PERSONALITY :　Honestly? Above all, Nari is very ambitious. She wants what she wants, and she's going to get there. This is simply how she is- Nari strives to be the top in her class, to be the best trainee, to surpass her brother.  She's overly competitive, after all. With her older brother a world-class idol and her best friend a famous Cube soloist, she's got a lot to live up to, and she intends on doing it. Nari is quite optimistic, and thus she believes she and others can do anything. This optimism is a key part of her personality, always shining through in even the worst of situations. Nari is highly independent, though, so she's likes to do things for herself. The moment she could, Nari moved right out to live on her own. She's best when alone. Nari is very forgiving. She's not the kind of person who holds grudges- They simply eat her up, and thus she doesn't see any reason to hold them. She's normally the first to apologize, and isn't afraid to says she's wrong. She is a very rational person, and always makes the decisions that are best for everyone. Nari gets all the facts and accepts her shortcomings, unlike many. A lot of this rationality helped her mostly beat her anxiety. She's also highly adaptable- Nari can change herself to fit any situation, and that's not an exaggeration. From her personality, to appearance to her attitude and facial expression. Depending on who's around, Nari can show her most favorable traits more than her less-than-desirable ones. It's strange, how she can seem to change to please others. It pisses a few people off, though. This girl is very honest. She doesn't like to tell lies, nor speak only half-truths. Nari feels that lies only complicate things and hurts others, and thus her ever telling a lie is something rare and unbelieveable to those who know her. She would only lie to help others. Nari is a very unconventional kind of girl. She likes to do things in her own strange way, which, while it weirds out other people, works well. She tends to do things in her own little weird way.

Nari is a very athletic person. She lives and breathes sports- Be it soccer, basketball, gymnastics, it doesn't matter. Sports always excite her, and she's always the first to the practice rooms, be is midnight or three in the morning. A lesser trait of her, but nothing that makes her an awful person is her ertedness. She openly stared at hot guys, and isn't afraid to admit her ual attraction to them. She always makes the dirtiest jokes the make some members blush, some laugh, and some totally exasperated. She likes to see the reactions, it's really funny. Somehow, Nari has ended up as a very selfish person. She often prefers does things if they benefit her in some way, and good luck getting her to let you borrow something, much less share. She believes looking out for number one. Nari simply finds it better to care about herself than other people. She's highly irresponsible, and doesn't see the problem with it. It's not uncommon to hear Nari say something like, "Responsibility isn't for me," or, "No, someone else can do it." She never takes the responsibility she needs to for her actions, which is something awful about her. She's very unorganized, and lays the blame on that as to why she can't take responsibility for things. "I might lose your phone if you give it to me," or, "Last time Unnie told me to watch her money, we didn't find it for three months." And it's true. She can't keep all of her things organized and where she can find them. She's such a worrier- "Unnie was supposed to be home an hour ago, why isn't she here yet? Did something happen?" "Ah, did I leave the stove on? I bet I did, the house is gonna burn down!" Those kinds of thoughts are always on her mind. It's in her nature to worry. Nari is indecisive about many things, and despite her critical and selfish personality, she relies on others to help her or make her decisions for her. Making decisions is something that scares her- What if she makes the wrong one? Though she always looks at the positive, there's always that little voice in the back of her mind, a lingering anxiety from childhood, letting her know all the ways this once choice can mess up.

Nari tends to be very temperamental because of this and just because it's who she is. She's often touchy, and almost always to get angry easily. She can be fine one minute, and totally blow the next. Her friends and family had to learn how to be around that kind of person. It's not easy, her attitude changes at the speed of light. However, this can be attributed to her spontaneity. She doesn't think before doing and just goes ahead at full speed. She's very spur-of-the-moments and doesn't like to make plans. Nari's comfort zone is pretty high, she loves to try new things, even if they seem scary. She's pretty adventurous in that respect. She's one for extreme sports and trying weird and gross-seeming food. Unpredictable in a fun way. She's hard to trick, though- It's nearly impossible, she can pick up on nearly anything. It's her hope that gets in the way of that skill. However, if she forgets about being hopeful about everything, Nari really doesn't fall or any tricks or pranks. It's funny, watching her deadpan those who try. She's really feminie- Not like she doens't like dirt and mud and stuff, but she tends to be sensitive and has a very feminine voice when she speaks. She just exudes being a woman when she's not being an idol, in which case she exudes charisma and all that good stuff. However, she is very envious of the fame and things that others have. After Jangmi ed her life and career up, she began to find that there were many things to envy. She also has the trait accidentally interrupting people. She tris not to since Jangmi, but she can't help but want to say the things she wants to say. They just blurt out. She does get criticized for this a lot, particularly by Netizens, but it's widely accepted it's just a thing of her's. A lot still think it's rude, though.

