height 166 CM

appearance Sejin is most notably known to have a cute, girl-next-door appearance and vibe. Her eye-smile is her best feature and makes her easily identifiable amongst the members. Also, unlike most idols, Sejin has monolids and would never go under the knife to change that. She has fair skin, like most, and long hair that varies in color. Sejin is at a pretty decent height with good proportions. She has rather long legs, making her appear taller, and a surprisingly good, slender figure.
fashion She adores oversized shirts or hoodies- the bigger, the better. If not oversized, then t-shirts will do, and Sejin has a preference for denim. Sejin loves to wear Pusheen cat shirts and other cartoon animal shirts. She also wears glasses, much to the displeasure of her parents, since her deteriorated eyesight was caused by playing too many games. At the dorm and for practice, she wears pants or shorts 24/7. however, in public, she has a cuter and more feminine style with dresses, pretty blouses, and skirts. heels, however, at all times are just an all-round discomfort. Walking in them was tolerable for a set number of minutes, but wearing heels and dancing in them? A complete nightmare. She'd rather wear sneakers, but doesn't mind heeled boots or open-toed shoes.
other Sejin wears glasses and can usually be found wearing them when Astral doesn't have any schedules or if they're traveling.
— neutral: Soft-spoken, Big-thinking, Organized(?)
— negative: Naive, Childish, Blunt, Meddlesome, One-Track-Mind
personality Moon Sejin is most definitely a hard worker, since pure talent will only get you so far without putting in the work. Her family doesn't comprise of natural geniuses, aside from being geniuses of hard work, of course. Thus, Sejin naturally puts all her effort into anything she does. Not only that, but she's quite persistent. Even if she makes a mistake, there's just room for improvement, and Sejin persists until she gets it right. Kindness is in her nature and she likes to help others when she can. She's polite and generally pleasant to be around, along with her optimistic nature. Sejin exudes positivity and always tries to look on the bright side, never feeling down for too long. She's a cheerful girl, usually seen with her signature eye smile, and is just generally bright and upbeat.
Surprisingly, Sejin is rather soft-spoken, and speaks in a gentle and quiet tone. It's rare that she speaks loudly or even shouts in anger, since her temper is rather nonexistent. Sejin is also likes to think big and dreams big. It's no surprise that with her personality, she tends to aim for the stars that seem impossible. Sejin is surprisingly organized as well- err, more organized than most people, but decently tidy.
Sejin is an incredibly naive girl who thinks that anyone can do anything if they put their minds to it and wears her heart on her sleeve for everyone to see. She views the world through rose-tinted lenses and can be much too trusting, which can undoubtedly lead to dangerous situations. Sejin is rather childish and tends to indulge herself in things for kids. She likes to collect plushies, flap her oversized sleeves, and dawdle on the arcade games. Sejin also quite blunt in a way that's just brutally honest, but coarse in delivery. At times, her tactless words can unfortunately wound sensitive people, but she doesn't actually mean to. Sejin just does everything in a straightforward manner, thus isn't very subtle. She's also rather meddlesome, as it's in her nature to want to help others, but it is also in her nature to be (annoyingly) persistent in other people's business. Sejin is also very one-track-minded and has a tendency to only focus on one task at a time, making her unfortunately oblivious at times as well as completely dense.
background On a rainy April 30th, 1993 in London, Moon Sejin was born as the youngest child of three. Her father works as a geoscientist and her mother a travel nurse around the world, thus having to travel around the world, never staying too long in one place. Sejin grew up in the shadow of her two other sisters, Chaejin and Yoojin, the former going into anesthesiology and the latter going into archaeology. Sejin wasn't the smartest student, but she did pretty okay. Trying to find something she enjoyed was difficult, but by fortune's hand, Sejin was street-casted to participate in a CF for Trombear. This marked the beginning of her career in 1999 at the age of 6. Later, she managed to grab a minor role in '01, and impressed her parents with her skill. Acting was where she excelled despite her parents' disappointment of her not going into a more prestigious career. Nevertheless, at least she excelled at something. Thus, Sejin delved into the art of acting, achieving high proficiency in all kinds. However, it stressed her- this was what she was good at, and she needed to be perfect in order not to disappoint her parents further.
