appearance The maknae stands at 169 cm and she weighs just 48kg - she claims that's because she's young, her metabolism still works fast. One look at her face and people are usually charmed by how cute her features are.

For practice sessions, she usually wears one of her many black tracksuits and pairs is along with any short-sleeved shirt. She wears her usual trainers and off she goes to practice.

When she's out, Jiseul's style can be said to be just casual. Short, skinny jeans, sweaters and t-shirts are the main items fans see her wear on a regular basis. Although once in a while Jiseul likes to try something new - such as the time she wore a floral dress and the time she decided to wear overalls - she doesn't do it often as she prioritizes her comfort more. She likes to wear colours, nothing too bright but tones of blue and red are her main likes.

For accessories, she wears tinted sunglasses and her must have is her ring necklace - a gift from a very close friend of hers.   

PERSONALITY 

(+) caring, hardworking, respectful, energetic

(-) over-competitive, impulsive, timid

Jiseul is known to be a caring person. She doesn't show it much but from her actions, you know that she cares about those around her. Being the youngest, she gets taken care of a lot by the older members but she helps them out in ways that she can. She's also considered to be very hardworking as she works hard to juggle her studies as well as her idol life to make sure she gets the best of both worlds. Maybe it's because of her being surrounded by plenty of people older than her but Jiseul is also very respectful towards those around her - whether they're younger or older. She's careful with her words and makes sure she doesn't do/say anything that would offend others. Perhaps it's because of her young age that Jiseul is dub to be very energetic there's not a dull moment when she's around. She can't stand to stay still for a long time, she'll find a way to burn off the energy that she has.

In an industry where people are constantly trying to get to the top, it's no wonder Jiseul has a very over-competitive spirit. Whether it's dance, rap or even stage presence, Jiseul has a knack to think everything is somewhat a competition to her. She also tends to act impulsively at times - not thinking through and just going with what she feels at the moment. To her, time stops for no one so she doesn't really take the time to carefully plan out anything and acts on her own will. It's one of the things the older members scold her about repeatedly and she's working to get it right. Being at a sensitive age, Jiseul often thinks of herself to be quite timid. She stays quiet most of the time during discussions and doesn't really speak much about her feelings which have led to a few frustrating arguments with other people. 

Background Jiseul was born as the oldest sibling of her family and therefore she endured a lot for being the eldest. Her parents had high expectations of her to become someone with a professional career - someone that they could be proud of, like a doctor or a lawyer. They wanted her to set a good example for her younger sibling and pushed her towards that goal. 

It was when she was around 9 years old did she realise that she had an interest in becoming an idol. As Jeonju was a famous landmark and held festivals, she often caught glimpses of actors, actresses and idols alike passing by her hometown. She would often wonder what it was like to be them - someone well known to the public and loved by everyone. And as if fate heard her heart's small wishes, her parents had them moved to Seoul when she was 10 years old so she could enrol into a better school. 

Behind her parent's back, she would train her singing and dancing skills with her best friend. They helped each other to get better and better with each practice session they did after school and even the school was aware of their little secret. Many people thought that the two of them were bound to debut together someday, seeing how they made such a perfect duet. 

At the age of 11, the pair performed at a competition and came in second place. It was also the day where Jiseul was scouted and contacted by a SM representative - claiming that they wanted her to audition for them. At first, she was hesitant but after her best friend constantly pushing her to head on to the audition - saying that this would be a wasted opportunity if Jiseul hadn't at least tried - Jiseul decides to audition to SM. 

She gets accepted and that's when she realises, her dreams are one step from coming true.

She wanted to become an idol but couldn't seem to land a successful audition anywhere. Still talks to Jiseul but claims they aren't as close anymore.

CLOSE FRIEND || Zhong Chenle || NCT Dream member || 18 years old || Due to them being close in age, Chenle and Jiseul are good friends. They hangout often, along with Jisung and their friendship is known for being somewhat similar to Tom and Jerry.

Constantly comes to her for advice but it's usually about teenage stuff. 

GROUPMATE Eo Haneul || Idol || 19 years old || One of the louder people of the group, Jiseul doesn't talk much to her because their personality are on different scales. However, the two of them are on good terms as Haneul is the social butterfly of the group.

LIVING MEME

NAME Park Jisung || Jisung
BIRTH DATE 05 February 2002 
OCCUPATION Idol || Dancer, vocalist, rapper, maknae

STATUS mutual feelings, dating in secret.

icon
 

personality Jisung is possibly the epitome of a dork. He's shy and quiet at first but once he opens up to you, there's no going back. A humble and down to earth person who cares for the people around him. Although he's a bit naive at times, he tries his best to be the best version of himself that he can be.

love story Their first meeting wasn't anything special. They trained under the same company so they had a couple of mutual friends which would ultimately lead them to meeting each other. They hit off well for their first meeting, everyone thought it was because they were the same age. Both Jisung and Jiseul were accepted into SM around the same time so it was normal for them to become close to each other. 

Jisung was always pretty awkward with girls but he was surprisingly cool with Jiseul. Both of them would hangout outside of the company, going out for movies and the mall. It would just be them hanging out with one another - not really developing any feelings for one another until much later into their friendship.

Both of them debuted at an early age so most of their talks would be how they understood how the expectations for them were high. They confided into one another about the doubts and worries they had that they didn't want to tell the other members. They became their pillars to lean on whenever times got rough. 

Jisung took the first move in confessing his feelings for her after they performed for a special stage. He knew it was a risk, a gamble and possible something he would regret doing so - SM was strict on dating, especially within their own company. It's when Jiseul starts crying that she feels the same way is when he's certain he'll do everything he can to ensure that both of them will be safe. 

 

TRIVIA 

- Jiseul went crazy when she found out Jisung joined dancing high 

- "Why didn't you tell me! I wanted to go on there."

