Background — 
On camera, Yeon hye shows a more subdued side of her, a little more shy than her natural persona. this is because she doesn't want to be seen as too-exaggerated or annoying in any way. if she keeps calm and quiet on set, people will see her as soft and composed. yeon hye always makes sure to keep a happy face on, no matter the situation. although she's social off camera, she usually keeps to herself more on camera (during live shows or variety shows) because in the past she has gotten comments from netziens that she seems fake and too flirty when she socializes with everyone. Her actual acting persona is much more confident because she feels good about herself and her career, knowing she has talent and that the majority of comments she gets are towards the character, and not her real self.

Off camera, yeon hye is a social butterfly. she's always smiling and greeting people, enjoying time out around other people. it's due to how she was raised. despite being born in south korea, she left the country at the age of 7 to travel with her parents. first stop- dublin, ireland. Her father did a lot of work as a lawyer, helping big name charity companies across the world, mostly pertaining to patents (things like the life straw, and the jakpak). The family lived there for just over 3 years before moving to chicago, illinois, USA at the age of 10. this time, they were there for 4 years before going back to south korea (age 14). they didn't have much time to settle, as they moved to rome, italy when yeon hye was 16. she didn't arrive back in korea until she was 18, where she immediately began to scour for jobs. although she didn't have a firm idea on what she wanted to do in life, she did always love watching movies and tv shows, hence why she was interested in acting. Plus, because her grades were mediocre dur to the constant moving, she felt too stupid to attend university. while working a temporary job in a book store, she managed to land acting auditions at a few different companies. she was accepted at age 19 and debuted in her first small tv drama roll at 20. because she was constantly moved around, she's always been quick to make friends and adapt to different social situations.

Language fluency: 
korean - 99% fluent / grew up speaking the language and often spoke it at home, even in foreign countries. struggles more with writing/reading than speaking.
english - mostly-fluent / went to english speaking schools in usa/ireland/italy. better at speaking than writing/reading.
italian - beginner/conversational / attended an english-speaking school, but took italian classes while there. better at speaking than writing/reading but basic skills over all.
irish gaelic - very beginner/only a few words / it's not really spoken widely in ireland because english is the main language / spoken words only, can't write any

Appearance — She's usually a casual dresser- jeans and simple tops over skirts or dresses. If she had the choice- skirts and dresses wouldn't exist. Despite that fact though- she does clean up nicely when needed. Yeon Hye tends to lean towards solid colors, especially black, white, or pastels, over wild patterns or neon colors. Though she does have a liking towards wearing florals during spring and summer! She doesn't feel one way or the other about fitting- both fitted and loose fit her style. While exercising, Yeon Hye wears sports bras or crop tops and sweat pants or leggings.

Personality — (+) organized, clever, respectful, cooperative, trustworthy
(+/-) calm, social, breezy, caring, subjective
(-) impulsive under pressure, immature, selfish, hard headed, unimaginitive

Yeon Hye has a very organized mind, everything has it's place. this helps her in many ways, from living every day life, to scheduling her life. from getting up every day at 6:30 am to exercise, to eating, to arriving 5 minutes early for her appointments, she values a steady lifestyle. she's very clever, she was top 10 in her class during school. not only is she clever in academics, she is rather clever when it comes to speaking with others, quick-witted and original. it's very helpful for public speaking, such as interviews or films. above all, one of her most prideful traits is her respectfulness. it's a value her parents taught her from a young age, wanting to promote the Korean side of her even while living abroad, where bowing and such isn't common like in Korea. she uses formal language all the time, even keeping it up for a long time between those of the same age. no matter the reason, she finds there is never a time it is okay to be disrespectful to another human. ONE THING SHE PRIDES HERSELF IN IS HER COOPERATIVE NATURE. IT WAS SOMETHING SHE LEARNED FAST GROWING UP- ALWAYS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE BEST RESULT. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW TIMES, SHE REALLY DOES TRY HER BEST AT WORKING WITH OTHER PEOPLE TO GET THE JOB DONE. BEING TRUSTWORTHY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HER, AND IT'S A VALUE THAT MANY OF HER FRIENDS COMPLIMENT HER FOR. LITTLE SECRETS OR BIG ONES, OR EVEN JUST BEING THERE AS A SHOULDER TO LEAN ON, YEON HYE IS PROUD TO BE TRUSTWORTHY.

the negative sides of Yeon Hye can be a big influence on how people see her. although her mind is organized, if she's under pressure, she may act out impulsively, sometimes stupidly. this attitude has caused many happenings in her life, including the first time she got drunk, the first time she kissed a boy, and the first time she smoked a cigarette. she can also be quite immature, being the only child growing up, she was somewhat spoiled by her parents. with daily living being more manageable in some other countries, she got many of the things she wanted simply by asking for them. when she doesn't get her way, she may cross her arms and whine about it, or take whatever it is. her immature side is seen more when it comes to being picked on- if she's teased or scolded, it's likely that she'll cry. maybe not right away, but minutes later she'll be in the corner of the room or in a bathroom crying. part of that is because she's also selfish. she wants the best, and she wants it only for herself. she wants to be the top of the pyramid, whether she deserves it or not. OVERALL, ONE OF THE BIGGEST NEGATIVE FACTORS TO HER, IS HER HARD-HEADED ATTITUDE. SHE SUPPOSES IT CAME FROM TRAVELLING FOR SO MANY YEARS, BUT IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT ONCE HER MIND IS SET, IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE IT. SHE CAN BE VERY SET IN HER WAYS, DOING THINGS A CERTAIN WAY EVEN IF IT'S NOT THE BEST WAY OF DOING IT. EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT NOT SEEM IMPORTANT, HER LACK OF IMAGINATION HOLDS HER BACK A LOT. IF YOU ASK HER WHAT CONCEPT SHE'D LIKE TO DO for a photoshoot, SHE'D FUMBLE AROUND AND THEN SIMPLY SAY "GIRL'S GENERATION" EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT A PROPER ANSWER. SHE'S VERY BAD AT COMING UP WITH NEW IDEAS, AND DESPITE BEING QUICK ON HER FEET, HER QUIPS AND COMEBACKS AREN'T ALWAYS THE MOST CREATIVE.

[mother- kim yeon sun - 54 - they got along well when she was younger, always hanging out. they were close like best friends, but once she became a teenager, their relationship got strained. Yeon Sun didn't approve of Yeon Jae's boyfriend's and often scolded her about anything and everything she was doing wrong. they still see each other a couple times a week and talk on the phone sometimes, but it's a very superficial relationship, they don't talk about deep or personal subjects anymore.]

[gossip friend/idol - yura (girl's day) - 24 - Yura and Yeon Hye did modelling work together, and they clicked quite quickly. Their friendship mostly consists of going out shopping or for drinks/meals, and always includes catching up on the latest celeb-centric gossip. They always try to keep well concealed so they can have "girl time" without much trouble from others.]