BACKGROUND :　Soo Nari was born on a very cold April morning at 3:17 a.m. to a loving family of a mother, father, and two older brothers at forty-one weeks and five days. Her parents immediately went to more permenant forms of birth control after having her, thus making her their youngest, first, and only daughter. She was a heavy baby, at 5.5 kg, which surprised her parents as their sons had been on the lower range of the birth weight range charts. She ended up losing some of this weight in her first few months of life, which was totally normal. What wasn't normal, however, was her left eye. The doctors immediately noticed upon her birth and initial chekup that the left eye was much less responsive than her right eye, yet she seemed to be able to see fine out of it, so it wasn't much of a worry. However, after a month, Nari's mother noticed that her left eye seemed to be cloudy. Immediately, she was taken to the hospital where she was found to have cataracts. The doctor explained that cararacts were actually hereditary in her family, and that she and her sons hasd been lucky to escape without it. Nari, however, wasn't as lucky and actually had to have to have the lense of her eye removed. Due to her age and eye development thus far, she had it replaced with a plastic lense instead. In 2014, was was discovered that it would have been much better for her to wear contact lenses instead, and get the artificial lense later in life, but what had been done was done. She was thankfully able to escape the post-operative problems that many experienced, and thus her time as a baby went fairly smooth after that. Her older brothers adored he new baby to death, and oftentimes Namkyu dressed her up in super adorable clothes and proudly show off his work to his parents.

Junsang really loved to teach her how to talk and walk, and it was truly adorable to see the three siblings interact together. Nari clearly prefered them to her parents, not that they took offense to this. When she was old enough to walk in stead of crawl, she began to get into her mother's makeup, a classic baby move. She loved to apply it to herself, the mirror, and her brothers who simply let her enjoy herself. She definitely went through the terrible twos, where she was a total brat, totally stubborn and did all the things she knew she wasn't supposed to. Thankfully, Nari grew out of that stage and eventually startede preschool. She was very social and well-liked. Her father liked to spoil her a bit during this time, always sneaking her extra food or buying a toy that she incidentally had begged her mother for the day before. Nari  loved all of the attention, and thus behaved well so everyone would be happy. She started to play sports with Junsang and Namkyu. When she started grade school, she was instantly known as the smartest kid in school, but she was super happy and pretty popular. It was in third grade that she and Namkyu found an interest in something that Junsang didn't- Singing and dancing. Though Namkyu was definitely better at rapping than her, like by far, they enjoyed it nonetheless. Nari loved this quality time with her brother, exchanging tips and advice on how to improve. Nari loved her life, more than anything. She was always taken on trips to amusement parks and zoos, always had more than enough to eat, was living a more than comfortable life, and had a whole bunch of friends, including Song Iseul, her neighbor during reading time. She'd started school a year late and they got extremely close, extremely quickly. They always have been and always will be best friends. Nari simply couldn't be happier. Until Namkyu was scouted by SM Entertainment. The first time he was scouted, he threw the card away, saying he didn't want to get into the entertainment world at all, much less by a guy who basically stalked him.

Nari was shocked. Why were your throwing away your chance at fame?! After many, many more attempts and cards from the SM Entertainment manager, Namkyu finally gave in, due to Nari's extreme insistance. She knew that Namkyu could totally be an A-class idol, no problem. He was a pro at rapping without any training, and though his vocals were less-than-amazing by far, his dancing was pretty good, and she knew with proper techniques that he could easily overcome these, well, shortcomings and be someone amazing, someone well known and popular. Nari knew that Namkyu truly liked being in the limelight, no matter how much he denied it. When he started to train, he became a happier person, he lit up and seemed to enjoy life more, especially after he worked so hard to get there- In order to prove to his parents that he could do it, he stayed up three days straight to study for a test where he got into the top ten (Previously he at school, to be frank), and that's when his family allowed him to join SM Entertainment. Nari was pretty young at the time, but she was totally proud of him. However, it was after this that he started to pay less attention to her, and he spent less time with her. It was understandable of course, but she felt lonely and started to shut herself away. Junsang didn't even see her anymore since he was studying for his college entrance exams. She felt somewhat abandoned, even though she knew that she truly wasn't. Not to mention, her grades started to fall a bit as she started to take on too many extracurricular activities. She was stressed and overwhelmed. She found her solace in makeup- She loved it since she was a kid, and now started to experiement with it in her free time. It became a passion of her's. Eventually Nari started to seclude herself and after her time as a "nobody" in middle school, started to act out in high school. Drinking, smoking, hanging out with the "bad" crowd, Nari started her fall. She started to skip school. However, because she was still getting top scores, the school couldn't really complain. At age sixteen, she begged her parents to let her get nose surgery to change the look. They agreed. Nari started to sleep around, and eventually was contacted at age seventeen by an adult film director who offered her a -ton of money for five minutes in an outfit she'd wear for fun to piss her parents off a bit. She accepted the offer, and she was well-recieved even though she was barely there.

