NeutraL. honest, quiet
NEGATIVE. standoffish, forgetful, passive, rude, insecure, violent
PERSONALITY »
ON STAGE:
"You know very well that I can't lie." During variety shows, interviews or any on-cam events, when Hyerin is asked of something about her or what they do, she is notable for being honest like really telling them everything and whenever this happen the members always cuts her off. Because she has a honest habit that somehow similar to the non-existent pinocchio syndrome, Hyerin tends to blush or her face reddens whenever she lies, is the reason why she tends to be quiet, she's avoiding to reveal the dorm secrets and other stuff that even off-stage she reveals the pranksters, fault-doers and even bad news, either they will say "Aish Hyerin!" or "Hyerin, you shouldn't have said that".
"It's a pleasure to meet you sunbaenim." Despite having the dont-come-near-me-or-else aura, Hyerin is civilized and respectful. She shows her nice personality to people who shows the same kind of nice-ness towards her thus making an impression that even if she's aloof, she's still a nice kid. Hyerin is the kind of girl who doesn't speak much yet shows her respect in action.
"Ice Princess is always my first impression." She's often decribed as an Ice Princess because she doesn't speak unless she's spoken to and also she is quiet. She is something like a robot because when she approach people, she speaks shortly like a robot programmed to speak short but with complete thought. On the light side, Hyerin speaks more than her usual four to five words in a sentence. Another thing that makes her an Ice Princess is she doesn't reveal her emotions easily, in other words reserved. She doesn't show much emotion that will make people think she doesn't care and just ignore everything around her. But she still reveals some emotion like happiness (when she's really happy to the point she looks like a laughing ahjumma), sadness, anger and other normal human emotions. She was considered an Ice Princess because she's a Pinocchio and not much of a talker.
"I have to work hard, I have to prove myself that I can be a good performer." Whenever Hyerin is at put to test her talent, skill or anything that proves her worth, she never fails to work hard and to show them that she can do it. Being a former child actress and model, nobody knew she can sing and dance and now is her time to show the world that she can do much more. Aside from that, Hyerin is known to easily forget lines and choreography, this makes her work hard even more to remember them that she spent extra hours practicing her vocal range anc dancing parts. Another thing that shows her hardworking side is when she feels insecure, knowing how talented her members are she has the desire to achieve the same "talented" level that they are although she doesn't seem to her her "talented" self as well.
OFF STAGE:
"They once told me that I'm an angelic ice queen." Though she's standoffish, Hyerin is still caring due to the fact that she always remind people close to her to take care of themselves (in the form of post-it notes). She's sweet too that she shows genuine smile when someone uplifts her silent aura, also gives sweet words or prepares something for you when she's really in a good mood to drop them. She's also gentle in a way that she will take care of someone who is sick or hurt because of her, if she knows it's her fault she will immediately take care of you but expect her to be silent (that's her way of saying sorry). Hyerin is also uprighteous, something that makes her somewhat mature that she was once called Disciplinary Officer Yoon because she always correct, teach or remind her unnies (again in the form of post-it notes) to always do the right thing even in the simplest situations but she always do it than saying it.
"Actually, I'm a clumsy goldfish in human form." Everyone knows that Hyerin has a memory of a goldfish, it means she's forgetful. Forgetful not only in choreography and vocal lines but also in things and people. She even calls it her "auto-erase syndrome" because she completely forgot things, faces, names or anything that her "brain" thinks unncessary for her. On the bright side, there are things she remembers instantly or if she keeps on repeating and telling herself to remember that something. Sometime she will make post-it notes (this is where all the post-it notes come from) to remember everything. Not only forgetful but also clumsy, making any person's protective instinct arise whenever they are with her. Her clumsiness happens when she's half-asleep, her mind is wandering on other things or uninterested; the clumsiness can be seen in dance practices where she forget the steps and then you'll see her tumbling to the ground. Fellow member most of the time helps her getting up and remembering things but when she do, she gives her hundred percent even if just practice plus she takes extra effort by practicing either early in the morning or late at night to remember the choreography. Another positive note is that these clumsiness and forgetfulness never happens on stage, like some kind of a magic because at that time Hyerin is possessed with determination to prove to everyone that she deserves to be an idol.
"I'm the little wallflower." Hyerin is the kind of girl who's passive. Letting everything happen like whatever it may be she can adapt to the changes (because she knew she have to like nothing is permanent in this world). Even in group decision-makings, she let everyone decide but if something is not fair for her part or she started to hiccups during the meeting, that's the moment she speaks up. This shows her laidback personality or someone who doesn't like to panic; watching everything happens while people around her are in chaos. For Hyerin, she rather let everything speak up or happen first before responding because she believes that summing up all suggestions or analyzing and understanding everything first will result to better and effective solution. She's the kind of girl who accepts things easily as they were but not all the time especially if her Pinocchio Syndrome attacks. At this moment, she will ask someone older to explain things to her so she can accept it and stop her hiccupping.
