"I’m not antisocial, I just dislike being around people.”

On Stage

– Aysa is a somewhat shy, quiet, reserved and serious person to most - making her seem like an ice princess sometimes.  She normally doesn't talk much when she was still new to the industry, preferring to let her members to do the talking for her. This is because she has a fear of saying the wrong thing and being embarrassed in public. She was scared that she might do something wrong and tarnish Evermore's name.

As the months passed on since their debut, Aysa begins to open up and reveal her true personality. She became more playful and seems to be more comfortable being on variety shows, even to the point where she showed her cute side by doing an aegyo. She became more open during shows and promotional events, which is a relief to everyone as she was giving of a bad image. Soon after, Aysa becomes one of the people's favorite members in the group as they loved to see this new and improved Aysa. Though in secret, she's still quite reserved and quiet, unable to completely shake off her shyness.

Off Stage

– Aysa’s reserved personality continues when she’s off stage as well. She’s always rejects when any of her friends or her members invites her to hang together or go out. She prefers to stay cooped up all alone in her room for the entire day, only going out to use the bathroom or when she’s hungry. Her unnies often joke that she was like a vampire, only coming out at night when she’s looking for food.

The main reason why she likes to keep to herself is because she was always used to being alone back home. She had no close friends before and her parents are always busy so spends most of her time by herself. Aysa likes it when she has company but she prefers solitude and being let to her own thoughts because it has been her way of life for a long time and old habits die hard.

Though, sometimes, the remains of her former personality can be seen through the cracks in the cold front that she built as her image. These events includes the time where she giggled loudly and did a Minnie mouse impersonation for a variety show (everyone was shocked, including members because they never saw her aegyo before), the time where she actually did an aegyo and pouty face to convince her unnie to buy her food (again, first time this happened), and when she actually volunteered to do the Gwiyomi dance in front of a stage full of people.

“Impatient? Controlling? I guess you could say that.”

Aysa is also the 'bossy ahjumma' and the 'dictator' of the group - as called by some members. Raised as the eldest child, she is used to taking responsibility and things done her way. It was a bit hard for her, the transition from being the eldest to one of the younger members. She sometimes argues with the members when they're not doing something she specifically asked them to do correctly. Aysa realizes that this is a problem and tries to tone it down as much as she can.

Aysa is also quite temperamental, inheriting her short temper from her father. She easily gets annoyed with things and is sometimes a bit too impatient. Her members continuously complain that she’s like a ninja by how she manages to disappear so quickly. She’s not the type of person who would wait around for someone and usually just leaves them when she got tired of waiting, around 2 minutes later. (This includes her manager and her group members when they had just finished performing for Music Bank. Everyone was congratulating everybody and chatting around after the show. She got tired and went back to the dorms by taxi, which makes their manager crazy trying to find their missing maknae.)

“Books are my life. They’re my only escape out of the harsh reality that is my life.”

Aysa is also a very avid reader. She could spend her entire day lost in the world of her books, leaving everything behind. She sometimes gets too absorbed in the story that she doesn't even notice when someone is calling her. That’s how focused she was. It didn’t matter what kind of book she was reading. Romance, science-fiction, fantasy…. She loved them all and would spend her entire day in the library or the bookstore, reading her day away.

Aysa gets pretty peeved when her members are being loud when she is trying to read and often tells them off for doing so, embarrassing them in the process. Lately, she’s become quite taken with the world of fan fiction and is surprised by how talented the writers and impressed by the way they managed to think of the plotline for their stories. She especially likes the ones about her fellow Kpop idols, impressed at how these people had placed her fellow idol in such outrageous yet ultimately sweet stories. She, herself, aspires to be a writer someday.

“I thought that ‘the imagination was more important than learning’?”

Aysa also has a very active imagination, which helps her immensely as she also loves to write. Give her a random title or scenario, and she can twist it around in her head to form an awesome story. Her unnies are impressed by her writing skills and have often asked her to write fan fictions about them and their biases (yes, idols have biases too), to which she will roll her eyes but will write them anyway as she loves them.

Aysa will also occasionally write lyrics for songs that she made up herself. A few times, she submitted her songs to the creative director for consideration. The Director confirmed that the lyrics were beautifully written and the melody was just as sweet but since most of the songs are not exactly ‘in the market’ type of stuff, they are shelved and sidelined for later.

Unfortunately, her creative thinking also means that she has a short attention span. She daydreams or falls asleep during meetings, long speeches, and sometimes, when people are talking to her which usually annoys them (especially her manager and CEO). She easily gets bored and will use sleep to escape such boredom. She even fell asleep on the stage once during a hosting job while waiting for the groups to perform (her fellow MCs had to slap her head to wake her up).