After this, she actually found herself reconciling with Nari, who upon finding out about it simply felt awful for not realising that his baby sister probably needed him. She has an onset on Lipedema, and to treat it, has lipsuction at age eighteen. Namkyu encouraged her to join a company of her own. "We both know you're talented, and you could use a new hobby." Nari thought about it before realising, hey, I really do like to sing. So she agreed, and thus started training. In October, just before debut, Nari broke up with her boyfriend of six months. That month she absently realised she missed her period. This wasn't abnormal as she'd always been irregular (From stress, smoking, drinking, etc. which she started to cut out of her life more and more) and thus she didn't think about it when she missed her next period. And then a week or so later she had a particularly heavy one with intese pains though she never had cramps before? Yeah, right. She called Iseul over immediately (It was about one in the morning) who, being a midwife-in-training, had a pretty good idea of what was going on. When she told Nari that, well, you had unprotected with your boyfriend, missed your perioud, slight bloating and nausea, you probably just had a miscarriage. Iseul never did like to sugarcoat things. Looking back, it should have crossed her mind, but of course that's what hindsight likes to slap in your face. This was in-between promotions, adn she went to the doctor who confirmed Iseul's diagnosis. Nari decided to get a butterly tattoo on her hip to signify that part of her life- And her quitting of alcohol and smoking entirely. She dropped her "friends" that weren't Iseul and finished up school with nearly perfect grades. She had applied for the three top universities and Seoul and was accepted by all, but went with her first choice- Seoul University, just like Junsang. She went into Engineering Sciences, and took cosmetology classes outside of the school. She learned a lot there. Nari was left with no job, however, when her bandmate Jangmi got arrested for illegal drugs and assault. Yeah, she still holds a grudge for that- There goes her shot at fame, it seemed.

She was left to find another company should she wish to debut, or at least be a trainee, she had to go. She searched relentlessly, but no one wanted her and she was worried. Finally, NH Media accepted her and promised to debut her again as a soloist if she got a forehead injection and a lift. Buying into it, Nari immediately got the surgeries. However, after the year was up, she knew it wasn't going to happen. Not to mention, she'd injured er ankle twice in six months, and healing was taking longer to heal because of it's past injury and thus she was let go with little trouble. Nari moved out of her parent's house after this, moving into her own apartment. This is where Nari's anxiety is rooted from. After moving out to live on her own, she became acutely aware of every little sound the walls made, ever creak the floor made. She's always been afraid of the dark, and being alone in it was worse. This, coupled with being away from her family and rarely seeing any of them, caused her anxiety, which had always bubbled up undearneath the surface finally break free. After she was certain she was healed, Nari auditioned for another smaller company- Saseum Entertainment. With their help (She was tired of relying on her parents) she got to see a psychiatrist who prescribed her some medication for her anxiety which surprisingly helped a lot. She was accepted, yet...She'd lost the spirit to sing, really. She'd been trying too hard for too long and her ankle just kept getting injured. Namkyu finally asked her to stop, one day. He said to focus on college and getting a job- Their parents couldn't pay for her apartment for the rest of her life, and she knew it was true. She gave herself one week to make her choice, but in that time she met all of her sunbaes from Sugar and Spice, and Fire and Ice, and she had never felt so inspired. She denied her brother and got back into the swing of things. Her new drive was, truly, the reason she was chosen to debut.

friends & family

RELATIONSHIPS :

