height & weight: 165cm & 50kg

STYLE

growing up ryu ju has always been the type to always dress up and try to look her best no matter what the occasion is. she always wants look her best when she goes out in public and always wants to leave an impression. her overall style can always vary from simple/casual, classy, cute or super y, etc. no one can really ever pinpoint what type of style she has bc she doesn't have a certain style, she just wears whatever and goes along with it as long as she doesn't ever look trashy. she doesn't like looking at her worse so instead of taking that extra ten or fifteen minutes of sleep, she'll wake up early just to get ready and look her best no matter what. the only time she's ever seen looking her worse is when she's chilling with her family, or at her friends or just simply at her company. and when people say her worse, it just means like her hair is sometimes messy, no makeup, she just throws on some random sweater and shorts or etc.

PERSONALITY

ryu ju had always grown up with the mindset of, "treat others how you want to be treated." so she's always been an honest and loyal person to the majority of her friends. she's never backstabbed them (unless they did her dirty) or hurt them (possibly not on purpose). she cherishes her friends a lot and always put them before herself. her honesty always comes off as rude sometimes because she's outspoken and speaks her mind a lot and sometimes people don't enjoy that. but she's always honest with others about her feelings, thoughts, advices, etc because she would want them to be honest with her. sometimes she doesn't really get bothered it hurts others feelings. she's also very selfless, when it comes to her friends and family, she always put others before her bc she always thought others mattered more than her. you'll always see that she's the first to offer a helping hand no matter how hard the favor is. she also enjoys doing things for others and never wants anything in return. she's usually the one surprising her friends with gifts too. she's quite humorous (not really). she loves to spout things to try and make people laugh even though her jokes are so corny. she's always pulling dumb jokes left and right for example: "how does a vampire girl flirt guys? by batting her eyes, omg im so funny hahaha."

however, she can sometimes be a little over the top. her negative side is one huge flaw that majority people don't like, "the bad outweighs the good." and that's how some people see her as, the bad rather than the good. she's quite short-tempered, she gets very angered easily - it may make her seem sensitive but she really isn't. she hates when others are acting childish or annoying around her when she's not in the mood or busy, etc. but if it wasn't over little things like that, she gets quite angry when people offend her, insult her, or tries to pick a fight with her. she'll go from 0-100 real quick. she'll sometimes try to keep calm and civil before yelling or arguing and etc. she's very impatient, she wants things done quick clean and easy and hates waiting around. once she's finished with something, she's ready to move onto the next task. she's also irrational at sometimes, it's such a bad flaw and it gets her into trouble at times. she doesn't ever think before she does things. she just does it and sometimes forgets that there are consequences that go along with it. she's very loud sometimes, like your talking voice could be her whispering voice. she doesn't really know how to handle it that well. amongst family or friends, if someone speaks louder - she'll try to speak louder, but she doesn't realize it sometimes. 

BACKGROUND

'92-'97 | jung ryu ju was born the 31st of may 1992, in gwangju, south korea. to two loving parents, with two older siblings, a brother and sister. growing up, she was quite the handful to take care of. she was such a rascal, a huge troublemaker. she was always the type to go outside and have fun, she'd be ok if her parents left her with a stranger or another family member to take care of if it meant she could have more fun than staying at home with her parents. she was always making ruckus in the house, drawing on walls, taking the fish out of the tank to "save it" and accidentally die. her age difference with her siblings weren't bad or that far off, however, she just didn't hang out with them as often because all three were just different in their own ways. 

'97-'06 | from ages 5-14, were her great childhood years. in school, she was pretty outgoing, friends with almost everyone. in 2003, when she was eleven - she watched her older brother, yunho perform his first debut stage. she was so proud of him, she didn't really spend much time growing up either not only because of their personality differences but because he was always busy training at the company and she rarely saw him. she only saw him during special holidays. but she went to school proud of her brother anyways and told everyone that her brother was Yunho of DBSK. seeing her brother pursue his dream, she wanted to pursue a dream like that too. maybe not singing but something else - something that could get her name known. 

'06-'11 | she always loved learning and learning about other cultures, but she was like "i don't wanna learn english, since everyone knows it." each of the three had their own path, one was a famous singer, one was a popular ulzzang and she was just her. when she was fourteen, she had begged her parents to go study abroad. they couldn't really trust her because she was such a mess to take care of sometimes and didn't want to put that burden on some foreign parents taking care of their child for a few years. eventually she was able to convince her parents through the help of yunho and her high school years were all spent in france. she grew fluent and fell very much in love with the country and culture. the foreign family that were taking care of her had actually spoiled her very much only because the two couples couldn't have a kid, so having to take care of one while they studied for a few years, they were quite content and loved ryu ju very much. 

