Background: Woolim was born on August 17, 1995 in Busan, South Korea, where she lived for almost her entire life. As a child, Woolim was always very active and hyper so her parents put her in dance classes so she'd get some of her energy out each day. This is where Woolim fell in love with dancing and met her best friend, Yoojin. Even after her dance classes, her parents would always her her in her room dancing to whatever song was on at the time. It didn't take her long to start learning the dances she would see kpop idols do on T.V. and when she started learning those, she decided that she wanted to be an idol one day. Woolim auditioned for SM Entertainment three times before they finally accepted her, but she knew she didn't want to go anywhere else than SM since she wanted to be under the same company as SHINee, Super Junior, and TVXQ, her favorite groups.

Trainee life: Woolim became a trainee in 2008. At first everything was hard. In dance she'd be used as an example for her excellent skills and in singing she's be ridiculed by the instructors for her terrible singing voice. As time went of she made many friends, which helped her with her skills and she improved. Woolim was quick to make friends, but she slowly watched all of them move on and debut without her, until it was only her a Johnny left. She comforted Johnny when he failed to debut in EXO and he did the same after she was cut from the final line up of Red Velvet, SM saying she didn't fit the group's red concepts. When Woolim heard of Blue Moon and the way SM was picking the girls, she knew she had to get into the group, it was her last shot, so when she failed to be the first girl to debut, she thought she was done for, but then she won the second debut spot and finally debuted.
pre-debut:
- sm rookies ; 2013
- red velvet happiness mv ; 2014
- Keeping your head up (dance w/ woojin) ; 2017
Scandals/headlines:
will sm rookie member woolim be part of SM's new girl group?
being that woolim had tranied the longest out of all the rookie members, there were lots of rumors going around as to weather or not she would actually debut. some comments were bad saying things like she was too old, but many were hopeful that she would debut.
Sm rookie member kang woolim is finally debuting?
when the first teaser picture was released, teasing who the seond member of the girl group would be, many fans were qucik to try and figure out who it was, many saying it was woolim from what they could see of her face.
Blue moon's woolim and NCT's johnny dating?
this came out before the two even started dating. The two of them had been super cloe and many fans were quick to think that they were dating. SM denied the rumors for a while, but when they actually started ot date a few years later, they came out as a couple pretty quickly.
Johnny is a funny person, he's always cracking jokes and knows exactly what to do to make someone laugh. But he's much ore than just someone whose funny, he's also super kind and caring and hard working and Woolim, watching him grow from a fresh faced trainee to a full blown idol, she feels like she knows a lot more a bout what makes him tick and the little complicated things that not everyone gets to see everyday.
Johnny and woolim both joined the company at the same time, so it was inevitable that they would become firends. They were close and hung out in the same circle, but were never super close until all of their other frineds debuted, leaving all of them behind. The two started to talk more and more, bcecoming attached at the hip, though woolim never realised that all of those years they were never super close was because johny had a massive crush on her. He was good at hiding it though, or woolim was just really olbivous, they may never actaully know. The only time it was somewhat notcieable was when woolim started to date another trainee right after she found out she was cut from the red velvet line up. Johnny was jealous and distanced himself from her, but woolim never fully understood why. From the time they were introduced in sm rookies, the fans shipped them. in every video where they were in it together there woere tons of comments, but woolim never fully looked at those. It wasn't until they debuted and her first episode of Blue moon cast showed johnny and all of teh fans freaked out again after not seeing them together for so long. Readng all of the comments woolim started to look back at the videos with all of them and realized that she didn't look at johnny like a friend. Realization hit woolim hard and she was stargly awkward around johnny, barely looking at him in public. Johnny evetually get fed up with her avoidng him and askes her what's wrong. Woolim bluts out that she realzied that she likes him, but she can't do anything about it becuase the blue moon is debuting soon and she needs to foucs on that. Johnny tells her that he undersantd and he likes her too, but they decide to wait until woolim's career settles before they start anything seroius.
ending: the two of them act like a couple without actually being one for a while and every time a suspison pops up, its played off like theya re just best friends. evetually they decide " it" (johnny's words not woolim's) and actually get together.
status: best friends

Hello, I'm blue moon's tiny leader Woolim!
I love the concept of our group, I think it let's every member have a chance to shine and show thier true capablities!
when i was little I started to learn teh dances for popular groups at the time and I think that that really pushed me to be an idol.
My biggest insperation, and it might sound super cheesy, is propably NCT's Johnny. Me and Johnny joined the comapny at the same time and trainned together for years and through that time he always psuehd me harder and taught me to never give up, so I'd say he inspired me a lot.
I want blue moon to be a group that people can reconginze from just hearing a song. I want us to make a difference for people and have a sound that people can look at and tell is ours.
