APPEARANCE Jihyun is a petite and slightly chubby girl with round cheeks and long light brown hair. She is said to look like SNSD's Jessica and Gfriend's SinB by fans.(You can decide how her appearance changes with every comeback, but I want her to dye her hair bright unnatural colours or blonde if possible)
 
STYLE Jihyun usually wears t-shirts with skirts or shorts but if she is feeling fancy she will wear lolita dresses and / or more accessories. She loves cute motifs and pastel colours. Sometimes, her style also has some gothic or yami kawaii influences.
Links : 1, 2, 3, 4
Her dance shoes are a pair of low cut pink converse.
PERSONALITY (+) cheerful, optimistic, loyal, caring (-) sensitive, quick-tempered, hasty, impulsive (0) reserved, selfless, curious, lewd / INFP - The Mediator / Hufflepuff-Gryffindor / Chaotic Good / think : Loona's Choerry, Oh My Girl's Arin, CLC's Elkie

Jihyun is a reserved girl and will appear cold and unfriendly at first but she just takes time to warm up to people. Once she has warmed up to you though, you will enjoy being around her because she is very cheerful and always laughing and smiling, especially during variety shows, live shows and VLives. Furthermore, Jihyun is optimistic and always tries to look on the bright side of a situation, and will never fail to give you encouragement when you are feeling down. Jihyun is also very selfless and puts her members before herself, even if it means sacrificing herself for them, and she will stand up for them and stick with them no matter what because she has a strong sense of loyalty. But she wants them to be happy and healthy because she is very caring towards them.

However in most cases, it ends up being the other members (especially older ones) caring for Jihyun because she has a sensitive heart and is easily upset by mean remarks or seeing others suffer. The older members also need to look out for her because she is impulsive and tends to do or say things without thinking them through, only to regret when she gets into trouble or the consequences fall on her. Jihyun does get into trouble quite often as she is curious and eager to learn more, but sometimes curiousity kills the cat.

In addition, despite her innocent appearance, Jihyun can at times be lewd and make ual jokes or references. When she says weird things on lives, other members usually rush to say "She doesn't mean it!" or "She's just joking!". Another time when these lines will come out from the other members is when Jihyun says harsh words in anger, as she tends to be quick-tempered. Other than helping her cover for her thoughtlessly said words, the other members have to make sure Jihyun focuses and practises properly, as she is hasty when doing things and rushes through them, neglecting them once she thinks she is done with them.
 
BACKGROUND Jihyun's elder sister, Joohyun, wanted to be an idol and often made little Jihyun play pretend as idols with her, something Jihyun grew to enjoy. Joohyun would also play albums of second generation artistes like Super Junior and SNSD, and Jihyun later became a fan of SNSD. Joohyun was accepted to SM Entertainment as a trainee in 2009 when Jihyun was 11, and the latter made the mistake of telling all her school friends that her big sister was going to be an idol causing them to ostracise her as they felt she was arrogant for "bragging" about it. Jihyun learnt her lesson and when she moved on to middle school, she would not talk to anyone unless they talked to her first, and even then, she tried not to overshare.

After Jihyun came across the cover duo Jayesslee while randomly browsing Youtube in 2010, Jihyun too wanted to learn the guitar and begged her parents for guitar lessons, which they agreed to give her because she promised them she'd become a popular idol like Irene. Jihyun later created a Youtube channel where she covered several songs, and was later noticed by a scouter of SM Entertainment in 2014.

The items she most commonly forgets to bring out are her earphones, charging wire and powerbank. She tried to solve this problem by buying two sets of these items, one which she leaves in the dorm and one to bring out.

TRAINING YEARS 2014-2016
TRAINING LIFE Jihyun had just started high school when she started training, and because she was late for practices due to school, she was punished to run 10 rounds around the practise room while singing. She also cried often because of the harsh trainings, and when other trainees were mean to her as they were competing with her to debut as fast as possible. However, she believed if her sister could do it, she could do it too. Finally, in 2016, she debuted in the new girl group Lumiere.
 
REACTION TO BOYCOTT Jihyun was upset at first but with encouragement from the other members (and maybe Irene) she decided to work harder.
RELATIONS 
replace with fc
Sister : Bae Joohyun (Irene) / 25 / Member of Red Velvet / calm, protective, strict, caring / Best Friend
Nowadays, Jihyun and Irene don't interact much due to practise schedules and living in different dorms, but if they do run into other at shows or in the SM building they give each other a hug and words of encouragement, or via text if they are going to be on a show but cannot see each other. Irene may seem calm, but she's very protective of Jihyun so if you mess with Jihyun, you can expect hell from Irene.

replace with fc
Groupmate : Moon Jangmi / 19 / Member of Lumiere / stated in her app / Good Friend
Jangmi and Jihyun have some personality traits that are similar, which makes them click well. But they do have some traits that differ too and that's when they clash. But it's mostly good between them, and they often get into trouble together because of their impulsive nature. (Anything else is up to you)

replace with fc
Groupmates : Lumiere Members / 14-19 / Idols / Varies / she considers them her best friends
Losing all her friends at 11 was a big blow to Jihyun, and as much as she wanted friends in middle and high school, she dared not socialise for fear of being seen as arrogant or used for benefits. Jihyun's members are the only friends she has now, so she'll always cherish them.

