Personal Information
Name: Shin Seoyoung
Nickname(s): Seo || Seo Seo || Youngie || Young-ah || Seoyoungie || Belle
Date of Birth: 01/04/1990 | 21 years old
Place of Birth: Jeonju, North Jeolla, South Korea
Ethnicity: Korean
Height: 170 cm
Weight: 49 kg
Personality:
On variety shows and such, Shin Seoyoung becomes the all-smiles member of SK-EYE. Every single day, Seoyoung has to act and stay optimistic. She will tend to be an enthusiastic, action-oriented individual who likes to say "Yes!" or "Let's go!" to opportunities for excitement. In groups she likes to talk and draw attention to herself. She's usually the very successful ice breaker on camera, saying silly jokes or simply making a smart and oblivious remark that will have everyone cracking up in the crew.
The Seoyoung onstage is the nation's Chic Fair, the nation's Transparent Butterfly. Now these nicknames - or personas, whatever you'd prefer to call them - weren't given out just like that, but they were earned. The reason why? Well despite the many categories and concepts of songs - cutesy, y, sorrowful, serious, etc. - Seoyoung will always make the song her own. She will adapt to it and get used to the feel of the song, and pretty soon she'll have the right facial expressions and body language. This is only one of the reasons on how she earned these well deserved nicknames. Another reason? She knows what to do at the right time without overdoing anything. Being the OCD diagnosed girl that she is, perfectness is what she always strives for. No mistakes or little slips must be found when she reviews over music shows.
But who exactly is Shin Seoyoung? Sometimes she doesn't even know herself. Becoming an idol required so many sacrifice, and one of those sacrifices was to give up privacy.
The real Shin Seoyoung is actually quite similar to her persona in some ways. She isn't easily upset and isn't very easily offended, but does hold grudges. She tends to always be calm, emotionally stable, and free from persistent negative feelings. She doesn't let past mistakes get to her. She is generally considerate, friendly, generous, helpful, and willing to compromise with others. She also has one heck of a sense of humor, even to the point that you feel an 8-pack building up.
Despite this, she is known for her blunt and truthful nature around the company and the singer does live up to those stories. Ask her if you look fat and she will tell you the truth even if it hurts. She's too loyal; she'll stick to something or someone until she feels as if the spark between them is blowing out. Then, and only then, will she make the last move and blow out the flame herself.
She might be another easy going person, but Seoyoung does have common sense. A little too much of it, to the extent that you'd want to kill her for it. Besides that, Sarcasm is her second language, after Korean and before Mandarin.
Her onstage persona may say so otherwise, but Seoyoung really doesn't have much self confidence. She is probably the most sensitive person you'd ever meet, and the smallest of insults will leave her thinking lowly of herself. She really isn't fierce and frigid, and only turns that way if and when someone says or does something unthinkable. Her typically small eyes will turn into a pair of slashes with all the glaring she'd be doing. Even with that though, Seoyoung will never dare to utter a single coarse word. She will not dare cross the line.
Everything has to be perfect in order to cross paths with Shin Seoyoung, and she will live up to that rule. She will have perfection one way or another, even if she would have to beg or punish. This isn't only because she is diagnosed with OCD though. She's just so used to growing up perfect - or at least trying to imitate flawlessness - that there is absolutely no way to deprive her from it. From waking up in the morning to singing to dancing, everything has to be on the dot.
Seoyoung is also very accountable and responsible. She takes her responsibilities very seriously, and is very dependable. She deeply values security and stability, and has a strong focus on the details of life. She sees before others do what needs to be done, and does whatever it takes to make sure that it gets done. She enjoys these types of tasks, and is extremely good at them. She carries herself with a great posture, talks responsibly, and takes on challenges that seem to possible for a girl with an innocent face like hers. She always holds assurance for herself buried deep inside and will share that assurance with everyone when needed. Seoyoung is well-organized and works fairly and properly towards every set goal. She usually puts others' needs before her own. These characteristics always fool everyone into thinking that she's older than she actually is.
