♫ BERRI BELL'S EUNJI DREAMS OF RISING HIGH
Because of her unit's image, she's used to be put in cutesy dresses and bows when promoting. It can be a little difficult to dress her because of her age as well, with the stylists not wanting to reveal too much skin but also not wanting her to look too young compared to the other members. Her personal opinion? She actually doesn't mind tank tops or shorts, it's actually easier to dance in on stage and not become drenched in sweat.
Did you say "jean material" because that's literally 75% of Eunji's closet. Jean jackets, overalls, shorts, skirts, etc. can all be found in her closet. It's a very simple and casual look, preferring looser tops and bottoms that don't restrict her movement too much. Her style isn't really girly or tomboyish, it's simply whatever she feels like wearing and what she likes. Of course, her school uniform is seen every once and awhile when she actually manages to physically appear at school as well.
PERSONALITY: Gentle, Quiet, Patient, Kind, Alert, Honest. / Self-Concious, Anxious, Shy, Sensitive, Perfectionist, Passive.
Eunji is a gentle, old soul in a young person's body. She very much resembles her brother in these aspects so it's easy to see why they're related. She is very gentle, nothing about her is hard or rough, always taking time for others and putting them before herself. Eunji is also the type to keep to herself, not being spoken unless spoken to. People think it's because of a strict upbringing, but really, Eunji just doesn't talk much. She prefers to observe and take in rather than contribute to conversation. This girl has the patience of a saint, and will never lose her temper. Trust me, people have tried and she's never once gotten short or angry at anyone. She just tries to see the good in everyone, and doesn't see why you should spend your time being aggressive when you can be much more productive being gentle and kind. Speaking of which, there's not a mean or dishonest bone in her body. She is exceedingly kind, making time for whoever needs it and is willing to put everything down and listen if you need it. She also can't lie. It's like it's not programmed in her, she will always tell you the truth no matter what, but you know... she'll try and soften the blow as much as she can. Eunji has this intutition that makes her aware and alert in most situations. She can almost tell if something's going to happen, anticipate it and fix it as quickly as possible. It's pretty much impossible to surprise her.
At Eunji's young age, she's very self-concious of how she looks and how she presents herself. Is her skin clear, does her hair look okay, did I gain weight, oh god I hope no one noticed that improper foot placement in rehearsal -- It's a neverending cycle in her head. She's a perfectionist on top of this, which makes it hard for that racetrack to slow down or even stop and let her breathe every so often. Her brother is known as the Angel Boy and she wants to live up to that expectation people have for her. But she's still so young and shouldn't obsessively worry over these types of things. While it's true that Eunji doesn't talk much, she also is just painfully shy when it comes to new people. Like, she just can't talk or look someone new in the eye. Expect little to no eye contact until about the fifth time you meet her. She's just so uncomfortable around a lot of people, it gets overwhelming and she sort of shuts down. This causes her a lot of anxiety in a lot of social situations, especially fan meets. She doesn't want to disappoint any of the fans, but she just gets so worked up and overwhelmed... It's pretty hard the first year of debut. It's not that she doesn't want to be friendly and make new friends and people -- she just literally can not function until she sees them a couple of times. It's sort of like her mind doesn't register the person's real until she's seen them a couple of times. It gets her really frusterated a lot of the time. She's not the best at fan service, and she's new to the group, so she can recieve a lot odf criticism and that really gets to her. Netizens have left comments on how she shouldn't have been allowed ot debut because she's just so awkward on stage and with interaction at fan meets. At her age, it's easy to be influenced by comments like this and it really can effect your self esteem. She doesn't think very highly of herself because of this, and then on top of that she takes everything to heart which brings her down even more -- but she'll never get mad. It's a wonder that she hasn't imploded yet. Because she's not aggressive, she's so passive she could lay down and be a doormat to a soccer team after a match on a mud field and she wouldn't even flinch. It almost infuriates some of her members, because she'll just take it and take it and take it and never complain or fight back.
