personality

— Hyebin has always been a person who apsires to be more- She aspires to be a better singer, se aspires to be a better dancer, she aspires to be a better idol, a better person, a better sister, a better daughter, a better friend. When Hyebin wants to be something, she wants to be it enogh to work for it. That being said, she's extremely full of herself as is. While she believes that she should and could improve, she also believes that she's pretty much the best anyway. She always sees the good in herself and thinks she's better than the rest. People really hate that about her, because she openly says it, too. She's very compulsive and says things as she thinks them. She does things on an impulse, and doesn't really think many things ahead. However, in saying that Hyebin is also spontaneous, which makes her pretty fun. Doing things on an impulse in a spontaneous way can be a good thing- It makes her adaptable and able to change to fit whatever the situation is She's not bothered when people suddenly change or cancel plans, which is a fantastic quality for an idol.

— She is very romantic, which surprises many people. Like...Lives on other's romances. She always thinks of the cutest little dates and events for couples, and likes to play Cupid, recruiting Seyeon along. She is very impractical and doesn't think of things realistically. Hyebin tends to think of these crazy plots to get people together that could only happen in movies, dramas, and anime- Never in real life. She's very impractical about it and doesn't think of the realistic side to it all. She's very efficient in what she does, however, and ignores her imagination when it's time to work. She gets things done wel, and she gets them done fast. Hyebin's very good at what she does, however she doesn't follow a set of moral codes when she does it. If getting this choreography down means keeping the other members up until 3 a.m., so be it- What does that matter? She lacks a lot of a moral compass. She never really had to have one growing up.

— Well, Hyebin is very open with the other members. She tends to wear her heart on her sleeve, but that makes people like her more. They find comfort and somehing endearing in her pure heart, and think she's pretty amazing. She's not open to the point of rude, but she says how she feels on a situation without offending tohers. It's a unique ability she has, as many cross the line to the point of cruel while another large amount of people stay behind other's opinions and don't let their's be heard. Hyebin tends to be very hyper, alweays high on energy and bouncing around everywhere- She doesn't stay still. She never stops talking, which annoys some people and endears her to others- She simply has a lot to say! Hyebin is sometimes accused of being rude for taking up so much screentime, but it's her natural personality- A hyper girl who says what she wants and doesn't stop.

background

— Lee Taeyeon was born as the youngest of three children, and never minded being doted on. When she was baby, maybe a year old at the most, her father was tossing her up and down and Taeyeon hit her face on the ceiling fan (It was a low ceiling)- he still has a scar above her right eyebrown to this day, but covers it up with makeup. As a young child, Taeyeon was doted on by her parents and older siblings. She was the baby and took full advantage of that, beggin to go to the zoo or an amusement park every weekend, asking for new toys and clothes whenever she saw something she wanted, etc. Taemin and Taeseun, instead of being jealous that she got everything she wanted, were more amused that their parents were wrapped around her finger. However, that being said, so were they and they knew it. Taeyeon loved her lived a lot before she started going to school. It was so different- She experienced meaness for the first time in her life. Kids were horrible to each other, pushing them and calling them names- Call Taeyeon names. She didn't like that, she didn't like how mean everyone was. Her mother couldn't understand why her five-year-old suddenly hated and didn't want to attend school. In the end, Taeyeon had to learn how to it up- She had no choice but to go. That was the one thing her parents were really strinct on her with- School, and htat's the simple reason why Taeyeon isn't spoiled today. She was forced to go to school and endure many things.

— It was in second grade when Taeyeon made her best friend ever- A Miss Song Yunseo, same age as her, half-French and beyond a wonderful friend. Yunseo always took her side in the bullying, but that wasn't enough. Taeyeon ended up with finding solace in singing- While her older brother Taemin was definitely a dancer, she fell in love with how idols sang. Her older brother became a trainee when she was very young, and Taeyeon loved the idea of it. Suddenly instead of the newest doll, Taeyeon wanted to be a trainee at the best companies- Any of them would would do. She was so excited with the idea, and her parents could do nothing but accept it- They'd let their son Taemin, so it would be cruel to tell their baby girl no. Taemin debuted when Taeyeon was only six, and wow, was watching him and Jinki perform amazing. She was so thrilled, and did her best in school to prove to her parents that she should be allowed to audition. Taeyeon suddenly wanted in the same company as Taemin. She thought it would be the most amazing thing, and Taemin set up a little, skewed-view audition for at age ten. Taeyeon got in, and began to train very early in her life, earlier than most other trainees.