Seoyoung is a natural leader, although she usually choose to remain in the background until she see a real need to take over the lead. When she is in leadership roles, she is quite effective, because she is able to objectively see the reality of a situation, and is adaptable enough to change things that aren't working well. She is a supreme strategists - always scanning available ideas and concepts and weighing them against her current strategy, to plan for every conceivable contingency. This is because she is a people-focused individual, caring about the need of others more than her own. Because of this, she has excellent people skills. She understands and cares about people, and has a special talent for bringing out the best in others, either through force or through natural causes - i.e. practice. One of her main interests in life is giving love, support, and a good time to other people, one of the reasons why she wanted to become an idol. She is mainly focused on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others. She is willing to and will make things happen for people, and gets personal satisfaction from this.

Name of ulzzang: Jung Minhee
Family/friends/background Information
Family:
| Shin Youngsoo | Father | 56 years old | Physical Therapist | He was born and raised in Ulsan, South Korea in a family of the lower-class. Without the money, he dropped out of second year high school, but is very wise. He and Seoyoung are very close; she's his little princess. Even though she isn't youngest child, he spoiled her the most. He died when Seoyoung was 15 years old due to seizure but his memory still lives on with her.
| Park Saekyung | Mother | 54 years old | Pediatrician | She was born and raised in Jeonju, North Jeolla, South Korea as the daughter of middle-class parents. She went to school diligently and always came home as one of the Top 5 - if not the very top - of her grade. Seoyoung and her mother really aren't the best of friends since it wasn't Seoyoung's mother's dream for her to become an idol, but a doctor.
| Shin Yoojin | Older Sister | 25 years old | Lawyer | She's very serious and studious, and hardly ever laughs. She's often referred to as the 'black hole' of the family because of this. The only times she really opens up is when she's with her husband of a year and rarely to even her own family.
| Shin Soohyun | Older Brother | 22 years old | Member of U-Kiss | He can come off having a hard shell on the outside and is often predicted to be a cold 'monster', but he really is a sensitive sweetheart inside. They're very close because they both love to laugh, sing, and are plainly the "disappointments" of the Shin family for pursuing the idol careers. He's very overprotective over his younger siblings, even to their oldest sister, and will go the extremes to make sure everyone is happy and stays happy.
| Shin Saerin | Younger Sister | 19 years old | College student @ Ewha Womans University | She's the youngest one in the family and is probably the bratiest one. Like any other older sibling, Seoyoung finds her whines, complaints, and all in all complete existence completely and utterly annoying. If only time could be reversed...
[It's really difficult to find pictures of non-artist for older people to portray the mother and father, so I hope you don't mind!]
Best Friend:
| Kim Taeyeon | Leader of Girls' Generation | 22 years old

Stage Information
Stage Name: [Shin] Seoyoung
Position: Main Vocalist | Lead Vocalist
Official FanClub: The EYE of SK-EYE or simply The EYE or EYES. Stupid, I know. xD
Individual FanClub: FairyTopia
Rival(s):
| Yoo Jooyi | Member of RaNia | First of all, they really aren't rivals. They never were, nor will they ever be. They're good friends and nothing will change that. It was basically the netizens' faults. People found that their voices were very similar - somewhat husky and have a wide range - and started to compare them to each other, from looks to popularity. It's all in people's heads, the whole thing.
Relationship
Partner: Kim Sunggyu | Leader of Infinite | 22 years old
How you met:
All in all, it was actually a pleasant way to meet.
It was during 2007 and some of Seoyoung's friends finally convinced her to going on a blind date. Yoon Kyungjae, they said his name was. But keep in mind, Seoyoung wasn't as fond of boys as she could have been, so she really was dreading the day of the date.
Anyway, there she was just sitting at a booth near the windows at a beautiful café when a bouquet of roses landed in front of her. She never liked roses because they were just so overrated and immediately made a face at them, way before even looking up at who dropped them on the table. "What are these? Get them away now." were literally the first words she spoke to her blind date. When she finally looked up, she saw his stunned expression. She just glared at him. Yes, I suppose he was cute to her, but it certainly didn't show on her hard expression. Long story short, she had him running away from the café in no time. And yes, she threw the flowers at him made him take the stupid flowers with him.
Just like in the beginning, she was left there just sitting, posture upright with an uninterested expression. She really wasn't ecstatic that the date didn't turn out well, nor was she upset that she just made a guy run away from her. She was actually feeling pretty neutral. Admittedly, yes, she was somewhat disappointed that she didn't get to talk to him, but there really was nothing she could do ti reverse what she had already done.