▸ Parents and eldest brother— Soo Hajoon, Soo Miyeon, Soo Junsang (48, 49, 26) / Dentist, flower shop owner, fund manager / Warm, strict | Cheerful, overly trusting | Alert, exciteable / 6-10 (Jungsang's FC: )
Honestly, it's been a long time since Nari last spoke to her parents. They haven't really had a relationship in a long time, and not out of a lack of trying. The three simply don't match well together. Ever since she turned things around for herself, Nari tried to be close with them and her parents tried just as hard, but the rift is irreparable. However, they can rely on Nari and she can rely on them if things come down to it. When she heads home after her scandals, they do, finally, become jut a bit closer. Until then, she doesn't really talk to or about them. Jungsan is a bit different, ever since she got closer with Namkyu, Jungsang just wasn't as important in her life. However, he's determined to get her attention back, and thus calls and texts her muliple times a day, though she doesn't answer more than half the time. He misses his baby sister, but she knows tht he's always there for her. She reconnects when she goes home, like with their parents.

▸ Older brother — Soo Namkyu (25) / SM choreographer / Active, charitable, over-working, fickle / 10-10 (FC: )
Namkyu is, by far, the most precious person in Nari's life. He means the world to her, and she would die without him. He was the one that raised her more than anyone, he was the one that made her life worth it even when she fell into her not-so-pleasant habits, he was theone to comfort her when she lost everything and he was the one that cared for her every single time she was sick or hurt. One look is a whole conversation, just a hug is the only consolation they need. He's always the one that says good morning to her first, the one that says good night last, and is willing to run in a storm to her side. He would doa nything to make her smile, or laugh, or even just feel okay, because he never wants his baby sister to have to be upset or sad or hurt, and because her smile and the prettiest in the world, and because her laugh would make the world right in an instant. It's unfortunate, because the two have a hard time meeting up nowadays- Namkyu has been a choreographer at SM for two, going on three years once he hit the debut cap, and is happy with his job. Nari, however, is not. She wishes he was more than satisfied, that he got to debut, but he simply assures her this job is right for him. No one on this Earth could ever be more important than Namkyu. He's such a wonderful person, someone who honestly cares about everyone and about the world, and though he can flake sometimes, it's not out of trying to hurt you, it's just that something truly important has come up and he knows he can see you another day. Namkyu is the person you would be proud to know, the one you could brag about and the one you could take to for hours on end without getting bored. Namkyu is something beyond loved, he's cherished by a great number of people in, and all around, the world.

▸ Best friend — Jung Kiha (23) / English tutor for elemetary kids / Humorous, easy-going, sly, wishful / 9-10
Kiha has, thankfully, been a close friend to Nari since high school, and has only gone up on the scale of people important to her life. He's number two, now, next to only her brother, and just above Hyeja. He's the funny friend that, somehow, always knows what you're feeling and makes the dumbest jokes to cheer you up. He likes to go with the flow and just be there. Kiha's pretty sly, though, crafty and can make you admit things tyou thought you'd never say aloud by tricking you. You can't be mad at him, though, because he did it out of the good of his heart. He wishes for thigns that will never come ture, and is a sad dreamer to many, including his parents. They don't get along well, because his parents honestly think he's just a sad creature and don't lvoe him at all. That hurts, sure, but Nari is there to clean out that wound and heal it. She's very gentle and kind with Kiha, which is who she is overall, but many people see all sides of her. However, thall those sides aren't really her, you know? They're the friends tha tplay video games until six in the morning, gorge on ice cream when one's sad or having the tiest day ever, tease each other all the time for absoltuely no reasn other than it's fun, and only find love in their hearts for the other. Kiha plans on buying every song that Garden releases, going to every performance and join their official faclub, go to every fansign even if she's not there, and buy tickets to every concert. They're the kind of friends that could easily be lovers but are more than satisfied, and best, as friends.

▸ Close friend — Song Iseul (23) / Midwife / Precise, focused, blunt, cold / 7-10
So basically, they used to be like Nari and Kiha, but Iseul has become very busy and focused on her work, and they don't see each other as much as they used to. Isuel is, honestly, the most blunt and cold friend you will find. She's completely normal with strangers or her patients, but with those she knows very prersonally, she's just doesn't care that it might hurt- That's the truth, there it is, deal with it or don't. She focuses on tasks and jobs very well, her attention never straying form the work at hand. Iseul is precise with her work, and is organized and exact. She taeks and shows an extreme care for even the smallest of thigns. Nowadays, Iseul and Nari, who used to be the best fo friends for years on end, can only be considered close friends. They exchange only good morning texts, and meet up only once every few months. Calling is a bit more frequent but not by much. Iseul feels guilty, but her livelihood is more important than hanging out with a friend who, too, is about to be very busy with their job. She simply has better things to do, it's the kind of person she is, and Nari has come to accept this, with a struggle. It's hard to feel like you're losing a friend.

