height & weight 163cm & 44kg

appearance standing at 163 cm, sooja is very pure looking. her features and soft and sharp at the same time, which makes her a fairly attractive girl. most people compare her to an average schoolgirl, but better and she's not complaining about it. sooja knows she's cute, takes pride in her small features, and won't let anyone tell her otherwise. at this age it's rare to have smooth pale skin like sooja, not including that one pimple on her nose that comes and goes. however, there is one thing other than that pimple that she dislikes about herself, the giant birthmark that stretches across her elbow. people often ask what it is, or they just stare at it long enough for sooja to tell them anyways. out of all places- it has to be her elbow. 

 

first impression usually when someone sees sooja they'd think she is a typical sweetheart. she can be but that's not entirely the case. that being the case, people often think she is a shy and think they can take advantage of her (which never happens). 

 

when first interacting with sooja they're tottally shocked. they never expected such a girl to be so loud, outgoing and conceited. usually, this rubs the person the wrong way, which typically makes sooja upset. most of the time, she doesn't mean to be rude and just wants friends. but hey, if they think sooja isn't worthy of a friendship its their problem, not hers. she usually gets over it quick. even though this happens, if you get to know sooja she's actually very sweet when she's not having a moment. 

 

fashion sense off stage sooja loves wearing skirts and dresses, usually in bright pastel colors (mostly orange and yellow). she dresses like someone her age should. usually she accompanies her dress with a cardigan, trying to hide the ugly mark on her elbow, and this is why winter fashion is her favorite- it's a must to cover your arms. she doesn't like a lot of accesories and keeps her outfits simple. because she's so young and always talks about how she wouldn't want to mess up her skin she doesn't wear makeup, just lip color and maybe some eyeliner. and recently, sooja has learned to walk in heels, which she has added to her wardrobe. something else she can't forget is a bag, whether it be a drawstring backpack or a tote bag, she always has one when going out and carries who knows what inside of it.

 

onstage sooja's innoccence is kept safe for the most part. her style isn't really that differen't- the colors just have to match the concept. however, she does appear to wear a lot of denim no matter the color, even though that's mostly for cool concepts. she likes to show a lot of leg though, so skirts are still a must have,

elaboration 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. 

 

background 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. 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 pledis because 'they don't seem scary like the other companies. oh- and nana.' 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. 
 

 

brother · moon kwangsoon · 19 · student · reliable, witty, warm-hearted
— sooja and her brother aren't really like siblings. they're more like bestfriends.he is the reason she became a trainee after all. they always count on each other and together they've tried to get rid of the quietness and independentness within their home. kwansoong and sooja have a strong bond. if anything is wrong she will always call kwangsoon. inside jokes, going to hang out together and way more things are what they enjoy. they seem to be inseperable. 

 

best friend · choi nuri · 16 · student · energetic, motivated, innovative

— nuri and two other girls formed a dance cover group with sooja and she isn't called sooja's bestfriend for nothing. they've been through everything with eachother and their personalities are even somewhat similar. they've been dancing with eachother, and now that sooja is a under pledis as a trainee nuri couldn't be prouder of her best friend. nuri is really someone sooja looks up to since she got her into dance. they act totally differen't around eachother which sometimes is considered a good and bad thing- mostly bad since they've self titled themselves as the leaders of their dance cover groups. when they need to be serious with eachother, they're serious, but mostly it's all fun and games.

training years three years (2012-2015)

training experience sooja became a trainee by audtion. because of her young age, her mother did not want her to and did not approve when she found that sooja's brother took her to an audition behind her back. she learned to accept it but still acts unsure about it. of course training was not easy, but it wasn't hell either. obviously she got in to pledis with her dancing, with her rapping just sounding like a voice with an expression and her singing sounding a bit high and cutsey. but to sooja is was like a difficult p.e. class at school. she did things she hated and did things she loved. sooja and other younger trainees were praised for being able to manage their regular childhoods and their talents that have been showcased at practice, and once again, she let it get to her head. since she acted so high and mighty about her dancing skills there were a lot of other trainees who did not like her, but others who were really impressed with her confidence. and the thing that made her want to act more conceited about her dancing was practicing with the boy who made her blush constantly. she didn't let this or anyone else become a distraction though, she continued to do what she had to do even if she wanted to give up at times, she was still determined. 

 

i auditioned with the help of my brother. i'm thankful for him because at first my mom didn't approve, but he managed to convince her.

well it definitely isn't an understatement. i am one of the best, so to be dubbed as that makes me feel good. everyone's talented so the whole group is just the best, you know!

of course i was going to debut. there's a lot of competition within trainees but i feel like i'm ahead of a lot of people. 

i am not close to a lot of people, but i do have friends. my groupmates are definitely my friends. i would also say that i might be close to dino. we're both young so of course we relate a lot. 

i'd really like to host shows like music core and inkigayo since i'm really good at talking. making solo variety appearences seem fun too. 

if we're one of those long lasting groups like shinhwa i'd like to still be with valiant. if not then i'd like to be a variety star or host a radio show where i'm the one interviewing the future kpop groups.
