♡ Tofu - since she was a child, she was called this because of her white skin that looks like tofu at times. Her parents gave her this nickname and it kinda stuck. Also she was squishy when she was a baby (like all babies) so maybe that's why her parents called her this.
♡ Ppang Jinri - her friends call her this because of her obsession with bread. They replaced "Park" (her surname) with "Ppang" (bread)

PERSONALITY »
Jinri is a nice person to be with, even if you're just merely acquaintances. She's really good in keeping a conversation alive because she never stops talking. There are times that she'll just talk about uninteresting topics and make them sound like they're actually of interest. Interestingly because of this, she's often seen as one of the more approachable unnie/dongsaeng. She doesn't complain, of course. In fact, she likes having more friends. She is most comfortable with friends and she often performs better when she knows her friends are there. She's also very playful. She really likes having fun, and she knows how to make the atmosphere more fun even in a slightly awkward setting. If it's not exactly obvious Jinri is a rather bright and happy person. She likes thinking positive things and she likes imparting happiness to other people through her actions and bright personality.
Jinri is a rather expressive person. She shows even little things big reactions. Actually, she doesn't just use her face, she even uses other parts of her body to express different feelings (curling her fingers when people show their aegyo, jumping up and down when she's embarrased, etc.,). She also is quick to state her feelings to the wolrd verbally. Like she'll literally shout that she's feeling happy if she is indeed feeling happy. She's also rather weird. I mean, she invented the rather ummm unique "eagle dance". She's not afraid to tap in to that weird side of herself than drag other people down in her rabbit hole of weirdness.
Like what was stated earlier, Jinri is an expressive and weird person. Yeah, there is one more thing, she's also very impulsive. She acts before she thinks it through. She doesn't think of the consequences when she's doing something that could potentially mean trouble for her. She's also rather clingy. As we know, she's rather friendly and her friends are her battery, so to speak, and she can't help but latch to her friends. She relies on her friends too much sometimes and it gets a little bit annoying. She's talkative as we know, and it gets to the point that she becomes annoyingly noisy. People often call her out on it, calling it a problem on her part. Of course, tries to fix it, but that doesn't mean she's progressing for the better.

BACKGROUND »
♡ Jinri's backround is a bit mundane. She's the only child of Park Jinyeon and the deceased Park Hosung. She had a relatively normal childhood. She attended regular school and got average grades, made lots of friends. The normal stuff.
The first ever major problem in her life was the passing of her father when she was five. She was too young to understand the concept of death back then, and would often ask her mother when will her papa come back home. She misses her father dearly now, but back then she didn't understand that her father would not be coming back to tuck her in nightly, to play with her, and that lasted for a few months before she finally understood that her papa was gone.
Moving past that, she again had a rather mundane life. She has always been into music and performing. She especially likes to dance. She always performs little dances in front of her friends and classmates at school. She also likes to join talent competitions. Of course she doesn't always win, but she enjoys performing in front of large audiences. Eventually she got scouted by an SM talent scout in one of the contests which lead her in the waiting room with lots of other hopeful individuals that want to train under SM entertainment.

SQUAD »

TRAINING YEARS » 4 years
TRAINEE LIFE »
♡ She was scouted while participating in a contest in her school. The talent scout gave her a card while he congratulated her for winning 2nd runner-up in the said talent show. A few weeks later, she was called to audition for SM entertainment. She auditioned for a dance position, and fortunately she passed. 

Trainee life was not easy. There were lots of hard times. Harsh trainers, hard routines, diet, and with the added bonus of school made her really stressed out. She was tempted to quit very early on. The only thing that kept her going was the support of her friends.  So she persevered and kept on training.

Halfway through her trainee life, a video of her dancing passionately to a church song went viral in Korean social media, earning her the name "eagle girl". She got a bit in trouble with the company for the unneccessary exposire but they let her slide when they discovered that she was only garnerning positive attention.
