personality

CHARACTER TRAITS /
POSITIVE | Tough, Brave, Rational and Independent.
NEGATIVE | Choleric: Extrovert and Proud, Prudent and Dominant.
ELABORATION /
♔ TOUGH: She is known for being strong and determined, hence, gaining the recognition of being a tough lady, as she knows how to tolerate difficulty and suffering on her own. She's the type of person to want to achieve something by means of being tough as she remains determined and doesn't give up; whatever the situation incurs, even when there are difficulties or problems.
♔ BRAVE: She's also known for not backing down from any challenges, especially not without a fight. One, don't get started with her members, friends, or anyone close to her heart. Her friends and members most importantly are her babies no metter how old they are (or older than her, in some cases), don't you dare lay any finger on them, or you'll have to face her, their mother hen. She doesn't hurt somebody physically, as said before. But her words could cut like a knife on somebody's whole being. If you want to be safe, just.don't.hurt.her.babies. (OH AND TALK WHEN SHE'S AROUND. NOT BEHIND HER BACK. BECAUSE SHE HATES IT WHEN SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO TALK ON HER FACE.) But with every person comes a difficult characteristic. That's where her sassy self butts in. Yes, she may not talk much, but once you get on her bad side, you'll never hear the end of it. That's how fierce this lady is. You wouldn't want to get on her bad side or else she'll leave you regretting the day you were born.
♔ RATIONAL: Mirae uses facts and reasons as her basis to make judgments. She makes decisions, statements, or judgments using reasoned thinking, based on facts and doesn't base anything on rumors, hence, doesn't act on impulse all the time.
♔ INDEPENDENT: Mirae is a confident, self-motivated lady who takes responsibility for her actions and never blames the rest of the world for her mistakes or her downfalls. Also, she's the type of lady who pays her own bills (you could ask Gray! Kkkk), buys her own things, and doesn't allow a man to affect her stability and self-confidence. She supports herself entirely on her own and is proud to be able to do so.
-
♔ CHOLERIC: Being a choleric includes being proud and extrovert. Meaning, she believes that it's important to 'say things as they are', to be bluntly honest on her opinions than sugar-coating words. She speaks her mind, yes, but often forgets to mind her speech. Her pride and drive for dominance, as well as her open expression of emotion, naturally leads to outright aggression when challenged. She, when pushed too hard, will raise her voice and get angry to show that she is the strongest, and to assert superiority. She is pragmatic, doing what needs to be done bluntly rather than worrying about fantasy scenarios. She generally believes that she is right, and have immense stubbornness about admitting her flaws, UNLESS admitting these flaws would make her look better than others ("I'm strong enough to admit I'm wrong, unlike you").
She can be a great, supportive friend who'd take a bullet for those close to her, unless you get on her bad side, in which case she'll try her best to 'rub your nose into the dirt'. It is important to her that she's strong and courageous, not afraid of anything. If she's afraid, they will deny it (again, unless admitting it makes her look strong). She will 'rise to the challenge', in order to prove herself, and look for opportunities to do so. It's important for her to be tough and strong. As a choleric, she strives for independence, because to be dependent is to rely on others, to not be in the superior position. Dependence is weakness. She is 'thick-skinned' in a way, in many cases bulletproof against the criticisms of others, able to shrug or laugh them off.
♔ DOMINANT: Mirae words things with confidence and certainty. Compare "Itaewon is this way" to "maybe Itaewon is this way, or something?". She's firm and forceful in her approach to problems. She also believes in 'tough love', and try to 'help' others by challenging them to prove themselves, as she herself would. If met by opposition, she reacts confrontational to defend herself. Because she's constantly trying to be 'dominant' in every situation, subconsciously, she does in either by being louder and better than those around her, or more restrained and therefore superior to those who lose their cool. Her confidence and demanding natures makes her a natural leader; she's more likely to take charge if necessary rather than fumbling around worrying. She will 'challenge' others aggressively in order to show her respect for the person's strength. She believes that it is important to 'prove oneself'. She says things like "if anyone tries to mess with me, I make them wish they'd never started on me in the first place". She loves competition... but hate to lose. Words like 'hot-blooded', 'brash', 'domineering', 'overbearing', might be used to describe her domineering temperament.
♔ PRUDENT: Mirae is prudent in a way that (because she's choleric), she wants everything to be perfect for her taste. It becomes a negative trait when she becomes too controlling, or becomes too much of a perfectionist, though she tries to lessen this sometimes.
Shows a tough persona but deep inside, all she wants is to be loved and cared for. According to her co-trainees and friends, she is very well known for having a strong personality. She is mostly direct to the point and doesn't go all i'm-giving-you-a-sign-so-notice-it.
She is very sensitive and care for other people more than herself. She is very frank and doesn't hesitate to speak out her mind but makes sure that it doesn't sound so much like an insult or an overreacting comment. Mirae is confident and doesn't care about the hate other girl trainees give her in her past as a former trainee, instead, she used their hate as her fuel to keep her going on and learning more to prove to the other trainees that she isn't what they think who she is.

