMELESS AND SLIGHTLY ERTED THINGS IN ORDER TO GET REACTIONS OUT OF EVERYONE. SHE IS QUITE EASY GOING, ALWAYS JUST GOING WITH THE FLOW AND NEVER REALLY PUTTING MUCH EFFORT INTO EVERYTHING SHE'S DOING. SOME WOULD MISTAKE HER FOR BEING LAZY BUT IT'S ACTUALLY BECUASE SHE HATES CONFRONTATION AND CONFLICT AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO ESCAPE IT, BUT SHE IS SEEN AS THE MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN TWO PARTIES AND WHEN PEOPLE IN HER GROUP ARE ARGUING BECAUSE SHE IS ABLE TO SEE FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES BECAUSE OF HER COMPASSIONATE NATURE. SHE IS ALSO QUITE THE PEOPLE PLEASER, WHO SEEMS TO PUT OTHER PEOPLE'S EMOTIONS BEFORE HER OWN AND FORGETS HERSELF AND REALLY CAN'T SAY NO TO PEOPLE. SHE DOESN'T LIKE GOING OUT MUCH AND HER LIFE BASICALLY CONSISTS OF EATING, SLEEPING AND SINGING BUT THAT'S THE WAY SHE LIKES IT. SHE'S SUCH A LAZY . CHANGE IS ALSO NOT HER THING, SHE LIKES EVERYTHING BALANCED AND CONSTANT. STABILITY IS WHAT SHE THRIVES ON, WHICH IS WHY IF SHE MEETS A NEW UNFAMILIAR PERSON, SHE WOULD GO RUNNING FOR THE HILLS. IT TAKES A WHILE FOR HER TO STOP BEING SO SHY AND AWKWARD AND STOP HIDING BEHIND HER OTHER MEMBERS BEFORE SHE CAN ACTUALLY BECOME FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE. PEOPLE ALSO TEND TO THINK OF HER AS INDECISIVE BECAUSE SHE TAKES A LONG TIME IN MAKING DECISIONS. SHE THINKS OVER ALL THE PROS AND CONS OF HER OPTIONS AGAIN AND AGAIN BECAUSE SHE IS SCARED THAT IF SHE PICKS THE WRONG DECISION, EVERYTHING SHE'S EVER WORKED FOR WILL COME CRASHING DOWN. SHE HATES BEING RUSHED OR RESTRICTED AND IN INTERVIEWS, SHE IS ALWAYS SINCERE AND HONEST. WHEN BEING CONTROLLED BY THE STAFF TO SAY AND DO THINGS SHE DOESN'T WANT TO, SHE WILL HATE IT SO MUCH BUT WILL GO ALONG BECUASE IF SHE DOESN'T SHE COULD RISK BRINGING HER ENTIRE TEAM DOWN WITH HER.

HOWEVER, EVERYTHING CHANGES WHEN SHE GETS ON STAGE ON STAGE. THE PLAYFUL SPARKLE IN HER EYES WILL SWAP FOR ONE OF CONCENTRATION AND DETERMINATION. THE TRUTH IS SHE'S NEVER HAD AN AFFINITY FOR STUDIES OR ANYTHING ELSE. SHE WON'T WORK HARD AND CONCENTRATE UNLESS SHE'S DOING SOMETHING SHE LIKES. IF YOU FORCE HER TO DO SOMETHING SHE HATES, SHE'LL ONLY HATE IT (AND YOU) THE MORE YOU TRY TO FORCE HER. WHEN IT COMES TO SINGING SHE'S HARDWORKING AND PASSOINATE; SINGING IS ALL SHE'S EVER HAD. SHE WATCHES OVER HER MEMBERS AS WELL AS WORKING ON IMPROVING