personality

Hyoju is a very hardworking and talented girl. Always burning the midnight oil and sneaking into the practice room so as to be able to gain 'extra knowledge'. To her, putting effort and taking the initiative to learn new things is considered a hobby and also a privilege. If you happen to defeat her in certain monthly evaluation for trainees, mark my words; Hyoju will be in the pratice room and she will get very little sleep. She's supposed to be a smart girl and no one was going to change that fact. Besides being an obssessed hardworking person, Hyoju is also very alert. She can definitely spot if there is something unwanted in the room. However, she's not as brave as she depicts herself to be. Rather, she's a scaredy-cat dressed in a wolf form to pretend that she's strong and that she's brave. I mean what do you expect from the daughter of parents' whom loved her to death? That being said, she would be the first to volunteer going into a haunted house. Yes, she's scared. heck, she would even take her luggage and fly herself to another country just so to escape if it weren't for her pride. She believes that she has a natural leadership which would make people follow her footsteps – but we all know it's not that case. in fact nobody would follow the path she paved. Nobody would trust a girl who does something without thinking about its consequences

She's a very possessive person and doesn't likes to share what's hers; be it friends or things. She wouldn't express her disapproval if you got close to her friends. Instead she would curse you to death in her diary. To add on, her possessiveness always lead to obssessiveness. No, not obssessed over some stupid animes. instead she would obssess over her crush. As sickening and creepy as it sounds, Hyoju is somewhat like a stalker. "But a cute stalker... have you ever seen such a cute stalker?" she would always say. Let's not forget that human all have their sentimental sides as well. Hyoju tends to get very violent and rash when she's angry. Often she would try to resolve her anger by challenging the person (who caused her anger) to a cat fight. Of course, she's not that capable. she would definitely lose, for the record she has never won at all. When Hyoju gets violent, keep in mind that she wouldn't care who you are; which means that she will attack you aggresively and pull your hair

She's rash, she wouldn't think of the consequences and she doesn't have anything prepared to answer the CEO and manager when she gets into trouble. So much for her pride and rashness. A rather quiet yet outgoing person actually, she tends to be really clingy towards the people she likes; a sign of obssessing, which often drives people away from her. Let's not forget that even the brightest people has its lowest point, when she's sad, she tends to distant herself from everyone and would always leave the dorm without permission. She says it's because she wants some space, but it's just another excuse for, 'i can't face my problems because i'm scared and i wanna runaway.' For a person like Hyoju, it's not a surprise that she has plenty of aegyos. She loves acting cute, "I want people to like me more.." Of course, acting cute isn't really a big deal for girls; in fact she uses it for good purposes - to get things that she wants. It's to the point where she would keep being disgusting with her aegyo (however you look it, cute or disgusting) and you can't keep up with it anymore, thus giving in to her

character background
Yang Hyoju was born on September 1st, 1997 in South Korea, Busan. Both her parents are owners of a Korean BBQ restaurant namingly, 'Min Gook'; which means best country. She was spoiled and loved as a child, since she was the only kid; which explains why she's very obssessive and gets angry when the attention isn't on her. She attended kindergarten and elementary school, and graduated when she was 12. When Hyoju turned 13, her family moved to South Korea, Seoul because her mother wanted a change in environment. Hyoju then attended Anyang Art High School and enrolled herself into a dance group, 'Freak Out' in school. After a few months, Hyoju also took interest in singing - and eventually learned singing herself through Youtube
 
Being a very diligent and intelligent pupil, she had topped her level multiple times. In 2011 when Hyoju was 14, she met Jenny (Jennie) Kim who was a transfer student from America, which is why she repeatedly says that Jenny isn't a bad or rude girl. A few months later, still in 2011, Hyoju had auditioned for YG Entertainment together with Jenny and she was rejected; with Jenny being accepted. Though she was a little sad, she didn't really held it against her friend. Afterwards as Jenny was busy with her training and only turned up to school for the main subjects, Hyoju was basically left alone. She wasn't a popular kid in school, and her old friends found her too much of a bother since she was too clingy and disliked it when they had other friends

In 2012 she auditioned for Cube Entertainment alone. Originally, she rapped and sang GN.A's 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live Better', but they eventually told her to dance. She got in for her dancing skills and started training the same year when she was 15. It was also that year when Kpop Star Hunt Winner, Sorn entered the company. The both of them trained together after they were confirmed to debut together (since they entered the company at the same time). However, in 2014 they notified Hyoju that she was dropped out of the lineup for upcoming new girl group, 'CLC' and was replaced by Jang Yeeun. 
 
