Face claim: fiestar's jei/kim jin hee
Back up face claim: mamamoo's solar/kim yong sun
Height & Weight: 162 cm, 48 kg
Appearance:

appearance  - according to netizens, the general consensus on haeun's looks is that, while she's definitely pretty, have you seen her chest? and, yeah, haeun is naturally more busty than most female idols. it's drawn a lot of unwanted attention to her, and frankly it's a topic she's very insecure about, but any article regarding an.beat positively is a good one, right?
 styling  - the fandom's running joke is that, no matter how much the other girls change their hairstyles, yang haeun's will always be the same - long, brown, and wavy. she auditioned with that hairstyle, and it suits her so well that she hasn't changed it since, and no stylist has wanted to.
 fashion  - haeun's no fashion icon, let's say - she doesn't necessarily look like a walking garage sale, but at the same time, she doesn't dress as anything special. she likes wearing t-shirts, mostly, with leather jackets or cape coats when it gets cold outside, and leggings, or jeans, or skirts sometimes of varying lengths, with converse or boots or vans or sneakers...you get what i'm getting at? she looks presentable, but she doesn't stand out. for practice, she'll just wear a t-shirt with sweatpants - sometimes even forgoing the t-shirt and just wearing a sports bra, unless she's being recorded - and sneakers, and because the only thing not in her closet is dresses, she allows jisook and soojin to pick what she wears for formal events. haeun also collects beanies, many of which are gifts from fans, and is often seen wearing one bracelet on each hand - one bright blue, one bright green. those are gifts from her twin brother and younger brother, given to her when she first debuted.
 

 

seems like it was just yesterday, we grew up a lot.

 

Personality trait: loyal, hardworking, patient; unsentimental, soft-spoken, calm; insecure, gullible, restless
Personality: 

 positive - honestly, yang haeun is a textbook hufflepuff. her loyalty - to an.beat, to exuare entertainment, to her family at home, to her friends - simply doesn't die; she'll gladly stay with her friends until the end of time. if you befriend haeun, she'll be there for you forever - through anything from a 1:00 AM drunk phonecall after a bad break-up to a wedding in the middle of spring, she'll be there for you. and it's not like she ever flakes, either - haeun will gladly drop everything if one of her friends needs her, no matter how impractical it is for her to do so. haeun is also a hard worker. when she initially joined exuare entertainment, she worked in training her dancing and vocals constantly, giving up getting good grades at school and even sleeping, because she wanted - no, needed - to debut. when an.beat failed to gain success during their debut era, haeun would stay back in the practice room, figuring that, just maybe, if she danced better or sang better, she'd stop holding the group back and they could be successful. even now - while she's falling in love for the first time, while an.beat's officially a successful group - she doesn't stop practicing. at the same time, though, haeun was willing to go through all of that with a smile on - she's a patient girl, in the end. she puts up with everything the world throws at her - be it moon youngae on a bad day or another interviewer asking her if her chest is real or the dude she likes being so, so incredibly stupid, all the time  - no matter what happens, she'll grin through it, as if nothing even bothers her. she's willing to work with the members on choreography hundreds of times over until they get it right, and won't blow up at them even once.

neutral - haeun doesn't dwell on the past - she believes that you can learn lessons from it, yes, but really, you should be living right now, in this moment. there's no pictures of her family or seoul friends in her dorm, just her with her groupmates and idol friends - she still loves everyone back home,  and she still will drop everything if something happens to them, but in her view, she needs to focus on her now as an idol, and who she is as an entertainer. she prefers not to celebrate her birthday (though the other members insist) and doesn't like anniversaries, either - she prefers looking at things to come, not things that have been, and is furiously unsentimental. she doesn't get mad about those things, though - in fact, haeun is rarely mad...or sad...ever. it's kind of strange, honestly, how she can stay either completely pokerfaced or smiling 100% of the time. if she's fighting with a member, she won't blow up at them; if she's uncomfortable, she'll take deep breaths and smile like it's nothing; even if you talk to her about it, she probably won't say much, preferring to stay mellow. haeun is more of a listener than a talker, though she'll answer questions if she's asked them, and even then she's got a naturally soft voice that's far better for harmonizing along with the rest of the vocal line than it is holding conversations. her tone is eternally gentle, though that honestly pisses some people off even more. you're angry, so why are you so quiet? we've been through this choreo five-ing-hundred times, so how can you not be pissed off? or - at least - how can you not sound pissed off?

