shina / cynthia
birthname cynthia Hong / Hong Jooyeon
nicknames
- Shina / since Cynthia isn't easy to pronounce for koreans, they named her shina, , she liked the name and decided to keep it as stage name
- daisy / because cynthia is proper, clean, beautiful and sweet, they gave her the nickname daisy when she dyed her hair blonde. She also really likes the color white.

birthday 1996 12 25 (20)
birthplace Sacramento, California, united states
ethnicity korean-american
hometown seoul, south-korea
nationality korean
languages
-English / excellent / since Cynthia was born and raised in the US, she grew up speaking english. Her pronounciation is perfect and she's actually more fluent at english than korean
-korean / very fluent / her second language that she often spoke at home. while she usually spoke english, her parents made sure that she knew korean too, in case they went back to meet their family in korea. her pronounciation is a bit off, but it sounds like a dialect more than a foreigner talking.
-mandarin / conversational / since her big brother debuted with his group, she befriended all of them and they were all close like brothers to her. she has seen the boys come and go but befriended all of them. When she met Hui for the first time, who was joining back in 2014, they couldn't communicate well, because hui is chinese and he is a very shy and insecure person, so she started self-studying mandarin to conversate with him better and make him feel at ease, later on, he started teaching her. Jackson often teaches her too.

〈 interview 〉
❝ part of the concept of the group is monthly member introduction, if you were given a choice, which month would you like to be introduced in? why? ❞
uhm... I would like to be introduced in maybe... the third month? In the beginning, there will be a lot of hype and it might die down later on. But i certainly don't want to be first, since that would just make me extremely nervous...
❝ each member will be filming their music videos in different parts of the world, in which country would you like to film yours? ❞
Why do you keep asking me such hard questions? please spare me I still have to debut- anyway... i was born in california, the united states, and grew up there too, so at one side i would really like to film there so i can show my hometown to everyone. at the other side, I would love to travel to a land like india and film in front of the taj mahal or something. oh, or egypt! i would really love to record my music video while discovering foreign cultures.
❝ how do you feel about finally debuting? ❞
i am very, very excited. it's finally our time, that's how i feel, it's our turn. but i think my brother's even more excited than me!
❝ what inspired you to become an idol? ❞
me and my brother were singing since we were little kids. i look up to him a lot, since he's 6 years older than me. he teached me a lot and when he said he wanted to become a singer, i felt like 'ooohhh... big bro wants to become a singer, so me too!' and so it happened! but i think that even if cory didn't say that, i still would've wanted to become a singer. he just gave me that little push that made my decision.
❝ other than being an idol, is there another profession that you would like to pursue? if you weren't an idol, what would you be doing instead? ❞
i think that if i wasn't going to be an idol... i might become stylist! i always liked fashion, i always try to look as great as i can and put together some amazing outfits in my own style. i feel like i could perfectly style groups fitting to their concept.
❝ lastly, do you have message to the people who already looking forward to iris' debut? ❞
please anticipate and enjoy iris a lot. I guarantee you that it will be awesome! i hope you won't get bored of the member reveal per month, please stay with us untill the end! let's become an amazing group with a peaceful and nice fandom, that other fans will look at you with envy, thinking 'ahh, they are so nice and sweet, I wish i was part of their fandom too!'