"I envy them, those people who are good with what they do that it makes me feel worthless." Although many people already acclaimed her talent, she can't help to feel insecure whenever she sees great artist performing on stage. She grew up in an environment where she was only taught how to strike a pose and act in front of the camera, for Hyerin being an idol takes a lot of hard work for them to love. This is a why she feels insecurity, she can't help to lose her confidence but lucky for her she has her family, friends and members to help her along the way.
"You know, it's best if you shut up." She can be careless (talk and action) if she's totally pissed off, angry or not in a good mood. She shows her rude side by saying harsh words, sarcastic remarks and straight-forward talking that shows off her sharp-tongue. She can be violent too but only if you pushed her to be. If you've done something (really) bad to her, she forgives but never forgets as she says "I will forgive you but I will never trust and believe you".
BACKGROUND »
Han Hyerin was born in a happy family composed of Han Joon Hyung and Yoo Hye Mi with Han Jae Hoon and Han Hyunsik. She is the maknae of the Han Siblings because she's younger to her fraternal twin brother, Hyunsik. Her father is a Executive Employee of a textile company while her mother is a former theater actress.
In 1995, her family moved to Seoul because her father was transferred to the main branch of the textile company her father is working for. She was just a normal elementary student when she was scouted by her father's officemate to be a model under the textile company Klent. Her family is confident about her looks and considering that the money will be earned from modelling will help her in college, they let her be a contract model for klent. She became a popular kid in school because Klent is a famous online clothing shop for kids. Soon after, a child modelling agency scouted her and talked to her parents about her modelling stardom. Having the thought of saving up for college degree and knowing that Hyerin enjoyed being a model, they signed a contract that Hyerin will be a permanent child model for esteem. The spotlight was on her when she started to have CF appearances and TV series appearance that she was somehow considered as a child actress.
However in 2003, Hyerin's contract in Esteem Modelling Agency expired and she wished to withdraw from the agency itself. She decided to focus on her studies, Hyerin knew that being a model won't last for long. She then started to focus on her middle school and high school year though it's not easy because people knew her as a child model. Some bullied her while others are be-friending her because she's popular, this made her exclude herself from others because she don't want to have fake friends and wanted to live a normal life as an ordinary person.
During those years of inactivity in the modelling industry, Hyerin focused on studying music. Her mother taught her how to play the piano, guitar and even given her acting and voice lessons. That is also the time when she got addicted to Korean Pop Music wherein she bought merchandises, CDs and even attending concerts of her favorite groups. Her passion for music grew more after she started listening to Epik High songs. She's not really a fan but when she was dragged to an Epik High concert, their songs touched her heart and it made her promised to be like them one day, an idol to express and share music with others. Because of this interest, Hyerin asked her parents permission of granting her to audition in idol search contests. After having their approval, she auditioned for Kpop Star using Epik High songs yet she failed to make it to the top finalists but she remembered that the judges commended her sweet singing voice. Having a heavy heart of not making it to the finals, Hyerin thought that it will be much better to stay as model/actress instead since she already had backgrounder on that. She's more confident in her modelling skill rather than her singing talent, that's why when she was given a chance to choose her own path, Hyerin told her parents that she will pursue her modelling career. Therefore with thoughts that SM Entertainment is good at handling model and actress training, she auditioned there.

trainee year(s) »
6 months = Model/Actress Training ( SM Entertainment )
3 years = Idol Training ( BIG HIT Entertainment )
trainee life »
Originally, Hyerin auditioned and applied in SM Entertainment for model/actress training. She was accepted because of her beauty and background as a child model/actress. The training wasn't hard at all because she already have the basics yet the management suddenly told her that she would fit an idol more than an actress knowing she was a semi-finalist of Kpop Star. After discussing her about it, she decided to go for it pursuing her dream as a performer yet Hyerin decided to do her idol training outside SM Entertainment to avoid issues that's why she withdraw her training and auditioned to BIG HIT Entertainment. She choose BIG HIT because THE COMPANY IS SMALL, DOESN'T HAVE MANY ARTIST/IDOLS AND THE QUALITY OF TRAINING THEY HAVE.
Even though she was rejected ONCE, she still continue with auditions until she got accepted. Hyerin trained for 3 years because she needs to improve her dancing and other skills. Music and singing training is the easiest part while rapping and dancing is the hardest because her training mentors are pushing her hard to do her best when it comes it. Hardest because she is pretty known to forget lines and steps whenever she's practicing. The trainers always scold and punish her whenever she made a mistake in training most especially in dancing.
She endure everything knowing that her trainer just said those harsh things for her to improve. Gradually, the intense training made her RAPPING, dancing and other skill excell. Dance instructors noticed that Hyerin has that 'snap' when it comes to dancing, she may not be as good as the others but whenever she dances her body moves gracefully. The hard training earned her rewards such as debuting in a girl group.