- "Jiji, do you really think I'll be able to dance with you there? I'll probably end up just staring at you."

- they like to practice each other's group dances

- Jiseul saves him as ''Mochisung <3' on her phone while Jisung saves her as 'Jiji' with possibly a thousand hearts

- his phone's wallpaper is her hand doing a heart gesture but fans don't know it's Jiseul 

- "She just... She just talked about me like that, Jisung... Am I that bad of a friend?" 

- pops in the recording booth to watch when the other's recording

- sneaking quick kisses on the cheek when no one's looking 

- nct dream knows somethings up with them but just decides to keep their mouth shut

- Jiseul likes to just cuddle with him on the sofa when she gets tired

- these two kids are sneaky as heck

- when they're standing next to each other and they're sure the line is clear, Jisung will hold her hand and just brush his thumb on hers 

- "Good day?" "Now that you're here, it is a good day."

- Jiseul likes to pinch his cheeks a lot or just poke them

- they're like an old couple who just wants to sit down, hold each other and do nothing

- both of them have only one couple item and its a matching necklace that they bought. they wear it often but make sure it's always hidden

- one screen, they bicker a lot but off screen, they're pretty chill

- if they go out on dates, they bring along other members to throw cameras off

- they do asmr together and it's always hilarious. Jiseul keeps them in her phone and watches them whenever she misses him.

- they like to spam each other with nonsense like,,, 246 messages and it's all just single heart emojis

HEADLINES 

Statice's Power Maknae blows fancam views 

A fancam of Jiseul's performance goes viral for visual reasons. People start dubbing her as one of the powerful maknaes around. 

Statice's Jiseul  To Go On Hiatus Following Recent Injury

After a stage practice gone wrong, Jiseul's forced to go to hiatus to recover. People send her off with get well soon wishes as she promises to be active on social media to post updates on her recovery. 

HER STORY -cracks knuckles, okay lets do this - 

After Jiseul signed the contract to train unde SM Entertainment, her friendship with Haewon started turning rocky. She knew why, of course, she wasn't an idiot. Haewon was the one who dreamed of becoming and idol and singing on stage and Jiseul was just a friend who followed along. Haewon was the one who pushed Jiseul to be part of her duet and had them enter the competition together yet it was Jiseul who was noticed, it was Jiseul who got the contract, it was Jiseul who they wanted. 

Jiseul tried her best to continue being friends with Haewon. She continued to hang out with her when she had the time and treated Haewon the same. She still wanted Haewon to try and not give up despite how many rejections she had gone through. She didn't want Haewon to give up, she wanted her to be on stage with her as well as a singer. 

One day, Haewon stops picking up her calls and doesn't reply to her text messages anymore. She uses someone's instagram account to see what Haewon's been up to and sees that Haewon's been talking about her online. Haewon doesn't mention her name but Jiseul knows it's her she's talking about. 

She talks about how this friend of hers stole her dream, how she robbed Haewon of her chances to become an idol and how she must have loved seeing Haewon fail over and over again. Some of her other schoolmates follow in the talking and it breaks Jiseul down a lot.  This was her best friend and now Jiseul had no one else to blame but herself over how their friendship had gone down the drain and dragged in the mud.

The reality of her friends talking bad behind her back really messed up her schedule and Jiseul ends up not sleeping for the next few weeks, occasionally napping for 15 minutes before she's back to dancing, making new choreography or just doing anything to get her mind off of things. She stops talking to nearly everyone and even ignored her parents worried calls. 

She was the worse person alive.

She stole her friend's dream and now that very friend was suffering because of her. 

As she works day and night, it takes a toll on her body. Her mind goes hazy and dizzy and while she's doing a move she's done probably a thousand times, she lands her footing in the wrong way and ends up tearing her ligament. It's painful and when she's rushed to the hospital and gets the news that she'll need to go on hiatus - she finds herself giving out a sigh of relief. SM has her sent back to her parents and announces she'll be off of work for 6 weeks to make sure her ligament heals properly before their next stage. 

For the first time in a long while, Jiseul spends her time -slowly- with her parents and her little sister. She goes out of sister dates with Jieun, goes to the arcade, watches a few movies and she feels so at ease. Her parents bring her out to the beach and they spend many hours of quality family time. She doesn't need to worry if she's put on proper makeup, proper clothes or worry about the paparazzi - it was as if she was living as a normal teenager. It was the breather she needed. 

As more days pass by, Jiseul starts thinking if she should quit this idol life. Maybe it wasn't meant for her. Maybe if she dropped out, someone would finally realise Haewon's talent and take her in as a trainee. Maybe Jiseul didn't deserve to be an idol. These were her thoughts as the day she'll be forced back to work comes closer and closer. 

It's when she opens up her social media for the first time does she see alll the support she's been getting from the Dreamies, Statice members and her friends does she up the courage and decide to push through. Being an idol was never easy but since when was Jiseul the type to give up ever so easily? 

She confronts Haewon about it and tells her,

"I'm sorry that you think I took away your spot but I'm here because of my own hard work as well. Things are never easy, they never fall into you lap just because you whine and wish they do. But you don't have the right to say that I took away your spot. Your spot is still here, it will forever be here and I never took it. I made my spot and I worked hard to get my name out there and debut - just any other person with a dream would do. I wish you the best of luck in finding your dream and I'm sorry for being such a bad friend. You deserve better than me and I hope that one day, you'll find the dream you were meant for."

Jiseul loses a friend and she feels down about it for the longest time. 

She lost a friend but her dream is still alive. 

Jiseul's not going to let go of Statice that easily and now, she's more determined than ever to show that she's meant to be here and that she wants to here on her own accord. 

She's right where she needs to be.

 

ending ment!
