since she was young soonja was never the shy type. she loves to talk and speak her mind, and sometimes that doesn't go so well. usually, people think of soonja as a nice person they can get comfortable around. if she see's that you're shy she will try everything she can to break you out of your shell, sometimes forefully. generally, sooja is a bright cheerful person who seems to never stay quiet and surley sticks out within her family of quiet people who are private about their lives. since people around her were very closed, she tends to open up to people very quickly no matter who you are. if she has something to say about you or to you she won't hesitate. her sharp tounge makes her known on variety, some ways good and some ways bad. something she doesn't get in trouble for is her strange but nice sense of humor. it's like she talks too long, too much, and too in detail, it's hilarious. things like this make think of herself as popular, which she sometimes let it get to her head.

when doing things or teaching about things she has a passion for, such as dancing, sooja feels as if she's on the top of the world. she hates to think people are better than her, she brags an awful lot for someone her age- knowing that there are people who have way more experience than her. dancing is very important to her and she will not loose to anyone when it comes to it. despite her thinking she's better than everyone, she doesn't consider anyone to be on her bad side although some people may think she hates them. she hates being proven wrong, and if she is she'll refuse to listen unless someone knocks some sense into her by scolding of course. sooja doesn't really belive that she's being mean to people, 'constructive critisism' is what she refers to it as. but seriously- is it constructive critisism when someone does something she doesn't like and she gets mad at them? speaking of, if you were to get on sooja's bad side something as small as insulting her dancing will do the trick. if you're on her bad side she won't pay any attention to you and act as if you're practically invisible. but there's nothing to worry about, it's not like anyone would dare to insult her dancing anyways. they know how she gets.

in all, sooja isn't a bad person. maybe she has a short temper but that doesn't mean that's all she has. everyone has good quialities. she cares for each and every person she's had a decent conversation with, always seems bright and cheery and is a social butterfly. sooja loves to make friends, tries to me as nice to people as possible- which obviously doesn't work out. but hey, she tries. 

                                     born in gwangju, sooja and her family moved to seoul in order for her dad to start a business successfully. her childhood was normal but of course every family has their issues. moving to seoul wasn't easy, her dad didn't get the job right away so they had to live just off their mothers job. which made their family not exactly wealthy, but not exactly poor. to other people, sooja seemed poor because she wore the same few outfits in public or wore the same pair of shoes for a while. at school, she would not tolerate bullying. her and the 'bullies' often got in trouble arguing, but honestly it didn't phase sooja too much. she thought of herself better than them anyways. besides, they were the ones attemtping to bully, not sooja. 

in elementary, sooja and the small group of friends she had were really into kpop. they spent hours hanging out with eachother, learning the songs word for word, and one of sooja's close friends, nuri, was really into learning the dances. that's she reason why sooja got into dancing. she was jealous of nuri for being to do something so nicely. nuri made dancing look so easy. sooja was offered personal 'dancing lessons' by her friend and next thing you know, a dance cover of t-ara's bo peep is uploaded onto youtube. sooja has been dancing ever since with nuermous covers being uploaded afterwards. 

by now, sooja's father has started a business. however, it's not doing so well. that being the case, sooja asked her mother multiple times to take her to a company so she could at least have a chance at being an idol. rejection after rejection her mother said 'you're too young'. this probably affected sooja more than the bullies did (which wasn't a lot). sooja's older brother saw how much this upset her and next they probably did they worse thing they could do. he researched a lot and ended up taking her to audition for cube because 'they don't seem scary like the other companies. oh- and hyuna.' shortly after her thirteenth birthday she was accepted into the company. her mother decided that she had no other choice than to support her daughter despite knowing all the danger that came with training.