So there she was just sitting there when another guy plopped down on the chair opposite of her. She looked up to see his charming face. 'Cute,' she thought, and immediately felt disgusted that she even thought that. Who was he and why was he there were the next things that came to mind. At first she thought her friends were spying on her and saw her blind date run out and so they payed some random stranger to cheer her up, but she was wrong.
"I'm Sunggyu," he introduced himself, holding out his hand for her to take, "Kim Sunggyu." As embarrassing as it was, she just stared at his outstretched hand for a few minutes until she finally got the courage to shake it. "Shin Seoyoung. Why exactly are you here?"
He chuckled slightly and looked down, his brows furrowed as he studied the pattern of the tablecloth. "I saw what happened there. I never knew a human being could run so fast."
She honestly could have punched him right there.
Sensing her building anger, he quickly recovered, "Don't worry about it. My date stood me up," he announced bitterly.
And everything seemed to fall into place after that. They talked for what seemed like days, but ended up only lasting an hour or so. They exchanged numbers and he honestly became her best guy friend that day. They still are the best of friends to this day though, even if there are those days she just wants to punch his face in for not noticing her feelings for him. Boys are just plain stupid, it's not even funny.
[No, that's not detailed. xD]
Past relationship:
Yoon Kyoungjae | Fictional Character | 22 years old
She did give him a chance, and they did last pretty long - from 2008 to 2009. She found him quite interesting and vice versa despite judging each other badly during the first meeting. Their breakup was mutual because both were losing the spark that they once had. Plus he was already crushing on the new transfer student from China then. She really couldn't get mad since she started crushing on Sunggyu around that time as well.
About partner:
Personality - He has an attentive personality. He's very observant and alert, even though he may come off as a shy and reserved guy. Almost always calm and collective, Sunggyu was unbelievably in a rock band in his senior year of high school. He is quiet most of the time - usually because he's bored/mad/upset/spacing-out/tired - and always seems to keep on expression, the Neutral Face.
He may be like this, but there is another side to Kim Sunggyu. He likes to tell cheesy jokes and laughs at them himself since it doesn't really take much effort to make him laugh. When he does laugh, his eyes will shrink to the point that you can barely tell they're there. He's told that he resembles a hamster when this happens, though he believes that he always looks like one. He is also very sensitive and easily hurt. He isn't one to hold grudges and has a really soft, warm heart. He's very oblivious and quite easy to fool, even though his pranks are always top notch. He hates to say goodbye. He doesn't really like to show negative feelings such as sadness and disappointment and will keep those feelings to himself.
Despite this, he always desires perfection. This is because his parents rejected his dream of becoming a singer. He works hard to prove to them that he does have talent and he does deserve to be a singer. He's strict and very cautious of his every move, always making sure that they're precise. No slip ups must be found, or else he will become infuriated. In spite of this, he is very patient but people always try not to get him upset due to his weak heart (he has a cabinet full of medicines alone) but things don't always go as planned. He chooses to drink Soju when he's stressed.
Sunggyu can literally go from a Happy-Go-Lucky guy to a My-Word-Is-Law type of guy. It's actually scary how he can play both parts so well.
Random Facts -
| Since he is older than her, he orders her around a lot. ["Get me water.", "Come over and wash the dishes.", "Go buy me food.", etc.]
| He seems to have a habit of drinking soju when he is stressed or anxious, which is practically everyday. Seoyoung does try to get him out of this habit since it isn't healthy and bought him gargantuan brown teddy bear to express his feelings to when he needed instead
| He is very touchy, a kinship type of guy. At first Seoyoung did hate that, but as time went on she grows familiar with this habit.
| He is very forgetful, and often times has to be reminded to do something.
| He seems to like sticking his tongue out randomly and spacing out just like that.
| He is very sensitive, especially about his lisp.
| No matter the season, nothing can separate him from his hot showers.
| He's a light sleeper and will wake at any type of noise.
| He's a reader at heart, even if the things he reads aren't always good.
| His favorite words around her are probably "YA!", "WHY?", and "GO GET ME …".
| He considers his eyebrows his charm.
| He's a dork. He really is.
| He smiles and/or laughs at the silliest things.
| Unlike his usual self, he's very scary when he's mad.
| He is very scared of dogs. Very. And the fact that Seoyoung has a Pomeranian who loves to play with people doesn't really help out.
Comment: Cows. I love cows, you know? They're cute. x3 I'm a vegetarian though. :P
