ethnicity : Korean
place of birth: Incheon, South Korea
hometown : Seoul, South korea
Background — 
On: When she's on camera, she does what she can to put off a charming persona, though she doesn't really speak unless she's spoken too. She isn't shy, she's just quiet and she prefers to observe rather than be the biggest personality in the room. She gives off a pure vibe, like Korea's little sister. The girl next door. She never really appears on camera with dark make-up or clothes, so she gives off a young and bright vibe. Emanating youth. 

Off: Gayul was born in Incheon, South Korea but that's not where she grew up. Her mother and father were visiting her grandparents when her mother went into labor a month too soon. She was rushed to the hospital where she gave birth to her 5 pound daughter. Gayul was put in an incubator for a month and a half before she was allowed to go home to Seoul. 

Growing up was pretty Regular for Gayul. She didn't have any siblings, so it was just her and her parents, who loved her quite a bit. She tried hard in school and had a stable friend group. When she was seven years old, She and her father were walking home from the grocery store when she was noticed by a talent scout and ultamitely scouted as an actress. She officially signed with redline Entertainment and began her acting career. 

From the time she was eight years old, she had minor roles in Korean Dramas such as "A Happy Woman" and "Que Sera sera." She recieved her first major role when she ten years old and She continued acting into her teen years, gaining popularity. She was climbing the ranks as an up and coming young actress. People generally said to keep an eye out for her because she would end up taking over the korean drama industry.

Her mother was extrememly supportive but her father had a different opinion. he didn't think that children should be wasting their time on entertainment. He wanted her to focus on school. It wasn't until she won her frist acting award at 14 years old that he ended up coming around to her acting being a real career. He would still rather her be focused on her studying, but he knows she loves it, so he doesn't forbid it or anything like that. 

When she was twelve, she was involved in a minor car accient. She walked away with bruises and scratches, but a shattered wrist. Took awhile for her to recover and she still deals with lingering pain from it. 

Despite all her success with acting, Gayul had aspirisions to break into the music industry. She had always wanted to sing and be on stage, so when she was fifteen, she decided she would try out for an Entertainment company proucing idols and idol groups. She took her leave from redline entertainment and began auditioning for enertainment companies known for producing idols and Idol groups. FNC Entertainment snatched her up pretty quick and began her training. She spent her time training there, doing Minor roles in dramas whenever she had time right up until her official solo debut. 

Now that she's an offical artist, she doesn't get to act as much, but she still does appear in dramas here and there. She hopes that she can balance both careers, cause her heart is in both. She has yet to land a lead role in a production since her idol debut. 

group/soloist or actor/actress: Actress Turned Soloist 
how long have they been active (when did they debut?): May 22, 2016 (1 year) 
details: She goes by the the stage name Mia
background info): 
FNC Entertainment started training her immediately in voice and dance. She doesn't exell much in dance at all, so the concepts she's had up till this point didn't involve her dancing at all. 
It was a tough road up to her debut because the company didn't know what to do with her or what concepts would work, so she was shelved for three years while the company spent their time and energy on the artists they already had out, especially aoa. Finally, after those three long years, they took her aside and announced that she would be hanving her solo debut. The company created a wholesome and pure image for her, so her videos and songs have a slower rhythm and a brightness to them. 

She made her debut on the 22 of may, 2016 when she was 19 years old. It immediately sparked controversy and she got a fair amount of backlash. 
"Wait, isn't she an actress? why is she doing music?" 
"she abandoned an amazing acting career to be an idol. that's just sad." 
"it's obvious she wasn't meant to be an idol. she should just go back to acting." 
"She was on her way to being the best acrtess in korea! what is she doing?!" 

Her debut wasn't very popular and her comeback wasn't very popular either. She garnered a lot of hate and it seriously damaged her self-esteem. She very nearly quit because of all the negative attention she was recieving. It wasn't until a fellow Artist from FNC, Chanmi of AOA, talked to her. She let her know that everyone was going to recieve some hate and she needed to be strong and learn to live with it. The fans she would gain was a lot more important and one good comment would overshadow ten mean ones. "It's an idustry where people will tell you you're not perfect, no matter how you feel about yourself. Just work hard and don't lose your fight." 

After that, Mia(Gayul) released her most recent single, "Picture Board." It became and instant classic and gave her her first wins. The single put her on the k-pop map and she feels better about her place in the industry. She just wrapped up official promotions for the song. 


