PERSONALITY —
• Positive : Eunbi has a good imagination and comes up with good ideas, she usually comes up with symbolic meanings for stuff too, she seems to find a way to make up a story or meaning behind everything. When doing something she enjoys, she puts 100% effort into it and never slacks, even sacrificing herself to get the results she wants or expected of her rather than producing sloppy work at her own convenience. Chaos doesn't faze her and she always carries herself calmly, and won't be the kind to get excited over small things or scream and yell when she's angry. She always stands by her loved ones and prioritises them over anything else.
• Negative : Eunbi is easily upset by criticism but only shares her worries with a few trusted people. When she feels bad, she needs a lot of assurance from her loved ones that what haters say or what she believes is not true, and this is something they find tiring to deal with. She has a tendency to want to give up when things become unenjoyable or plans become too tedious to maintain, or if she feels she is working too hard but her goals are nowhere near in sight. She thinks she's trying to be nice by not telling her loved ones or others when they tick her off, but the truth is she doesn't like resolving conflicts and hopes that by hiding how she really feels, she'll be able to maintain a positive relationship with them.
• Neutral : Eunbi is a bit hesitant in getting to know people and it takes time for her to open up to them. She dislikes wasting time especially when she feels that the time wasted could have been spent doing more productive or meaningful things. She also hates waiting for long periods of time, whether it's 5 minutes or 5 hours, especially when she feels the waiting time was unproductive or meaningless, and waiting for confirmation for long periods of time makes her panicky. She does love her loved ones but doesn't know how to tell them and doesn't like being ostentatious in showing love and appreciation, but tries to show so through small gestures or just saying things like "I love my friends". She's selective about who she lets into her circle, and if she has a bad impression of someone, it'll take a lot of time and effort for them to change her mind.

BACKGROUND —
• Many people say they were "born for this" when talking about their occupation, but for Eunbi it could never be truer. Since the age of five, she was sent for ballet and piano classes by her parents, who hoped that she could make a name for herself from either, or both of them. However, her mentors for both weren't exactly very nice when she messed up, as humans always do. Any human would be hurt if you said what Eunbi's mentors said to her, what more she was only five. However quitting was not an option for her, that's what her parents said. Poor Eunbi could not do anything but to accept her fate. However, it seemed like a good thing that she did, as she was was noticed by a street caster of JYP Entertainment at the age of 7 during a ballet recital.
• With idols gaining a name, Eunbi's parents thought it would be so prestigious for her to pursue an idol career and signed her on as a JYP trainee. Unfortunately, Eunbi failed to debut a total of thrice, and eventually decided to leave the company (will be elaborated under trainee life). Eunbi's parents were disappointed in her and refused to contact her after that. However, she didn't want those years of training and her wasted youth to come to nothing, and decided to try to make it as an independent artist while working as a part-time dance coach. In 2016, Eunbi started a Youtube channel where she did covers of popular songs as well as her own choreography. However, it wasn't long before her dream of being an idol came back to her. She decided to audition for a small company with less trainees, maybe that would give her a better chance. That's how she ended up in Nova Media, as a member of the girl group Ojala.

TRAINEE LIFE —
•
Being a student isn't exactly a walk in the park, and everyone knows how crazy training to be an idol can be, and she was still taking ballet classes, up to the age of 15. Eunbi finished elementary and middle school as per her parents' wishes, but when high school came, everything got too stressful for her and she dropped out in the middle of her first year. Didn't matter, right? She was still making her parents proud.
• Eunbi's first failed opportunity to debut was when she was chosen to be in the lineup for Wonder Girls, but later was removed from the lineup as they wanted 7 members, because 7 is a lucky number, and she was passed over in favour of Sunmi. She later had an opportunity to debut in Miss A, only to lose to Min in her final evaluation. To this day, she's still salty that they chose Min over her, because Miss A's debut MV was ballet-inspired, and being a former ballerina, she feels it unjustified that she wasn't chosen, despite her love-hate relationship with ballet.
• When it was announced that JYP would be debuting a nine-membered girl group called Twice, Eunbi thought it was finally her big break, but she wasn't even considered as she was out of the age range they wanted for the cute and youthful concept. Eunbi finally accepted the fact that she was never gonna debut under JYP, and decided to leave the company just before Twice's debut. With her idol career seemingly over and her parents cutting ties with her, it seemed like the end of Eunbi's world, but after almost 2 years in the void, Eunbi decided to try again for the last time and auditioned for Nova Media with a self-choreographed ballet routine.
• Eunbi was chosen as a candidate for the girl group Ojala when she joined Nova Media. There were many times she thought she wasn't going to make it and almost wanted to give up, but she promised herself she wouldn't stop trying until and unless she failed. Eventually, she debuted as a member of Ojala on 6 June 2018. This wasn't, however, without struggles. To this day, she still feels like she'll never be good enough when she thinks about how she spent 17 unproductive years in JYP, which led to her having mental health issues.
