Most of the people find Jisoo very pleasing to eyes and fun to be with, she'd often smile and laugh at lot and she's very approachable. No one will be intimidated by her, Jisoo's an agreeable person perceived as warm, sociable and ‘likeable amongst her friends’. She's friendly towards other people, tolerant of others and is patient. There will be times that she often acts as the mediator or ‘peacemaker’, attempting to appease the situation. If there's something that the SM like about her then it is that Jisoo will never break a rule! She always keep in mind what are the dos and don'ts, she'd always obey those who are in authority and being against them make her very anxious. Jisoo is someone who treats everyone with respect, there is no who would not always enjoy the company of a polite person, this make her a favorite of most of the company staff since she is sweet and amiable, who couldn't resist her? She's a polar opposite of Jian who's lazy, Jisoo's diligent. She don't just practice, she will earnestly try to practice hard, and does her everything to her best.

Living in her twin's shadow for so long, Jisoo always  been envious, jealous of what isn't hers, particularly towards her twin sister, Jian. Her jealousness will manifests in bitter and passive-aggressive comments. In her mind, she has been always deprived of something so she also wished for it too. Jisoo is two-faced, if there is something that she dislikes or disagree to, she won't tell it, instead she will be not honest or sincere. She has the tendency to say different things to different people in order to get their approval, she had been always wanted to gain people's affection so she could not risk offending them. Seo Jisoo overthinks a lot, when she see someone just furrowed their eyebrows or click their tongues, that's it, she will start to overthink, in no time there will be already a list of worst case possible scenarios inside her brain. Since young, Jisoo and Jian had been always inseperable, they had been always together, going to the same place or doing the same thing, this is also a reason why Jisoo always feel anxious and sick if she is separated from Jian. It's a lot of better now since they are already grown up but Jisoo can still not stop herself from being dependent on Jian, when there's something she cannot do or having some worries, Jian is the first person that she can think of. She always had been relying on Jian ever since and being compared to her always, she developed into someone who is weak-willed, she often get discouraged by just a small comment that seems bad and when faced with a bigger person, she will get afraid easily. When it comes to fight, she's petty, she always had this narrow-thinking of hers, when someone did something bad to her, she won't think twice to  get back at that person. Lastly, due to her insecurities, and being compared a lot to Jian, she waas very sensitive to criticisms and comments of other people, she was weak-willed to the point that she get scared of people in the authority or just from the pressure from the above.

background

"Dear Diary, today we enrolled in dance lessons with Jianie for our summer camp, we've been dancing since young, but I like singing more but our parents said that we could only take one, so they put me with Jianie. It's okay though~ I want to stick with Jian because I don't know what to do if I'm alone." ㅡ June 2010, Jisoo.

"Dear Diary, in our dance class, I gained a lot of friends, they kept saying that Jian and I danced so good, even the teachers told us so. Hehe, that's because we are twins, we are naturally good and Jianie had been teaching me at home of our dance. But today, the teacher suggested to Jian to take more advance class, I also want to but he said that I am not still good enough to take the next class. What did he mean, we are twins, if she's going to next class, then I am too. In the end, Jian didn't go and stayed with me, I'm glad, because I'm going to feel sick if she was away." ㅡ July 2010, Jisoo.

"Dear Diary, today is the end of our summer camp and we're going to go back to school next week. I was so nervous earlier because it's our recital and the teacher didn't allowed us to perform together. While performing I only stared at Jianie who was cheering for me and I did well! Jianie also did well, the teachers and even my friends kept complimenting her that she was amazing. Of course, my twin sister Jian is amazing, but they only kept praising her though, I also did well but why I didn't receive the same attention like my twin?" ㅡ August 2010, Jisoo.

“Dear Diary, Jianie and I had almost a fight over a dress, mother bought that dress for her and she wore that in our family gathering, she looks so great, uncle, aunt, grandpa and grandma complimented her, that’s why I also wanted it too, because I will also look great just like her and everyone in the family will also praise me. Jian and I look the same so it’s no doubt that dress will also look good in me. In the end, she gave that dress to me, as a thanks, I hid that one tub strawberry ice cream from mother and secretly gave it to her since it was her favorite, it was so funny when mother kept looking for it, father just told her that maybe she forgot to buy." ㅡ February 2011, Jisoo.

“Dear Diary, I had a fight with Jian today, it’s because of our school report card, and it was given today. She had higher grades than me and I cannot believe it, we are in the same class and we listen to the same teacher all day long, we studied together, we did homework together and even in doing our school projects, of course we cannot have the same answers in our tests, but my scores should be almost the same with her.. We are twins, we studied together, how can she be smarter than me?” ㅡ May 2011, Jisoo.

