expanded personality. 
Well, one thing you first notice on the stage is the look in her eyes, you can tell that she is charismatic. SHe just has that strong presence onstage that makes you just want to dance along with her. But she has said many times that her secret is to just be confident with your skills. Not to sound cocky, but she knows that she's talented in dancing and rapping. Even with her singing, because even though it's not her strongest skill, if she just believes that she can do well, she'll do well. Which brings me to another good quality trait of her. She is one of the most Passionate people you could ever meet. She can't explain where that comes from, it just happens naturally. maybe because when she's doing what she loves the most in the world, she just... loses herself in a way that just takes her in world where she just wants to stay forever. I think she took it too far, but she got it right on the pulse. But she's not all work and no play. Even though that it may seem like she's a bit like a hard figure to approach to, but in all honesty, she would approach you first, because she can be a very friendly person. She just likes talking with people who have the same interests as her. And the people who are close friends with her always describes her as a Humorous person. She just likes making people laugh because it gives her a sense that she's doing something right.

background.
On feburary 14th, 1997, yes, on Valentines day the earth welcomed a beautiful baby girl, named Lin Tuan. She was born as the youngest out of her 4 other siblings. Being the baby of the family, she always had eyes watching her and fists ready to punch anyone that harms her. But when her family is not watching her like a hawk, they were always a chill and fun family. I think by looking at her last name you can guess one of Jiayi's brothers are. Yes, it is the flying, baby-face, man, Mark Tuan.

Despite the of 4 years, Mark and his sister are closest to each other more than with their 4 other siblings. He always liked to pick her up after school and just hang around with each other. Not to mention they play a mean game of volleyball together, she didn't even consider him as her brother, more like a best friend. and if they're on the same team, spikes are happening everywhere! So, you could almost imagine the emotions that she felt when Mark was randomly street casted on one of their fun outings to be a part of some training thingy to become a Korean idol in Korea! I mean she didn't understand, he was taiwanese not a korean.Then the moment he was announcing to the family that he was accpeting the offer, yeah... she hated him after it. At his last days of being in LA and with her, she completely avoided him and didn't even look nor spoke a word to him. She even faked being sick so she doesn't have to see him off, because she knows that once she gets there, she'll cry like there's no tomorrow.

That's when dancing started to help her cope with her emotions. Jiayi is not one to talk much about her feelings - unless it's being super happy or super angry. But when It's a much more serious emotion, she has trouble talking about because she doesn't want to become a burden to anyone. But one day when she was walking home from school, she saw a couple of people surrounding two guys moving weirdly with their bodies. She asked the person beside her what they were doing, and he simply described in one word is, krumping. Kumping? She asked herself. She wanted the whole show, they looked like they were mad at each other, but when the whole thing was over, she noticed how they were just happy and every negative thought is gone. You can say that has influenced her to dance. She started to dance on her own. It felt like whether she was sad, mad, happy or any ther feelings she had, one by one it would just flow out of her with movement she made with the beat of the song. She would be in her own world, and when it's over, it's like when she takes her last breath, she can actually breathe and be herself. 

But when the time comes that she has to visit Mark in South Korea because he was in the last stages of prepartion for his debut, and being sick and being too young (she was 17) to be home alone in LA didn't cut it anymore to avoid seeing her betrayer of a brother again. So when they saw mark waiting at the airport and hugged everyone and was about to hug jiayi, she dodged it. He knew that she was mad at him still, but luckily through his parents that sent videos of her gradually growing up,  he got to see her smile and happy. Plus being a boss at playing volleyball in her school's team. But also some of  videos of her dancing in a couple of dance competitons she entered in school. In which she has won some trophies and a stupid 2 second trophy and/or a possible participant ribbon. Which sparked Mark gears to turn and conjoured up an idea. Because, we all know that JYP has a soft spot for dancers, he showed him a video of her dancing, and you could say that he had that signature smirk on his face. He contacted her through mark, and offered her to audition for his company. Just when she was about to decline, her parents ended the call and really try to push her to accept the offer. Because they wanted her to make amends with her brother and they played the, "We won't be mad, we'll just be disappointed" card on her. Which was more than enough to convince her to accept the offer.

She auditioned for the company and got accepted. She has been training for 2 years, and even during her training, she didn't even see her brother a lot due to his own idol life. She has been thinking about ending her contract with JYp because she thinks that it's useless being here because she never really did see her brother much unless it was on tv, and she didn't want to be here in the first place, but for her parents wishes she stayed. When she talked about this with JYp, he offered her a deal. She would audition for a survial program called "Trigger", and if she loses she can end the contract. But the thing is she really has to apply herself and try because she is a jyp trainee, but if no one bids on her she can end the contract.

family.
I think you could recognize one of her family her brother is mark of got7. and probably their dad too who has some of the most sassiest tweets ever. That sad moment when your parents have more followers than you . Also, her swee mother who knows all the right things to say, and also the most embarassing ones to say too. Plus their siblings, Tammy, joey, and grace.

They are one chill and happy family. Always hangout like they're the bestest of friends. Everyonce got a long great and yes, like every other family we fight at times, but always threaten to never talk to them again, but also always make-up after it and laugh how stupid it was. But with Mark and Lin's dispute, you can bet that everyone of them is pusing them to be brother and sister again. Plus,we have a effin' pool in our backyard! in which we have the most fun pool parties!

friends.
She only has a small group of friends that she met and stuck around throughout school. daina, Jaeson, and hana. They have had the best of times and the worst of times together. But that only made them stronger than ever. Yes, they got through occasional fights, some were more serious than others, but because of the friendship and bond they have with each other, they always back to each other crying and apologizing to one another.

They all met when they were in 1st grade. Hana was her neighbour and they obviously became best friends, and she knows her a bit more than the rest the other two. Jaeson was a boy in her martial arts class, and they were the best of sparring partners. Whenever they spar, it's always a draw. Daina was her dance partner and #1 competitor when it comes to dance class. But hey, not all rivals can't be friends. So, when they heard Lin was going to move to SK, you can bet they were all sad, but they still video chat, call, text, and snapchat each other, always telling her to hold on a bit longer.
