background
anna was born in the philippines on june 12, 1998. her mother's side is pure filipino while her father was american, which makes her a filipino-american citizen. she comes from a rather wealthy but humble family since they don't want to attract that much attention to themselves. growing up, she tried so many things such as playing sports (badminton, basketball, soccer), instruments (piano and guitar), archery, modelling, fashion designing, acting, chorale, and dance. however, she doesn't stick to any of them for a long time as she keeps shifting from activity to activity with one exception, which was dance. it was dance that captured her heart and from a simple activity to pass the time, it turned not only into a talent or skill but also a passion. she learns ballet, jazz, folk dance, and the different styles or genres of hip-hop without getting tired of it.
IN SCHOOL, ANNA IS A HARD WORKING AND SMART STUDENT. SHE IS AN HONOR STUDENT DESPITE BEING ON THE STUDENT COUNCIL AND DANCE CLUB. A LOT MAY THING THAT SHE IS THIS PERFECT GIRL HOWEVER NOT MANY KNOW ABOUT HER HEALTH CONDITION. AT EIGHT YEARS OLD, SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PITUITARY MICROADENOMA, A BENIGN (NON-CANCEROUS) TUMOR WHICH CAUSED A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR HER WHILE GROWING UP. SHE MAY BE A BRIGHT AND OUTGOING GIRL BUT SHE STRUGGLES WITH A LOT OF HARDSHIPS AND INSECURITIES ON HER OWN. SHE CHOOSES NOT TO BOTHER OTHERS WITH HER PROBLEMS SINCE SHE LOOKS OUT FOR OTHERS MORE THAN HERSELF. SHE IS STRONG WILLED AND BELIEVES SHE CAN HANDLE HER OWN BUSINESS WITHOUT WORRYING THOSE AROUND HER. AMONG THESE PROBLEMS WERE HER HEIGHT AND CONDITIONS THAT AFFECTED HER DANCING. IN TERMS OF HEIGHT, SHE GOT THE GENES FROM HER MOM AND HER MOTHER'S SIDE WAS RATHER SHORT. WITH HER TUMOR, IT CAUSED PREMATURE AGING TO HER BONES, WHICH MEANT IT AFFECTED HER HEIGHT AS WELL, MAKING HER QUITE PETITE. SHE ALSO GETS EASILY DEHYDRATED AND DIZZY AND OFTENTIMES CHEST PAINS, ESPECIALLY DURING DANCE TRAINING SESSIONS, WHICH MAKES IT HARD FOR HER TO BREATHE. NEVERTHELESS, ANNA WAS A FIGHTERWHO PUSHED THROUGH HER LIMITS.
SHE GOES TO KOREA A LOT FOR A VACATION AND DURING ONE OF HER TRIP, THERE WAS A VERY SPECIAL STREET PERFORMANCES THAT ALLOWED THE AUDIENCE TO PARTICIPATE. IT WAS A TALENT SHOW WHERE THEY WOULD PLAY RANDOM SONGS AND THE PARTICIPANTS CAN SING, RAP, OR DANCE. ANNA DID A COVER TO BTS' DOPE AND IT IMPRESSED THE CROWD AND ASKED FOR AN ENCORE. SHE THEN DANCED TO ASTRO'S CONFESSION AND ADDED HER OWN CHOREOGRAPHY TO IT. AFTER SHE WENT DOWN ON STAGE, SHE WAS ABOUT TO GET SOME FOOD WHEN A CASTING AGENT MET UP WITH HER. THE CASTING AGENT TOLD ANNA ABOUT THE NEW GIRL GROUP THEY WERE PLANNING AND ANNA WAS INTERESTED AT ONCE BUT HAD TO TALK TO HER PARENTS. AT FIRST HER PARENTS HATED THE IDEA BECAUSE THEY WANTED HER TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL DAUGHTER BUT THE CASTING AGENTS ASSURED THEM THAT ANNA COULD CONTINUE HER STUDIES AS LONG AS SHE EXERTED EXTRA EFFORT, WHICH ANNA AGREED TO.