The stress of trying to be the best began to eat away at her until she met someone in America at the age of thirteen. Their fathers were business associates, leaving the two of them to socialize much to Sejin's apprehension at the prospect of social interaction. However, the older boy was nice, and introduced her to a stress-relieving activity- games. This did wonders to the young, stress-stricken Sejin, who turned to games as a comfort, and eventually deteriorated her eyesight, causing her to get glasses. Despite her parents' insistence that she stop playing games, Sejin couldn't, as it was the only thing that brought her comfort and relaxation, so she tended to play in private.
After returning to Korea, Sejin delved back into looking for roles with new vigor. She managed to grab a minor role in "Hwang Jini" and when she turned fourteen, her family decided to finally settle in South Korea after years of travel prior. 2007 became her golden year as a young actress as Sejin managed to land a role in the popular historical drama, "The King and I," and played a supporting role in the horror/thriller film, "Hansel and Gretel." In that time, Sejin was enamored by the K-pop groups that debuted as she passed them by at the broadcasting stations. It was like they were literal stars that shined and Sejin dreamed to be just like them, but alas, she had no talent for singing, dancing, or rapping. It was then that she decided to put her acting prowess to use and auditioned for Moonlight Entertainment to help her acquire acting roles with an agency to back her up, finding it fitting due to her surname (as well as hoping to get the chance to try her hand at becoming an idol... little did she know that her fortune led her to exactly that). Due to her exceptional skills in acting, she was accepted and entered the company as an actress in 2007.
likeS
— Coconut // Sejin loves coconuts- drinks, desserts, and even the fragrance puts her in a happy mood.
— Seafood // She absolutely loves seafood. Anytime she can have seafood, she'll order it over even fried chicken or pizza, which are well-loved delicacies in Korea.
— Praise // Her parents were very scarce with praise, but she receives a lot of it in this industry for her acting skills, which Sejin is thankful for. After all, it's something she's honed since she was but a small child.
— Blankets // Sejin loves to wrap herself in a big, fluffy blanket when she's sleeping or just a leisure day. Her favorite blanket is white with dancing baby penguins in winter scarves.
— Inspirational Quotes // Many shirts she wears have them, mostly because Sejin is an optimist at heart and loves encouragement- for herself and for others.
— Pusheen the cat // Sejin absolutely adores Pusheen and its products. She owns a lot of Pusheen shirts and plushies.
dislikes
— Plagiarism // Sejin knows the difficulty and stress of what goes behind the scenes and for such hard work to be stolen is something she never wants people to experience, let alone her members.
— Disorganization // Sejin likes to have things clean and tidy, so it's no surprise that she takes it upon herself to clean the dorm and organize things.
— Being compared // Sejin doesn't like it when the public compare her acting skills with others in the industry. It makes her apprehensive at the thought of not being on par with others at something she was supposed to excell at.
— Bad actors and actresses // Is it really that hard to act? Sejin can't stand the people that dare call themselves actors/actresses when their "skills" are atrocious. It's an insult to the art itself!
— Awkward silences // They remind her of her awkward family dinners where conversation is attempted, but unsuccessful with Sejin's blunt interjections that remind them that they aren't close like they're pretending to be.
hobbies
— Playing games // It's the way she relieves stress and she plays everyday, even if it's for a limited time. Sejin mostly plays JRPGs, but after 2011, she plays a lot of League of Legends when she can.
— Cleaning // Sejin likes to clean up the dorm when she cans and eventually it became a hobby for her. It relieves some stress, but not like the way games can. Also, she swears she's not a clean freak.
habits
— She always carries a portable gaming device with her to play with, even it's just a little. Sejin changes between her PSP (Vita) and (3)DS frequently.
— Sejin takes a deep breath right before she goes into her One-Track-Mind mode.
— When she's excited, Sejin will flap her oversized sleeves happily.
— Sejin loves hand sanitizer (coconut scented of course) and will sanitize her hands frequently. She carries a small, portable one that hangs from her belt loops, or it's in her bag somewhere.
fears
— Small children // Well, more like fearing of being unable to look after them properly and make really horrible mistakes. Sejin will admire from a distance, but will be wrought with anxiousness should they come close.