“Dear Diary, I am so sad, my friends told me why Jian and I aren’t the same. I didn’t understand it first because we are twins, how we cannot be alike? And then they told me that we look the same but Jian was more attractive and appealing, she was also smarter and extremely good at dancing. How can it be? I only laughed at my friends but the thing was I’m hurt by their words. I don’t want to write anymore today. I admit, I am jealous of her, everyone only knew me as the twin of Jian, they never knew me as Jisoo, what is so hard for people to see me? WHY THEY ONLY SEE JIAN?” ㅡ October 2011, Jisoo.

“Dear Diary, next school year we are going to be in middle school. Jian become the top of our class and she was chosen to be one of the students to join an exchange program in Beijing, everyone congratulated her, they were happy, but me? I am not happy. When we got home, mother and father were so proud of her, they said that they were so glad that they have a daughter like her, they only fussed with Jian while I was left behind, they only care about Jian. Why? We are twins, why they can’t congratulate me just like Jian? WHAT IS SO GOOD ABOUT HER? WHY DOES EVERYONE ONLY SEE JIAN? JIAN JIAN JIAN! WHY EVERYTHING IS ABOUT JIAN? IT IS SO ANNOYING, I AM TIRED OF BEING CONSTANTLY COMPARED TO HER.” ㅡ June 2012, Jisoo.

“That Jian, she left me alone, she knew that I’ll feel lonely and sick if we aren’t together but she still left me and go to Beijing, I also want to follow her but my parents scolded me that my scores are not good enough to be an exchange student, that I should study harder and become like Jian if I want to follow her to Beijing, all they say is Jian, IT IS ALL ABOUT HER, WHY THEY CAN’T SEE THAT I AM ALSO WORKING HARD LIKE HER, EVERYTHING THAT I’VE DONE WERE OVERSHADOWED BY JIAN, THEY DON’T KNOW IT AT ALL.”  ㅡ August 2012, Jisoo.

“I’m tired, I’m tired being only the twin of the perfect Seo Jian, I’m tired that I am always compared to her and was seen the inferior one. Everyone admires her, they say that she is so pretty, that she’s so clever to understand those hard lessons, excellent in dancing, good at cooking, she’s good at everything. Me? Everyone asked me a lot but they’re saying the same thing, ‘Why aren’t you good as your twin?’ I am not that beautiful, I am not smart enough, I can’t dance great like her, she was so great that everything that I’ve done was not seen admirable because I AM NOT JIAN. I’ve tried so hard to be like her but I cannot even catch up, I can only lived in her shadow while she only get the compliments and praises that I will not be able to get. I’m tired, I’m really tired of being the inferior one, I’m tired of trying to shine and I hate her, I hate her for being superior, I hate being her twin. I HATE YOU SEO JIAN.” ㅡ October 2012, Jisoo.

“Dear Diary, Jian came home for Christmas, I tried to snob her because she left me here but she don’t even talk to us, she was acting really weird, she was so quiet, she would only nod and say a few words and that’s it. Mother told me that she isn’t sick so what’s wrong with her? I even gave up my strawberry cake for her but she told me to that just to eat it. There is something wrong, Jian never rejected her favorite food. Until the day of her departure, she look so lifeless, mother and father was so worried for her.” ㅡ December 2012, Jisoo.

“Dear Diary, mother and father was extremely mad at Jian, she gave up the exchange program and came home. But the shocking thing is that Jian argued with them, I have never seen our parents got so angry like this and Jian never talked back rudely to our parents before, it was like a new person, it was so scary to see them fight so I just stayed upstairs but I could still hear their shouts. I wonder what happen to Jian, she was never like that. "ㅡ February 2013, Jisoo.

“Dear Diary, Jian had changed, we found out that she was secretly attending a dance academy after school and my parents were called to the school because her grades dropped. One time, I asked her to study with me but she said that she doesn’t want to study, I even take peek at her books and I was shocked to see that she never did her homeworks. While I study, she only kept dancing in her room. Even my parents can’t do something about it, they just told me not to be like Jian. Even my friends asked me if she was even my twin. What happened to her, is she still the perfect sister Seo Jian?” ㅡ April 2013, Jisoo.

“Dear Diary, I wasn’t able to write in these past few days because I feel so down, I didn’t passed the JYP open audition, I was crying for days and mother tried to comfort me, while father scolded me that I should go continue study. But now, I am so happy! Jian came home and told me that a representative from SM saw my audition at JYP and wanted to cast me, I attended the screening today and I passed! They made me sing and asked me a lot of questions, they said that there is no need to dance because they already seen my dancing, how so? But I don’t care anymore; I’m going to be a SM trainee! Mother and Jian were also happy but father was upset, I didn’t know what Jian told him because he allowed me in the end.” ㅡ June 2013, Jisoo.
 

