PERSONALITY
but she's just a girl, and she has the temperament of one, too. a girl who pushes things too and fails to notice the limits of what is approporiate. a girl who wants everything that is synonymous with success. a girl who's uncontrollably bright and filled with energy, bouncing off the walls everywhere unlike the calm and prim image most female idols have. a girl who's proud and self-asserting to an irritating degree. a girl whose tongue is sharp and mean and the way she acrosses things is too blunt and she takes pleasure in bossing people around.
so for all her admirable skills, luli jung isn't perfect. she'll mouth off to the wrong person or say the wrong thing at the wrong time. and, to, song jiseong, she is trouble just waiting to happen. but to song jiseong, she's a little bit like her younger self so maybe she's willing to take that risk. and besides, a little pinch of trouble could be good for fame.

TIMELINE
PART I.
she's born and she's destined for greatness ( or so mother tells her after each successful show of hers ).
mother gets her into acting as soon as she can. her first role is asian baby in a gerber's commercial.
she plays mary in her church's production of the birth of christ when she's 6.
she gets younger siblings. her younger sister is often sick and gets doted on. luli drifts away from her parents' sphere of attention.
her younger brother is born and becomes her parents' prince. she drifts even further away.
it's lonely.
mother keeps making her go on stage, keeps letting her face get exposed to the world. in a way, it makes her feel less lonely.
but whenever she gets done with a show, mother always hugs and kisses her and loves her and buys her a cheesecake just for her, so she wants to do more.
PART II.
it's her first real show. a show at an actual theatre company and not her school. a show where she'll get a stipend.
she sees her face in the newspaper. sees her words on the page. sees critics raving over miss lilian jung.
that's when she realizes she wants to sing and act and dance until the day her joints and vocal chords blow out.

CONNECTIONS
MOM "why won't you love me ma?" nothing she does is good enough, but she wants it to be. she goes further and further in order to hear the words, "i'm proud of you", but they never come. there's a disconnect, a feeling of loneliness, a feeling of unvoiced disatisfaction. the reason luli jung is a glutton for everything synonymous for success is because she wants to be treasured. she wants to be her mother's pride. she wants to be pet and babied and treated like a jewel. at the very least, she wants to be treated the same as her siblings.
SONG JISEONG "never before have i met a more infuriating, aneurysm-inducing woman." luli and jiseong heads more than luli and her own mother do. she expects the old woman has it out for her because although amore's every movement is highly scrutinized by jiseong sajangnim, she always seems to watch luli a little bit more, seems to push her a little bit further, seems to drive her a little bit crazier. and the opposite can be said for jiseong. luli demands to be watched more, tests her patience more, drives her crazier than the others.
the young and impetuous luli calls it unfair treatment, the mature type a jiseong calls it something of an entirely different name. as one of the members with the most reservations about becoming an idol and the member with the most difficult time adjusting to idol life, luli always has jiseong on her , pushing her, challenging her, forcing her to be more. more. more. jiseong is always crawling under her skin to get her to be more and the pressure drives her crazy.
it drives her crazy because jiseong is just like her mother. ambitious, elitist, suffocatingly perfectionistic. nothing luli does will ever be good enough for jiseong, like her mother. luli will never hear that jiseong's proud of her, just like her mother.
luli swears at her. she swears and scream and tears out her own hair and jiseong fires back at her. luli cries because the pressure is too much and jiseong holds her and tells luli that she's sure as hell not gonna let her quit now. song jiseong always gives her an answer to all her questions, no matter how smart-mouthed they may be. song jiseong is luli jung's biggest critic and biggest fan because song jiseong sees so much of herself in luli jung. and as such, she knows what luli needs and will craft her by her own hand.
WEEKLY IDOL CREW "why am i friends with you again?" jackson wang, doni, coni, hani, chullie, dahyun, jooheon.
GRAHAM SONG "please keep supporting me." graham is a rather laidback paramour, but he's been a fan of amore since their pre-debut days. he won't come to a fansign in head to toe merch, but he will show up for any fansigns in his area to take pictures. he's rather calm in his reactions to performances, just sitting there with a smile on his face as he holds a banner but he still absolutely loves it. he's not one of the fans that shouts things during fanmeets, but he is the one to take a bunch of photos.
he runs one of luli's fansites and he's pretty popular in the fandom because he's got the cutest pictures. he always organizes the fans to send a big, collective gift on luli's birthday and the group's anniversary, but he also sends luli really small and thoughtful gifts. like, its a bit old school, but he gives her a little mixtape with a bunch of artists he loves that he thinks she'd like.
and they meet "face-to-face" at a fansign because the other fans convince him to go up and greet you instead of taking pictures ( only after they promise to take pics for him ) and like luli is so excited to thank him at the very least bc he's supported amore since day one and he's always very polite and encourages other paramours to be on their best behavior.
and they talk about his photography ( he's majorin in it ) and how he's loved it since he was a kid and she's just so struck by him and she wants to just block out the world and talk to him for the rest of her life but all she can settle for is split-second hand holding.
against all common sense, against the warnings of her members, luli wants to be closer to graham because he reminds her of her old life, reminds her what it feels like to just be a normal girl. she can be herself around him, doesn't have to put on airs. they're friends.
he's her treasure like, she adores him so much?? they message on kkt occasionally and like sometimes before big shows he'll wish her good luck and it just makes her heart melt. he'll send her lame jokes that cause her to roll around on the floor. whenever she sees him at a fanmeet, she wants to curl up into a ball and die because he's so great and she just wants to stop the world and talk to him.