Despite being young, she has a sense of leadership in her and is very dependable and responsible. (By: GDragon of BIGBANG, when he became her coach way back.)

 ♔ How she acts off stage and offcam: Mirae seems really strong but her heart is really soft. She always think of others before herself and she's really sweet. She's good at taking care of others. She seems really serious about all things but she laughs easily, innocently and goodheartedly at almost every legit thing. Very easy-going.
 ♔ How she acts on-stage: She treats the stage as a second home. She makes sure her moves are perfect, her voice is conditioned and her appearance is one of the best. She gives off a cool vibe and a very mysterious aura when she steps onstage. People who don't know her that well thinks she's arrogant and rude. She also has a bottle of swag everywhere she goes. Its like, when she walks, the word 'SWAG' trails behind her feet. Charisma is always with her wherever she goes, it's like the word 'CHARISMA' and 'SWAG' are her shadows.
 ♔ How she acts around her friends: She's very caring and has a sweet spot for all of her friends. Heck, it's like she's taking care of her children. She won't even let mosquitoes near them. Very understanding and calm, she does what a rational person does. Doesn't take any side, thus, tries to solve the problem without taking one's side to avoid injustice.

BACKGROUND / 

♔ Born in Haidian Dist., Beijing, CHN, her parents went back to her father's hometown, SK, when she turned 2 years old then she grew up in Seoul from a family of three (Mother, Father and her) she was then forced to move with her parents in London when she was 8 due to her parents' work demands, cutting effectively her communication from the ones who love her; her cousin, grandmother and grandfather: who were the only people who showed her what love is and made her feel loved and cherished; at 13, she learned that her grandparents died and her cousin went busy with his career, Mirae felt as if she has no purpose to live anymore. But then she saw a music video of Super Junior, Miracle, and remembered her cousin as well, and found solace in music. Since then, her dream was to be  renowned rapper, so she started as an underground rapper as what her cousin suggested her and she kept doing that for a good year and a half, being known underground as M.Rae, the Spitfire Beauty. She was young, alright, but that doesn't stop the words spitting out of like balls of hire, hence, gaining recognition from those other  underground rappers, making her name known underground and to many former underground rappers before due to word of mouth.
(Add) Left for Seoul in secrecy on her 14th birthday using the savings her grandparents left her with, with only a letter to her busy parents, telling them that they don't need to find her, and that she decided to return to Korea saying she left because she has a purpose, a dream to fulfill, to pursue her dream: She lived with her cousin, Gray of AOMG and continued her studies in Korea at day while rapping underground at night. She's very young at the age of fourteen but took advanced classes, hence, graduated early for her young age.

relationships

♔ Cousin, Lee Seonghwa : 29 : Singer and Producer signed under AOMG. : Worrywart and overprotective : closeness: 10 out of 10 | Seonghwa is the closest to a brother and at the same time, father figure to Mirae. They were close as children, having a lot of stories to tell. And when Mirae and her family migrated to London, they lost communication. Not until Mirae learned how to use the internet on her 13th birthday, that's when she kept in touch with her favorite cousin again.
♔ Best Friend: Lee Seunghyun - 25 - Member of YG Boygroup, Bigbang - closeness: 10 out of 10 - Easygoing, Bubbly and Loudmouth - Seungri and Mirae met thru Gray, Mirae's cousin, even before she became a trainee in YGE. Seungri visited Gray on his house late 2010 and since Mirae is living with Gray, they were introduced to each other. Since then, they have been close; inseparable, even.
♔ Soul-sister, Han Namjoo ⋮ 24 ⋮ Flight Attendant in Korean Air ⋮ Bubbly, optimistic and Easy-going : Namjoo is the sister Mirae never had. They were schoolmates before and became inseparable since, but Namjoo became busy as a flight attendant so she and Mirae rarely see each other often. |Namjoo and Mirae were childhood friends. Classmates from nursery until mid-elementary school, then went their separate ways after but still keep in touch. Namjoo is the only girl out of four siblings, that's why she sees Mirae as her sister, maybe not by blood, but for the bond they shared and still continue to share despite their busy lives.
♔ Kim Heechul - 33 - Member of SM Boygroup, Super Junior. - closeness: 10 out of 10 - Diva-ish, overprotective and sassy. - Heechul always picked on Mirae when she was a trainee (Heechul's always on JYPE for nothing, he's close with them and JYP himself, so he gets to roam around JYPE as himself.) but that's because he wants her to be at her best. He was at first, watching her from afar, but soon, he started to give advice to her. Since then, they had been close. He was her 'conscience' as he would like to put it, as when Mirae's pushing herself to her limit, Heechul's the one who's forcing her to take a break, or take a rest in general. Heechul calls Mirae 'my pretty princess'. He's like her Knight in Shining Armor.
♔ Rival: Lee Hi |  20 / Singer / Timid, Calm and Cute. Lee Hi likes Hanbin. She thinks Mirae stole her BIGBANG oppas from her first, then her 2NE1 unnies and lastly, Hanbin. | Hi keeps on pushing Mirae's buttons but Mirae just lets her be because she doesn't want to start a war. Hi needs to tone it down or else Mirae will explode, and it won't end up good for Hi because Mirae literally has BIGBANG, 2PM, 2AM, GOT7 and many more backing her up.

