personality。

jangmi is a little ball of fire. her defining traits are her determination and her confidence and her quick tongue. she has many faults, as well; her ego is a bit too big, she can be self-centered at times, and her desire to be the best can be a bit all-consuming.

jangmi is an incredibly hard worker - when it comes to something she's passionate about, at least. from the time she was young, her mother always encouraged her to fight for what she wanted, and that fiery determination is definitely one of her strongest traits. she was never a hard worker when it came to grades and academics, but when it came to dancing she was willing to pull all-nighters in the practice rooms, to dance until she couldn't stand. this determination is both a good trait and a bad trait; on one hand it's made her who she is. she was born with talent, of course, but she's pushed herself and has really honed her skills over the last few years, making her quite an excellent dancer. this drive of hers also inspires others to try and push themselves that bit further. however, this determination is also a vice. she's so focused on becoming the best, on becoming number one that she can be quite hard on herself. everyone makes mistakes, but in her mind she has no room for error. especially when it comes to dance, her particular area. if she messes up singing she'll be terribly embarrassed and will practice harder, but if she messes up her choreography on stage she'll be in the dance studio until the early hours of the morning, every day for the next week, running the routine over and over again until she has it perfect, almost uncaring of the strain on her body. this attitude is also projected on those around her; as main dancer it's her job to make sure the girls look good dancing. she pushes them, too - which isn't always a bad thing - but sometimes she can be a little overbearing, sometimes she becomes so caught up she can snap at the people she cares about. sometimes, she needs someone to say firmly 'shut the hell up, we're taking a break' or 'go home and rest, i don't care how much you need to practice.'

this determination stems from her ambition to be the best. her ego is a little too big for her own good, and she's very ambitious. she also has a self-centered streak when it comes to it; as much as she wants her group and her girls to succeed, she also wants to succeed herself, she wants to stand out. as a result she's very competitive. although she's hard on herself when she messes up, 90% of the time she has a confident aura about her. she knows she's good. she knows that her girls are good. sometimes, a little faith is needed, y'know? sometimes, in the nervewracking moments, her presence can almost be a little calming. in the moments before a performance when some of the others are dealing with nerves, she's the one who slips her hand into another's, or who squeezes someone's shoulder or pulls them into a one-armed hug with the reassurance; it'll be fine. we've worked hard. we can do this.

jangmi can be a bit sharp with others, but most of the time she doesn't mean it. she has a quick tongue, which usually is used in good humor; her sarcastic quips usually poke harmless fun at the people around her. however she doesn't always realize that she can be hurting someones feelings - she's a bit oblivious like that - and it can take her a long time to realize what she's done and apologize. her humor is one of her quirks, and she often charms people with it, too. sometimes she doesn't quite respect her seniors, sometimes she's a bit rude and sometimes her words can be a bit hurtful, but once she realizes that she's in the wrong, she will nearly always apologize. she may not seem like it, but she cares for her friends. sure, she's no "big sister" type, but she hates seeing people hurt. she's a bit awkward when it comes to apologizing, but she does her best.

all in all, jangmi means well, but sometimes she's a bit too rough around the edges. she's never been great with words, either; she tends to communicate through more physical means. her apologies are stuttered and awkward but she'll say more by the way she hugs and squeezes your hand in apology. when someones upset or nervous she'll say a few encouraging things, but the most comforting thing will be the little gestures she makes. she's not the best to go to for advice, but if you want an honest opinion or someone to rant to, she's a good one to go to. and if you hurt someone she cares about - watch it. seriously. she holds grudges. under the firey exterior, she can be quite a loving person...but it definitely takes a while to get used to her.

trivia。

dislikes

• slurs
• heights. she has a fear of heights but she'd never admit it

• car rides
• cold weather

habits

• jangmi is definitely one for physical affection, she's quite touchy-feely. she often drapes an arm over her friends' shoulders or links arms when walking together
• she bites her nails, even though she's trying to break the habit. there's nothing worse than ruining manicured nails by nail biting, but she can't help it!
• she bites her lip when she's nervous. this doesn't happen very often, but it's a sign of discomfort. it usually happens when she's on a height or when someone makes a boderline-homophobic joke
• she drums the fingers of her right hand on her left arm when she's restless or bored
• she always winks in selfies. literally always

hobbies

• running. she tries to run once a day, if she can. she finds that running is a great way to keep your figure, aside from all the dancing! she finds it relaxing, too.
• listening to music. jangmi has a wide range of musical interests, from k-pop to punk rock. she'll listen to anything, and will give anything a try
• yoga. she tries to start and end her days with doing some yoga. it's a good way to unwind before bed and to wake up in the morning, and it helps with her flexibility

other:

• jangmi has never had a boyfriend (for obvious reasons) but she's never had a girlfriend either. she has kissed girls before, but that's as far as her experience goes
• she's quite flexible
• she would love to learn how to play an instrument but she doesn't think she'll have time in the near future
• in training she tried to learn how to rap, but she could never get the hang of it
• her celebrity crush is kim hyoyeon from girls generation
• the competition she entered when she was younger was an international competition. you had to send in a video of a performance and then audition - a few weeks after the audition the hopefuls learned whether they had won the two year scholarship or not. two others from south korea also went but they weren't the same age as jangmi so she didn't see much of them.
• she has trained in many different dance styles, but she specializes in hiphop and ballet. hiphop is her favorite and is more her style, firey and powerful, but she loves to surprise people when she puts on a slower beat and slips into the graceful and elegant moves she knows for ballet.
• jangmi is a very open person and doesn't hide much. the only thing she considers a "secret" is her uality. she's not ashamed of being gay, no. but it still is...frowned upon, to say the least, and if she was open about it she would sabotage her own chances of debuting. she doesn't want to let years of toil go to waste, so on this particular matter, she keeps shut.