HERSELF BECASE SHE BELIEVES THEY'LL GO ON FOR A LONG TIME AND THAT THEY'RE FAMILY DESPITE THE DISPUTES THAT THEY MAY HAVE AND SHE LOVES EVERY SINGLE MEMBER. SHE'S METICULOUS AND ALWAYS POINTS OUT WHAT TO DO OR CORRECTS THEM IF THEY GO WRONG, THIS CAN SOMETIMES ANNOY OR ANGER HER TEAMMATES BUT SHE ONLY MEANS WELL. SHE'S NOT THE BEST AT DANCING BUT SHE ENJOYS IT. SHE'S GOT A VERY ELEGANT - KIND OF LIKE BALLET - WAY OF MOVING WHEN SHE DANCES. SHE'S ALWAYS STRIVING TO MAKE HERSELF AND HER TEAM BETTER - IN A WAY SHE IS A PERFECTIONIST - EVEN IF IT MEANS PICKING ON THE TINIEST OF DETAILS. HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD NEVER DISTURB HER WHEN SHE'S INTO SOMETHING OTHERWISE SHE'LL SNAP AND GET IN A BAD MOOD, SHE WILL KEEP GOING AT IT THOUGH, EVEN IF SHE WAS IN A MEETING, SHE WOULD DO IT QUICKLY IN THE LITTLE GAPS I BETWEEN CONVESATION AND EVEN IF THE ENTIRE WORLD WAS FALLING APART, SHE WOULD STILL CARRY ON WRITING SONGS. . NO MATTER HOW MUCH SHE SINGS, IT'LL NEVER BE ENOUGH TO SATISFY HER AND SHE WANTS TO BE SINGING EVERY SECOND OF THE SAY. SHE DOESN'T MEAN TO BE A BUT IF SOMEONE CAN'T DANCE OR SING VERY WELL OR IS SLIGHTLY HALF HEARTED ABUOT IT, SHE'LL GET IN A BAD MOOD. EVERYONE ELSE IS WORKING HARD, WHY CAN'T THEY? IT IS ONLY IN THIS TIME THAT SHE WILL SPEAK UP AND CONFRONT THEM, SHE HATES INJUSTICE AND IT'S NOT FAIR TO EVEYRONE ELSE WHO WORKS HARD IS ONE PERSON IS NOT PULLING THEIR WEIGHT. THIS WORKS VICE VERSA AS SHE NEVER WANTS TO DRAG DOWN HER TEAM OR DISAPPOINT ANYONE. SHE WILL USUALLY SELF LOATH OR FEEL LIKE IF SHE WAS TO CREATE A SCANDAL OR GO OFF TUNE DURING A PREFORMANCE. SHE HAS TROUBLE SAYING HER INNER FEELINGS AND HOW SHE FEELS BUT THIS TRANSLATES INTO HER SINGING, WHICH HELPS HER SING WITH MORE EMOTIONS. BUT SOMETIMES ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. ONCE SHE CRACKS, THERE'S NO WINNING IN AN ARGUMENT AGAIST HER. SHE DOES SO MUCH FOR OTHER PEOPLE, SHE CAN AT LEAST HAVE ONE MOMENT TO BLOW UP, RIGHT?
LIKES & DISLIKES : LIKES: THE COLD (IT MAKES HER FEEL MORE ALIVE), MANGOS (FAVOURITE FRUIT), BUBBLE TEA, MANGO BUBBLE TEA, THE FILM POCAHONTAS, ACTION FILMS, THE COLOUR RED (IT'S JUST HER COLOUR, DON'T QUESTION IT AND DON'T TAKE THAT RED OUTFIT, IT'S HERS). DISLIKES: BEING BORED, HALF HEARTED PEOPLE, BEING IN PHYSICAL PAIN, GHOST STORIES (SHE'S EASILY PARANOID), SILENCE AND BEING OVERHEATED (BECAUSE HOW SUFFOCATING IS THAT?)