to you who live in the world out there.
NAME » JUNG "LEO" TAEKWOON
BACKUP » lee hongbin
status » secretly dating [ if it's not possible then friends and secretly crushing on each other]
PERSONALITY »
— positive: caring, understanding, transparent, good-natured
— negative: standoffish, straightforward, quiet, violent
Leo displays a scary aura around him whenever he walks because of the straight face he usually wear. He tends to be very quiet, reserved and standoffish. He seems very sweet and kind-hearted that it's just his image that is very mysterious. If you're not that important or close to him, he will clearly show his coldness by short talk and small gestures yet when he is with his friends he loosen up a bit yet maintains the cold persona. Leo is the type where once you get to know him, you'll fall for his violent, aloof, and shy sides where he can be violent if you tried to pissed him, aloof 'cause he is like that most of the time and shy whenever someone tries to make him smile/laugh or give him compliments. Despite that, Leo is soft-spoken, slow to snap but wuick to react. If he's not aimlessly wandering around his own world (a.k.a solitude), he's probably just silently sticking to your side whenever you go.
With his demeanor, he's a person that does not speak unless spoken to, and the type of person who follows orders with no complaints unless it's unfair to him. When he speaks, he has a habit of sounding witty and straightforward, but his expressions and actions usually give away his real emotions and cuteness. He can be childlike sometimes, enjoying simple things, having happy times with his friends and making special person happy. Despite this, Leo is a guy that is quick to learn and is a good listener. He smiles when he's being yelled at, or simple returns to someone's smile politely, but he was never the type of person to actually respond to someone verbally.
Of course, he's kind and gentleman too but only shows it to Hyerin. He is kind and respectful to his co-workers and sunbaenims, bosses and to those with authorities. His sweetness is present whenever Hyerin is around, he will either smile, laugh, do cutesy mushy cheesy things and more. He will even show his unusual friendly side of him when he's with Hyerin.
Basically, Leo is having another personality or his angel-like personality if Hyerin is there but he goes back to his normal self when she's not in his side.
first meeting »
— Hyerin and Leo were childhood friends, they entered the same school when Hyerin moved to Seoul. He is the first person outside her family to know that she has honest habit. At first, he makes fun of it everyday but when Hyerin was once bullied by that syndrome Leo promised to protect her and keep her secret.
When Hyerin started to become popular in school because she was a model, she gained many friends and eventually forgets her friendship with Leo that when she was about to rekindle their friendship, Leo already transferred to different school.
They met again during their pre-debut days (Leo being a trainee and Hyerin as student), where they saw each other in the supermarket. Hyerin was sure that he noticed her and choose to ignore her existence, she was hurt yet she understand but fate was on her side when she was stranded on a elevator with him. She doesn't like being in enclosed places and Leo saw she's trembling and breathing heavily, he then hugged her and comforted her that everything will be alright.
After that incident, she thought they will never see each other again until one day Leo called her and asked for her condition.Hyerin is quite happy that finally, she's reunited with her childhood friend yet she didn't expect she will fall for him when they finally got to see each other often before Leo debuted with VIXX.
interactions »
— Since they are childhood friends, they both know how to interact with each other. Other than that, they seem to be a "good-for-each-other couple" because they perfectly match each other's quiet zones.
Even though they see each other in the hallways of Jellyfish Entertainment, they rarely communicate because of the schedules therefore they only talk through text messaging and calls.. Whenever Leo has free time (free from schedules and annoying members) to call her, he will alert her first because he knows that they both have busy schedules. Hyerin initiates the conversation because she knows he's shy yet Leo is quite irritated with this knowing that he's supposed to do the first move it's just his shyness that takes over. Whenever Hyerin notices that he's annoyed, she will start teasing him and Leo would just annoy her with her honest habit so he can get his little revenge.
Whenever they go out, Hyerin brings out the protective and manly him because of her clumsiness, forgetfulness and honesty that always caused her trouble. He likes protecting her, it's his way of showing how much she is to him. He can be aggressive especially if Hyerin doesn't pay attention to him, or if her mind is wandering off that Hyerin may result to not paying attention to everything at all.
Leo is quite clingy to her that he is fond of doing skinship unlike what is mostly seen by the fans. He is more of a doer than a talker that Hyerin would be surprised by his suddent clingy-ness. They do skinship such as arm-linking, Leo's arm over Hyerin's shoulder or him backhugging her which simply tells "Back off, Hyerin is mine!". Leo always hold her hand and intertwine them together whenever they have time to be each other's sides, he will also steal kisses from her either in Hyerin's cheeks or lips. Since he's taller than her, Leo always grab the opportunity to surprise her by backhugging or secretly whispering to her ears from behind. When he backhugs her, Leo rests his head above Hyerin's head or shoulder. Lastly, when they're bidding each other goodbye Leo will hug her tight and kisses her head then bids goodbye.