RAP ioi yoojung
VARIETY ioi yoojung
when it comes to variety, luli is a strong contender at making people laugh. she has many imitations, which she's been told are very good, and she has many skits she can act out. she's also amazing at idol dances, specifically boy group dances, and has a lot of charms to show off.

interview
conducted by a columnist from a local magazine
q
WHAT'S YOUR ROLE IN THE GROUP?
A
she adjusts herself in her seat, straightening up her posture and beaming brightly as she inhales. what comes out is a ridiculously saccharine voice paired with two curling bunny ears, "i'm amore's beagle puppy in charge vocals, dance, and rap!" she holds it for a minute before curling into herself with a self-depriciating laugh. "that was cheesy, wasn't it? but yes, hello! i am amore's luli in charge of vocals, dance, and rap!"
Q
I SEE, AND WHAT MAKES YOU DESERVING OF THIS COVETED POSITION? WHAT MAKES YOU STAND ON STAGE AS AMORE'S LEAD VOCAL LEAD DANCE INSTEAD OF OTHERS WHO MIGHT BE AS EQUALLY AS COMPETENT AS YOU ARE?
A
her entire body perks up at the question, eyebrows raising, and furrowing, and then releasing. she nods slowly as she weighs the question on her tongue, "what makes me deserving of this position?" she takes a moment to gather her thoughts, "well, with all due respect, i think there are very few people equally as competent as i am. i'm multi-talented, seriously! singing, dancing, acting, rapping, modeling, variety, just call me a tuple threat! i'm greedy and i don't like to lose. i've always been a competetive person, so i worked as hard as i could to cultivate myself in every area i could so i wouldn't lose to anyone."
q
WHAT DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING IN AMORE? ABOUT BEING UNDER SONG JISEONG'S MANAGEMENT AND BELONGING IN THE NEXT BIG THING?
A
she pauses in the middle of brushing her hair from her face. "this is an awfully loaded question, innit?" she forces out a laugh as she fidgets with her fingers. "being the next big thing is nice. it's something to look forward to but being under jiseong sajangnim is... tough." the word comes out on an exhale, floating into the interview room with a sort of tiredness. "she's not easy to please. at all. there are many times where she makes me cry out of frustration and exhaustion." she pauses before quickly adding on something good, "but i know it's all worth it! success should never be easy to obtain, and jiseong sajangnim knows that."
q
THAT'S, WELL, INTERESTING TO HEAR. ANYWAY, HOW EXACTLY DID YOU GET SCOUTED FOR AMORE?
A
"i heard sajangnim really enjoyed me on kpop star 5, and that she contacted yoo huiyeol to get more information about me," her cheekbones are raise as she tell the story, "and he gave her my mom's contact information so she could talk about with her." a smile grows wide on her lips, "and my mom was initially upset i had gotten eliminated but when song jiseong called, she ran into my room babbling and she hugged and kissed me all over. she was really proud of me just for getting noticed by such a great company. and my dad left work early and bought me a huge cake before we even made an official decision. with a response like that, how could i turn song jiseong down? it's my filial duty to make my parents happy, and making it into amore definitely did that."
q
WOW, SONG JISEONG DOES PROVE HER TENACITY. HOW HONOURABLE. BUT LULI, TELL ME, WHAT'S THE MOST DIFFICULT THING ABOUT BEING A MEMBER OF AMORE? IS IT THE PRESSURE, OR THE IMMEDIATE FAME? TELL ME.
A
her lips part and press together before forming a thin line. she struggles to find the right words. "i wouldn't say it's either of those things... sorry, this is a tough question." she looks pensive as she scratches her neck, "i... for me, personally, it's neither the pressure nor the fame. to me, the hardest thing is pleasing jiseong sajangnim because you give it your best, and then you have to give 210% past that. like, i'm a theatre person, we're always working under pressure so i'm used to that but never before have i had someone ask more of me than i had to offer. and never before have i found a way to give someone more of me than i had."
q
HOW ABOUT YOUR MEMBERS? DO YOU FEEL AS IF YOU'RE CONSTANTLY COMPETING WITH THEM EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE IN THE SAME GROUP?
A
she goes to speak before she shuts her eyes and pinches her lips together. the interview staff let out a light chuckle, one of them asking, "must be difficult as one of the youngest, huh?" she cracks a grin, "you have no idea! i don't feel like i'm competing with them so much as i feel frustrated with being part of maknae line. i'm the eldest in my family. not only that, i'm a stage manager! i'm bossy! i'm used to telling people what to do but now i'm one of the youngest and no one listens to me!"
q
NOW, WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AFTER AMORE? I MEAN, SINCE THE GROUP'S SCHEDULED FOR THREE YEARS ONLY, RIGHT?
A
"in all honesty," she begins with a sparkle in her eye as she sways in her seat. "i'm gonna go to uni and get a degree in acting and then i'll probably be an actress for a long while. hopefully i can break into the european and american acting scene and become an international actress like fan bingbing. that's my plan and my dream!"
q
ALRIGHT, FINAL QUESTION: SITTING RIGHT HERE, TALKING TO ME, YOUR FANS INCESSANTLY YELLING OUTSIDE THE BUILDING — DO YOU FEEL REGRETFUL ABOUT JOINING AMORE? IF YOU WERE GIVEN A CHANCE TO GO BACK IN TIME, WOULD YOU HAVE REJECTED SONG JISEONG'S OFFER, OR WOULD YOU LET TIME PASS AS THE SAME, STILL AMORE'S LULI, LIVING IN STARDOM?
A
the excitement and joy on her face drop as her shoulders round and her expression turns downcast. she stares at nothing for a while, grimmacing and shaking her head before looking up at the interviewer and apologizing for taking so long in answering. "i don't know. i honestly don't know. if i were doing this simply for myself i would have rejected. but i'm doing this for my family so i can't fully imagine the alternative."
