► "Ah, Jaehyun? I swear, this kid better stop bottling her feelings up or I swear..! I'm kidding. Well, what can I say? She likes to keep to herself. You're special if she ever decides to open up her heart to you, but please, treasure it. Once Jaehyun decides to take you in her wing, she'll go through heaven and hell just to make you happy." -Bang Yongguk ; Jaehyun's favorite 'oppa'.

 

Labeled as a 'kuudere' by none other than Moon Jongup, Jaehyun is always seen as a person who is calm and composed all the time. She's usually serious and is always in-charge of a situation. She never panics and she's one to turn to whenever someone's in a crisis.  She speaks monotonously in a calm voice, which just adds +100 sarcasm points to her comments and often looks unaffected/unfazed over any/everything. She never seems to happy, excited, or surprised--just as much as she never appears sad, annoyed or angry. Some might even think that she looks completely emotionless. That's just because people have a hard time reading her emotions. She looks all the same when she's happy, sad, angry, annoyed, excited--all the same. She has this what you call the 'resting face' or downright looks unimpressed all the time and she doesn't care one bit or try to even change it. She is very patient; having an older brother who is borderline an idiot and an equally outgoing eldest brother, Jaehyun learned how to deal with them patiently, thinking of herself as the most sane sibling. Another trait of hers also, is that she gets over things quickly. She doesn't hold grudges as for her, it wastes her energy. She'd rather drop it. She hates small talk and doesn't beat around the bush. Usually in a conversation, most questions directed to her would only get one-worded answers. If you're lucky enough, she'll answer you a full sentence. It's not that Jaehyun's afraid of talking; she just chooses not to. But don't mistake it as her being rude. It's just that she hates prolonging conversations as it wastes her energy. Her brothers often joke that Jaehyun's favorite phrase is "..." as it is, which gets them a glare in return. Deep down though, she'll do anything to protect her friends and her loved-ones. Despite being stoic most of the time, she secretly cares for them and their happiness. She'll do everything she can while staying in the background just to make her loveones happy.

 

 

Jaehyun enjoys quiet hobbies such as reading, painting and writing lyrics. You see, Jaehyun loves her silence. If her background of one-worded answers didn't give it away yet, then here it is. She values her silence and would send an icy glare to someone who dares disrupt it. Despite being a person with a resting face syndrome, she does show her smile or laugh to people she's extremely close with; and they value it a lot. It's a big deal to everybody for Jaehyun to even crack a smile, much more make her laugh. That sometimes, people think she's scary, that's until they get to know her. 

Because of her one-worded answers or less words, she tends to be blunt; having to say what she has to say in one shoot and drop than give subtle hints. What she feels of the question you ask her, you'll get an honest answer. If you're unlucky enough, she'll give you the harsh truth.
People around her most especially, know not to push her to her anger point. It happened once, and it's not a pretty scene. You see, the people who are usually calm tend to explode the moment they've reached their limit--that doesn't exempt Jaehyun. You anger her and you could consider yourself basically invisible to her.

 

No one is perfect. As much as we hear this trite nugget, a lot of us do not take it to heart. (Nudge, nudge.) Jaehyun is the type of person who does not only admit her imperfections, she applauds them. She knows where her strength lies, where she can improve and when to get the heck outta dodge and let others take the lead. Trying to be perfect at everything is inefficient, and Jaehyun just ain’t got no time for that. She loves herself for who she is — and for who she's not. Now, some people may think this practice is b-tchy, but in reality, it’s pretty respectful. What, you ask? Jaehyun says no. She doesn’t overcommit and she doesn’t make false promises. She just says no. Why? Because she'd rather state the truth and decline rather than tell a white lie and then flake out later. And, she doesn’t have time for everything. No one does. The difference is, burnout simply isn’t on Jaehyun's agenda, so she makes sure to commit to things she’ll actually enjoy instead of piling every little thing onto her calendar for the sake of other people. Truth bomb.

 

So important, don't miss out on this. she knows trying to accomplish everything alone is virtually impossible. She doesn’t feel threatened or belittled by seeking help from others. Just like a king has an entire court to assist with daily functions, she has a support group ready to go. Mental tune-ups are their chamomile teas. She values a third party bringing out the best in her. Plus, she has someone to blab to about that epic slip-up with you-know-what at the you-know-where and stuff got real.