negative - haeun's a firm believer in the talents of others while not believing in herself  an ounce. she's confident in her skills as a dancer and pretty much nothing else. her vocals are so quiet, so un-powerful - does she even deserve to be  on the vocal line, when there's three other capable vocalists in the group? yes, she can dance, but there wouldn't need to be two lead dancers if she wasn't lacking in some area, right? what's more is that so little attention is placed on her as a person - she's there to explain choreography and to be teased about her appearance, and that's pretty much it. she avoids reading articles about herself or even reading comments on performances or fancams, because with each one, she just feels worse. (and you'll never know this, because she's always, always calm.) haeun's also pretty darn gullible - it's easy to prank her because she'll fall for pretty much absolutely anything, ever. tell her that chartreuse is a shade of pink and she'll probably post to instagram about it, raving about how happy this new knowledge has made her...and then, undoubtedly, someone will point out to her that chartreuse is a gross green-yellowy color, and then she'll feel down about herself. it's because of those traits, plus her natural hardworking side, that make her unable to stop. she doesn't get lots of sleep because she's usually anxious, thinking about tomorrow and how she can improve (and the consequences if she doesn't). sure, outwardly, haeun is calm, but if you were to look inside her head for just a second, you'd be shocked by exactly how anxious she actually is.

Background:

yang haeun - along with her twin brother hasun and her younger brother, haeil - was born and raised in a large apartment in seoul, south korea, by her mother lee yoonjung and her father yang sunghyun. her parents are both office workers - her father in real estate and her mother in a travel agency - that didn't usually have time to raise kids (or have them, even - both times yoonjung got pregnant, she didn't mean to do so) and as a result, they often weren't home; hasun and haeun (and, starting wen they were both five, her younger brother haeil) were pretty much raised by a series of nannies and babysitters, only seeing their parents during public holidays and rare days off from work for other reasons.  her interest and love for dancing started at during elementary school, when she began attending a dance academy close to her apartment building with hasun while her parents worked office hours and haeil stayed at daycare. while hasun gave dancing up and moved on to liking soccer, haeun stuck with her little academy, learning how to dance for after school every day, and eventually becoming extremely passionate about it. a talent scout from dsp media visited the academy and scouted haeun in 2005; fifteen-year-old haeun, naive and oh-so-ready to learn not just how to dance but how to be a dancer, jumped at the chance and, with the blessing of her parents (if it was their first son they would've cared quite a lot more) joined dsp media shortly after.

Trivia:

likes - iced green tea; summertime and hot weather; electronic music of any kind (her favorites being daft punk, avicii, owl city, planet shiver, and femm); swimming; her brothers; beanies; martial arts movies; volleyball; choreography; fortune-telling
 dislikes - winter; lying; having to stay still; cooking; coffee; beetles; running; pyrotechnics; snails; mystery movies
hobbies - choreography, usually to american songs; swimming and volleyball; watching action movies, especially martial arts movies; reading horoscopes and checking how compatible she is with celebrities she likes
 habits - kicking her feet when she's sitting on a chair; shoving her food around her plate, especially when she's nervous which is basically always; sleeping with her hands under her pillow and waking up with her forearms asleep
 haeun's ideal type was consistently the same - a younger guy who's taller than she is and gentlemanly - until she met eddy in 2014. then she changed it to a guy who can cook.
 her favorite color is teal, because it reminds her of the ocean.
 green tea is honestly her favorite thing ever, she's never not drinking it - she even carries a thermos of it to schedules.
 enjoys doing choreography, and eventually would like to choreograph one of an.beat's comebacks - she hasn't had the chance to yet, so until then, she sticks to making routines to songs by other artists.
 haeun doesn't drink alcohol or smoke; her twin brother does and she's constantly getting on his case to quit it.
 haeun loves summer - after all, july is her birth month, and one of the hanja for her given name means summer. cold weather makes her gloomy.
 her blood type is o.
 she's a big supporter of lgbtqia+ rights.
 she's never been in a relationship before.
 +please allow me to add more later!

we cried a lot and laughed a lot but it was so beautiful.

