personality traits {+} Outgoing, Humble, Dorky, Passionate {-} Perfectionist, Selfless, Independent, Blunt
personality

— "Carpe Diem!" Everyday, Eunjae works with carpe diem as her mantra. She doesn't like waisting any time and tries her best to be productive whenever she can. If her situation begins to look tough, she reminds herself that even if she's facing hardships at that moment, tomorrow will be a new day. Her outlook in life is very positive and loves to look on the brighter side of things. It's her "can do" attitude that led her into getting a lotus flower as her tattoo. Because of the flower's meaning, she runs her life by always having an open-mind to things and tries to look at all sides of the equasion. 
— "Always shine. Shine as bright as the sun." Ever since she was young, she always had this bright personality to her that immediately drew people towards her. She had this aura that made her really easy to approach. Eunjae is very friendly with everyone and loves to make a lot of friends. Her favorite past time is to joke around with her friends and loves to tease them with endless remarks. She also loves to pull pranks once in a while whenever she's in the mood and you can always find her smiling.
— "Stay Hungry, Stay Humble" Another mantra that Eunjae goes by. With all her time in the dance community, whether it'd be in the USA or in Korea, she noticed that as more people began to be successful, the more they strayed away from her roots. She always likes to remind everyone around her to never forget their roots and to always be thankful of how successful and blessed they are at any moment. She loves to encourage others and also give sincere advice to those that always come to her for advice. Eunjae never loses her head if she wins at dance battles or competitions, she will always acknowledge her competitors and spread good vibes to those around her.
— "I won't stop until it's to my satisfaction." Eunjae tends to be a perfectionist whenever it comes to herself and the arts. Whenever she's running rehearsals, she makes sure that the routine is flawless, down to the littlest of details. If one person is off by even a little bit whether it'd be if a person's hand was off by an inch or even if they couldn't match the level of their team mates, then she will call them out. Everything needs to be flawless and up to her expectations and she will continue to revise it until she thinks it's good enough. All of her things need to be orderly and organized in order for her to function correctly as well. This kind of thinking often leads her to overthink everything and tends to get highly emotional. She'll either immediately close herself off to control herself or her temper will run short and she'll begin to snap at those around her without realizing it.
— "A loving, outgoing introvert." Since she's been a trainee, Eunjae has always been used to being by herself. Because of her passion and drive to debut as soon as she could, She tends to be very independent and doesn't like to lean on other people too much. She'll see herself as a burden and prefers to keep to herself. Eunjae forgets that she can lean on those that have trained along side her who have now become her members rather than being stuck in her own world. She'll always put the ones she cares about first and won't hesitate to drop what she's doing in order to help a friend out. Most of the time she's too selfless to look after herself and makes sure those around her are happy and forgets to do her own things she wishes to do. Eunjae will bottle things up until it gets too overwhelming for her and usually has a mental breakdown in her room. 
— "Well here's what I have to say..." Because of her natural social-like personality, she won't hesitate to put her input on things. She hates it when someone triest to beat around the bush with her. She'll be truthful and upfront with people if she needs to be whether it'd be she's talking to someone she's close with or someone she's just casually talking to. Sometimes, she doens't even know her limits or when to stop talking when she's hurt someone. Her replies tend to be taken the wrong way because she tends to be very sarcastic/witty at times. 

background

— Living the American Dream

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Eunjae lived a pretty good lifestyle. Before she was born, her parents decided to move to the US from Busan, in hopes of having a better life for their daughter. Her father managed to open up a traditional Korean restaurant in the heart of LA, where Koreatown is located. At night, their restaurant would turn into a street food stall where they would offer the different types of streetfoods you would find along the streets back in Korea. Her parents are very loving and supportive with whatever dreams that she chased.

—  Dance is who I am

Since everything was so easily accessible in LA, there were many things that had caught Eunjae's attention growing up. She never really stuck to anything. She tried playing sports, but she quickly got tired of it. Eunjae tried playing an instrument, she couldn't sit still all the time. But at the age of eleven, she was introduced to dance when her best friend asked if she wanted to come along with her to a dance class that he had found interesting. Seeing as there was nothing else to do, Eunjae gladly went along with him and they took a workshop at IDA Hollywood. It was something that was out of her comfort zone, but something that she really enjoyed doing. Eunjae also found it as an outlet whenever things got to overwhelming for her. Seeing that it was something that came natural to her, she consistently trained herself while her best friend pursued more of singing. Eunjae had fallen in love with the art and enjoyed the way the music took over her body. She eventually became a regular and a part of the studio's dance team. Her best friend and classmates would always deem her as "the dancing machine" of her friend group because she'd never stop moving or dancing. Eunjae grew to be known in the LA dance community and she had even got invited to perform a solo at one of the well-known junior competitions in the area when she was fourteen. Since there were so many studios in LA, she trained with a goal to be versatile dancer.

— Family always comes first, along with new beginnings.

When she was fifteen, Eunjae and her family had to move back to Korea because her grandmother on her mom's side had fallen ill. Because of her mom being an only child, they had to go back home to help take care of her. Her father planned to also open up his own restaurant after the move. They moved back to their old neighborhood where her mother was reunited with her best friend and her daughter, Choi Hyojin. Once Hyojin found out that Eunjae was a dancer, she introduced her to the Korean dance community. It was Hyojin that became her mentor in Korea and helped her adjust to the Korean lifestyle. Every day after her classes, Eunjae would attend all the classes and often spent her time making friends with the underground community. It was there that she found her crew members: Cho Haru, Kwon Minhee, and Jung Jihoon. They were the people she was closest to in the community and one day decided to make a crew while hanging out with them. the four of them soon became known as Playm8. Their name came to be because they're all mates and love to have fun. It also became a play on Jihoon's personality because he's a playboy and loves to flirt with other girls so the four of them would always joke around saying it's based on Jihoon as their mascot and the girls are the mates, like Playboy. They danced on the streets by doing dance covers of the hottest songs in the K-pop scene and competed in local, underground, and neighborhood dance competitions. They're also familiar faces that people would see on the class footage that 1Million would post on their Youtube Channel and would use the studio as their practice space. 