(You can decide which SM artistes she is close to because I don't know all their personalities well, but she is a big fan of Red Velvet and SNSD)
oddeye
LOVE INTEREST Amuse's Sato Erika (oc, fc : Hoshino Minami Suzuki Aina, dob February 14 1998 1996, amuse is a fictional group for one of my fics)
BACKUP 1. Red Velvet's Wendy
2. Lovelyz' Kei
3. Gfriend's Yerin
 
PERSONALITY (+) goal-driven, friendly, caring, loyal (-) sensitive, needy, cowardly, easily discouraged (0) bashful, reserved, affectionate, honest / ISFP (The Adventurer) / Hufflepuff-Gryffindor / Chaotic Good / think : GBB's Cheris, Loona's Vivi, Aragaki Yui

Like Jihyun, Erika is very reserved, so she doesn't openly show her love for others. However, she's friendly and willing to get to know people better, even if she doesn't necessarily want people to know her. Erika is also fiercely loyal to Jihyun and will do anything for her. Because she is older, Erika is also very caring towards Jihyun and will try her best to make sure Jihyun is always happy. She also gets upset when Jihyun is not feeling good because she's sensitive. As Erika is easily discouraged, she needs a lot of encouragement from Jihyun. Another time when she'll need Jihyun's encouragement is when she feels insecure about herself. She tends to be needy and will need Jihyun to assure her that what she believes or what haters say is not true. Erika likes to hug Jihyun when she feels sad because she is affectionate and shows it readily. However, she is bashful and gets embarassed when complimented by Jihyun. She does love complimenting Jihyun too though, and you can be sure she means it because she's honest, but Jihyun has to be careful to not irritate Erika because when she is angry, her scoldings are harsh too. It's a good thing they don't quarrel much because Erika is cowardly and does not like to resolve conflicts for fear of making things worse between her and Jihyun. However, Jihyun is sure Erika is the one she wants to walk through life with, because Erika is highly goal-driven and Jihyun believes Erika is the one who will make her dreams come true.
 
THE STORY Amuse was promoting their summer single Dance The Night Away on music shows at the same time that Lumiere was promoting Red Flavor, and Jihyun bumped into Erika backstage. Jihyun apologised and Erika accepted. Jihyun thought Erika was pretty and cute and decided to go to Amuse's backstage room to say goodbye. Amuse and Lumiere continued to have comebacks at the same time which provided more opportunities for Jihyun and Erika to meet, and they started hanging out in each others' backstage rooms during shows, and eventually exchanged numbers (no, it was not through a sandwich).

(You can discuss with me regarding Amuse's comebacks if Jihyun is chosen, for their discography twins I'm using mainly gugudan with some other 8 or 9 member groups' songs)
THE ENDING Jihyun confessed to Erika backstage at a show during Valentine's Day 2019 (which is also Erika's birthday) and Erika accepted.
 
THE LITTLE THINGS Jihyun's favourite album which she released with Lumiere is A Luminous Summer because it's the album she was promoting when she met Erika.
Erika has one son, Sato Hoshi. He was born on July 5 2015 and Jihyun really wants to meet him. (Erika's family lives in Korea and she leaves her son with them when she is promoting)
She loves pugs and Jihyun often gives her such themed gifts. Jihyun also joked that she is saving up to buy Erika a pet pug.
She likes to recieve handwritten letters and take polaroid pictures and has an instax mini 8 in pink. Jihyun sometimes sends her handwritten letters in the mail as a surprise.
Erika's fans are called Sweethearts (because she is born on Valentine's Day) and her fans chose the colour baby pink (#fbeff5) to represent her. (Jihyun is a fan of Amuse and a Sweetheart)
Jihyun's favourite songs from Amuse are Diary, 1 to 10 and For You.

(I wanted to apply with Erika at first but the timeline doesn't suit her background)
COMMENTS I know this doesn't look very summerish but I thought for bright colours for summer and neon because luminous, and I wanted to have a black background so the album has a "glow in the dark" feel.
Some colours were taken from the Palette Pop Is Everything by jen_savage on Colourlovers.
You can age Jihyun down to a 99 or 00 liner if she is chosen if most of the chosen members are 97 or 98 liners, I just put 98 because I didn't want her with Irene to be too big
 
SCENE REQUESTS Hello baby with Erika's son
Members bonding
Interactions with other SM artistes
Wins on music shows
Behind the scenes of MV making / production

hi there, akira! apply is now fully closed, so i will just be writing your review down on this blog post!
but yeah! our first extension app! woo! let's waste no time and get right on with the review! firstly,
when i read jihyun's full name, i was like... hmm... sounds familiar... and i was correct because she is
our queen irene's sister! kind of like jessica and krystal! i can definitely see the fans raving about that!
starting with the basics, there were no errors there, fairly simple and straightforward. moving on to
the personality and background, i have no problems there as well since the explanations were elaborate!
same goes for her idol life and relations! and interesting! we got a female love interest this time! #lovewins
i love how you utilized a girl group of your own; i thought that was very neat! overall, there were no major
errors with your application or jihyun! thanks a bunch for applying, akira!
