BIOGRAPHY

Personality:

Judging by the way she dressed herself, people would know that she really knew A LOT about fashion, and she really make it a big deal as how she dressed herself in public, from what shoes she wears to what accesories she put on. Plus the little attitude she gave off, she earned herself the title 'Diva'. Every gesture she shown was sharp and without the slightest hesitation, which meant that she's daring and might be a little snarky. The jokes that she made and the way she exchanged through the conversations clearly shows that she's easy-going and somewhat mischievious.

Loving to socialize and the ability to easily blends in with the crowd wherever she goes are the traits that people mostly found likeable. She's never one to be shy even around strangers, which had gained her lots of friends. One thing that she treasured most is friendships, hence the reason why she loves hanging out with her friends doing anything they find to be fun. She called these moments as 'bonding time'.

She's loyal when it comes to any kind of relationships. In addition to her honest-nature, she tends to get hurt a lot. She trusts people esily, and always guillable. Though she led a carefree life, she's prone to get stressed easily, and she can never really cope with too much stress. People often mistaken her as an optimist with her cheerful demeanor, but she's the opposite. Always one to think of the worst case scenario, which made her depress easily.  She's also the natural klutz. She's athletic and she really loves engaging in physical activities. She hit the gym quite often too. Though she's a romantic, she dislikes showing her affections by being mushy, she's rather have a playful banter.

Background: Her parents met and got married in Seattle, America where her mother came from though she was a Korean, and she was born there. They lived in Daegu, South Korea after she was born until the age of six, her family moved back to Seattle. Her brother was born when she was 10 and after she finished her grade school, they moved back to Daegu. At the age of 15, her father got transfered again to Japan, but she chooses to stay in Korea and enrolled herself in a boarding school, while her brother followed her parents to Japan. But she visits her family in Japan 5 times a year. The reason for her stay in Korea was because she wants to audition and become an entertainer of some sort. At the age of 17 (2007), she was casted into YG when she became the runner-up for YG's reality talent show 'Hip Hop Generation', where her dorm life began. After graduating from high school, she was accepted into Seoul Arts University as a student majoring in modern music and composing. In the early 2012, she was told by her parents of her brother's acceptance into SM as a trainee and will began his dorm life shortly. She opposed to the news at first because he was still too young but because of her brother's determination, she decided to support him all the way. And besides, she love having her younger brother here in Korea since she was kinda feeling lonely and she misses her baby brother.

Trainee experience: She had been a trainee since 2007. Aside from having vocal and dance training, she was also obligued to train for acting, as recommended by Gummy, because of her tall stature and unique face. And from the start, she has been told that if she didn't make it as an idol, she would be debuted as an actress instead. In 2009, GD and TOP had taken the liberty to take her, as well as another 2 trainees under their wings for additional rapping lessons. From there, she had became closer to GD and she also learned composing through him. She had been featured once in Big Bang's Japanese PV, as well as a few of Se7en's Japanese PV, and her raps had been featured in a few of Gummy's hit songs. She had models for a few times during her 5 years of training, where she met Hyo Rin in one of the photoshoots. She was actually one of the candidates for the members of 2NE1, but she was put on hold because of GD's and TOP's reasoning that she still had not enough training.

RELATIONSHIP

Friends: 

1. G-Dragon (Kwon Jiyong) | 24 | Idol (Big Bang)

2. Min Hyo Rin | 26 | Actress/Model

3. Eunhyuk (Lee Hyukjae) | 26 | Idol (Super Junior) 

Love Interest: 

Shim Changmin | 24 | Idol (TVXQ) | Maybe because he had 2 sisters, he acts like the big brother he always does - overprotective and caring, but definitely stern. He's not one that like to spoilt even someone that he likes to show his affections, but he does it mostly by being attentive and supportive even in little things like texting goodnight. Skinships are kept to minimum, the most is holding hands, and a few hugs and kisses here and there (if they get together). He tends to treat her more like a sister than a woman. | Love Interest/Lover | We actually met before my debut in a shopping district in Shibuya, Japan. I'm a fan actually. The meeting happened at dawn, around 4am, and there were actually a part of the shopping district that were opened 24 hours but not many knew of it. I knew it since one of the shops is Jiyong's (GD) favorites and he had once brought me along shopping in one of out trip to Japan. I bumped into him in the store. I was actually going to buy a birthday present for Jiyong from his favorite store but since I'm a klutz, I forgot his size, so I grab the next person whose size was close enough and Changmin happened to be standing hust behind me looking through the clothes rack, not that there were anyone aside from us in the store at that time. When I went to thank him after paying was when I realized who he was.

Rival:

Im Hye Young | 20 | SM's Actress | She treats me like how a hoobae should treats a sunbae in front of people but when we were alone, she became hostile. She hates me because she used to be Changmin's and Eunhyuk's close donsaeng but later, I replaced her.
