Shin Eunkyung (신은경)

I Am...

This Is Me

Personality Before Disorder: Eunkyung was very fun and kind. She was a great friend who could cheer anyone up within a minute. Even though she was more introverted, she still always had a smile on her face and she was always telling jokes or laughing at someone else’s jokes. She could easily converse with other people and she got along with everybody. Even if you just sat next to her, she could make you smile with her sweet words. She was honest, but kind about it. She would not pretend to be someone’s friend and she only socialized with people she liked. She loved to take pictures of her and her friends and keep them in a photo album for herself. Since it’s hard for Eunkyung to say ‘no’, she’s is seen as a doormat sometimes. But, she is definitely not a doormat.
Even though Eunkyung is very kind, she’s a fierce competitor. She won’t back down to a challenge and she will stand up for what she believes in. She’s a hard-worker and will continue to practice until she gets it right. She is determined, confident, and a perfectionist. She needs everything to be right on and flawless. She’s critical of herself and makes sure that she gets everything right. Eunkyung was a strong, confident, determined, happy girl. Everybody loved her and she was very popular and successful.
Personality During Disorder: While Eunkyung’s smile remains on her face, anyone could tell it’s not true. She doesn’t have the light in her eyes anymore. She doesn’t like to talk to people and she’s very shy. She tries to put a happy face on and speak to her friends, but it drains her energy, emotionally, and she finds herself not able to keep up with conversations. She can’t focus in school, and her grades are slipping. All she wants to do is sleep, and she finds it the time of day she looks forward to the most. She doesn’t want to go out with her friends anymore, and they soon drifted away from her (except two). She doesn’t have the same sense of humor she once had and she doesn’t have the same energy she used to. She doesn’t find gymnastics to be fun, but rather an obligation that she would rather not do. She dreads practice everyday, but she can’t say no. When she looks in the mirror, she can’t help but only see her imperfections. She’s easily influenced and hurt by words, but she doesn’t let it show. She will not show any type of weakness. While she tries to keep her smile on her face and get along with everyone, she can’t keep it up for long. She doesn’t cry because if she does, she won’t be able to stop.

My Relationships

Mother: Shin Yujin | 49 | Korean | Nurse | Though Yujin was hard on Eunkyung, she now understands her depression and is very supportive and kind. She is still tough, but in a gentler way. She just wants her little girl to be happy again, and she’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen.
Father: Shin Daejung | 50 | Korean | CEO | Daejung is tough on Eunkyung, even during her depression. He doesn’t really understand the concept of it. He thinks that she’s just being wimpy. When his wife and daughter yell at him for being mean to Eunkyung, he backs down easily, seeing the pain in his daughter’s eyes. He loves Eunkyung, but he doesn’t know how to handle her depression and anorexia.
Sibling(s): Shin Hyesong | 20 | Korean | University Student | Hyesong and Eunkyung get along very well, and Hyesong is the only one who Eunkyung feels any kind of support from. Hyesong has always been there for Eunkyung, and she would do anything to make her little sister happy and healthy again. Eunkyung sees this, but she pushes Hyesong away. She feels that she’s not worth the trouble.
Background: Eunkyung was born in Goyang, Gyeonggi. She is the second/youngest child in her family. Her family life is very average, though she does have a little more money than most people. She grew up very happy and is very loved.
When Eunkyung was 6 years old, her mother took Eunkyung and Hyesong to an open gymnastics arena. Eunkyung and Hyesong were playing around when a trainer approached their mother and told her that Eunkyung had a lot of talent for gymnastics. So, her mother put Eunkyung into group lessons, which turned into private lessons within a month. Eunkyung loved gymnastics and she always looked forward to practice.
When she was 12 years old, Eunkyung’s family moved from Goyang to Seoul for her father’s work. Eunkyung went to work with a new coach, Lee Jinhyuk, and she transferred schools. She was still happy and improved greatly with her new coach. When she was 15, Eunkyung won the Korean National Gymnastics Championships, which qualified her for the World Championships. She placed 10^th at Worlds. The next year, Eunkyung won Nationals again and placed third at Worlds. When Eunkyung went for her third national title, and a spot on the Olympic gymnastics team, she fell off the bars and was disqualified. Even though she was named the alternate, she was unable to go to the Olympics. Since then, Eunkyung hasn’t been the same.
(Best)Friend(s):
Kim Inha | 16 | Student at Seoul High School & Gymnast | Inha is very kind and supportive. She’s usually quiet, but when she’s with friends, she becomes crazy and fun. She’s a great friend who is willing to do anything to help someone. She’s stubborn and won’t give up until she gets what she wants. | Inha and Eunkyung are best friends. They train together under the same coach and they always cheer each other on. Inha is the only one who knows what’s going on with Eunkyung, and she is determined to help her friend.
Park Jungshin | 18 | Student at Seoul High School | Jungshin is very quiet and shy. He doesn’t talk often, but when he does, it’s very wise. He’s great at giving advice and loves to help people. He’s extremely smart and barely studies, but still gets straight A’s. Aside from Inha and Eunkyung, nobody even talks to Jungshin. | Jungshin and Eunkyung are best friends. Eunkyung is the only one Jungshin can talk to (besides Inha, but he can’t really talk to her that much). Eunkyung never told Jungshin about her issues, but he knows that something is wrong. He wants to help Eunkyung in any way he can.
Rival: Lee Minah | 18 | Gymnast | She’s very conceited and stubborn. She wants to win, but doesn’t work for it. She’s spoiled and believes that anything will come to her when she simply asks for it. She doesn’t know what “hard work” means. | Minah is a bully to Eunkyung. She is a gymnast as well, and she ended up taking Eunkyung’s spot on the Olympic gymnastics team (with Eunkyung being named the alternate). Minah is not a nice girl, always rubbing it in that Eunkyung missed her spot on the Olympic team. Even with her verbal abuse, Eunkyung doesn’t fight back. She believes all of it.

I’m Sick

What disorder do you have? Depression | Anorexia | Bulimia | Other
How did you develop the disorder? Eunkyung was a champion gymnast. Her name was known throughout Korea, Asia, and even the entire world of gymnastics. She was on her way to the Olympics in 2012, and nobody had a doubt that she would be the top Korean gymnast. However, during the National Championships, Eunkyung’s hand slipped off the bars during her routine and her head hit the bar, knocking her unconscious. She was disqualified from Nationals and was named as an alternate for the 2012 Olympics, meaning she was not able to go. Ever since then, her coach has pushed her harder than before.

She wanted to show Eunkyung that there are more people out there like her and she should seek help.

Help Me

Mentor: Lee Hyukjae (Eunhyuk) | Super Junior
Mentor Personality: Eunhyuk is very kind and funny. He’s great at lifting the mood and making people feel good. He’s outgoing and not afraid to make a fool of himself. However, with girls, he becomes a little shyer. He is a hard-worker and loves to win. He can be a bit of a pushover, but he does know when to take a stand. He is very kind, funny, and easy to get along with.
How do you interact with each other? Eunkyung is cold and silent to Eunhyuk. She thinks that Eunhyuk is just using her to get popularity and make money through the show, so she does nothing to help Eunhyuk help her. Soon though, she starts to open up to him and he starts to protect her from her mean coach. Eunhyuk is very supportive and he’s willing to do anything to help Eunkyung, even when she pushes him away. He would even spend the entire day with her to make sure she eats something.
First Meeting: Eunhyuk meets her at her gymnastics training center, where he secretly watches her practice before introducing himself.