“My Taoris (her laptop) is my life. I can’t live a day without it…”

Aysa is also the computer tech/geek of the group. Her expertise with computers far outrivaled those of her members, managers, and pretty much most of the idol population. Her members usually go to her if they wanted to get their computer fixed, jailbreak their new phones or downloading the software they want online *ehemtorrentehem*.

 She and her laptop are practically inseparable. She brings it EVERYWHERE and cannot act normally when her laptop isn't nearby. Her members are sometime worried about her computer 'addiction', but she waves them off, just like the stubborn girl that she is.

On free days, she would spend hours in her room surfing the internet, only coming out for food and not bathing (her members would often scold her for this slightly disgusting habit). The members once tried to get her out of the room by plugging the wifi modem in their modem but their plan failed when they saw her switch from surfing the web to playing computer games on her laptop. Sigh.

“The members are everything to me. I couldn’t ask for better sisters to go through all this with me.”

Aysa is also a very caring and loyal person. She loves her members like her own sisters and would never allow anything bad to happen to them. She always defends her members from haters and sasaengs, either up front or online. Whenever a member is sick, she would be the one to take care of them and even sleep beside their bed to make sure that they were okay. She’s also the one who often treats the members whenever they wanted food, and whenever she DOES go out for dinner or shopping etc., she would also buy stuff for her members.

Aysa really appreciates the love she received from her group members as ahe misses having a sister and secretly really wants to reconcile with Saera. But unfortunately, both her and Saera's prides and egos are keeping them from mending their sister bond again. Both girls swore to defeat each other no matter what.

Kim Aysa was born to Kim Ah Min and Ha Lin Dae on the 7th of October 1997. Her father was working as a business entrepreneurship speaker at the National University of Singapore when he met her mother, Singaporean-born-Chinese Ha Lin Dae, who was also a speaker but for Finance instead. They got married in 1996 and had their eldest child, Aysa a year later.

When Aysa was a little girl, her parents decided to increase her co-curricular skills by sending her to violin lessons. It was harsh as the music teachers were really strict but to please her parents, she went through the pain. However, her love for music really began to develop when she accidentally saw the daughter of one of her music teachers practicing in one of the dance rooms. The daughter was a very popular singer in Singapore and Aysa couldn't help but to gape in awe at the way she performed and the sound of her lovely voice. From that day on, she promised herself to be just like her.

As a child, Aysa was always at the center of attention of her family, being the little star as she loved performing and singing for her family members ever since she was little. She often put on little recitals and holiday performances with her cousins during family gatherings.

Her younger sister, Saera was born when she was 4 and loved performing just as much as her older sister did. The two were famous in the family as the Kim sisters, and many of their family members remarked that Aysa and Saera might just be idols one day if they worked hard enough.

As the years passed, her rivalry with her younger sister began to increase. Aysa is a natural beauty with her own unique look and features by even she had to admit that Saera's beauty is one that rivaled hers. Saera gained more attention from people as she was younger, more charming and more beautiful than her older sister. This makes Aysa feel left out and shunned by those around her. They often argued with one another, their sisterly bond getting weaker as they got older.

Aysa tolerated her sister's behavior but her last straw came when Saera had 'accidentally' tripped her during a Christmas play that they were starring in, knocking her flat on her face. That event was the most embarrassing moment of her life and will haunt her forever.

As Saera was only 8 years old at the time, nobody blamed or punished her for the incident. Instead, everyone seemed to blame Aysa for 'ruining' the play for everyone there. That was when she decided that she had enough. She wasn't too bold to run away from home or anything but she promised to herself that she would be an even bigger star than Saera will ever be.

Her best friends had recently introduced her to Kpop which she found very unique. She never bothered with Korean music before, despite being half-Korean herself. She was immediately intrigued by Kpop music, especially with groups like Girls Generation, 2NE1, Big Bang and Super Junior. She was determined to enter the Korean music industry and started prepping for her audition.

She had originally auditioned for S.M. Entertainment when she was 13 and managed to get accepted as a trainee there, even managing to score a place as one of the SM Rookies. She met a lot of the idols there and befriended many trainees there. However, she soon realised that being a trainee at the famed S.M. Entertainment was anything but a bed of roses.

SM's extremely packed schedule and harsh treatment towards their trainees affected her heavily both physically and mentally. Her heath started to decline and her parents became extremely worried after seeing their daughter's poor condition. In the end, they made the decision to pull Aysa out of S.M. Entertainment for her own good.

She had auditioned for  S.M. Entertainment but her heart was always drawn to Daybreak Entertainment for some reason, mainly because of it's unique style and how the agency is more lenient and gave freedom to their artists to develop as idols, letting them keep develop their own images.

After her health finally recovered and after 2 failed auditons, she was finally accepted as a trainee at Daybreak.
