"ANNIKA IS A REALLY WELL MANNERED GIRL. YOU COULD SAY THAT HER PARENTS RAISED HER WELL. SHE GETS ALONG WITH EVERYONE, SMILING POLITELY AND ASKING THE STAFFS OF THEIR DAY. EVEN I WAS AWED BY HER AMIABLE NATURE EVEN THOUGH SHE DOES SEEM VERY SECLUDED. I WASN'T EXPECTING A model TRAINEE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE LINE UP BUT SHE REALLY has that ambition to SHOW HER WORTH TO US ALL. AT FIRST GLANCE, SHE SEEMS REALLY FILLIAL AND INTROVERTED BUT SHE IS A PERSON WHO ACTUALLY DARES TO VOCALIZE HER THOUGHTS WELL AND I CAN SEE A RAGING FIRE IN THAT GIRL THAT WANTS TO SUCCEED IN ANYTHING THAT SHE WORKS ON."

- HER MANAGER

"she might seem naive upon first glance but don't let those cute cheeks fool you. annika reminds me of louisa may alcott's famous words, "i don't pretend to be wise but i am observing, and i see a great deal more than you'd imagine." like really, she somehow knows it if you need a hug or two. she would do aegyo or bake something just to cheer you up. if she is a type of dere, you'll place her in dere dere, she won't ever give up on you and just her smiles are seriously contagious. when she was first training, i'd remember that she would literally overwork herself sometimes because she doesn't want to fail the monthly evalution the next day, she would stay an all nighter or two just to right the choreo right. her determination awes me which to a point that it also encourages me to practice more but to also make sure she doesn't hurt herself."

- HER unnie in cygnus ent. 

"AS MOST OF THE TRAINEES ARE WAY MORE TALENTED THAN SHE IS, SHE TENDS TO BECOME MORE INSECURE AND JUST BOTTLES UP HER FRUSTRATIONS IN HERSELF. THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS QUITE DANGEROUS AS SHE MIGHT JUST EXPLODE ONE DAY WITHOUT KNOWING OF IT. AND WHAT DOES SHE DO NEXT? SHE SIMPLY SMILES AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED AND MOVED ON. IT'S IRONIC HOW SHE CAN VOICE OUT HER OPINIONS WELL BUT NOT HER PROBLEMS TO OTHER PEOPLE, I GUESS THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT ANYONE TO CARRY THE BURDEN OF THE PROBLEMS THAT SHE CARRIES ON HER OWN. HER DANCING ALSO NEED MORE WORK TO IT BUT IT'S BETTER THAN HER SINGING AND IT'S OBVIOUS THAT SHE ENJOYS THAT MORE.

- lee soojin, HER DANCING TRAINER

"i hope she learns to let her heArt out more rather than just listen or be the giver. there are times when she would pour and pour but no one would bask in the love and support that she was pouring out. upon doing that, she would forget to take care of herself that will eventually pull her down. i would be talking to annika on the phone and she would always say that she's okay even though her tone would falter and i can hear that she's tired. of course, she wouldn't tell me for she didn't want to trouble me with her problems even though i don't mind them."

- heo kyungjae, her older brother

WHO ARE YOU, ANNIKA?
HOVER THE GIFS 


her older brother kyungjae is the only one other than her parents to call her kyungwon or wonnie 


yves and annika met way back during their modelling days in marishe. annika knew her as sooyoung unnie rather than her stagename now. 


back when she joined the exchange program, she was assigned under his family and he was literally excited to get a exchange sister even though it was for a few years but he took care of her well, guided her through middle school along with him and made sure she was well taken care of. 

they made sure to keep in contact with each other along with the rest of her exchange family. he also came to visit her whenever he has work in seoul and is really proud of her when she debuted, surprising her along with kyungjae on idyll's debut stage which they attended and made sure she saw them, making her feel even more pumped up to perform better as her brothers are there watching her debut. 




they weren't close at first. it was mostly annika admiring danbi from afar cause she just really love how sharp her moves and when she moves just with the right amount of emphasizement towards the steps. that was enough to actually walk to danbi and asked her to teach her how to dance like danbi. this caught the older girl by surprise because annika's eyes was literally sparkling when she asked which danbi agreed. sure, she seems firm & pushy towards her at first but that just fueled annika even more to dance well. it was mainly thanks to her that her dancing improved rapidly and made her like boy group dances more.

after helping her continuously, danbi warms up to annika for her cheerful self somehow melt her icy heart. annika's aegyo is one of the rare things that could make danbi smile which is just too rare to showcase. annika is kind of like danbi's "baby" when they debut as danbi would always take care and watch over her on shows and in the dorms because of how much danbi has helped annika as trainees.



so basically it was around her second month evaluation when she was starting to keep up with the others but annika wanted to perfect her dance piece more which led her to sprain her ankle. luckily, jinxuan was also practicing nearby her and immediately asked her if she's okay and offered her to tend her ankle. the older told her about how she reminded her of her friend in china that would tend to her injuries back in her old company which kinda broke the ice between them two.

jinxuan and annika has a lot of things in common such as baking & photograpy which led them to do them together whenever they can. even their personalities match with each other which led them to have quite a similar way of thinking as well. jinxuan would also take care of annika to make sure she doesn't trip or fall. she's like an older sister that annika grew up wanting to have.

TRAINEE LIFE 
 as she was street casted by the company rep, she clearly has no idea how a trainee goes through the training and what not. annika was lost at first, trying to keep up with the steps and not getting it right was frustrating even though she do enjoy dancing to the beats and rhythm. 

annika mostly followed and asked the other trainees that are definitely better than her to teach her on how to ace the  dance steps, breathing techniques and so on.thankfully the other trainees gladly helped her with those, often staying up at nights to guide her through. she is more than grateful to everyone that lended her a hand as she then improved greatly which impressed the coaches and also the ceo.  

she never planned to be an idol but boy do she love the thrill of performing on stage.

PREDEBUT EXPERIENCE

a model under marishe (2014-2017)

SCANDALS
up to you but she might get into a scandal of her somehow offending fans with her talking in accents maybe? similar to wendy when she talked in an american accent.