Eunji is the youngest of four siblings, being the baby and always being treated that way. However, being the youngest, her parents left her to her own devices earlier than most other kids. Luckily for them, she was naturally mature and learned to take care of herself.
She trailed after her siblings a lot, being very much into their music, their interests, and being influenced from the very start. Her older brother had a huge interest in dancing, taking her to his classes and letting her run around in the kids class while he did his thing. Soon enough, Eunji found herself falling for ballet and modern dance.
Her sister wrote poetry and messed around in music club, so she went there with her too when it was her turn to pick Eunji up, and was exposed from many different genres -- but even as a primary student she held dance pop and surprisingly, hiphop in high regard.
As a self suffiecient middle schooler and being as quiet as she is, Eunji was described as a wall flower: kind, gentle, but easily overlooked by many teachers and other students. Most of her friends or people she hung out with were either her siblings or their friends. She said she didn't mind, but many of her school years were very. very lonely.
The only place that she felt she was noticed and appreciated was the dance studio she and her brother now frequented every single week and weekend. Eunji's teachers constantly praised her quick learning and lithe body movements, melting into the music and letting it take over. It made her glow, her heart was full, and she knew she could always come to the studio if she was feeling down.
At age 11, her teacher begged her to perform at their showcase -- no one was better than her for the solo. Eunji was hesitant at first -- there were many others older and more practiced than her, surely. But she insisted, so Eunji went up to perform. Afterwards, she was approached by a few talent scouts. Though she was confused, she ended up going to the auditions offered and was accepted into High Rise.
As one of the youngest in Berri Bell, Eunji gathered a decent amount of attention in the first year of debut for her fairy like features and the way she just fit the entire concept of Berri Bell's debut and following releases.
Even though she was an idol, Eunji found herself worrying mroe about her studies: She didn't want to drop out or not graduate in time. Eunji was smart, she picked up on things quickly, just like dance -- nothing to be impressed about in her opinion but... She'd like to think about pursuing more education, especially in dance and music.
So at Hanlim/SOPA, she puts more effort into her studies than the new concept Berri Bell is having forced upon them. To her, she knows she's not anything special, and is happy to bring up the dancing line in terms of performance. Dancing is what made her truly happy, so as long as she could do it, she'd make do.
But being in high school, a teenager, and an idol is hard. Eunji is facing questions about herself, and not knowing how to deal with them. At this point, she just wants to graduate and think about what comes next. Career aside, Eunji wants to thrive in the best way possible... And is it... with Berri Bell? Or even as an idol in general?
In High Rise, though she was quiet, in the dance department, she was highly respected as being a hard qorked and a quick learner, makng her an easy favorite and top contender for a new girl group lineup.
Of course, it was hard to be considered as "idol material" because of her young age and general personality. But because the new girl group was large, the CEO looked over it. Not everyone needed to be eye catching, after all.
Thus at age 14, Eunji found herself debuting as one of the youngest idols in Berri Bell. Being an idol never changed her much, finding herself content to sticking to the background and as a "filler member" -- as long as she got to dance, Eunji had no problems.
For the two years of Berri Bell's pure, innocent concept, Eunji found herself having a fairly decent fan base -- as young as she was, she glowed and thrived under the school girl, cute concept. It was easy to be drawn to her in some of the formations.
When the company announced the new concept, Eunji knew she was going to have a hard time. Sure, she was able to adapt dancing wise -- She was quick for that, but she was sure it'd get harder. Eunji just wasn't... girl crush or a bad , for lack of better words. And with high school, she finds herself being very much between a rock and a hard place.
At the dorm where she lives with the members, Eunji doesn't find much help either. Either the more adaptable members ignore her or she talks to the other high school members.
As always, she finds her escape in dance. . . But having someone to talk to wouldn't be the worst thing ever.