—  Me? You want me as a trainee?

After one of Playm8's performances at the Han River, she and her crew members were being congratulated as the second place winner when a talent scout had approached them. He had his eyes specifically on Eunjae and had told her that there was something about her that could make her a potential idol and handed her information about Blue Moon Entertainment's upcoming auditions. He further asked her questions about her dance history before encouraging her to do it and left. Her members were very supportive of her and wanted her to do it because it was an offer that doesn't come by. She was iffy at first, but Jihoon reminded her of their constant conversations of what it would be like to perform in front of thousands of people. Her dream was to constantly be on stage and they had often said that being an idol was an ideal life because you were always recreating and pushing yourself as an artist while getting to travel around the world and being constantly on stage. So, Eunjae brought it up to her family and they was all for it. Hyojin was proud of her and introduced her to her childhood friends: Hoya and Feeldog, who were also idols, to look after her.  A couple weeks later, Eunjae attended the audition at the age of sixteen and passed.

— Mentor/Older Sister Figure • Choi Hyojin / 25 / choreographer / spunky, outgoing / 9.5 / She looks up to her as an inspiration/older sister and Hyojin is the one that constantly pushes her to evolve and grow as a dancer. Whenever they're together, they become so loud that Hoya and Feeldog often try their best to shut the two up. But with both of their outgoing personalities, there's no stopping them. Hyojin is who she goes to whenever she needs advice.

— Older Brother Figure • Lee Howon (Hoya) / 25 / Infinite Member / witty, playful / 8.5 / He's always constantly teasing her about her height and often jokes around with her. Whenever Eunjae hangs out with Hoya, she can never stop laughing because of how quick he is to retort and react to things. The two are always bickering at each other and would often place bets to see who would be the winner.

— Older Brother Figure • Oh Gwangseok (Feeldog) / 25 / Bigstar Member / caring, affectionatel / 8.5 / Eunjae's safe haven whenever she's together with the three of them: Hoya, Feeldog, and Hyojin. While Hyojin and Hoya are often teasing her or playing around with her, she'd always go to Gwangseok whenever she needs to chill down. Although he is quite playful himself, the two often like to casually hang out at cafes and have heart to heart conversations. 

— Crew Member • Jung Jihoon / 21 / Playm8 Member/DJ / flirty, cheeky / 9 / He was the first person that she met in the underground community and immediately tried to flirt with her. Eunjae was easily flustered and this made him want to constantly tease the girl. The two became close after their first encounter with Jihoon breaking the ice and gets on her nerves. He's a student, along with Minhee and Eunjae at Seoul University. Their relationship is like Tom and Jerry but at the end of the day, they deeply care about each other. Because they are so close to each other, they would occasionally collaborate with each other for choreography. Some of their friends within the community would often mistake them for a couple which Eunja would immediately deny even if everyone ships them. { x x } {fc: lee jongsuk} 

— Crew Member • Kwon Minhee / 19 / Playm8 Member/Choreographer / sassy, confident / 9 /  Also met through the underground community, Minhee is the moodmaker of the crew and she would often help Eunjae with choreography whenever she needed it. The two are like yin and yang. They balance each other out with Minhee as the more calmer one between the two. She's who Eunjae goes to talk to that guys can't relate to if Hyojin is busy. Minhee is usually the first one to notice if something's wrong with Eunjae and tries her best to be there for her. {fc: twice's momo}

— Crew Member • Cho Haru / 17 / Playm8 Member/High School Student / quiet, shy / 9 / Haru is the maknae of the group and the last to be recruited for Playm8.

trainee life

— After passing the auditions in 2013, her trainee years were an eye opener to her when she finally got see just how cut-throat it was to be one. It had woken up the competitive drive in her and she constantly pushed herself to become the best artist she could be. She worked hard day and night, never wanting to fall behind from the rest. She had entered with mainly dance as her strong point and had a lot to make up for her singing and rapping abilities. As time went by, her rapping improved because it was always something Eunjae was deeply interested in. Hiphop culture is very popular in LA and with constant hiphop music playing over the radio/having most of her biases in the industry as rappers, it was something that she wished to accomplished. Eunjae eventually found her own style and flow when it came to rapping. Although she's pretty young, her lyrics have a certain depth to them. Since singing was her weakness, she had often gotten criticized the most for that portion of training. She was known to take whatever critiques were given to her and improve by the next monthly evaluation. Eunjae would usually be one of the last ones to leave because even if she was really good at dancing, she would always practice everything by herself until she's satisfied with her personal recordings due to her perfectionist personality. 

She got along with trainees and always tried to liven up the room because it was her way to ease the tension in the common tense atmosphere. Most of the time, Eunjae would try her best to stay out of the drama that would sometimes spark between the other trainees from time to time. If she were to pick a side, Eunjae would always stay on neutral grounds and ignore the gossip to practice. But even as a trainee, Eunjae tried her best to keep up with Playm8 activities because without them, she wouldn't have been where she was at the moment.