 

 

No matter what the circumstance is, Jaehyun strives to understand her emotions AND own up to them. There’s no hide and seek happening with her jealousy — she lets it all out. She takes the opportunity to express herself without blaming others, and confirm that she is understood. Then, she returns the favor by listening to the other side.

 

While she remains strict and business-like, she is emotional underneath her self-control. However, she tends to fear showing any sign of weakness such as crying when someone's around, confessing that she likes someone, or just plainly depend on somebody.
+Fun personality fact: Jaehyun has an eccentric (dry) humor that throws everyone off (i.e: Sleeps at times that call for drastic measures, sleeps when her brothers nag at her, anything basically eccentric.)

 

background / 

► Jaehyun was born in Jeollanam-do, Gwangju, South Korea, from a family of five. Their parents, two older brothers and her. When she was four years old, her family moved to Busan due to her father's work being relocated. At home, she's the cultured kid. Her brothers being overly attentive to her and protective around her in school, and her parents giving her everything she needs, and even giving her things she doesn't need. When her older brother Daehyun, went to Seoul to start training at TS Ent, and she, 14 years old, she expressed wanting to tag along--and so, her and her two brothers, moved to Seoul, their eldest brother, at the age of 21, was already working by then.

Seeing her older brother work his of to be an idol, Jaehyun immediately felt a pull within her. That's when she started asking questions to her brother about training, singing and whatnots of being a trainee, because just like him, they share the same talent. Singing. Just like her older brother Daehyun who has the voice of an angel's; Jaehyun's passion is singing. "Why don't you see for yourself?" Daehyun challenged her one time, and knowing Jaehyun, she doesn't back down from challenges. And from then, she auditioned to TS Ent by herself, not even asking for help from her brother.

2009-2013; The first four years were passing by fast for Jaehyun (with her appearing in numerous music videos in B.A.P [also in BigHit's BTS] and being a backup dancer for Secret), and before she knew it, her contract has expired. No, I can't let this happen. I didn't train for nothing. I NEED to debut. She thought. So with the thought in mind, she bravely resigned for another trainee contract at the same entertainment. (Not that she minded the expenses. It's not like her family's walking on eggshells.)
2013-2014; Because TS Ent is disregarding Jaehyun's talent (except for her face - that is not a talent), paying attention to boy trainees than girls, even after working her of 24/7, she figured just after the end her contract on the long years of agonizing training in TS Ent, that she needs to switch companies--fast. She doesn't need this neglection in any form. She's not bigheaded--but she could safely say that her talent is not one to look passed to. If she wants to debut, she has to help herself, or no one else will. 

 

 

When she first learned about Blossom Entertainment's auditions (through Daehyun, who's an idol already), she already made up her mind in transferring there. Sure, there are a lot of companies she could choose from, but she can't explain how 'pulled' she felt when she heard of the said label. It was like there was an invisible force urging her to go and try it out.

 

Daehyun, along with Yongguk's help, laid out the contact details of the persons Jaehyun should call if she decides to pursue Blossom Ent; Jaehyun, however, voiced out that she didn't need the contact numbers and just asked her brother, Hyunjae, to personally accompany her to the company to ask for an audition herself.
She was told to audition two weeks later with her own materials (music to sing and dance to) and Hyunjae 'helped' her prepare for it. Asking for his opinion, Daehyun suggested Zico's "It Was Love" to be Jaehyun's audition song and Beyonce's "Yonce" to be the song Jaehyun dances to. Eventually, Jaehyun was helped by Hyunjae by means of evaluating both her dance and vocal practices in the standpoint of a non-biased judge. "They'd be fools to not accept you. You're doing exeptionally well! I bet they wouldn't even think of the word 'no', I swear." Hyunjae said.

 

When the day came that Jaehyun would audtion, Daehyun and Hyunjae weren't with her that time as they had previous work errands to attend to, they just dropped off Jaehyun at the company and went their ways.
She started her audition with the song her older brother Daehyun had picked for her to sing, Zico's "It Was Love" featuring F(x)'s Luna, saying it would suit her vocals the best. And when she was done, she could hear a faint murmur of 'her english is sooo on point' and another murmur replying 'shh tone it down' before she heard the faint beat of Beyonce's Yonce fill the room and she instantly morphed into a y dancer. "Wow." One male panelist whispered in awe as Jaehyun moves efortlessly on the floor and a female panelist had to nudge his chin to prompt it to close as he looks like a fish out of water.