— Bees and hornets // She's relatively okay with other insects (Err, well...), but if anything with a stinger comes around...
— Cockroaches, especially flying ones // Those THINGS are just monsters and they're unnatural and th-they're just! (probably why Sejin frequently cleans...)
— Being alone // After befriending the members of Astral, Sejin had made friends for once, real live companions. For that, she has developed a fear of one day being separated from them and being alone again.
trivia
— When Sejin cleans the dorm, it faintly smells of coconuts.
— At the end of 2011, League of Legends was launched in South Korea. Intrigued by the game, Sejin tried it out and ended up becoming rather addicted to playing it. She plays any chance she gets and is surprisingly skilled at it. Sejin is currently a Diamond I tier player who mains support champions, usually Nami. Sometimes, when she's up for it, she'll play on the frontlines with Malzahar as a mage (or mess around as a AD Jungle). She isn't in Master or Challenger tier, mostly because she doesn't have the time to play as much as those people. Her username is AstralMoon.
— Sejin is part of a League of Legends pro team with friends she joined online in the beginning of 2012. Her team is called SK Moonlight, since Sejin had to make a compromise with the company to participate in tournaments during certain parts of the year.
— Her luck is insanely good- almost lottery-winning and life-saving good. Her luck tends to help her (and the members sometimes) out of unfavorable situations. Things like luck with arcade machines, winning prizes, being nearly unbeatable at luck-based activites, is Sejin's hidden talent. You can even ask her what number you're thinking of between 1-1000 and she'll guess it right, just because she's that lucky. She's also unbeatable at rock-paper-scissors, oddly enough. On the other hand, her luck doesn't really transfer over to her being able to capture a lot of roles with ease or with music charts... at least, so easily. It tends to fluctuate unpredictably.
— Her favorite foods include all seafoods (especially shrimp or tuna), manduguk, tteokbokki, galbitang, and patbingsu (usually coconut or oreo).
— Sejin didn't get on social media until after her debut with Astral. She only has a twitter under the name @astralmoon where she interacts with fans. Most of the time, Sejin answers fan questions, sometimes even giving League of Legends advice. After a couple of years with Astral in 2013 or so, Sejin got a twich.tv account under the same name, AstralMoon, and streams her League of Legends matches during Astral's breaks.
— Sejin has a League of Legend smurf account (a.k.a. another account besides her main AstralMoon) by the name of MissFortjin (a pun on a champion/character in LoL, Miss Fortune). She uses this account to play with the fans and posts on social media when she'll be playing, as well as streaming on twitch.
— The fans gift her hats or League of Legends merch at fansignings, to which Sejin gladly and gratefully uses. They also like to gift her Pusheen plushies. She'll gradually have a mountain of them on (or in) her bed, but surprisingly organized.
— Sejin is allergic to cherries.
— Her favorite colors are all shades of blue and light pink. She doesn't really like orange or yellow.
— Sejin is extremely good at poker with both her insane luck and her really good poker face (since she is an actress after all).
— She sanitizes her phone and gaming devices daily and offers to do the same for the other members.
Quotes

friends
Face claim: Mblaq Seungho
— sk moonlight member : sang sooyeon : 19 : college student, computer science major : A bright and energetic college student that is Sejin's good friend. Since they're similar in age and personality- as well as being the only females on the team, it's easy for them to converse comfortably and be themselves. Many times, if Sejin wants someone to talk to if not the members of Astral, it's usually Sooyeon, whose energy is very contagious. She's frequently referred to as SK Moonlight's vitamin and energizer. Sooyeon is the team's jungler (secondary top laner) and mains Kha'zix, or Rengar and her username is Sciyeonce (a combination of science, Sooyeon, and Beyonce)
Face claim: After school LIzzy
— sk moonlight member : jang joonyoung : 20 : writer : A sly and sarcastic young man that takes control of the tactics in the team. While he can be a bit abrasive with his sarcasm, Joonyoung cares deeply for his team members, since they are his only friends outside his home, but shows it rarely since he's a bit of a tsundere. He's an action-adventure fantasy novel writer, while not world-famous, is locally acknowledged, but likes to play games more. Joonyoung, to Sejin, is like the annoying older brother she never had, but nevertheless appreciates. He is the team's mid laner (secondary jungler) and mains Orianna, or Ahri and his username is Tsunyoung (Sooyeon chose it for him- a combination of tsundere and his name)
Face claim: zea Hyungsik
— sk moonlight member : song taehyun : 22 : businessman : Expanded in love interest section
others
— Manager/producer : Shin Minho : 26 : manager/producer of astral : sejin looks up to minho like a big brother figure, maybe even a father figure that she never really got to have. she finds his silly jokes funny and listens to his orders obediently.