— When she began to train, she decided it was time to go by a different name- There was already a famous "Taeyeon" in SM Entertainment, there couldn't be two. So from age ten and on, Lee Taeyeon was now known as Lee Hyebin. Hyebin took her training and school very seriously, and she handled both of them with very few problems. Hyebin was suddenly being praised after she became good at what she was doing- When she learned how to sing and dance above average level, Hyebin got a big head- She suddenly tought she was the best, and became somewhat arrogant. In 2015, a close friend betrayed her badly, and she began to shy away from others. She lost many friends except for Yunseo and struggled to keep in up in school. After a joint peptalk by Jinki and Taemin, though, Hyebin got herself together and worked harder towards debut. She once again began to socialize, not to the point where she'd get close to people, but was generally in many conversations. She didn't care about the names she was called and deflected them all with a smile. She let herself be who she wanted to be, and it was that kind of cnfidence that made her charming ad earned her a spot in the Finest of Fairies.

relationships

— A Strange Oppa Named Taemin I mean, Older Brother • Lee Taemin / 23 / Idol (SHINee) / Adaptable, hard-working, busy, stressed / 9.5-10
/sCREAMS I LOVE MY OLDER BROTHER. I HAVE ANOTHER ONE BUT LIKE HE'S WAY OLDER SORRY TAESEUN OPPA. Ahem, shoving Hyebin into another room now, Hyebin adores Taemin with all her might. Oh wait, what's that? Oh yeah, Taemin calls her by her birth name, Taeyeon! /nO HE DOESN'T DON'T LISTEN TO HER IF YOU WRITE HIM TALLING ME TAEYEON I'LL CRY YOU DON'T WANT ME TO CRY, DO YOU?? Locking her in a closet now, Taemin calls her by her birth name Taeyeon, and he's the only one in her family that does it- The rest have respected her wishes/given in (Read: Her mom). Taemin actually adores Taeyeon to death, and has always bragged about how amazing, talented, and beautiful his baby sister was. Unfortunately, Netizens disagree, and during an episode of Hello Counselor he guested on, he spoke about her and this picture of her with her former friend, April's Chaewon, went on it. Immediately there were Pann posts, Onehallyu and Allkpop discussions, and OP's asking why and complaining about Taemin's ugly little sister. Taemin has always felt sorry for it since- He wanted to show her off, not get people to call her ugly when she was so cute...They're seriously close, though, nothing could seperate these two siblings. They love each other to the end.

— The Biggest Babe In The Whole Wide World I mean, Best Friend • Song Pénélope Yunseo / 16 / High school student / Dutiful, resourceful, whimsical, disloyal / 9-10 (FC: Momoland's Nancy)
/BY LITERAL BABE I LOVE HER SO MUCH YEOBO~~ Hyebin I swear to God. (Yunseo: Imagine her being your best friend. -_-) Song Yunseo and Lee Taeyeon- Sorry, Hyebin, but Yuneseo, like Taemin, still calls her by her birth name- Met in the second grade, and have been unseperable since. Yunseo is half-French and has Taeyeon everything she knows about the French language. Sure, Yunseo doesn't exactly respect her wishes to be called Hyebin instead of Taeyeon, but she says it's because "Naturally, Taeyeon, you're different than the other Tayeon in SM. There's always a difference. You're Taeyeon." Taeyeon still insists that it's because she just doesn't want to change. They're often seen out together, and actually through Taeyeon, Yunseo and Sanha eventually get close. They're soon known to be three very close friends. Yunseo calls Taeyeon her Jagiya while Yunseo is Taeyeon's Yeobo. They like to do everything together- Yunseo sneaks into the dorm. A lot. Leaves tiny presents for her around the dorm. And leaves. Of course she denies it but they both know the truth. /Aw YEOBO thanks so much. <3 Saranghaeyo~~