BACKGROUND STORY : HER FATHER IS A DOCTOR AND HER MOTHER A COLLEGE PROFESSOR. SHE ALWAYS HAD SO MUCH PRESSURE ON HER TO BECOME AS GREAT AS THEM AND ALWAYS TRIED TO STUDY HARD FOR THEM BUT SHE REALISED SHE COUDLN'T HAVE CARED LESS ABOUT PHYSICS AND GEOGRAPHY AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY TORTURED HER WITH. HER MIDDLE SCHOOL MUSIC TEACHER INTRODUCED HER TO SINGING AND SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. SHE'D NEVER REALLY TOLD HER PARENTS THAT SHE WANTED TO BECOME A SINGER BECAUSE THEY WERE ALWAYS PRESSURING HER TO BECOME A DOCTOR OR SOMETHING, EVEN IF SHE'D TALK ABOUT MUSIC OR HER SINGING, THEY'D ALWAYS TELL HER IT WAS JUST A HOBBY AND COULD NEVER BE A CAREER. THEY NEVER ONCE CAME TO ANY OF HER SCHOOL CONCERTS OR PLAYS EVEN IF SHE BEGGED THEM AND SHE SOON STOPPED TRYING TO GET THEM TO ACCEPT IT. IN HIGH SCHOOL, SHE MET CHANYEOL WHO WAS IN HER CLASS AND A TRAINEE AT THE TIME AND OBSESSED WITH MUSIC. HE HELPED HER IMPROVE AND CHEERED HER ON AND THEY BECAME BEST FRIENDS. WITH HIS HELP, SHE SNUCK AWAY AND AUDITIONED FOR SM BEHIND HER FAMILY'S BACK WHEN SHE WAS 15 (2010). WHEN SHE GOT ACCEPTED, THEY WERE REALLY AGAINST IT BUT SHE INSISTED THIS IS WHAT SHE WANTED TO DO AND THREATENED TO RUN AWAY. HER PARENTS LET HER BECOME A TRAINEE BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT, "SHE'LL COME BACK TO HER SENSES SOON." EVEN TO THIS DAY, HER PARENTS ARE STRONGLY AGAINST IT, EVEN GOING AS FAR AS SENDING HER BROCHURES FOR COLLEGES AND MEDICAL SCHOOLS THROUGH THE MAIL. SOMETIMES THEY'D DENY AND COMPLETELY DISREGARD THE FACT THAT SHE'S GOING TO DO MUSIC. EVERYTIME THEY TALK ON THE PHONE, THEY'RE TELLING HER TO QUIT. THIS EFFECTS DAHYUN MORE THAN SHE LETS ON - NOT THAT SHE WILL LET IT ON AT ALL - BUT SHE CARRIES ON AS NORMAL. LATER SHE DECIDED TO SWITCH TO YG (MIDDLE OF 2013) BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO IMPROVE AND FOCUS ON HER SONGWRITING. THIS IS WHY SHE IS USUALLY DESCRIBED AS 'NOT REALLY BEING YG'S STYLE.'
HOBBIES : SINGING OR SONGWRITING; IT'S ALL HER LIFE BASICALLY IS.
HABITS :SHE PLAYS WITH HER FOOD, HUMS TO HERSELF WHEN IT'S SILENT, ABUSES HER LIPS (PEELING, , BITING ETC) 24/7 FOR NO REASON AND COVERS HER FACE WHEN SHE LAUGHS WITH HER HANDS, HAIR, ANYTHING. WHEN SHE'S NERVOUS OR FLUSTERED SHE WILL FIDDLE WITH HER FINGERS AND RUB HER WRIST BONE WHERE HER SCAR IS BECAUSE IT REMINDS HER SHE'S ALIVE AND NOT DREAMING. 
WEAKNESSES / FEARS : SHE'S SCARED OF DIAPPOINTING PEOPLE AND LETTING PEOPLE DOWN, THIS HAS BEEN EVER SINCE SHE WAS YOUNGER BECAUSE HER PARENTS ALWAYS PUT SO MUCH PRESSURE ON HER AND SHE FELT LIKE SHE OWED IT TO THEM TO LISTEN TO THEIR WISHES. SHE IS SCARED OF BLOOD BECAUSE OF HER ACCIDENT WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER. 