✩ Jaehyun from the start seems cold. quiet, serious and emotionless but she can be very sweet and soft on the inside, although she doesn't show her sweet side as often.
✩ Since she doesn't talk much, she bakes for the people she cherishes as a sign of her affection to them and hands it to them with no words said; if they're close to her, they should already know what that means. (Her brothers abuse this. "Jaehyunnie~ I feel like I want to eat Banana Cake tomorrow" "Jaehyunnie~, I've been craving for carrot cake..." etc.)

trainee years / Five years in TS Ent, Two years in Blossom Ent = 7 Years
trainee history / There's no doubt that Jaehyun got the judges' attentions, and soon as she finished her dance, one from the bunch (a producer) asked her "Are you, by any chance, associated with BAP's Jung Daehyun?" And Jaehyun answered with a nod of her head as she gathered some stray hairs away from her face to tuck it at the back of her right ear. "I see! I could almost hear him in you earlier! Glad I wasn't wrong with my assumptions!"

► And just as her brothers had predicted, not even 48 hours had passed since Jaehyun's audtion that they contacted her, saying that she passed the auditions and that she could start training the next day if she pleases.

Training in Blossom Ent was all too much to take in; from the trainers to her co-trainees. But Jaehyun could say that she's doing well; training well and having no bad blood with someone.
But that's what she thought. Her talent was beyond underrated by the trainees, guys and girls alike. They tend to discredit her talent because all they see in her is her body.body.body. Some even had the guts to call out that the only reason why Jaehyun was accepted into Blossom Ent is because she has a banging body. But Jaehyun doesn't care. At all. They poke fun at her because of her body? So be it. Not her fault, anyway. But all remains for her. The goal is to debut.

 

How'd she come to be more confident in her skill? "
"You are my sister and you have the voice an angel would be jealous of. Keep singing. For me, for you, for the people around you." -Hyunjae.
"If I could, you most definitely could. You're my talented angel and you're my sister. Fighting!" -Daehyun.
Her brothers NEVER FAILED, NOT EVEN ONCE, to either tell this to Jaehyun or to text it to her, or stick a post-it to Jaehyun's bathroom's mirror EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. That's what kept her going. That's what became her fuel, her drive, her inspiration to share her talent and make it known to others. But unlike her brothers who encourage her everyday with positive notes, her parents are exactly the opposite.

"I can't believe you're my daughter. How can you not sing in front of an audience?" -Mom. 
"You think you can sing just because your brothers tell you you do, huh? Go on and prove it. Less talk, more action, kid." -Dad.
She doesn't know when did her parents act like this to her. They never were this harsh to her? But maybe, that's what really kept her going. She wants to prove her own parents wrong. That she's their one and only daughter who could prove not only to them, but to the world, that she could sing--and that singing is a shadow of hers whom she exhibits excellently.

 

 

"The singer whose lovely voice is underestimated."
This is true--in Blossom Ent, Jaehyun's voice is underestimated by her co-trainees, girls and boys alike. That's because they pay more attention to her looks that they began to think that that's what she'll only ever have--her looks and her beautiful figure, that they pay no attention whether or not does she have a talent at all.

"Jung Jaehyun!"
It was not even a minute after the CEO voiced out his plans for the new girlgroup and a producer already provided a name he has in his mind for quite some time now. The people inside the room - producers, composers, choreographers, and the CEO himself, looked at him, their faces etched with curiosity at his sudden outburst.

 

"I know about her. What about her?" The CEO asked him and Wonho ran the tip of his tongue at his upper teeth before he in a breath to answer. "I've watched her for a long time now, not in a creepy way, of course! Her audition struck me. Even some panelists were like 'this girl is something!' and from then, I kept track of her. She's crossing the barrier between heaven and hell when she trains. Oh I can't even explain her dedication. I was there when she slept at one of the practice rooms. In her defense, she stayed late, very late, until 8am because she's trying to complete a choreography for the monthly assessment. If that's not desperate dedication, I don't know what is." He explained and upon looking at their faces, he shrugged and said "Just saying, you guys. You can go check the CCTV's for me. That 8am thing was not a one time occurance. Your call, whatever. I was just stating an opinion."