Appearance — Gayul is a girly-girl at heart. She loves dress and skirts, flowly tops and blouses. She wears short heels avidly. She loves floral prints and pastels. She really fits the image FNC gave her because it reflects her personal style. She only wears bright and natural looking make-up and she keeps her dyed brown hair long. she loves to put waves in it and wear the occasional high pony tail. She has a very youthful sort of style which she doesn't often deviate from. She keeps her nails in tip-top condition. 

Gayul is 164.5cm (5'4") tall and weighs 49kg (108lbs).

She's not a fan of dark clothes or darker make-up. Such as YG ENTERTAinment style, she wouldn't fit in at all. She doesn't have any piercings or tattoos.

Personality — 
positive: Loving, good instincs, dignified, Genuine, Realistic
Nuetral: quiet, sensitive, conservative, Regular, Private
negative: insecure, Critical, Disorganized, Naive, Reactionary

Gayul is a very loving person. It's just who she is to care and to embrace the people in her life with love. her parents and friends especially. she now extens that same loving nature to her fans, who she is so thankful to have. one day, she hopes she can entend that love to a significant other, though she doesn't know when that could be. she's got good instincs and has been following them ever since she started in the entertainment industry. whether it be during an acting performance or on stage, she trusts herself enough to be natural and know what to do. She is dignified in every sense of the word. she enters a room with elegance and she tries to be respectful and command other's respect whereever she goes. she doesn't exactly command a room, but she is graceful whenever she is around others, in public, or on camera.

She does what she does and says what she says genuinely with her whole heart. She's genuine in her love for acting and her love for music which she tries to emulate on stage and through her k-drama's. she's genuine when she talks to her fans and when she's around her friends. she's always 100 percent whole-hearted. She thinking realistically. She doesn't think practically because that is another think entirely. nothing about her life has been practical but she is always realistic. she's realistic about how far she feels she can take both her acting and music careers. she's realistic about what it takes to be successful. she's realistic about what will happen if she orders the burger instead of the salad.  
 

Gayul is pretty quiet actually. she prefers to be an observer rather than outspoken. she doesn't initiate conversation, so she only really speaks when she's spoken to. she isn't really considered loud whatsoever. She has a very sensitive heart and demenour. She doesn't have as thick a skin as one should have in the entertainment industry. She manages okay, but she knows very well that words hurt, and she takes a lot of it to heart and acknowledges that it hurts. Ignoring it seems unhealthy in retrospect. She's quite convervative. she doesn't like to show a lot of skin when she wears clothign and she doesn't enjoy doing any dances or concepts that have a y theme. SHe would rather keep her cleavage and her upper thighs covered up. She wouldn't like having everything out like that. she barely tolerates showing a little midriff every once in awhile, but it has to be a little bit.

She considers herself pretty average and regular. she doesn't really see herself as some incredible talent or some stunning beauty. she think that she has charm and personality and when combined with her work ethic, that's how she's gotten so far. but she doesn't think her skills are anything new or unique and she feel like she looks like a typical korean woman. Nothing too special about her. she is a very private person. she doesn't talk about her personal life very often. She likes to keep her personal matter just that. personal. she doesn't see the gain in talking about all things pertaining to her. "why does everyone need to know that? it has nothing to with them." 


Gayul is very insecure. She has slight image issues, just because she doesn't like the way her face looks compared to others. She doesn't think she's skinny enough. she doesn't think she's talented enough to be a break out star in music. she thinks her acting skills are just average. Despite what people say, she is still struggling with how she sees herself, and she knows other people do too, so she feels like this insecurties she has are normal. She over thinks and is critial about everything. She watches her dramas avidly to see where she can improve. she ove thinks when she performs, which her trainers have pointed out and have advised that she get out of her own head and just have fun. she loves what she does, but she wants everything she does in the entertainment industry to be perfect, she is one disorginized person. and it's not the mild disorginized with her stuff. it's her thoughts and her actions too. she can be scattered with her demenour right before a performance, and sometimes backstage or on set she will be all over the place with what she's doing. it can confuse the people she's working with. she does this around her friends too, making them worry about her. she's just very scattered off camera.

She's pretty naive when it comes to some things. Love and dating being a big one. she doesn't really understand how it works or how she's supposed to act or what she should do. she's naive when it comes to industry manipulation and what will be expected of when she makes it big. she knows what it takes to get there, but not what it takes to remain there. she still has a lot of growing to do, being so young. she's very reactionary. rarely ever taking the initiative, she is often reacting to people or situations. she prodomanately listens and reacts instead of leading.
