by neon-rainbows ()

appearance

— i got that red lip classic thing that you like

face claim — Jin Jaeyoung
back up — Yeon Aru

height — 167 cm
weight — 57 kg

there isn't much of a difference between yerin and her faceclaim. yerin's hair changes a lot, mainly because she gets bored with the same hair style very quickly. yerin also has very thick lips, that she doesn't much like because she got teased a lot as a kid for them. on the other hand, yerin has thick eyebrows and long eyelashes.

fashion style

— cause darling i'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

as stated previously, yerin has a great interest in the japanese fashion. to put her fashion in a statement, 'pastel kawaii grunge' is what she calls it. because of her fashion, and very unconventional looks, she easily stands out in a crowd. she usually takes a lot of time to figure out what she's going to wear, because a lot of her items are very unique and only match with certain outfits. her only problem with this is that she owns no formal dresses, mainly because a.) she doesn't think any event is too formal for skull print and b.) her fashion choices limit that.

   

personality

— i'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world

+ ADAPTABLE
Yerin doesn't have much of a problem changing when she feels necessary. Most people say that she's a great person to take to a new place, because she's up for anything and everything. Whenever under pressure, she can get herself out of the problem with ease and a little bit of cursing. Despite how unique her style is, She can change temporarily to fit a concept. Of course, It won't be forever and she understands that, so she can pretty much rock anything and make the best of it. 
+ ACCEPTING
Not many things bother Yerin. She isn't naive, but she can easily understand someone's situation. They're gay? That's fine with Yerin, it isn't her business. They want to go to college? Fine, getting a higher education is great. They want to be a stripper? Go ahead. Make that money. Yerin's response to things is often, "Yeah, sure. That's fine". Yerin's spent her entire life being judged and definitely doesn't have the will to judge others.
+ IMAGINATIVE
Besides her fashion choices, anyone close to Yerin knows of her imaginative behavior. She's a little more on the philisophical side at times, often asking, 'What if we do this instead of that? This will give better results in the long run'. In her spare time, Yerin likes to write out her thoughts, often in the form of a song for the group to use. 
+ DEVOTED
When Yerin loves something or someone, she loves them. She will definitely but others before herself, often referred to as 'Kim Therapist' even. If she can't give an answer to it, She will definitely be available to listen and give small inputs. Yerin's committed to what she does, being a trainee, and she loves it. Sure, there are hard times, but Yerin likes to work hard. Because she likes the payoff.

+ INDECISIVE
Although you could take Yerin places because she's up for anything, A main problem tends to be getting her to chose. She can't ever chose on something specific, because she's always wondering if she'll regret it later. Often times, especially when asked 'What do you want to eat?', her answer is 'I don't know. You chose, I'll eat it.
+ SELF-PITYING
Yerin will never understand that she's wrong in a situation. She always plays the victim, whenever in an argument, she assumes everyone's attacking her and goes on the defense. Often times, She'll throw her own insecurities in the face of the latter, "Oh, you're only saying that because you think I'm weird and want to get me to change, I'm not going to change for you". Yerin almost never apologizes, because of this, because she never sees where she's in the wrong. It takes a lot of convincing to do so.
+ PESSIMISTIC
Yerin would never call herself pessimistic, but it's indeed a fact. If things are going well,  You'll never see this side of her. If the slightest thing goes wrong, the world has ended for her. "Oh, man! Now I'll never get this". Nine times out of ten, she's wrong and it comes around eventually but Yerin's always doubting herself. She hides this by working hard, but there's always a voice nagging her in the back of her head, saying that she'll run out of luck soon.
+ LACKS INITIATIVE 
Unless someone tells her to do it or does it for her, Yerin won't do it. She was often scolded as a child by her mother for not cleaning something and her response was always "You didn't tell me to do it, so I didn't". Yerin has said herself, she would be a terrible leader for the simple fact that she would forget to do something, therefore not tell the rest of the group and everything falls apart.

background

— because these things will change, can you feel it now?

+ BIRTH
Yerin was born March 20th, 1994 accidentally. Her parents weren't really aiming to have children. As a child, Yerin could remember spending a lot of time with her father instead of her mother, and upon asking her father when she got older, He assumed that she was working. Yerin's mother was indeed a workaholic, anything but a typical housewife but Yerin's father soon found out that she was cheating on him with someone with a lot more money. Soon enough,  Yerin's mother left him alone with Yerin.
+ CHILDHOOD
Around Yerin's toddler years, she could remember always getting into trouble. She would often break things, get into fights with other children in Pre-K, and her father didn't really do much about it. For a while, He didn't do much about anything. He was still distraught and sad over his highschool sweetheart leaving him for someone else. As Yerin grew older, She slowly began to understand the stress she was giving him and slowed down. Life was easier for the both of them, and around Yerin's first year in high school, her father found another woman to make him happy. Yerin was fine with this, the woman was very nice and supportive of what Yerin wanted to do and when Yerin graduated, the two got married.
+ PRE-TRAINEE
Yerin's plan on being an idol revolved a lot around singing. She did enjoy dancing, but often thought her dancing looked clunky because of her long legs. Yerin's step-mother helped her out with preparing her to be an idol, helping her round her voice out and even helping her round out her dance skills. Unfortunately, Her step-mother couldn't be around as much as she wanted, because she ended up getting pregant with Yerin's younger sister. For about a year, Yerin slowed down on her pursuit of the idol life, waiting until the birth of her younger sister. Yerin had already been a fan of Bangtan Boys and very much respected the bands under BigHit, so when they began scouting for talent, Yerin's step mother took her to the building to audition, and she was accepted as a trainee.