Together with a few other trainees from Cube Entertainment, Hyoju was selected to undergo the trainee exchange programme with SM Entertainment. She wasn't a definite pick for their new girl group project, but she eventually got chosen after showing signs that she was determined to debut. After training for another 1 year, Hyoju eventually debuted

RIVAL
Rival: The Forfeit
Interaction: She and Hyoju trained together, somewhat. Considering that Hyoju entered Pledis Entertainment in 2014, while she entered in 2010 - it was kind of impossible for them to train together, but they did anyways because she was lacking a lot in her singing and dancing. At the start, She likes Hyoju. She found that the girl was rather cute, but after Hyoju showed sign of clinginess, she began to stay away from the older girl in fear that she's lesbian. When Hyoju debuted, Wengie started to dislike her. "Why her and not me?" A normal thought for all the trainees who had trained together with Hyoju, yet wasn't picked to be a member. However, because Hyoju liked Wengie a lot - she felt guilty and would constantly follow her around, apologizing. Wengie told Hyoju to give up the debut if she really is sorry; but Hyoju couldn't do so, she's an ambitious kid anyways. It became a mutual hate when Hyoju found out that Seokmin has interest in Wengie. After knowing that, Wengie often took advantage of his interest towards her to make Hyoju mad

LOVE INTEREST
" do you love me or am i just delusional? "
OH SEHUN
Group: EXO
Age: 20

Personality: Hot-Tempered, Hardworking, Responsible

History:

Hyoju first met Seokmin in 2014, when she first joined the company. At then, she already knew who Seventeen was, and she more or less know who Seokmin was too. She was in the dance room alone, dancing to CLC's 'Pepe' - it was afterall her supposed-to-be-debut song. At that moment, Seokmin entered the pratice room without knowing that she was there and when he saw her, he immediately apologized for interupting,

"Aniyo, it's okay. You're Seokmin sunbaenim, right?" Hyoju blinked, she was kind of afraid that she got the wrong person but mentally sighed in relief when he nodded, *Thank god.* 

Seokmin stared at Hyoju, "Are you new here or..?" She nodded before doing a 90 degree bow, "Annyeonghaseyo, Yang Hyoju imida. I was transferred from Cube Entertainment." Seokmin nodded and somehow felt envious of her. Afterall Cube Entertainment was a more well known company than Pledis, "Why did you transfer here?" He asked curiously and Hyoju gulped before smiling embarassedly, "I-I got dropped out of their new girl group project, and they wouldn't launch another one until a few years later..."

And then afterwards, they exchanged numbers and basically talked on quite a regular basis

Interactions: 

Hyoju loves following Seokmin around, no doubt. There's a reason for that though - she likes him, duh. There is no particular reason as to why Hyoju likes him, the moment she sees him she just though that, "Ah.. he's the one." Well of course, like the girls in movies; stupid girls. Despite being the same age as Seokmin, she enjoys calling him oppa... somehow. She knows that it's a one sided love, yet she still acts like Seokmin is hers. At the start, Seokmin didn't really mind Hyoju following him around like that. In fact, he thought that she was just following him because she was Seventeen's sister group. But as Hyoju starts declaring her love for him, he knew that the situation isn't that simple and innocent as he thought to be

Hyoju tapped on the mic that was in the cafeteria, somehow. "Ah, ah." She tested and everyone turned to look at her. What was this crazy doing... Seokmin squinted his eyes at her, being a trainee, he still didn't have the privillege to go to the idol building yet, therefore. s were looking at Hyoju as well, some thought that she looked really cute because well - she just do

Blinking, she looked around the cafeteria in search of the one and only, Lee Seokmin. Hyoju smiled when she caught sight of him before pointing to him and continuing, "Everyone.. Lee Seokmin oppa is mine okay? I like him and he likes me too. Do not disturb a happy couple because I will personally come after you, arasso? Thank you!" The whole cafeteria 'ohh'-ed at Seokmin who looked by far pissed, *What does she think she's doing?!*

To Seokmin, he used to see Hyoju like a close friend or rather a lovable girl. But ever since her nonstop clinginess, he found her to be irritating and her personality to be somewhat a turn off; which isn't surprising, I mean come on, it's 2015 already. Playing hard to get is the trend, doesn't Hyoju know anything at all? He admits that he is harsh towards Hyoju at times, but mainly because she keeps following him and buy unnecessary items for him, like what for? After hurting Hyoju's feelings, he rarely apologizes unless he feels the need to do so

Relationship: To Hyoju, they're attached. To Sehun, they're just aquaintance

INTERVIEW
Q. You probably mentioned this in your background already, but would you describe how you got into SM Entertainment and how you got chosen to be in Pinocchio?

→ Life in Pledis Entertainment was not very likable for Hyoju. She thought that she wouldn't be able to debut because they already had 'Seventeen' in mind, moreover she wasn't confident if they would succed considering that 'Afterschool' isn't that of a big deal now; only Nana. Not only that. Hyoju wasn't a popular trainee, which means she was only given very little predebut experiences for the K-Neitizens to see her face; it's the only way to ensure that you will be famous because the neitizens would wonder who you are. Fortunately things got better in early 2015, she got to star in Mad Clown's 'Fire' MV despite being from a different company and she did not even know how they knew of her existence. Before, she appeared in Boyfriend's 'Janus' MV despite not being in the same company because Cube Entertainment wanted to promote her before debuting her. Hyoju got into Pledis Entertainment after she has been dropped out of 'CLC' for member Jang Yeeun, and was then involved in a trainee exchange programme with a few other trainees from Cube Entertainment. She trained for a short period of 1 year and a half, while she trained for 2 years in Cube Entertainment

Q. What is your dream?

→ A doctor

Q. Do you have problems with the people in the company? The CEO, trainers – if so, explain why.

→ No