— members : astral : varies : idols : the members, considering face-to-face interaction. Her childhood was rather lonely, since her sisters didn't try to be close to her, and Sejin spent her time working as a child actress. However, Astral are like... real friends- friends she never really got to experience. Sejin can't help but feel attached to them. She frequently asks the Dancer and the Rapper to help her improve her skills along with asking Misaki.
who is an artist you look up to? "When I frequented the broadcasting stations, I saw Shinhwa-sunbaenim a lot. They have been together for many years and have achieved so many things together. I hope that Astral can follow in their footsteps in the near future."
when did you start getting interested in music? "Hmm.. when I was younger, I passed by many idols at the broadcasting stations, and I couldn't help but be amazed. They're like actual stars in the sky! It was then that I wanted to be like that too, so i started to listen to more and more music."
is there anything you'd like to do in the future? "I'd like to do more acting in the future, maybe even try a villain role. For now, though, I'm going to keep working on my performance skills so that I won't burden the other members."
what are your goals in life? "Right now and for, I hope, a long time, I just want to be with Astral and succeed."
any final words? "I'll do my best to improve my skills and we'll all work really hard to show a great performance. Thank you for supporting us."
stage persona Sejin doesn't act that much differently from her own personality, just comfortable to be herself. Although, you can always find her smiling and typically in a good mood. As an idol, Sejin always wants to send positivity and "shine" like a star, which is why she is always cheerful, even when she's not. She is an actress after all. although, she does do a lot more aegyo, mostly because she's asked to.
trainee years One Year at Moonlight
trainee life A naive child she is, Sejin believed everything would be better now that she was part of a company. However, she didn't expect the company to put her on the back-burner and instead, focus on their idols. Sejin didn't let that get her down, though, and tried auditions, but competition between child actors was difficult. She barely nabbed a supporting role in 2008, a year after she entered the company, and even then it was only because her insane luck put her ahead of the competition. Sejin faced many rejections after that and would glance at the trainees and Starlight with wonder. Could she try to be a trainee- to become an idol? The rest of 2008 was faced with rejections due to the fact that she lacked prestige- that she wasn't a "big name" unlike other child actors who have made a name for themselves, but Sejin kept hope and kept trying. She managed to take a spot as a secondary lead in a horror film due to her past experience in "Hansel and Gretel." However, "Living Death" was a horror film, not exactly something Sejin could get her "big break" in. While the film received pretty good marks, most of the focus went to the director of the film, not the actors. Sejin began to feel anxious about her future, despite her attempts to be optimistic. Is this where it ends? Her reputation in the acting industry made her out as a "horror actress" due to her most identifiable roles were horror films. Many directors soon formed a paradigm that Sejin was suited for only horror/thriller and thus, believed she wouldn't perform as well in other genres. As the years had passed, Moonlight Entertainment was disappointed by Sejin's lack of popularity, and thus her contract was questioned, putting Sejin on the edge. So, when Minho and Misaki approached her about being in a group, Sejin took the chance, hoping to change everyone's mind about her image and also, maybe even fulfill her little dream of being an idol. However, she was in over her head when reality came by to remind her why she didn't try earlier. When training began, Sejin was sorely lacking, and every minute was more grueling than the one before. Moon Sejin was no quitter though and worked harder than she ever did as an actress. The other members were kind, encouraging even, and Sejin soon became attached to them, never really having anyone to call "friends" until now. Not wanting everyone's hard work and generosity to be in vain, Sejin worked extra hard to keep up, and didn't take on any roles in 2010 to focus on her training.