friends

— i had the time of my life fighting dragons with you

Best friend — Nakajima Kei // 22 // College Student // Sarcastic, cynical, sometimes playful // These two met over Twitter. After the graduation of Morning Musume member, Takahashi Ai, Morning Musume fans compiled videos for a tribute and Kei contacted Yerin after finding out she not only liked Morning Musume, but also liked KyaryPamyuPamyu. They became friends and even closer friends when Kei transferred to Korea for his studies. The two don't see each other often, mainly because he's studying engineering and Yerin's in the process of becoming an idol, but they text, call and face time very often.

close friend — Kim Taehyung // 20 // Idol // Childish, Immature, Weird // Taehyung became friends with Yerin through a technicality, really. Taehyung loves children, and when he saw Yeeun in the practice room, he fell in love with her essentially. Yerin befriended him soon after that, because he was a little weird and Yerin enjoys weird. Also, He takes care of Yeeun like his own, she respects that.

close friend — Im Jaebum // 20 // Idol // Chic and stoic, Playful around people he knows personally, Trustworthy // Yerin met JB through Taehyung essentially. After BTS and Got7 did their stage together, a few of Got7's members came to the BigHit building to say hi and while everyone else has stated they were initially afraid of JB, Yerin was very interested in him and why he seemed so serious. Jaebum likes to tease Yerin for her clothing and hair styles, and Yerin teases him just as much. They treat each other like older brother and younger sister.

others

— everything will be alright if you keep me next to you

Sunbae — Kim Namjoon // 20 // Idol // Comes off as serious and intimidating, acts like a child at times // Yerin had great respect for the group of Bangtan Boys, specifically Rap Monster. She looks up to him the most in the company, and goes to him often for advice on dealing with trainee life.

lead vocalist, visual

— "don't do things to people that you wouldn't want for people to do to you"

stage name — it's okay to use her real name, scratch this out if none. if will use a stage name, explain why she chose that to be her stage name.

audition story — Yerin was lucky in that the first company she auditioned for accepted her. She felt that BigHit had what she wanted in a career, a good balance of creative freedom. She audtioned with her rendition(?) of Park Bom's 'You and I', and a dance to BTS' 'Danger' and was accepted. Bang PD told her that he was interested in her style, both physically and personality-wise and wanted to know what she could do with her talents.

trainee life — Yerin trained for 3 years under BigHit and her trainee life was hard, but not anything that she could complain about. Most of her hardships dealt with her self image and how she dealt with things. Yerin, as stated before, often blames herself for things and thinks the worst of the world. Whenever things would go wrong, she would sit in a corner and stare into space, thinking until she willed herself to get up and try again. She would often ask Namjoon for support, and if not him, Kei would give her support as well.

the reason — Yerin wanted to join the project because she wanted to make a name for herself in a way. BigHit Entertainment wasn't a huge company, although JYP was. Being a new group,  She felt she had the chance to make it big and show the world what BigHit trainees could do. Obviously, BangPD hit gold with Bangtan Boys and Yerin didn't want to let him down.

jACKSON WANG

— got7's jb

personality — Jackson has an interchangeable personality. He looks to be very serious, calm and collected, but his actual personality is extremely different. He's very playful with his friends and loved ones, he treats his family like they're royalty. He enjoys talking to others, and is known for his very loud laugh and he can easily get someone out of a funk just by talking to them. 

relationship — The two are very close friends. They know each other through JB and Yerin finds Jackson's personality to be infectious. She really enjoys being around him, hanging out with him, because it's always a fun time. Jackson considers her a good friend, they have each other's number and will often text each other funny pictures they found on the internet. Yerin isn't really sure if she has a crush on him, or if she's just attracted to how well he treats his friends, but both of them have acknowledged that they find each other attractive.

history — Jackson would always wonder who this 'Yerin' person JB was texting and sent a text to her pretending to be JB. JB caught him, and apologized to Yerin but Jackson wanted to meet her after that, finding that she was a pretty funny girl. JB told Jackson about Yerin and how she was a BigHit trainee, and JB got the two to meet on one of Got7's off days.

interactions — Yerin and Jackson play around with each other a lot. They text each other almost daily, a lot of their conversations not even being a 'conversation', but just a funny picture and a "LOL". Jackson rarely ever calls Yerin by her name, he calls her 'Rinnie-ah', or simply 'Rinnie'. Whenever they're around each other, they essentially spend their time telling jokes to each other. They give each other a lot of skinship as well.