▸ Rival — Balzarini Davina (23) / Idol (S&S) / Too lazy to look for myself / 8-10
Okay, hold on. These two may be rivals, but seriously they're actually just friends that like to have a little rivalry every once in a while. I mean, how couldn't they be close? They're both the weird s of their groups. All fun friendship aside, these two battle it out for vocals. Davina and Nari are both pretty good, but they can't really say who's better. To be fair, their voices are pretty different, and everyone refuses to compare them- Within Saseum anyways. They're really frustrated with it and have decided that evry once in a while, they will put away their friendship and instead treat each other as rivals. It's pretty funny watching them go between friends and I'll rip your throat out if you speak to me, because they totally don't feel the latter no matter how hard they try. Oftentimes, it just ends up with them bursting into laughter again.

▸ Leader (Main vocalist) — Kim Hyeja (28) / Stay-at-home mother / Maternal, loving, overly flirty, worrier / 8-10 (FC: Han Hyo Joo)
Okay so Hyeja is just the weirdest conbination of a person ever. She'd always been very mtoherly and kind, loving and warm, a person who worried for others, but she'd also been...Flirty. With everyone. It's not like she means to, she just does. She just sees it as being nice, so people get a lot of mixed signals. Only a few months after CoolGirlzzz disbanded, she became engaged to her boyfriend of five years- An American guy named Zachary Bell (FC: Jack Falahee). They were married by October, and by December she was pregnant. He was two years older than her and pretty rich all on his own- None of the money was his parents, only the money he gave them. They had a daughter, Kim Ahseong, with the American name Elaine Bell. She's now two years old. Late the next year, Hyeja was pregnant again. When she was six months pregnant, however, Zachary died in a plane crash. Immediately his half-sister, Tsubaki, who had been close to the both of them, moved in with Hyeja, who stayed strong for her children. Kim Minki, also known as Talon Bell, was born. Ever since then, she's just stayed at home to take care of her children, until a reporter found everything out- After all, it had been mostly kept out of the media, their life together. She was invited to do a "Single Mother of Two" photoshoot, and she agreed. For the first time in a long time, Nari called her former leader. They became very close after everything went public- Hyeja had been an amazing leader when they were bandmates, and she missed that kind of person in her life. She went by the stage name Rose in CoolGirlzzz.

▸ Unnie (Main rapper, lead vocalist, visual) — Nam Yikyung (26) / Soloist / Charismatic, easy-going, protective, stubborn / 6-10 (FC: Park Shin Hye)
Yikyung and Nari were never that close. I mean, it's not like they didn't get along, because they did, but it was more co-existing than anything. It was kinda like the older stuck together, the younger were best friends, and then there was the middle kid. Yikyung is now a very successful soloist, doing both rap-based and vocal-based songs, and she's even taken a win against Taeyeon. Nari is very proud of her Unnie, who was overshadowed by Jangmi and never got to show her true talents. Yikyung even does acting every now and again, and though people now call her overrated, she deserves everything good she recieves. Yikyung actually wishes she'd made more of an effort to get closer to Nari when they were bandmates because she loves seeing Nari build herself up into fame again. Sure, she'd been protective of the two youngest, but never close or loved. She hopes that they can meet on music shows since she'll be promoting So-So at the same time as Garden's debut. Nari doesn't know that Yikyung still thinks abotu her and knows that they'll be promoting at the same time, and just hope that Yikyung remembers her name. She'll be surprised by the excited hug and scream of her name. She went by the stage name Mai, and is now known as Aeyoung as a soloist. She debuted as a soloist in 2014, adn also works in Japan.