TRAINEE

Stage Name: M.Rae
Persona: Spitfire Goddess

Trainee Years: 3 years in YGE | 3 years in JYPE.

Trainee Life: 

She continued rapping underground until before her sixteenth birthday, since then, she decided to pursue her initial plan: To debut in one of the big three companies, and what's better debuting as a known rapper than in YG? So she auditioned and luckily got in the first time.

As a trainee, she was looked upon because of her various talents, she has many surprises inside her body. She can rap and dance excellently at the same time. But you cannot remove the bullies in every trainees. There are some who bully her because saying she can only rap and dance but NOT sing. Actually, she can sing. Like REALLY sing but she never showed it to anybody except her trainers, Yang HyunSuk, BIGBANG, 2ne1, Epik High (they are there for every trainee assessment) and her family.

She was set to debut as a YG soloist rapper but the CEO decided to debut Lee Hi before her. After many months of waiting, Mirae figured out she'd need to switch companies because YG is getting more focused on others and that her debut is getting pushed back a lot of times, making her feel more and more irrelevant and she didn't want to wait for the time that she'll only be known as someone's shadow, so she decided that she needs her cousin's help.

Before JYP Ent., Mirae was initially in YG. It was her dream company, but sadly, it looks as if YG didn't prioritize girl rappers as it did on CL's, and she had no plans to remove her love for the art called rap so she called her cousin up and asked if there were available spots for trainees in AOMG. He said he'd love to give her a position in AOMG but didn't want her to get criticized by it, so he suggested her to JYP Ent. The moment he told her that, Mirae packed her bags, left YG and her friends behind, to start anew with JYPE.
Park Jin Young, particularly, handpicked her as his trainee upon knowing that she is 'The Gray's cousin, besides that fact, he had heard so much about her from GDragon, T.O.P, Tablo, Mithra Jin, Zico, Bang Yongguk, Park Kyung, basically a whole lot of underground rappers, and from the cousin himself, Lee Seong Hwa aka Gray. So he decided to train her in hopes to see if what his friends say would give it justice or the opposite.
"Are they serious? This...this pretty girl? An underground rapper? They're ting me..."
And the results totally shocked him.
This Mirae girl, who doesn't look like she could rap, spits fire once she opens and words come flowing out with a rhythmic melody.
That's right. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Soon, Park Jin Young decided it would make a good background story on how Mirae was originally a rapper but turned singer, knowing well that she sings undeniably good (credits to Yang Hyun Suk, who told him about Mirae's secret singing abilities), he decided it would be better if she'd be a well-known power vocal and when the time comes that she has to debut as a solo artist, by then, he'd allow her to be a solo rapper.

Pre-debut:

• Lead female in GDragon's "Breathe", "Heartbreaker" and BIGBANG's "Tonight".
• Lead female in TaeYang's "I'll be there" and "I need A Girl".
• Her voice was used in 2PM's Hands Up 'Oppa, mideodo dweji, okay?'.
• Featured in Epik High's 'Happen Ending'.

Scandals:

♔ iKON's Leader, B.I, dating TWICE's Leader M.Rae?/ Early 2017 / After one of TWICE's comeback stage, B.I sweet-talked Mirae into drinking hot chocolate with her that evening to a cafe. Lots of paparazzi shots, one with B.I tucking Mirae's stray hairs away from her face. TRUE. They are together but not dating. YG and JYPE clarified their status now only as close friends and not dating.
♔ WINNER's Mino cooped up in a scandal with TWICE's M.Rae? / Late 2016 / Some delusional fans made a rumour about Mirae and Mino dating way back when Mirae was still a trainee in YGE / Knowing their stalking-slash-researching skills, they found out that Mirae and Mino hang out a lot during their trainee days (thanks to Seungri's pointless matchmaking skills, which were, in fact, not helpful AT ALL) and were too close for friends. (But in reality, those were cropped pictures from when they were out with a large group of friends). When Mino's 'Body' was released, they immediately pointed out that Mirae was Mino's inspiration for the lyrics, most importantly the part where he talks about tattoos. / This still remains as a rumor since neither YG or JYPE responds to this. Seems like Mirae is sandwiched between the YG boys.

♔ Super Junior's Heechul and TWICE's M.Rae?/ March 2017 / Some fans are just beyond delusional as they gave funny colors to Heechul and Mirae's close-knit friendship. SME and JYPE just laughed it off and Heechul posting about it relentlesslyfor a whole two weeks, finding the rumour humorous. At some point, in april fool's, he "confirmed" that they were dating which ended up as an april fool's joke, making fans dismayed. Heechul laughed about it, mentioning their .
