appearance Areum stands at 172cm tall and with her model proportions, people often compliment her for her height and body structure. She's got big doll-like eyes, a show stopper smile and her charms are terribly deadly if you're not careful. She could steal your heart in a wink.
style Areum is a living style icon - people always want to know what she wears and what brand she goes for. She doesn't blindly follow what's the latest trend but instead goes for what suits her best. She mainly goes for solid pieces or minimal patterns. Areum wears crop-tops, sweaters or anything from her closet that she finds fitting. She rarely wears skirts, opting for short or long pants in general. Accessories are always something she isn't short of - from bracelets, earrings, necklaces and chokers, she's got a set for any occasion. Most of the time she goes for flats as she doesn't want to add more height but for certain occasions, you can see her rocking stilettos. In short, Areum always shows up a little over-dressed than necessary.

personality l
POS (+): Hard-working, Confident, Loyal, Attentive
NEG (-): Manipulative, Obsessive, Judgemental
Alignment: probably Chaotic Neutral
➤ Areum doesn't come off to a lot people as a hard worker. First impression people get is someone who bought her way to the top with daddy's money and mommy's connections. But Areum actually works hard to make sure her grades stay above average and didn't turn to her parents to secure her spot in Hansung. She doesn't miss deadlines for projects or assignments, always triple checks with her lecturers' before handing in and in class, her notes are the one you want to steal. Her hardworking attitude is one admired by her class.
➤ "Confidence is the key in any outfit," - a tip from Areum. Many people wonder how she can pull of any kind of outfit and Areum often says that it's a person's confidence that can outshine any outfit. Areum carries great confidence in her skills as a designer, her looks, her style and her work. She holds herself up with pride and this doesn't easily waver even after the dozens of snide comments directed towards her.
➤ Loyalty is a trait that is especially rare for Areum to show. However, once you gain Areum's trust and loyalty - she will be a true friend to you. She will stick by your side and never betray you. Once you win her loyalty, Areum will stick to you like glue.
➤ Areum is also attentive. This is usually seen whenever she's doing projects and even past members of her groups have said that she's always quadrupling check their work to make sure there's no error and to ensure everything is in order. Her well-known intricate designs are also thanks to her attentiveness for detail. It's the little things that make the most impact after all.
➤ Having a thing for winning people over with her words, Areum can be quite the manipulative person if you're not careful. Such as bending things into her favour or shifting the blame around, her words are her greatest weapon.
➤ Although she is hardworking, it can drastically change into her obsessive nature. She's obsessed with getting her work done or starting up new projects that she sometimes forgets that the outside world even exists. Unless someone steps up to say something, this obsessive nature of hers can be proven dangerous during group projects. An example is when she's continuously checking up on her members to make sure they're doing what she thinks they should be doing without proper rest.
➤ Areum doesn't like to discuss what's going on her mind when she's meeting someone for the first time. Her mind goes into a terrible judgemental mode from watching her mother appraise outfits and people during gatherings. She keeps these thoughts to herself but they cloud her mind at times when she's evaluating someone's design. Every little detail or habit or flaw someone displays is mocked and ridiculed in her mind, a reason why she sometimes looks 'done' with a person.

background Born an only child, Areum was certainly spoiled by her rich parents. Her mother, being a fashion designer and her father running a textile company - there was nothing money couldn't buy for them.
Areum grew up learning about beauty standards, money, business and fashion at a young age. Her mother makes sure to dress her up every time they went out, showing her daughter off to her friends - but really, all she was showing off was the new dress she got from Gucci. With her father, Areum learns how words and promises seals deals and how a little money under the table makes people turn a blind eye on things.

With her father, Areum learns how words and promises seals deals and how a little money under the table makes people turn a blind eye on things.
Due to her wealthy known family, Areum is used to putting up a front in front of others. Smile for the camera, do a little twirl for the press, speak like a doll - that's what she was born and trained to do, after all. She's only a figure for her parents to flaunt off and for others to get their quick 15-minutes of fame. She's fully aware of why everyone is so eager to be close to her, she's got connections and money - anyone wants to be her 'new best friend'.
Preschool , middle school , high school too. Areum doesn't even remember most of what she had done in school besides the times she took part in the sewing club and showed off all her beautiful designs. Those were the only times she could finally breathe and dissolve that 'Princess' image of hers. She hangs out with people, goes to parties, pays for their food but once she's home - she's just thinking of how utterly pathetic all her 'friends' really are.
She enrolled into Hansung University just so she could get away from most of her 'friends', she was bored of having to put up with the same group of people she's known since she was in middle school. Plus, maybe she could finally find better people to be 'fake' around with. As much as she hates to admit it, it was... fun to pretend to like these annoying flies that were around her.
But university life was different than she imagined. It wasn't filled with midgets trying their best to get her phone number or get invited to the next party. People weren't flocking around her or trying to be her friend just for the money anymore. People were actually interested in working with her, asking for opinions on designs and even inviting her to lunch. University is weird, Areum admits but maybe, it's a good weird.
lifestyle
Currently, Areum is in her last year and takes the fashion design course. Her life revolves around piles of sketches, rejected designs and mountains of paper. She's content with her chosen course but sometimes, she just really wants to burn all her designs to the ground.
➤ she lives in an apartment nearby so yes, she can drive. didn't want to live in the dorms because quote, "where am I going to put all my fabrics and bulletin boards?"
➤ her classes are usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 2/3pm.
➤ she spends a lot of time in her apartment where she watches fashion shows on her wide tv. Sometimes, she goes to observe the streets for inspirations. When she has the time, her usual areas are Myeongdong, Dongdaemun and Hongdae.
➤ she cleans out her closet once every 2 months. uses the Marie Kondo method when going through her mountain of stuff.
➤ her name is well-known around the university and outside too due to her posting her designs on her instagram @arreum.designed
➤ only her closest friends have been to her apartment and know where her apartment is. the rule is that you have to call her before and you have to come alone.

➤ Yoo Chan | 21 | one of the rare people that Areum likes upon first meeting.

➤ Kang Eujin | 29 | one of her mother's assistants, Eujin is similar to an older sister to Areum. She often texts Areum about how scary her mother and the discuss about designs as well. Eujin checks up on Areum more often than her parents does.
➤ Park Chayoung | 22 | one of the members of the girl group that her mother worked with, Areum surprisingly bonded quickly with the singer. They met during meetings for Chayoung's group upcoming album at the time and during discussion on the concepts and outfits, the girls spent a lot of time with each other. They don't meet up very often due to Chayoung's schedule but they text each other daily. Chayoung has more than once worn Areum's personal designs.
