who I am

PERSONALITY TRAITS: 
Positive: Determined, sincere, passionate, self-discliplined
Negative: Obsessive, harsh, short-tempered, intolerant

PERSONALITY:

Seoyeon is determined when it comes to her work. So determined that sometimes it becomes obsessive. She will often stay several nights at the studio to perfect a dance routine or rap sequence. In this obsession, she will contastly show her dance routine or rap sequence to everyone else, asking if there was any mistake or if she needed to put more emphasis on any part. Unfortunately, sometimes, this can lead to her being careless with other work due to all the focus on the one part. An example of this would be when she got so into her perfecting her dance routine that she forgot to start her rap seuqence.
Seoyeon is passionate about her work. Even though she had only starting to become passionate about music when she became a trainee, she nonetheless wants Arora to deliver the best performances, to the best of the team's ability, no matter the amount of effort needed. Seoyeon's desire for perfection can often lead to her being harsh to the other Arora members. She can sometimes be seen scolding other members who may have not put in as much effort into their part or have made a mistake.
Seoyeon is a self-disclipined person, and can often mask her nerves before going on a stage to perform. She also is one of the earliest to get up in the morning, and does not slack off on exercising and any other commitments she may have. Her habit of sticking to a rigid routine that she has made for herself (and sometimes for some of the other members) can lead to her being very short-tempered and intolerant with some of the other members of Arora. 
Besides Seoyeon's love for her work, she is also a sincere and thoughtful person. She often practises with other members who may play similar performance roles to her. 

BACKGROUND: 

Kim Seoyeon was born and raised in Busan, South Korea. She was generally a quiet and obedient only child who was loved by her parents. She started dancing when she was 7 in ballet, and switched over to hip-hop when she was 10, a decision she pitched to her parents, who readily agreed with her. She knew she wanted a career in dance, so she decided to audition for JYP when she was 15.

RELATIONSHIPS: 

✩ Friend - Im Nayeon (20) / Idol (Member of Twice) /  Bubbly, friendly, sweet / Close friends
Nayeon and Seoyeon first met in a practice room the two has frequented often as trainees. She was much more outgoing compared to Seoyeon, and allowed Seoyeon to open up. The two would always have lipsync and dance battles with each other and would occassionally get into trouble, but they were always together. Many trainees knew of their close friendship, though many still apporached Nayeon rather than Seoyeon. Nayeon is aware of her shyness and encourages her to have courage. When Seoyeon tells her that she'll be transferring to Bighit, she has a mixed reaction as she knows that Seoyeon, skill-wise, will be much better off there, but knows that she will miss her a lot. They've continued to keep contact even after Twice and Arora's debuts.

✩ Friend - Lia Kim (29) / Choreographer (JYP) / Supportive, friendly / Close (teacher-student friendship)
Lia was Seoyeon's dance teacher throughout her last 2 years in JYP. Lia first noticed her dancing skills after Seoyeon was required to freestyle a dance routine. Seoyeon gradually became one of her favourite students due to her never-ending perserverance and her natural ability to freestyle. Lia had a feeling that Seoyeon was always underestimating herself, and always encouraged her to train as an idol rather than just a dancer. Seoyeon would always never agree, since she had been told that she was not suited to be an idol when she first entered JYP.
When Seoyeon had been struggling to think of a dance routine for her next dance evaluation (and consequently was heavily crictised for her lackluster dance routine) Lia realised that her dancing style would perfectly suit Bighit's. She knew that the lackluster dance routine would keep her from being able to partcipate in any large JYP projects for some time, and that much of her talents were being wasted in JYP. This final incident was an indicator to Lia that Seoyeon should be transferred to Bighit, and so Seoyeon was transferred under her referral. 
Seoyeon unfortunately was unable to keep contact with Lia due to the rushed transfer. She eventually is able to meet her again through some of her friends in JYP after her debut and fully expresses her gratefulness to Lia.

✩ Friend - Park Jimin (20) / Idol (Member of BTS) / Shy, hyper, considerate / Close friends
Jimin and Seoyeon first met when she asked him to team up for a dance evaluation they had to do, having been impressed by his dancing. After founding out they were the same age and similar interests, they became friends quickly. Seoyeon likes to as if he was a little brother due to her being slightly older than him. Other trainees would describe their relationship as a confusing combination of older sister/young brother and same-age friends. To counter her teasing, Jimin likes to pair up with Taehyung (V from BTS) to scare her with the things she hates the most, namely, butterflies, horror movies and sannakji. Jimin is the one to subtly encourage Seoyeon to talk to Namjoon as he is aware of her crush on him despite her having never told anyone. They continue to keep contact after BTS and Arora's debut. 

who I'll be

STAGE NAME: Dani
POSITION: Main dancer, sub rapper, sub vocalist (#4)
BACKUP POSITION: Lead rapper, lead dancer (#3)
STAGE PERSONA: Dani exudes passion and charisma on-stage. She can sometimes be so lost in a dance or rap routine that she doesn't notice her surroundings. 
VARIETY PERSONA: Dani is awful at aegyo often avoids it. She lets the other members show off their talents over her own. She can be seen hugging her knees or physically cringing whenever her members do or say something cringeworthy or embarrassing. She is quiet and gives off a "mysterious" vibe. However, she is not afraid to assist her members if she feels there is an awkward atmopshere and someone needs to help out a member.

PRODUCTION TALENT: Dani was a dancer before being anything, so it only makes sense that she helps out with chreographing dance routines for the group. She can also compose and write lyrics, but still struggles a lot with it.

TRAINING PERIOD: 6 years

TRAINEE LIFE: 

Seoyeon passed JYP auditions and trained only as a dancer for three years. She was told that she was not suited for rapping nor singing, and should focus on her strongest point, dance, only. Many other trainees admired her hardworking attitude, but many also did not approach her as they found her intimidating. As a result, she only had a few friends.
A close friend that Seoyeon made while in JYP realised her potiental to be an idol after hearing her try out rapping and singng, and recommended her to Bighit Entertainment, where she would be able to utilise both her strong dancing and budding rapping skills. 
She transferred to Bighit, where not only was she trained in dancing, rapping and singing, but also in composing and songwriting. She was intimidated and scared, because she had transferred out from JYP, a company of the Big 3, where it her friends were and where she was comfortable in. She had potiental in rapping, but she was nowhere near good enough for kpop standards, let alone Bighit standards. She watched GLAM and BTS debut and cheered them on, knowing some of them personally. With GLAM, she was devastated to hear of their disbandment and attempted to contact them to know what was going on. She congratulated BTS personally over text when they won #1 with I NEED U. She was scared that she would never debut and kept practising and pushing herself until it was confirmed she would be in Arora.