personality traits zodiac sign: capricorn
(P): neat, caring, gentle, well-mannered, proper, cheerful, sweet, optimistic, loves outdoors
(n): terrible sleeper, perfectionist, stubborn, clumsy, childish, extreme tease, way too flirty, weak, slow
elaboration
cynthia is almost a perfect girl, neat, sweet, gentle and always the right amount of polite for the occasion. she's very well-mannered and is totally seen as the girl-next-door who loves everyone and is loved by everyone. But she has some flaws. she isn't a morning person at all, and she's a perfectionist. that might seem like a good trait, but with her it's up to the point that she becomes irritated and even angry. she's also very stubborn, and when stubborn, she acts like a child, huffing and stomping her feet. it's very endearing, but she only becomes more mad when you tell her, and then she might kick you. she's also very clumsy, she spaces out a lot and is a full-on daydreamer. she trips so much that her knees are usually always marked. don't give her breakable stuff, because she'll probably drop it at some point.
background
she was born in california and grew up there, enjoying the good summer life. she was always a popular and loved girl. very sweet and adorable, good grades, and had the gift of being a natural born singer. compared to her, her older brother was way less popular, and it always made her sad, wondering why. she always made sure to keep her brother by her side, as they were the best team ever. when her brother cory wanted to become a trainee in korea, his family followed him, and cynthia had to leave her summery california life behind. it was very hard to adjust at first, but now she is completely fine. the most important thing after all was to stay with her lovely older brother. they are as close as brother and sister can get, even though they sometimes have those typical fights. when they moved back to korea, cynthia was only 11 years old. suddenly, she wasn't that popular anymore, because she wasn't that special either. but she quickly made some lovely friends, and she started to live by the motto of 'better a few great friends than a bunch of fake ones'. she again had a great life, without really having any problems, she was an extremely happy girl who was able to do what she loves. when she was old enough, cynthia started to look for companies to become trainee. it wasn't as easy as she thought, a lot of companies refused her because of her odd pronounciation and lack of dancing skills. so she started to practice her flaws to try to make them her strong points. now people find her pronounciation very charming, and because she was teached by her brother and the original 24k back in their predebut days, she became much better at dancing too. she was able to finally take away her flaws, and after a year of not auditioning at all, her older brother finally prepared to debut, back in 2012, that gave her extra power to go for it, and instead of going for small companies, cynthia immediately went for jyp, and she got accepted. she was so hyped and euphoric that she made a victory dance, but she tripped and sprained her ankle. jyp didn't mind at all. she got her own trainee life, working as hard as she could while finishing her studies with great grades as well. it was a very busy and exhausting life, because she also had to make time to go and support her older brother, who had to go through a lot of hard times with members leaving and scandals. she always had to be there to comfort him and help him and s out. cynthia helped them make it, and now they already exist for five years. And now it is her turn to shine, finally. she just hopes that her group won't be like the group of her older brother.
lifestyle
she gets recognised quite a lot of times, because of her signature blonde hair, but it is especially when she's hanging around at her school or the entertainment buildings of jyp and choeun. every 24u knows her, some of them love her, some of them hate her, because she's coming really close to their 'oppa's', surely after her dating rumors with Jeonguk.
〈 the anchors 〉
family
Older brother / Hong cory / age 26 / leader of 24k, they are super close and a great team, but fight over the smallest things.
friends
best friend / Lee changsun / age 20 / member of 24k, same age as soyeon. super cheerful, bright and optimistic as her, they tease each other way too much
chinese buddy / Liang hui / age 21 / member of 24k. teaches her mandarin. a very calm, insecure and shy boy, but he completely opens up when with cynthia. might have a crush on her but it's a mistery.
fake little brother / Shim Hongseob / age 19 / maknae of 24k, when he joined together with changsun in summer of 2016, they got a lot of hate. while changsun brushed it off, hongseob really got hit, because he was still so young and he's a sweet innocent angel. cynthia helped him through the harsh times and now he's a happy and hyper boy, but loves to bully cynthia
partners in crime / Yoon dowoon / age 21 / maknae and drummer of Day6. Cynthia and Dowoon immediately had a bond since the first day they met, but no one knows how they are so close. they tease everything that moves in jyp entertainment and people either love or hate to see them together. prepare for trouble, make it double, only a cat and they would be team rocket.
best female friend / valerie wong / age 19 / member of Iris. Cynthia gets along well with every single member of iris, but she feels close to valerie in particular. it is a relief for cynthia to have such a good girl friend, because she's used to being surrounded by boys. they can talk about girly stuff together. cory also really likes valerie, as friend of course.

〈 the love story 〉

current status status unknown, they have kissed, they have cuddled, but because Cynthia is preparing for her debut, Jeonguk is taking it slow and waiting with his confession. they are planning on dating in secret. currently they are drifting on the border of dating or not.
intruduction
back in 2013, when Seokjune was the first to leave cory's group 24k, it was announced that jeonguk would join them. cynthia was very excited to meet him, but she was also a little held back because seokjune was like a big brother to her. he turned out to be a total cutiepie who tries to be a thug, and cynthia loved it. they went along immediately, first as great friends, later on they started to both develop a crush on each other, and there is a lot of tension between them, even ual, what makes jeonguk very shy. but because of their idol and trainee life, they are taking it really, like really slow. to the annoyance of the rest of 24k, who are constantly pushing them to get together, what makes both of them flustered and shy. but they have an incredibly close bond, and cynthia expects, and hopes that they will be together forever. it makes cory a bit uncomfortable, because he sees jeonguk as his oldest son, because '24k is a family and I'm the dad', and his little sister and his oldest son are dating, which would basically be super ed up if it was real. when cory starts talking about it, both cynthia and jeonguk just roll their eyes and start to bully him.
interactions
they are shipped incredibly hard and strangers think they are dating already, because they hug, cuddle, kiss and cling to each other. yet when someone brings it up, they turn very shy and blush madly. everyone of their friends wonder why they aren't together yet. they aren't only all about affection, they also tease and bully each other a lot. one of cynthia's favourite things is to diss her rockstar.
ending will eventually end up together in secret
trivia
their appearances say 'opposites attract'
jeonguk has several tattoos, a few on his arms, the logo of 24k on his chest and a gun on his abs
his laugh is really adorable
he hates it when people touch his ears
he's really proud of his 24k tattoo and loves to show it off
he's a total weirdo and isn't afraid of doing weird things on broadcast
their dates mainly consist of eating pizza in a pillow fort
they just love to stare in each other's eyes without saying a word
their relationship is healthy and happy
jeonguk is the only 24k member cynthia hasn't fought with yet
〈 almost done 〉
alias hi! i'm Sien! nice to meet you, blue (did you know that i like an idol named blue?)
comments if you have anything that you want to see changed, don't be afraid to tell me. also, i tried to match the pictures with the colors of that paragraph and I think I did really well!
questions the password is our favourite iris 1/2 member, but they aren't even revealed yet?
sugestions there's nothing wrong, really, great job!
requests
i would just be happy to see 24k appear
also, I expect to see labelmates in the story too, and i think jackson might appear too. this isn't really necessary but chinese idols tend to bond much quicker than other idols, so jackson and hui would immediately get along. this probably won't happen but it would be a nice addition on the side.