 

Family: 

father❞ yang sunghyun // 1959 // office worker // earnest, honest, asocial, blunt
it's not that haeun doesn't get along with her parents - she actually has a pretty good relationship with both of them. the fact that they were so absent during her childhood, though, has lead her to consistently be closer to her brothers. as haeun's grown up, they've grown closer, but they don't go out of their way to interact or anything. 

mother❞ lee yoonjung // 1960 // office worker // cheerful, hardworking, ignorant, hardheaded
see above

 ❝twin brotheryang hasun (fc: history's song kyungil) // 1990 // photojournalist // intrepid, reckless, passionate, clever
it's safe to say that yang hasun knows everything about yang haeun, and yang haeun knows everything about yang hasun. they were born at the same time, they grew up at the same time, and even when haeun went to train when they were 15, they still pretty much were always together. through every hard experience - notably hasun had an ankle injury that forced him to give up soccer in 2009, something he's as passionate about as haeun is about dancing - and through every major life shift, they've been right there next to each other. (maybe not physically, but you know.) haeun is also furiously trying to get hasun to give up smoking, a habit he picked up after getting solid work as a photojournalist. (he is having none of it.)

 ❝baby brotheryang haeil (fc: monsta x's im changkyun) // 1995 // university student // clumsy, awkward, nice, moody
haeun honestly kind of spoils haeil. when your little brother is a awkward of a turtle as haeil is, you just want to wrap him up in a blanket and give him tea and say that everything's gonna be okay, which is basically what haeun does. (haeil...appreciates it. sometimes. occasionally. okay, so maybe it was fun when he was a little kid but he's like 20 now, haeun.) much like haeun is trying to get hasun to quit smoking, she's also trying to get haeil a boyfriend - he came out to her in 2013 because he knew she wouldn't judge him for it.

Friend(s):

pretty dongsaengmoon youngae // 1992 // idol (an.beat) // 2009 // assertive, genuine, ambitious, spoiled
the face that haeun can put up with youngae 100% of the time is a testament to her eternal patience. youngae is bratty and competitive and impulsive and spoiled and headstrong, but somehow - and how she does this, nobody knows, it's probably black magic - haeun solely sees youngae as a hard worker, ignoring (or at the very least putting up with) youngae's negative sides. 

amazing unniedani baumgärtner // 1989 // idol (an.beat) // 2009 // outgoing, empathetic, headstrong, fractious
haeun admires dani so, so so so so so much. she just thinks dani is so cool and her voice is so good, and the fact that she's been training for even longer than haeun has...all of it is just so cool, to her. eventually that hero worship wears off, and as the older members of the group, the two get along pretty well.

 ❝good friendcha hakyeon // 1990 // idol (vixx) // 2013, backstage at a music show // talkative, loving, sensitive, friendly
hakyeon and haeun met by chance, but they hit it off right away; they're quite similar to each other in the sense that they're the type of people who hide when they're hurting, and can confide in each other (though frankly when they talk, it's mostly hakyeon talking while haeun just listens, until he makes her talk, and then she'll just be like "oh it's not so bad!" when in reality it's pretty bad).

 ❝bestie from seoul, brother's girlfriendlee hyeyoung (fc: red velvet's bae joohyun) // 1990 // bartender  // 1995 // bright, gossipy, sly, outgoing
haeun has known hyeyoung since four months before haeil was born; hasun's great, but sometimes you just need a girl best friend, you know? hyeyoung's current role in haeun's life is to keep up with everything going on back home - how hasun's doing (they've been dating since 2011), what their school friends are up to, if haeil's still single...

Other(s): n/a

i'm gonna have a dream, a higher level than being an idol.

 

Stage name: haeun
Position: main dancer, vocal  (lead vocal, lead dancer)
Persona: the summer fairy

Trainee background: 

haeun trained under dsp media for tree years; after being passed up to debut as a part of rainbow, however, haeun terminated her contract with the company. (haeun's non-debut in rainbow was the first seed of insecurity planted in her mind, and it's been blossoming ever since.) refusing to just go home, haeun auditioned for exuare entertainment, a smaller company where she was more likely to have a chance to debut. she was placed in a trainee group with five other girls; these girls ended up being an.beat. haeun had no pre-debut experiences to speak of, and mostly just focused on training her vocals and dancing 24/7. she didn't make many friends before being placed in an.beat, but quickly became a pillar of support for the other girls, which certainly is good enough for her.