▸ The Another Unnie (Lead vocalist) — Cho Jangmi (24) / None / Adaptable, intelligent, serlfish, agressive / 1-10 (FC: Nam Jihyun, actress)
Even before Jangmi got arrested, Nari hates Jangmi. In fact, everyone hated Jangmi. Jangmi was the only one that didn't go by a stage name, Jangmi took as much screentime as she could, Jangmi was always as active as possbile, and Jangmi was always getting into trouble. Drinking, smoking, drugs, , getting into fights, she did it all and no one liked it. She didn't give a about what Hyeja or Yikyung or the managers said, but her mother funded the company and Jangmi was actually pretty good at singing. Because of Jangmi, during their short few years as CoolGirlzzz, they went throguh nine managers. She never did anything she was supposed to, made the poor maknae cry, Hyeja storm out of the dorm, Yikyung move back into her parent's house in-between promotions, and simply drove Nari to nearly murder her. Everyone felt suffocated, and the media noticed. The other four were blamed, saying they were just like T-ara, ostracizing Jangmi and giving her hell for no good reason. There were others who criticized Jangmi, however, claiming that who wouldn't hate her? She takes well over half of any screentime the band gets! Eventually, finally, Jangmi ed up, and badly. She got caught with a myriad of drugs after assaulting her former friend who had given up on her. The friend ended up with a broken nose, sprained right shoulder, multiple cracked ribs, and a deep gash on her forehead. She was arrested and, despite her mom's money, things did not go well for her. It was a mix of relief and anger that she'd been caught- Relief that her reign of hell was over, but anger because she'd ruined them. ORANGEIE made the desicion to disband them and send the four girls packing. If Nari were to see Jangmi again, she'd be unbelievably unreasonable. Jangmi is aware and doesn't plan on seeing her whenever it is that she gets out of prision. Nari made an effort to not find out.

▸ And a Dongsaeng (Main dancer, lead vocalist, maknae) — Jung Inhye (20) / Model / personality traits / 7-10 (FC: Jo Bo Ah)
So, I'll be honest, Nari was part of the duo maknae line in CoolGirlzzz. Inhye was the other half and the girls were always super close. They still had a few years in-between them, but truthfully they were alwasy the "friends forever" kind of girls. They know every secret there is between them, and they really wish to meet up again soon. However, Inhye is a very popular model nowadays and rarely has freetime. She diets like ncrazy which Nari doesn't approve of in the slightest. Inhye really doesn't care, though, and throws herself into her career. Because of this, Nari rarely sees her anymore and their friendship waned a bit, causing the vocalist to lean more on Iseul and Kiha as friends. Maybe they'll meet again soon. but for now they're on different career paths and those paths don't seem like they'll intertwine much, despite both being paths of fame. If I' being honest, the two both really miss each other but don't quite recognize it. Inhye had the stage name Love.

PERSONA :　The Prince In Shining Armor (Backup position: Main dancer, sub-vocalist). On stage, Nari becomes Prince, a powerful vocalist with a brave attitude. She teases fans and is perfect at variety, good for shows like Law of the Jungle, Let's Go! Dream Team, Idol Athletic Championship, etc. Not quite 4D but very different, Prince is considered fairly tomboy-ish despite her feminine beatures and build.

STAGE NAME :　Prince (왕자 I think that works? I mean it's said in English but y'know.;;)

TALENT TWINS :

▸Vocal: Solji of EXID (Backup: Yuna of AOA)
▸Dance: Yeeun of CLC (Backup: Seunghee of CLC)
▸ Rap: Yujin of CLC, weak rapping is fun
 

TRAINEE YEARS :　Seven years, eight months (Three years @ ORANGEIE, three years, eight months @ NH Media, one year @ Saseum)
 

TRAINEE BACKGROUND :　Nari originally trained in a company named ORANGEIE Ent., a company already known for their five-member boygroup, Storm2.0. They had debuted the previous year with Hot, and surprisingly had done well. Honestly, in the event that her brother did debut, she didn't want to be seen as riding this coattails, and wanted to start with a msaller, but not too small company- Just one that would gather just enough attention. Thus ORANGEIE it was. They weren't particularly harsh with their training, but were very picky with who they allowed as trainees, and she nearly didn't get in. When she did, she was surprised that everything was so relaxed an easy-going, the complete opposite of her older brother's. Just a bit later, she debuted in a group that did well, but had a lot of internal conflict- CoolGirlzzz. She was the main vocalist, along with her leader, and they would go between higher notes. Thanks to a little miss Cho Jangmi, the group was ruined from the inside out. When she got arrested, Nari was kicked to the street. A few months later, she was accapted by NH Media who was unbelievably hard on her, but promised a solo debut if she got two specific plastic surgeries. She knew it wasn't true, but hoped for it, and got them. After no signs of truth, she left after only eight months. Thankfully, a good two years later, she found Saseum Entertainment, who apparently could not have cared less about your past. She was accepted, yet again, as a trainee. They were a good in-between place from NH and ORANGEIE, who ahd been two extremes. She fit in very well, and made friends with many of the other trainees. She showed the best sides of herself and hoped for another chance at debut. That was all she wanted, the chance to go back to the fame she had, that she deserved. And another chance she got.