'11 - present | her foreign parents were upset the day they found out she was leaving. she probably would have stayed longer, probably finish college in france too. however, during those years in france, she had been taking up acting classes just for fun. and in her fifth year of staying in france, she had sent an audition tape to the popular acting agency, Sidus HQ. And had a reply of acceptance. But she decided that it was finally to head back home and reach her dreams and goals. she came back to korea in march 2011, from there on, she was beginning more of her auditions and training to become an even better actress. within that same year, she was casted her very first sitcom, high kick 3. she lived with her parents the firt two years before moving out and over the past years, she has grown as an actress and is very well liked within the industry.

​look at me now mom!

CHILD

FIRST MEETING WITH CHILD
it starts off with ryu ju sitting at a park with her close friend woo bin and ji won, they were just sitting and chatting away imagining what type of child her kid would be like. "what if she is just like ryu ju? a mini ryu ju?" ji won commented. "god, i'd pray for the husband a million times, she is such a handful." woo bin rolled his eyes. the three shared a laugh. the PD ends up giving her a small card, giving her hints of where to find her husband and child. "well, good luck, 'mom'!" woo bin and ji won said, as they waved her good bye, leaving her alone to just sit on the bench. she sat, and scrunched her hands nervously. "well... can't keep people waiting." she mumbled and headed towards the address on the card. as she ended up at a small hello kitty cafe, "haha, hello kitty!" she looked at the camera and squealed. "how embarassing for my husband to be seen here, this probably isn't manly for him." she joked and smiled. she opened the door and went in. She sat down, not really knowing what to do, "i should go order drinks for him and my child, that's polite." she said and went over to order something to drink and heard the door chime. she saw a tall man walk in, a celebrity, an idol. "oh, that's bang yongguk!" she pointed. "i wonder what he's doing at a place like this," she giggled again. after she had gotten the drinks, she set it down at the table. waiting to meet her husband and child. she looked over, seeing yongguk sit alone. looking around awkwardly, she sparked a conversation. "hey! rongguk, remember me?" she smiled. he nodded and recognized her instantly. before she could say anything else, she noticed a small baby blue envelope that was poking out of his coat. she had received the same envelope from the pd. "oh, I have that... envelope too." she mumbled. he looked at her and took it out, leading the two to find out they were paired up with each other. within the next minute, coming up towards the two was a small little girl with her mom. "hello, you're bang yongguk and jung ryu ju, right?" the mother asked. "yes," they both nodded at the same time. "hello! i'm kang lily's mom!" she smiled brightly. "and this is my daughter, also now your daughter." seeing a little kid, made ryu ju jump a bit, she loved little kids a lot and so did yongguk. immediately, ryu ju handed her the drink that she had bought for lily while waiting. lily immediately hid behind her mom, "i don't like them." she said. yongguk and ryu ju both sheepishly smiled, not knowing what to say. 

INTERACTIONS WITH MOM
it's hard for lily and ryu ju to get along at first, lily doesn't like to be around strangers and she did not want to be around ryu ju no matter how kind she was or how much she spoiled her. lily would mess around and be a trouble maker around the house, ryu ju didn't mind this whatsoever. she'd sometimes be the person that would lead lily into making a ruckus around the home. "c'mon, you can draw on the walls and we'll paint them over again, does that sound ok??" ryu ju said. she'd do anything just so lily could warm up to her. of course, lily agreed and at the end of the day, they pulled out paint to fix up the wall. lily doesn't hate her, she's just not comfortable with strangers. but will come to her if she wants someone to play with or watch tv. overtime she just ends up warming up to ryu ju. 

INTERACTIONS WITH DAD
lily not having a father was a bit hard on yongguk. he didn't know how he was supposed to act and didn't know if it would hurt her if he mentioned anything related. so he tries his very best to care for her, nourish her and often play with her. lily likes yongguk a lot more, which ryu ju wouldn't mind, as long as she ends up being okay with the two no matter what. he would brush her hair and sing along with her and do whatever she likes so that she's happy. but it does take him aback when he sees how much of a little monster she is when she's just playfully messing around and getting into trouble.