Trainee years: 5 years total; dsp media (3 years, 2005-2008), exuare entertainment (2 years, 2008-2010)

Solo activities:

 for the most part, haeun's made a name for herself doing cfs - mostly, for beverages and makeup brands. there was a small scandal regarding a soju commercial she appeared in in 2012, along with 4minute's hyuna, sistar's hyorin, and kara's hara - it clashed with an.beat's image, but shot up her popularity by a good amount. (of course, this is popularity among uncle fans and guys in the army, but...)

Scandal(s) and news/blog article(s):

 2010 - an.beat's haeun got her s done?false. she's clarified this a number of times, but the rumors still prevail, much to her sadnes.
 2011 - an.beat's haeun's hot brother: somebody leaked hasun's  high school graduation picture, and the internet went on to fangirl over him. (haeun thinks this is the weirdest thing in history.)
 2012 - an.beat's haeun's soju commercial is too ual?: haeun jumped at the chance to do her first cf, especially alongside hara, who she vaguely knew from when she was under dsp - but there was quickly an internet backdraft, thanks to the cf clashing so much with an.beat's image. the response to the cf was good, though, and haeun gained more positive publicity than she did negative, so...
 2013 - an.beat's haeun is dating vixx's n?: false. they'd gone out for coffee on a rare day where they both didn't have schedules so they could talk; things got misconstrued.

Anything else?:

she didn't want to deal with having a real stage name, and as such just uses her given name.
 haeun's persona comes from her love of the summer season, and the fact that she was born in it. her personal fanclub members are called dollphins (spelling intentional), and her personal fanclub color is #F8FAD0
 she didn't want to deal with having a real stage name, and as such just uses her given name.
 vine is her favorite social network - she often posts short videos of choreography she's working on under the username "an.haeun", before posting the full things on youtube under the username "haeun715". she also uses twitter and instagram, just way less, both under the username "anhaeun715".
 haeun...can't rap, to save her life, at all, but years and years of dancing have given her a gift for freestyling and doing choreographed dances alike. her voice is soft and quiet and good for harmonization, and though it's gotten a lot stronger since 2010, netizens still believe she can't sing live. 
 among non-fans, haeun's pretty much only known as a y character; among people fans, she's seen more as motherly. this contrast is played up and is seen as appealing.
 

loveint

oh jongseok

 

Group: jjcc
Back up love int: applicant
Group: 1lusion or an.beat

we have good and bad feelings of love too. 

 

Personality:

 oh jongseok - also known as eddy - is kind of amazing. you take his good traits and he's instant boyfriend material. not only is he cute (he can even pull off terrible center parted hair!) and a good singer (being the main vocalist of jjcc and all), he's also bilingual, he can cook, he's a good dancer, he can rap decently, he can do cool flips and stuff, he's friendly, he's already done his army service...seriously, what's there not to love about eddy? he's a nice, earnest, hardworking guy with mad cooking skills who can beat up your enemies. he gets shy around girls he's interested in and goes for personality over looks. perfect.
except no because nobody's perfect, yo. honestly eddy's kind of obnoxious, and about 3/4 of everything he says will end in you rolling your eyes and wondering why you liked him in the first place. he wears his emotions right there on his face, so if he doesn't like you, you'll definitely be able to tell...and he talks a lot. oh, so much. oh eddy. 

First meeting & first imperssion:

 jjcc debuted in 2014, so haeun would meet eddy sometime around then - probably at some music show or something. haeun thought that eddy was really good-looking, if kind of short, and when she found out they were born in the same year, she honestly began re-thinking her ideal type. eddy definitely knew about haeun before haeun knew about eddy, and he was definitely excited to meet her; he requested a selca right away, much to haeun's amusement.

Relationship & interaction:

 they're still getting to know each other, and kakao each other pretty much all the time; they can't say they're not attracted to each other, because they definitely are, but they also can't say that they're more than friends.

The end

up to you, author. if a dating scandal with haeun and eddy broke out, there'd be more backlash towards eddy and towards jjcc than there would be towards haeun and an.beat, because an.beat's more popular than jjcc is by a long shot; they'd be like, "who's this nugu dating haeun, yo?" at the same time, though, haeun is finally experiencing her first love and she's scared and thrilled and just wants to be with eddy, that's all.

 

time we cried and laughed, goodbye now.