SCANDALS/ETC :　

Prince of Garden is a Former CoolGirlzzz Member! ▸ While on a variety show, a (Possible) Dal Shabet/T-Ara/9Muses/Stellar member commented that Prince looked very familiar to her- Everyone laughed it off. After a while more, she suddenly stood up and said, "CeCe?" Everyone looked at Prince who pinched her thigh nervously while nodding.  Basically everyone was confused excluding Dal Shabet/T-Ara/9muses/Stellar who were quite aware- Hadn't they promoted at the same time before? Yup, Prince then revealed herself to be a former member of ORANGEIE Ent.'s CoolGirlzzz, the main vocalist and leader in fact. Everyone was really shocked and Garden members had been totally clueless as well. Then an embarassing picture of Prince as CeCe was shown, she sang a little of her debut song, Syndrome, and it was left alone. Since CoolGirlzzz did have some populairty before Jangmi got arrested and they disbanded, the Netizens and fans made a big deal out of it. Nari certainly did have some explaining to do when they got back to the dorm that day, though. ▸ Debut period

Prince of Garden To Sue Stalker! ▸ Listen, she kept up appearances long enough. It wasn't too long after she was revealed to be a member and they had their debut stage that she started to get the creeps often, like someone was always watching her. If she was home alone for whatever reason she would swear she'd hear noises, and she really started to freak out when she would return to the dorm and find her stuff rearranged and stolen. She didn't want to worry her bandmates so she never really said anything, but when she started to get weird comments on Instagram and Twitter, and was certain that that one guy behind us was following her, she finally fessed up to the manager that she kept seeing this guy around (I have no idea who this guy is okay I found him on Google Images--), that he'd show up to their fansigns and performances and that he'd comment gross things on all of her posts and that she would see him on the streets and that her stuff was always getting moved and went missing and finally she said to Jinseok, "He's everywhere and I'm scared." He had a hard time taking it in- Of course it was very possible, propable even that this was happening, but he never thought it would happen to one of his girls. He asked Nari to wait, just a little while longer so he could observe when she was Prince and when she was Nari, see if he would show up more often when she was an idol or just her, what kind of behaviors he had, if he even did what she said he did at all. He finally admitted, yes, he was very real and very dangerous. Finally it was brought to Kyunghan and then the girls and it was decided that she would sue. The last post she made on social media for months was on Instagram, only minutes after the news was released.

@prince_garden_official I will no longer stand for Jung Beom-Soo-ssi's actions. I'm sorry.

.
This was a surprise to the world as it wasn't often that idols would take legal action. Not to mention, her previous posts just hours before seemed very happy. She disappeared from social media after, though she stil did activities, and she was targeted with sympathy, anger, and plainly being told she was weak. It wasn't a very tough battle, surprisingly, thanks to the new laws in Korea. Jung Beom-Soo was fined 18,928,165 won and two years of imprisonment. After this, Saseum stepped up their security measures to make sure all their workers were as safe as they could be. ▸ From around debut to whenever fits with what I wrote.;;

Garden's Prince To Graduate In Light Of Stalker Incident! ▸ Okay, untrue, but only to an extent. Nari never intended to graduate, but it wasn't unfounded. After the sentence was given, Nari was seriously exhausted. She still hadn't posted anything on social media, which was uncomfortable for everyone since she was always the most active. She became very out of it, not eating as much and losing even more sleep, and she looked pretty awful. She even slipped in the shower and sprained her right hand pretty badly. The next week she approached the CEO and asked for six weeks off, to go back to Suncheon and visit her family as well as her old therapist. He couldn't deny her, he knew that she really did need it and decided to do her one better and give her a little over two months off, though he did say that he had no choice but to cut her check smaller when the girls got their first paycheck since she would miss the next round of group promotions. Nari readily agreed and was on her way back home three days later. A representative then announced that Nari "...would be taking an indefinite hiatus to physically and mentally heal." They went so far as to say that she'd broken her wrist instead of spraining it, hoping to cut the backlash that she would undoubtably recieve. The next morning she posted on Instagram and Twitter a picture of a bee she'd taken a few years ago captioned, "Thank you for your support. It's time to fly away~" It was pretty reasonable that people assumed she would graduate, but she just wanted time to see her family again and get over her fear of her fans. Though she missed group promotions, she was active the moment she returned, happy to be working again- She never realized how much she would miss the life, no matter how frustrating, scary, and depriving it was. She was always one for adventure. ▸ After that last scandal, before the next group promotions.

