[the inner you]

Mind to describe your personality for a bit?: 

I'm not really a shy person. I love going all out and having fun. My close friends would say I'm daring and I like to challenge others. I am very spontanious and I think before I act. I have quick reactions and I can quickly improvise on the spot. My mouth usually runs a lot. I'm a very quirky and witty person to be around. I love to make others feel welcome and I'm very approachable. Even though it may seem like I'm very immature, I'm actually quite mature. My parents tend to tell me that I can have a little bit of an attitude when I'm upset and I seem to ramble on for awhile. I don't really care if I embarrass myself because life is full of mistakes. I don't really like when others mess with my family or friends. I'm usually calm and collected but if you get me angry I become a whole different person. I sometimes put on a hard shell on the outside to keep me from getting hurt. Most people don't know that I don't like to get my feelings hurt. 

I tend to have a witty mouth and people laugh at me for it. I love to joke around and just be comfortable with others. I'm also very intelligent and like to use big vocabulary words. Some say that I'm serendipitous and I have an optomistic attitude towards things. I am someone who you can trust and become close with. I know when I'm wrong and I'll apologize if I have to. I'm very passionate about my goals and I strive to make it happen. I am a person who likes to easily manipulate you with my sly words. I do it for fun though. I'm a very quick learner and I do my best. I am someone who is independent and I always have determination in my eyes.

Hm, alright then. What do you like?: 

The main things I prefer are;

• Thai boba tea
• strawberries, mangoes, persimmons

• running my fingers through my hair when I'm stressed
• talking to myself when I'm concentrating

[the outer you]

You are required to send at least three of your pictures:  1 2 3

Ah, you look pretty in these! What's your style of clothing?: 

 I am always found wearing something that is sweet and a hint of y. I don't like anything frilly. I'm in love with maxi skirts and dresses. I likes to pair things with denim jackets. Everyday is dress up day for me. When I sleep,I likes to wear something simple like a tank top and shorts. At formal events, my favorite thing to wear is body hugging dresses to show my figure....not in a ty way. When I'm home or just have a day to myself, I usually wear something that is comfortable and fitting. I'm not the type to always wear things that are too loose. I love dressing up to go out. Sneakers and heels can never go wrong with me.

Name of the ulzzang: Jung Hyun Joo

[connections]

Who's your family members? You know, in case something bad happens: 

My father is Chang Kisoo, and my mother is Chang Xiyue. I don't have any siblings sadly.

Mind telling me a bit about your background? We want to have trainees from a good background: 

I was born and raised in California. My mother is Chinese and my father is Korean. My parents of course never wanted me to forget my nationalities, so they taught me how to speak fluently in Korean and Chinese. I never had any problems growing up. My childhood was very fun but lonely. My mother wasn't able to concieve anymore children and so I was the only child. As a teen, my parents didn't really let me go out. So, I did what any normal teenager would do and either lied or sneaked out. Just because I lied to my parents, it didn't mean that I wasn't good in school. I went through school with a 4.0 and have gotten awards from the school. At the age of 15, I found what I was truly passionate about, which is singing. I became obsessed with the dream ever since. I've auditioned over 2 times and wasn't able to get through. I've auditioned for JYP and Pledis before applying to SM and getting in. At 16, I moved to Seoul, Korea  after convincing my parents and began my journey as an SM trainee. 

How about close friends? Any idols? Ulzzangs? Models?:

My best friend is actually Eli of U-kiss. I'm also very close to Kara's Nicole and Infinite's Sunggyu.

Friends? Acquaintances? People you wish to meet?: 

I would definitely like to meet Teen Top's Chunji and Niel as well as BAP's Daehyun....so cute.keke I can't like Niel in that way because I don't believe in me being a pedi-noona. kyakya just kidding. :)

Do you dislike somebody? Like, a rival, be honest now! I know it can't be helped!:  

I'm not really fond of Apinks's Eunji. I tried to approach her once and she kind of gave me a "get away from me" look. -_-

Ah, be honest to Manager Choi, who's your crush/love interest, perhaps you have a boyfriend?:

Kris Wu..I'm turning red.keke

---

[love interest]

Now that we're talking about love and I want to know more about you, how do you act around your crush/boyfriend etc?: 

Because I'm not shy, I tend to try and open him up. I guess you can say I become baffled because I don't know how to act around him. I try to keep it cool and just be normal but I just can't. There's something about him that makes my heart melt instantly. I tend to smile more and be well humbled. I guess he balances my personality so I'm not over the top. He basically gives me a reality check when I need it. 

Aw, that's cute, what's his personality? Describe it a bit for me, yes?: 

 Kris is someone who doesn't open easily to others. He likes to joke around and always has a smart remark. He thinks and acts mature. He doesn't like to be embarrassed. He is someone you can trust and go to when you need help and advice. He is very caring and considerate of others. His temper is very bad if you get him angry. He doesn't like to show that he is weak at all. It is very rare to see him cry. He is a great listener and is always willing to do things for others. He is very charming and can easily get you with his choice of words. He tends to be a bit cocky sometimes.

If, perhaps you haven't met, how do you want to meet him?: 

I've actually already met him. 

Well, if you guys had met, how was your first meeting?: 

I met him when I joined the company. He accidently pushed the building door causing me to drop my coffee. He apologized like a million times but I wasn't upset. He insisted on buying me a new one but I refused. A couple days later he actually saw me at a cafe' and decided to buy me a coffee. he set it down on my table and asked me if he could join. Of course I let him join me. We ended up talking and enjoying each other's comapny that day. But, since training got the best of us, we weren't able to meet again.

[trainee days]

Well alright, how long have you been training for?: 

I've trained for 3 years now.

Woah! That's amazing, I salute your strength! How was your trainee days? Is it good? Tough?:

My trainee days were actually quite rough. Being 16 and out in Korea by myself was really crazy. I missed my parents for the most part. I did love the freedom though. There were times where I wanted to give up because the teachers were really straight forward. That didn't stop me. It made me stronger as a person and it has taught me to keep going and prove them wrong. Even though it was hard, I'm glad I endured through it all. 

Hm... what else... ah! What did you train? You know like, singing, rap, dance, acting etc..:

I trained in singing, rapping, dancing, and mcing.