TRAINING

“Dear Diary, training in SM is so scary, everyone was working hard, they were so good at dancing, singing and rapping, everything! Some of them are so handsome and beautiful, I felt so inferior, it was like I’m in a room full of Seo Jian, but more intense, the worst is that they are not Jian that I could even rely to. I felt so pressured, there were even times that I feel so sick that I can’t even attend my training. Because of that I got scolded a lot and there’s one time I broke down while practicing, I felt so lonely and terrified in that room, and I’m lucky that there were kind trainees who comforted me until I stopped crying. After that incident, they started to look after me, making sure that I ate enough because they said that I was so skinny, I didn’t even notice that I lost a lot of weight because I was so pre-occupied with my thoughts. I started to gain a lot of friends, and one of them is Youngmi unnie, she was so friendly and funny, she introduced me to other trainees. She became even more playful and a bit weird when she was with Jaehyun oppa and Youngho oppa. They were so close to each other that I even thought that there were something between Youngmi unnie and Jaehyun oppa, it was hilarious when unnie denied it with a funny expression. I have now a few friends, but I still get lonely because I have no one to talk my huge worries to, if it was before, Jian would be always in my side and comfort me so I would not feel sick, but now she isn't here, I wish she was there with me.” ㅡ September 2013, Jisoo.

“Dear Diary, last week I did my best because it’s our evaluation and I am glad to say that they were satisfied with my improvement and said that my singing and dancing improved a lot. But that’s not the only thing, I was chosen to be put in a special training program, I was so happy that time because I kept thinking that being in a program like this, does it mean that I am sure to debut? But now, our training times were much longer, it was stricter and harsher than before. It’s a bit better because Youngmi unnie was also part of the program but I started to feel terrified again, I felt very pressured whenever I slept at night, I kept thinking what if I can’t catch up again? Those thoughts made me sick but I hardened myself up. But the loneliness slowly eat me up inside, so I called Jian today, I cried to her and told her everything, my fears, my worries, we cried together, I don’t know why she cried too but she said that she felt guilty and become so worried about me. I cannot take it anymore and I begged her to join me in SM because I felt so lonely without her, she said that she’ll try. I hope she could make it, everyone before kept saying that she is great, maybe she can pass the audition too..” ㅡ December 2013, Jisoo.

“Dear Diary, I think it was almost one week since Jian become an SM trainee too, I think she did great because she was able to join the special training immediately without the regular training. But the thing is.. Jian is so lazy, I got scolded a lot but Jian had received more scolding than me in just one week, she don’t even fear them, she’ll practice whenever she wanted to. I was so afraid for her so I also told her to practice more but she only smiled at me and told me not to worry. That’s not what I meant to so I told her that I was scared that she will be kicked out of the program and I’ll be alone again. After that, she tried to be not lazy anymore..  and attended all the trainings. The trainers always told her that ‘Why can’t you be more like your twin Jisoo? She’s so diligent’, but she only ignored it. Whenever they criticize her, she doesn’t care. Even though she was lazy, we can all see how talented she is, she is so confident. While me, I always worked hard but I can’t perform similar to hers, I started to feel a little envious again. I just hope that I won't regret that I asked Jian to join me.” ㅡ April 2014, Jisoo.

relationships 



seo jian // 20 // twin sister // very close - 8

Love-hate relationship, Jisoo felt very conflicted. She loves her twin sister but she hate it so much whenever the limelight is on her, the attention and everything, the things that she rarely received. She doesn't have the courage to tell Jian because she's afraid of losing her, she also felt very guilty because she can not stop herself from being envious. Jisoo is displeased with herself for that but it gets buried once the feeling of jealousy had taken over her, after that, she'll feel guilty again. She loves her twin, really, she's ready to throw hands if someone ever make her cry and she'd fear that the pent-up feelings deeply hidden inside her will take over her someday. Jisoo's biggest obstacle is her inner conflict and she will have to face it someday.

yoo youngmi // 21 // close friend // close - 7


Her Youngmi unnie is one of her first friend in SM, to Jisoo, she was also like Jian but more friendlier and funny. So Jisoo really likes to be around her because she was easy to talk to and Jisoo found her expressions funny. When there is fun, Jisoo will be apprehensive to join because she was afraid of offending the staffs or their managers, but Youngmi will be there to encourage her to join in the mess and have fun, which we will be agreed on by a reluctant Jisoo. 

kim jungwoo // 20 // close friend // close - 7

Jungwoo was born in the same year as Jisoo, meaning they were same-aged friends. Since he was the only 98 liner among the boys, Jisoo was already friendly with him in the first place. Jungwoo was very easy to get along with despite being quiet at first. As soon they got to know each other, Jisoo was surprised to discovered that Jungwoo has a 4D personality, he's also funny in another way. Jisoo always when SM put the Innocent & Quiet persona on him since it was really far from his real personality. They always had friendly bickers and inside jokes that they only knew. Jungwoo might develop a small crush on her which Jisoo was not aware of. (and I'm too lazy to write about love story)

[iris plotline] // ??? // friend // friendly - 6.5


In their trainee days, Jisoo and her were close as friends, they really get along with each other but when SM put the center position on her, Jisoo was envious. Jisoo was also vying for the center position, she was working hard to prove to SM that she can be the perfect princess-like to be the center of the group. [Iris Plotline] will be Jisoo's subject of her jealousy.  

FINALE