Prince of Garden Addresses Plastic Surgery and Stalking Scandals. ▸ In an interview/variety show, Prince was finally asked about her stalking "scandal." Though she knew someone would do it, she was a bit thrown off and had minor trouble answering. With her leader wrapping a comforting arm around her shoulder, she explained that during activities and during her time off how someone was always following her, how she would come home and her things would be all moved around or missing, and even commented on some of the replies she'd get to her SNS updates. She also said that she was glad she'd taken action and how much happier she had gotten since then. Prince advised victims of stalking to speak up, now more so than ever with the new laws in place. The next comment was pretty harsh, but she took it calmly. "There has been many rumors about you having plastic surgery." She explained that those were true, and admitted to all five of her surgeries. Even the interviewer/host was surprised at how open she was about each one, explaining exactly why she got each one: She had her nose done before her first debut because she was self-conscious, her eyes because she was jealous that her older brother's looked like that naturally, her liposuction because during her last year of high school she was diagnosed with a sudden onset of Lipedema, a disease where fat is unevenly distributed under the skin. She got it for her calves and thighs, even showing her before and after pictures the year following. Nari said that to make sure her legs only continue to get better, she exercises daily and gets special medical massages. She says they're still improving. Nari next explained her forehead injection- The company before Saseum promised her a solo debut if she got it. Clearly, that didn't happen. She didn't clarify which company, only stating Saseum was more than her third company and that ORANGEIE wasn't the one.▸ Late 2016, during either a group comeback or subunit debut/comeback

~Probably more later I dunno~

think fast

why did you want to be an idol? : 

▸ I think it was something I really wanted since I was little. No one really seemed to notice, but I really loved singing since I was young and would play with my older brother. I always admired everyone who worked that hard achieve their dream, even if I didn't show it. I love how to feels to be on stage and I love how it feels to perform.

why did you pick saseum entertainment? : 

▸ I'll be entirely honest with you- Saseum wasn't my first choice. I tried to get into many companies but none would accept me. I applied for Saseum and five other companies within the same week, and I had very few after that to try out for- Three, in fact. Saseum was near the bottom of my list, but no one else wanted me. I found out, though, at Saseum was just the company I had been looking for. They didn't care about my history, they didn't care about my looks, then only wanted me for my talent and impression. I'm more than glad I auditioned.

which sunbae do you admire most?: 

▸ Out of the entirety of the KPOP world, I would have to say that I admire Yuju of GFriend. She's a lot younger than me, and technically my hoobae, but her technique is amazing, and at the 2015 Dream Concert, she was the only one that still danced passionately- That's why she fell so much. I admire her as a person and I admire her as a vocalist and dancer. She's truly amazing!

anything you'd like to say to me, the ceo?: 

▸ Just- Thank you so much for giving me my final opportunity. I'm at the age cap of debut and I really, really wanted to be on stage again and it was you that could put me there. So I'm grateful to you more than almost anyone- Like I said, thanks.

Layni17 : Tsuki

LAST WORDS :　

Okay so I went between three ideas and finally chose my original one. This isn't really what I do, so I think this is strange for both of us?? By the way, I have no idea if the stalking laws have been put into action yet but they're supposed to so I'm just going for it, you know?

I dunno if using the stage name Prince is disrespectful considering tht one guy died but this has been in my inventory to use for a while, so-- Anyways, her backups are Chrome and Scarlet. Honestly I don't like her as much as Eunbyeol, she's just kinda...Alright. That's a lie I kinda hate Nari, she's not well put-together and I hate her, the only good thing about her is the whole stalker thing, otherwise I legit couldn't be less happy. She felt like work, not a hobby so I'm pissed. >_>


수나리

SUGGESTIONS :　Okay so I dunno which subunit she would be in, but I have suggestions for two for her period of absence. Iris: Sugar, Blossom, Short Hair, Dark Circle, Cry Again (To be honest I don't like most  of these but--), Violet: Domino Game, 4 Walls, I'm In Love, Love and Remember, Thank U Very Much.