Leader and Main Rapper | Sowon of GFriend | Seohyun | Seohyun ... is a bit of an airhead and very forgetful. Though it can be amusing on the shows they're on... It's honestly frustrating when it comes to off stage. Seohyun forgets the members, namely Eunji and Taehee, all the time. She hardly ever mentions them or talks to them, and after a year of them being together as a group, Eunji still thinks Seohyun doesn't know her name.
Lead Dancer and Rapper | Yuqi of G-IDLE | BingBing | As a fellow dancer, BingBing sees a lot of potential in the young dancer, and constantly praises her in rehearsals despite Eunji's pleads to not. As a foreign member, she often gets bullied online or by some of the more mean members. Eunji wishes she could stand up for her elder, but she's just so scared of causing trouble. BingBing and Taehee are the two she's closest to in Berri Bell -- though BingBing has the girl crush concept down to a tee and might soon surge in popularity in their next round of promotions, and Eunji is scared that soon BingBing will treat her like Nova or Joori.
Main Vocal | Sungyeon of PRISTIN | Joori | Another high school aged member, but because of her high, clear voice Joori is the obvious choice for a main vocal. This went to her head, and while Joori was friendly pre debut, she looks down on Eunji and Taehee, joining Nova in demanding that Eunji teach them the moves so they can audition to get the center or killing parts in the new choreography. Though recently, Joori seems more determined than ever to push the other two around -- maybe she's just as scared as Taehee and Eunji about the new concept because she doesn't really fit it either.
Leader Rapper and Vocal | JinSoul of LOONA | Nova | Nova is known as one of the faces of the group, so she's immensely popular and gets lots of the attention and center roles, despite not being the best dancer. Often, Nova goes to Eunji to demand her to teacher her the moves and doesn't thank her much. Whether she just doesn't think Eunji should get thanks or doesn't remember because, well, it's Eunji, she doesn't know.
Vocalist, Dancer | Sohye of IOI | Taehee | Taehee and Eunji are known as "filler members" for sure, and they don't mind. Eunji thinks that Taehee could do so much more with her unique voice and likeable personality, but often she gets outshined by the other more popular members. She's one year above Eunji in school, so she often tries to help with schoolwork. Taehee tries her best to encourage Eunji to go on more dance shows or to try and audition for more center parts for their promotion songs, but Eunji doesn't... And she doesn't know why.
Friend like Brother | Jeonghan of SVT | Moon Haseon AKA Apollo | Apollo probably is someone that Eunji wanted to avoid, but the second he saw her, he claimed she was his little sister and would do everything to help and take care of her. Despite Eunji's attempts to be forgetable, Apollo never did -- always checking in, always looking after her, always praising her. It made Eunji feel special, and soon she found herself referring to him as her older brother more and seeking him out if things got difficult. Apollo and Eunji are very, very close and love each other a lot, and Apollo frequently insists that Eunji should try more for center positions. He knows she can do it.
Dance Instructor | Irene of Red Velvet | Nam Woori | Modern dance has always been Eunji's favorite style of dance, and Woori is always willing to give her some tips and lessons as well as choreography to learn in Eunji's spare time. Woori sees herself in Eunji and doesn't push her like others do to be more in the spotlight, though she hopes that Eunji will reach for that spotlight when she's ready. For now, Woori just instructs and critiques Eunji whenever she comes in and performs for her.
Favorite Teacher | Ha Ji-won (Actress) | Ms. Kim | Ms. Kim is the mathematics teacher at Hanlim, and god does Eunji look forward to that class every time she's there. Ms. Kim is logical, calm, and gentle -- reflecting Eunji's energy and it's something she craves that in the middle of a school filled with energetic and loud idol students.