— The Literal I mean, Former Friend and Current Rival/Enemy • Kim Chaewon / 19 / Idol (April) / Intelligent, sweet, desperate, dishonest / 2-10
/OH THIS - Hyebin I got it. So yeah, you read the friend-betrayal part in the background, yeah? Well this is her- Kim Chaewon, main vocalist of April. What was the betrayal? Well, internet rumors surfaced that it was because Chaewon and Taeyeon made a pact to debut at the same time, but that was all wrong- Why would they possibly debut at the same time if they're in different companies? Truth it, Hyebin was supposed to be added into Red Velvet with Yeri, but Chaewon was jealous since she wasn't debuting yet. So, she began to spread rumots about Hyebin to the SM staff- She coincidentally knew some people that knew some people. /YEAH SHE HECKING You'll say but not ing? Okay Hyebin, back to the other room-- So uh, Hyebin was suddenly told only a week and a half from the MV filming that instead, she would sty a trainee and only Yeri would be a new member. She was extremely upset, and cried about it to Chaewon, but Chaewon didn't seem...Sorry. Then, Hyebin found out the truth through another trainee and to say the least, she was furious. She confronted Chaewon who simply said, "It wasn't fair." Hyebin swore to get her back one day (Even if she doesn't really intend to). They're hated each other since. Hyebin can't stand seeing her face or hearing her voice.

— The Jerk Who Took Her Side I mean, Used-To-Be Close Friend • Lee Naeun / 17 / Idol (April) / Easy-going, charming, overly trusting, regretful / 6-10
/Why did you take sides without knowing what happened. ;^; Hyebin, please go sit in that corner. So as Hyebin's commentary suggests, Naeun took Chaewon's side without getting the full, real story- What Naeun told her friend that posted the story online is what Chaewon told her. She didn't find out for months, until they'd already debuted. Hyebin, Chaewon, and Naeun were close friends- Naeun knew Hyebin from school and introduced her to her cool trainee Unnie, Chaewon. They were such close friends until Chaewon betrayed her and Naeun did the wrong thing. /That's why I still don't hate her, just like her less than before-- Shh, Hyebin, telling a story here. They two stopped talking when April debuted, and a few months later, Chaewon told her the real story. Naeun was immediately regret and apologetic, but Hyebin really can't find it in her to forgive her. She knows that it's Naeun personality to trust people so easily, but to refuse to listen to what she had to say...That hurt. A lot. Who knows how their relationship will progess?

— The Most Amazing Oppa In The World I mean, My Brother's Bandmate • Lee Jinki / 27 / Idol (SHINee) / Thoughtful, kind, mysterious, clumsy / ???-10
/Ji-Jinki oppa is really so beautiful. ;_; As I push Hyebin off the screen- Ah jeez, this man is seriously Hyebin's biggest crush ever. She met him when she was four or five (HOLY WHAT A BABY) when Taemin jongwould bring his trainee group over. Hyebin was immediately infatuated with Jinki and has been since, he was her first love. XD Jinki thought she was kind of adorable and loved to tease the little girl- He still does- Because the way she reacted was cute. Hyebin has seriously found him to be the most amazing Oppa since she was a smol. Jinki thinks it's adorable, but as she gets older she needs to realize it isn't happening (/OPPA NO!)-- Shush it kid. Taemin warned his hyung to not break his baby sister's heart or there would be hell to pay. XD Jinki is in a hard spot at the moment. That being said, he often calls or texts her (She seriously got his number as soon as she got a phone) to send his congratulations for her hard work or even wins. She loves it and blushes every time. <3

— The Blonde-To-Be Who Is/Will Be Dating My Oppa I mean, Bandmate • Go Dohee / 22 / Idol (FoF) / Confident, playful, wishful, indulgent / 6.5-10
/hEY THAT LIKES MY BROTHER but god she's so beautiful someone save me she shines too brightly-- Get out Hyebin-- Despite how Hyebin describes Dohee, they actually like each other well enough. They're fairly similar in a few ways, but the biggest difference is that Dohee doesn't cross the line between confident and narcissistic while Hyebin does. Hyebin thinks that Dohee is really pretty but will never admit it, or the fact that she likes her. Most of the time, she tries to act like Dohee is the worst person in the world, but people see through her pretty easily. Dohee thinks it's cute that Hyebin tries so hard to hate her (And secretly thinks that she would make a good sister in law what who said that). Dohee teases Hyebin a lot and tries to bother her because it's really funny when she gets all flustered and all. Cutie. /I'M NOT A CUtie but oh god Goddess Unnie said it, someone save me, my heart can't take this praise-- I mean, uhm, die!!