TRIVIAS : SHE IS A PICKY EATER, EATS SKITTLES BY COLOUR (RED LAST BECAUSE THEY'RE HER FAVOURITE AND HAS TO ALWAYS HAVE EVEN NUMBERS SURROUNDING HER, WHETHER IT BE IN THE AMOUNT OF FRIES SHE EATS OF THE VOLUME ON HER HEADPHONES. WHEN SHE LIKES SOMETHING SHE WILL SURELY GET OBSESSED. WHENEVER SHE SONGWRITES, MOST OF HER SONGS ARE ABOUT ONE SIDED LOVE OR DEPRESSING - "BUT SHE'S SO HAPPY ALL THE TIME...?" - AND WILL ALWAYS BE ABOUT HER FIRST LOVE. DOESN'T CRY OR FALL SICK EASILY AND SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WHEN SHE DOES. WHEN SHE'S IN THE CAR, SHE WON'T SPEAK AND WILL JUST REST HER HEAD AGAINST THE WINDOW (ALWAYS HAS TO BE BY A WINDOW) WHILE LISTENING TO MUSIC (ALWAYS HAS TO LISTEN TO MUSIC OR SHE WILL BE CARSICK) AND THE MUSIC SHE LISTENS TO (SAD SONGS WHEN SHE'S HAPPY, EVEN SADDER SONGS WHEN SHE'S SAD) WILL ALWAYS AFFECT HER MOOD AND SHE WILL BE ANGSTY FOR A WHILE. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER?" SHE BREAKS UP SANDWICHES INTO LITTLE BITS BEFORE EATING. HER LEG SHAKES EVERYTIME SHE SITS. LOVES EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ASTROLOGY AND TAROT CARDS. DOESN'T CARE MUCH WHEN PEOPLE QUESTION WHY SHE'S IN YG BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T CARE MUCH FOR THINGS LIKE 'SWAG' AND WHATNOT. CAN'T PLAY PIANO FOR DESPITE LEARNING IT FOR LIKE 2 YEARS. MULTITASKING IS HELL SO SHE CAN'T PLAY AN INSTRUMENT AND SING AT THE SAME TIME. 

RELATIONSHIPS
FATHER | KANG HO DONG | 40 | ACTIVE
HE IS QUITE STOIC AND DISTANT FROM HIS DAUGHTER BECAUSE HE'S A WORKAHOLIC AND ALWAYS AT WORK. HE DECIDES IF SHE'S HAPPY DOING MUSIC, SO IS HE BUT HE IS TOO EASILY INFLUENCED BY HIS WIFE AND IS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE HIS FEELINGS IN GENERAL. 
MOTHER | KWON YURA | 45 | ACTIVE
SHE IS REALLY AGAINST HER DAUGHTER BEING A SINGER, SHE DOESN'T THINK IT'S A GOOD CAREER PATH AND REALLY WANTS HER TO BE A DOCTOR - MOSTLY SO SHE CAN SHOW HER OFF - SHE IS QUITE MATERIALISTIC AND ALWAYS HAS THE LATEST BAGS AND WHATNOT. SHE HAS BASICALLY DISOWNED HER DAUGHTER - SAYS HER PRIDE, WHEN IN REALITY, DAHYUN CUT OFF TIES WITH HER FIRST. 
 

IDOL FRIEND | IRENE (BAE JOOHYUN) | 23 | RED VELVET

LOVE INTEREST
LOVE INTEREST : PARK CHANYEOL || EXO.
AGE : 22
PERSONALITY :HE;S ONE BALL OF SUNSHINE.BUT WITH FAME COMES THE PRESSURE OF ALWAYS HAVING TO LIVE UP TO EXPECTATOINS. IF HE'S SHOUTED AT DURING PRACTICE OR JUST CRITISED IN GENERAL, HE'LL WALLOW IN SELF HATE AND POUT WHILE TRYING TO THINK OF WAYS TO IMPROVE HIMSELF. HE HATES IT THE MOST WHEN HE COMES TO DETEST WHAT HE USED TO LOVE SO MUCH BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE, MUSIC IS BECOMING LIKE A CHORE TO HIM. SINCE HE'S AN IDOL HE'S BOUND TO BE A LITTLE COCKY AND ISN'T VERY GROUNDED. HE'S GOT HIS HEAD UP IN THE CLOUDS AND IS BLINDED BY THE BRIGHT STAGE LIGHTS, ALWAYS STRIVING TOWARDS PERFECTION. HE HATES FEELING UNIMPORTANT AND IS ALWAYS CRAVING ATTENTION. HE HATES WHEN PEOPLE TOUCH WHAT HE DEEMS 'HIS'. HE'S A FREE SPIRIT WHO CAN DRAG HIS HEELS QUITE HARD. HE'S CONFIDENT AND FLIRTY AND NEVER LEAVES ANYTHING HALF FINISHED. HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS TO DO TO GET WHAT HE WANTS AND IS WILLING TO GET A LITTLE MANIPULATIVE IF IT SPEEDS UP THE PROCESS. HOWEVER, HE'S EXTREMELY SOFT HEARTED AND LOYAL AND WOUL DDO ANYTHING TO PUT A SMILE ON THE FACES OF THOSE HE LOVES.