Fellow Idol Classmate | Moonbin of ASTRO | Ha Taemin | Taemin is very much a... odd character. He's energetic and likes to tease Eunji a lot. Taehee thinks it's because he likes Eunji, but Eunji just rolls her eyes. Taemin and her are in the same year so they share a lot of classes. Eunji admits he's handsome and definitely fits the idol vibe of his energetic group. Taemin does actually like Eunji, but he refuses to say anything and sticks to teasing her to get her attention.
Respected Elder | Yeri of Red Velvet | Shion | While Shion is older and is a little intimidating to Eunji, the younger greatly looks up to the young member of Ursa and gushes about how pretty she is often to Taehee. They don't talk much, but Eunji notices that... Shion seems really lonely. Eunji wants to be her friend, but how??? Why would someone as successful and popular as Shion ever want to be friends with a filler and wallflower like Eunji?

Well, to be fair, he didn't really notice Eunji at first -- Berri Bell was a sizeable girl group and he mostly worked with the lead and main vocals/rap. She had a few harmonizing parts and a couple of lines but their interaction didn't leave much of an impression on either of them.
Joonwoo started to notice her in co ed dance rehearsals. He wasn't the best dancer (or a dancer at all, to be honest) so he watched those that were in the few rows ahead of him and he couldn't help but notice the small, petite form that seemed to melt into the music naturally.
It was memorizing.
So the next time he came in for Berri Bell's recording session, he immediately recognized Eunji. Joonwoo was also disappointed to see that she still didn't have very many lines. Joori made several comments about how Eunji's lines didn't matter too, and it confused him.
"Everyone's important, your part would be lacking without her harmonies. Now shut up or get out."
Eunji had never had a producer speak up for her, and she felt her entire face burn as she went through her parts, the young looking producer paying close attention and giving her compliments on her hard work.
She hadn't said anything back, so Joonwoo just resigned to the fact that she wasn't a friendly type person. At the end of the session, all the girls were leaving and he was fiddling with a few last minute adjustments.
"What's your name?" The quiet question made him jump, turning to see Eunji looking at him shyly, fidgeting in place. He smiled. "Joonwoo. You're a good dancer, you know?"
"T...thank you. You're... okay." He laughed. He knew she was trying to be nice.
"I'm not a dancer. Not my thing. This," He gestured to the studio, "Is. The only way I got here was because I became a trainee."
Eunji nodded and left soon after, but they developed somewhat of a good relationship. Joonwoo would ask for help with some of the choregraphies for evaluations, and Eunji would come in to ask about production and the specific types of music he was working on.
It's obvious that Joonwoo at least has an interest in her, even going so far as to write music that gives Eunji more lines and parts. Eunji insists that he doesn't need to because others have stronger voices and fit the concept more.
Joonwoo is also at Hanlim as well, the same year as Taehee and gets very jealous when he sees Taemin hanging around Eunji. But it's not his place to try and be protective because if she was uncomfortable, she'd say something.
Though hearing her complain about him does make him feel a bit better. Taehee sees right through him and teases him occasionally. He brushes it off, rolling his eyes and trying to not blush.
Eunji isn't necessarily looking for any kind of relationship and Joonwoo accepts that, but he wishes she'd at least see what he sees: She's talented and beautiful -- she doesn't deserve to be a filler or a wallflower.
Eunji thinks that Joonwoo shouldn't have to force himself to do something he doesn't want to do what he loves. He's talented and wonderful and kind -- but as a friend. Totally as a friend. Not like her heart stutters when he smiles or compliments her or when he mentions in recording sessions that she's the voice he wants to mostly hear on certain parts of the song....
TLDR: They're high school precious babies and i'm a er for them. Because they're so young though it's ultimately up to you and the storyline whether anything romantic develops between them or not.
Basically they're very cute friends that could be more.
"What's your name?"
With Berri Bell's new concept, Eunji is willing to try -- though her round cheeks and bunny smile don't make a very good "girl crush" in her opinion.
Confidence has never been her strong suit, whether it's in her group or her school. With all these changes, Eunji is struggling to