OR

Hebin can actually hate Dohee and if chosen I can refill this out totally differently. Up to you Min~ /runs away

Trainee Life

— It's really weird, but SM Entertainment actually accepted Taeyeon when she was ten, and for multiple reasons- One, Taemin's influence, two, her potential in singing, and three, seriously Taemin's influence. Thankfully, Taeyeon never knew that little bit of info. As soon as she was joined, Taeyeon was determined to make a name for herself, and began to go by the name Hyebin even at home- It was very different from Taeyeon, which was the goal. She didn't want to be confused with her. While training, Hyebin got a lot of from her fellow, older trainees who were certai it was only the famous Taemin's influence. Hyebin worked even harder to prove them wrong (Poor, uninformed baby)- and she did become a much better singer, and even became an above-average dancer. The trainers took it fairly hard on her since she wasn't exactly the most naturally talented when she showed up. However, with their harsh treatment and her hard work, Hyebin truly became a good performer and singer. She is forever grateful.

Talent twins

— Dancing, Eunha of GFriend;  (Umji of GFriend)
— Variety, Yeeun of CLC (Basically she's a cutie wreck on stage)
 

Pre debut

— Modeling (LOOK AT HOW GORGEOUS SHE IS, 2012-2016), other people think she's ugly. ^_^; But to be she's very pretty~

— Taemin's Younger Sister is Ugly!! Send A Plastic Surgeon!! (Blog translated from Korean to English, see top half here)

— Taemin's Younger Sister Has Bad Blood With Rookie Chaewon of April?! (Blog translated from Korean to English, see bottom half here)

Post debut/scandals

— Sebin of FoF Dating Astro's Sanha?; False, after she starts to promote she meets Astro's Sanha and they become very close friends. They went out to a meal together to congratulate each other on their hard work and Netizens started a dating rumor.

— Finest of Fariei's Opens Up About Her Bullied Past!; Not so much a scandal, but on a vareity show Hyebin was given the chance to talk about a hardship in her past. She tearfully (A little drama for the TV, it doesn't bother her that much) explained how she was bullied in school her whole life for being "unpretty" and "ugly."

— Fof's Sebin Has An Attitude Problem?; I mean, if we took far into it, a little true, but not really. Sebin is simply talkative and takes up a lot of screentime. She is also hyper and bounces around everywhere, so sometimes she'll push the others out of the way. She doesn't do it to be mean, it just happens...But she promises to reflect and apologizes. They also brough up the blog thing about her and Chaewon. That .

— Sebin to Quit FoF?; False, after she posted this on Instagram, fans began to panic, taking it as she was leaving the band. However, after the post blew up SM Entertainment made an official statement to say that she was actually going to be leaving high school if she successfully passed the test to get her GED, citing that living as an idol and going to high school was affecting her grades and that she'd rather quite with a GED than fail.

— FoF's Sebin Caught Underage Drinking!; True, Sebin was drinking soju at her parent's house in celebration of her brother's success in something or another (She was given permission), however, she posted the photo of her drinking it on her idol Instagram account accidentally instead of her personal account. That was a mess and she stepped back for "reflection." SM seriously considered getting rid of her after all of her...Problems.

last comment ***I know Jinsol might be a bit strong, but, well, SM, and she's so young it's hard to find a vocal twin.;; Spare me. And sometimes Jinsol goes flat so. And she wasn't a main originally. I was gonna add all the chosen members so far but I wanted to give this to you now and, uh, it would feel too crowded so. I might add them later~~

scene requets

— Jinki takes her on a "date" because one, it's funny/adorable how blushy and embarassed she gets around him and two, he wants to break it to her gently that, you know, she's fourteen and he's twenty-seven. Thirteen years is a bit much. Before Asa, obviously.

— Dramatic showdown with Chaewon and Hyebin with both FoF and April present- Only they and Naeun know what happened between them at that point.

— I dunno, just get Taemin in there and show how adorable their relatioship is.

— This app. I made with pure drama in mind, I've given you SO MANY opportunities--

password I forgot I needed songs for this one too. Uh...SNSD You Think, GFriend Glass Bead, Sonamoo Cushion, Step by Step OMG, Only One Apink, Love At First Sight Tint.