love story While following Sejin's activities closely, Taehyun has also made note of her social media name- AstralMoon, a name he has also seen around the LoL servers. By a of Fortjin, she filled the last slot on his team in a match as the Support. The match was overwhelmingly in their favor and their teamwork was almost perfectly in sync that the opponents had no choice but to surrender. After the match, everyone sent a friend request to her, which she naively accepted. After discussing it briefly, they decided to invite her to the team after a few matches altogther. Sejin decided "why not" and accepted their invite, only to find that their team is aiming to be a pro team and participate in tournaments. The time of the tournaments, however, occur both in spring and fall, which may interfere with Sejin's schedules with Astral. In a straightforward manner, Sejin discussed the matter with both the company and Minho and Misaki, to which they came to a compromise as it can be a way to promote Astral to a certain community. As the team didn't have an official name, it was agreed that it would become SK Moonlight. To prepare for the spring tournament and set a schedule to play, they all agreed to meet in person, which resulted in Moonjin's dating rumor, but fortunately it blew over. With the team gathered together in person in its entirety, they managed to put together a schedule of when and where to play that fit everyone's circumstances. They all exchanged numbers with Sejin as well.
Eventually, Taehyun comes up with an excuse to spend time with Sejin by saying that they need to play together more often in order to fully get used to each other's playing styles (since they will always be working together in matches). Innocently, Sejin goes along with his suggestion, and whenever they can, the two join up and play. Through subtle questioning, Taehyun learns more about Sejin, and ends up growing more fond of her. Sejin also feels more comfortable speaking with him.
In the Spring of 2013, SK Moonlight enters the pro tournament with Sejin and Taehyun's synergy taking their opponents by storm. However, Sooyeon had suffered a hand injury after playing basketball with some college friends, ending in their inevitable defeat in a close match against MVP Ozone. Although Sejin was dejected, Taehyun treated her to patbingsu (and by extension, the rest of the team in order not to generate misunderstandings). Throughout the rest of the year, they still practiced with vigor from time to time.
At the end of 2013 to the beginning of 2014, SK Moonlight ended up coming short against SK Telecom T1 K, who had won the Summer tournament. Although it ended in loss, they all had fun and are still acknowledged as a powerhouse team, coming up second place for the second time. They all go out for dinner.
For the rest of 2014, it is filled with Sejin's activities with Astral and her newest acting role in the TV series "Liar Game" as the main character. After some filmings, Taehyun (along with some members of SK Moonlight, varying from time to time) surprises her with her favorite treats. Throughout the rest of the year, the two of them text more often as well.
In 2015, Minjun reveals that he will be getting married to his significant other of 5 years. The Spring tournament will be his last due to focus on his marriage and family. Everyone in the team respects his decision and agree to still play with each other from time to time for fun. They managed to emerge as the Spring champions in their last tournament, beating out their rival SK Telecom T1 in the closest match of the tournament. After the tournament, SK Moonlight attends Minjun's wedding. Sejin and Taehyun speak about the past after the reception, with Taehyun revealing that they knew each other in the past. Sejin was astonished by this realization, but thanks him honestly for changing her life and introducing her to games, the one stress-relieving activity that works for her. That night, Taehyun also drops off Joonyoung, Sooyeon, and Sejin to their respective homes, being the designated driver due to his abstinence of alcohol. Throughout the rest of the year, their private video-chats end up revealing more about their respective pasts.
For 2016 and 2017, SK Moonlight would meet every now and then for fun. Throughout the year, Sejin and Taehyun would have private video-chats or calls, eventually reaching the point of knowing all there is to each other. Although they are definitely more than friends at this point, Sejin considers Taehyun to be her precious best(?) friend, having never thought of him more than that before. On the other hand, Sejin has become special to Taehyun, as she is the only one who truly knows him. As much as he would prefer to spend more time with her personally, he also (smartly) considers her career and refrains from confessing until her "no-dating" clause expires.
ending Years into the future after 2017, Taehyun manages to confess in person with the help of the members of SK Moonlight. However, Sejin had never thought of Taehyun as other than a friend, but had become confused about her feelings after his confession. Did she feel the same way? So, she asks for more time to consider, to which Taehyun reluctantly agrees, as it's still not a flat-out rejection and there's still a chance. After a discussion with her group members and Sooyeon, Sejin will-
Either come to the realization that she too has feelings for him
OR
Friend-zone him :(
