PERSONALITY TRAITS — (+) optimistic, adaptable, capable, caring/warm | (-) slacker, stubborn, bossy, impatient
ELABORATION —
• (+) optimistic - being a happy child ever since she was young, soojin brightly faces all consequences ahead of her. maybe because she grew up in a family that always smile that she brought it along with her for her life.
• (+) adaptable - if soojin is to boast one special talent, that would be her fast adaptation. she's a fast learner and she can adjust to her environment well. she can learn what is taught to her only in a few tries.
• (+) capable - for as long as she knows she can do the favor, you can freely ask her for anything. she usually takes care of her members like they're her own children. she would cook for them, order for them whenever they eat outside, except for household chores.
• (+) caring/warm - despite being cold on the outside appearance, soojin is actually pretty warm in the inside. she likes cuddling so much, she would kiss her members on the cheeks even without special reason, or give them chldish nicknames randomly.
• (-) slacker - laziness is moon soojin. this is what her friends and family members complain about her. she might be very diligent when it comes to practicing but soojin hates doing chores. she would pout and stomp her feet whenever she was asked to do favors. she hates exhausting energy in general.
• (-) stubborn - maybe because she's the youngest in the family that soojin's very stubborn, she would insist her point, do the things she wants without hesitations, and would not care whatever others say. simple as that.
• (-) bossy - part of being lazy is to ask anyone around you the stuffs that you should be doing, this is soojin's second favorite thing to do after sleeping. she kinda passes her chores to others, using her cold aegyo or her clingy attitude to pacify the other members into doing her task in the house.
• (-) impatient - this is just a mild trait but soojin doesn't like waiting much. she's very impatient and that being said, she likes doing things fast and quick so she can rest soon.

• 2004, busan, south korea - their research for asian cuisines became successful and brought more income to their business, the daughters also began studying and were both very diligent about it. junhee would help in the restaurant during the weekends but soojin would prefer to stay at home and read her books. she would lie on her bed all day and do nothing, which was why she and her sister would always fight.
• 2011, busan, south korea - in 2011, soojin's sister, junhee moved to seoul to continue her tertiary education as an engineering student in seoul national university. proud of her, soojin once again admired her sister's achievement and wished to be like her in her craft. still, she stayed with her parents in busan and was forced to help in the restaurant while studying classical music in busan arts high school.
• 2014 to present, seoul, south korea - soon after graduating high school, soojin moved to seoul to accomplish her training. it was when she was street casted by a pledis representative and was pursuaded until she agreed. her parents were against her being separated from them at first, but since it is what she wanted, her parents supported her and let her stay with her sister in an apartment in gangnam. soojin diligently traveled from their joint house to pledis everyday just to practice. now, she's only waiting for the debut that she's been dreaming of.
FAMILY —
• father - moon soohan (48) - bank clerk/restaurant owner - disciplinarian, strict, generous - soojin is closer to her dad than to her mom. her dad gives her everything she requests and would do it without hesitations. she likes hugging him, kissing his cheek, and would always cling to him when given a chance. she's not shy to show off her close relationship with hm to other people.
• mother - han sooyoung (45) - certified public accountant - compliant, caring, thoughtful - her mom is the loveliest in soojin's eyes. she admires her very much because she's not only beauty but also kindness and intelligence. sometimes she would feel intimidated by her own mother, but soojin still loves her for she's the best.

• best friend - choi minki / ren (21) - idol (nu'est) - quiet, playful, funny - unlike jimin, minki is more of the quiet-until-you-know-me kind of guy. he debuted even before soojin entered pledis but that didn't stop them from being close. in fact, soojin is a fan of nu'est. they call each other by the name comfortably, and she never called him 'sunbae' also because minki refused to. they're very open to skinship too, and they use informal language.
• best friend - plotline #13 (n/a) - maknae (seventeen) - (n/a) - maybe because she wanted a younger sibling that she's very fond of this member. this maknae is soojin's favorite among her members; favorite to cuddle, favorite to kiss, and favorite to get clingy with. she's like soojin's human teddy bear whom she always tells her life about.
• room mate - random plotline (n/a) - random member - (n/a) - the title says it all, they're very close because they've been roommates since the formation of seventeen. she understands soojin the most when it comes to her phobia to darkness so she gave her a small battery-operated lamp light so she could sleep even with the room's lights off. they have the same taste in food and they're very comfortable with each other.