HOW YOU MET : TRAINED TOGETHER IN SM. SHE WAS ALONE IN THE TRAINING ROOM CRYING AND HE WALKED PAST AND DECIDED TO COMFORT HER, DESPITE NOT REALLY KNOWING HER. THEY BECAME CLOSE AND ATTCHED TO EACH TOEHR AND BECAME BEST FRIENDS, HOWEVER SHE DEVELOPED A CRUSH ON HIM BUT IT SOON SEEMED TO BE FUTILE SEEING AS HE WAS GOING TO DEBUT SOON, SHE THOUGHT HE WAS OUT OF HER LEAGUE AND WOULD NEVER GO OUT WITH HER. HE IS THE FIRST LOVE WHO IS ALWAYS THE MAIN TOPIC OF HER SONGS. THEY DRIFTED APART WHEN SHE MOVED TO YG AND HE GOT MORE AND MORE POPULAR, THOUGH STILL SENT EACH OTHER SHORT TEXTS ON BIRTHDAYS AND WHATNOT. WHEN SHE WAS ANNOUNCED TO BE IN ONE OF THE GROUPS FOR THE COMPETITION, CHANYEOL SUDDENLY STORMS BACK INTO HER LIFE WITH TEXTS OF SUPPORT AND "PLEASE CALL ME BACK I MISS YOU." 
INTERACTIONS :IF SHE EVER NEEDS HELP OR IS UPSET, SHE WILL CALL HIM AND HE WILL COME RUNNING TO HER. HE SEES HER AS SOMEONE DIFFERENT BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY WILL ONLY BE IN IT FOR THE FAME AND GLAMOUR BUT SHE HAS SO MUCH TALENT AND PASSION, HE WANTS TO PROTECT IT SO SHE DOESN'T COME TO RESENT IT ONE DAY LIKE HE DOES.THEY LIKE MESSING AROUND AND HE HAS A THING FOR TESING HER. HE IS OVERLY AFFECTIONATE AND THEY FLIRT OPENLY AND UNABASHEDLY BUT SHE RETURNS IT TENFOLD. THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE FOR EACH OTHER AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER NO MATTER HOW. BAD SCANDALS MAY COME OUT ABOUT CHANYEOL BUT DAHYUN WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE HIM AND STAND BY HIS SIDE. WHENEVER HE STARTS HATING MUSIC AND REGRETS EVER CHOOSING HIS CAREER PATH, HE THINKS OF HER WHO BRING SHIM BACK TO EARTH, IT'S IN THESE MOMENTS HE'LL THINK HE'LL GO INSANE AND THINKS SHE'S ALL HE HAS LEFT. HENCE THE REASON WHY HE CALLS HER 'DA-YAH'. EVEN AFTER HER DEBUT EVERYONE KNOWS THEM AS BEST FRIENDS AND THEY DON'T MIND WHO'SE WATCHING OR HOW MANY EYEBROWS ARE RAISED AT THEIR OVERLY FRIENDLY FRIENDSHIP. HE LIKES TAKING HER OUT TO THE AQUARIUM/AMUSEMENT PARK/ DINNER/TO GET BUBBLE TEA, WHATEVER, HE'LL EVEN COME OVER TO HER DORM WHEN SHE'S TOO LAZY. "IT'S NOT A DATE...UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO BE."
