Full name : Heo Jamie
Other names : Korean name - Heo ChanSeok, Nickname - Jams (pronounced like James)
Age : 19
Birthday : (02/29/92)
Birthplace : GwangJu, South Korea
Hometown : Queens, NYC, New York
Ethnicity : Korean
Languages : Korean - Fluent/1st Language, English - Fluent
Blood type : A
Height : 163 cm
Weight : 54 kg
Style : Her style tends to be very boyish because she would rather pick a T-shirt or hoodie and jeans instead of a skirt or dress any day. She is a complete sneakerhead and her collection of snapbacks would rival any guy's collection, though she would settle for a beanie every now and then as well. She loves graphic tees because the more designs, the better but what would set a goot T-shirt over the top would be if it was a v-neck. She just likes being comfy. At the dorm, she'd wear just a pair of sweats and a hoodie, maybe a tank top if it was hot. Don't even try to get her into a dress even if it was a formal event. Instead, she'd wear a tux or a just a blazer. She loves to dye her hair, which the stylists hate because it ruins it. She's experimented with her hair a lot and found she likes it best when it is either wine red, brown, platinum blonde, or jet black. Her style in terms of her hair and facial appearance is very much influenced by the Japanese rock bands that she listens to.
Traits : Boyish, friendly, confident, comfortable, and blunt.
Personality :
Living in New York has made her very confident in her own skin. She isn't going to sit around and care about what people think about her or let others try to change her image. She's Jamie and that's all she can be. At the same time, because she's confident in who she is, she speaks her mind no matter what. She's not quiet and isn't afraid to say her opinion. Often times, it may come out as hurtful but she doesn't mean it that way. She's critical but not because she's mean or nit-picky but because she want improvement. She aims for the best. She's driven to be the best she can be and always works to fix her weaknesses.
At the same time, she is very stubborn because once she starts, she can't stop. She doesn't ever change her mind and once she had she mind set on a goal, she will stop at nothing to get it done her way. I guess the only real effective way to get her to change her mind is to come at her with a very logical, sound reason with evidence and other proof. You need to convince her and be very persuasive or else your efforts will prove to be futile. However, if she is not motivated and you are just forcing her to do something (like chores and doing laundry), she is the laziest person you will ever meet. Don't depend on her to do things if she doesn't want to because it'll be weeks before she gets her lazy off the couch to actually do it.
Maybe it's her out-going personality but she can make friends easily. She understands that people have different likes, dislikes, and personalities so she know how to adjust her own personality to better accommodate someone else's even without changing how own flamboyant one. She understands that if she encounters a more introverted person, she would have to make sure she's a little less loud and talkative than usual . She exerts some sort of tough girl/rocker chick kind of image, probably from living in NYC for so long, but her normal personality is very hyper and she's just a dork. She's so hyper that coffee and sugar actually calm her down because they are no match for Jamie's natural energy. She could go for days without sleep and still be extremely active.
One thing she can't do is listen or give advice. She's just not that type of person. If you have a problem, her approach isn't to try to fix but to try to help you forget it, even if it is for a little bit, by making you smile whether it be her just being a dork or telling a corny joke. At the same time, she's not going to just sit aro0und if someone around her gets hurt. She puts her all into protecting those around her even if she has to exert violence to help them. She isn't afraid of people and isn't going to back down. She's not going to give up without a fight.
If someone can pinpoint something negative about her, it's her inability to listen to people. It's hard for her to put herself into other people's shoes so once she had her mind set on something, she finds it hard to understand someone else's perspective.
Background :
Dance is her life. Her family didn't have a car, they took the subway everywhere and in the process she was intrigued by all these underground performers who didn't perform for money but because they loved it. She was especially enticed by a group of b-boys who performed at Union Square and would often go there just to see them. By the time she was 8, she was hooked and wanted to be just like them. Her parents, the supportive people they were, enrolled her into dance classes but unfortunately, they accidentally enrolled her into a ballet class instead of the jazz class that she really wanted to go to. She hated it because she knew she was different from all the snobby, stuck-up, girly girls but instead that only motivated her. They made fun of her and said that she couldn't be "graceful" or "elegant" enough to be a ballerina but she only used that as a reason to work even harder. Her parents told her to drop out because they saw that she didn't like ballet but she was too stubborn and kept working at it until she was one of the top ballerinas. After a year of taking classes, she finally quit and took the jazz classes she wanted to. What was nice, though, was that her background in ballet helped her a lot in jazz. After jazz, she tried to expand her horizons to other genres, hip-hop, modern, and contemporary. You name it, she probably took at least one class in it. She also became a self-taught break dancer.
By the time she was 16, she knew that she wanted a way to turn dance into her future and she didn't want to have to depend on her parents anymore. Her dance instructor hooked her up with a dance crew in LA called Movement Lifestyle and that was the turning point. She packed her bags and flew to LA by herself. She decided that if she wanted dance to be her future, she was going to make it her future. Working with Movement Lifestyle was amazing for her because she got to work and build relationship with amazing choreographers like Shaun Evaristo, Mari and Keone Madrid. They hooked her up. Their connections got her working as a freelance back-up dancer for a bunch of companies and her time back in Korea allowed her to audition for some big companies.
Likes : mangas, animes, comics, cartoons, coffee, sweets, junk food, things with sentimental value, indie music (Busker Busker, 4Men, Brown Eyed Soul, etc.), hip hop (Tasha, Tiger JK, Bizzy, Supreme Team, Dynamic Duo, Epic High, etc.) Japanese rock music (UVERworld, HIGH and MIGHTY Color, L'arc-En-Ciel, The Brilliant Green, etc.)
Dislikes : books, judgemental people, hypocrites, two-faced people, vegetables, being told what to do, snobby people
Hobbies : dancing, choreographing new dances, watching anime, reading manga, playing video games, playing basketball, sleeping
Habits : When she is really mad, she yells (and curses) in Korean and English. She sleep talks. She occasionally sleep walks (when she's really tired).
Fears : not meeting her goals, disappointing herself (and others), failure, being alone
Trivia :
She has an addiction to coffee but she only drinks those fancy coffees. Her favorites would be iced caramel lattes when it's hot and caramel macchiatos when it's cold outside. If she's not in the mood for caffeine and needs a drink, she'll get a green tea frappaccino or a chai latte.
She's been to the Starbucks but her apartment in L.A. so often that the workers know her so when they see her coming towards there, they already start preparing her order.
She has a tattoo of the Movement Lifestyle logo on the front of her wrist (right below her palm) and a rose at the base of her back. She wants to get another tattoo of half a heart at the part of her hand right below her thumb after she gets married so that her husband can get the other hald tattooed in the same place (but opposite hands) so when they hold hands, it'll form a complete heart.
She had double piercings on both her lobes and her cartilage done on her right ear. She has a bar on her left ear.
She is a complete nerd when it comes to comics. When she lived in L.A., she went to comic con every year no matter how broke she was (if she was). Power Rangers was her favorite show ever and as a kid she watched every episode of every season of Power Rangers, Poke'mon, Digimon, and Yu-Gi-Oh as well as collected Poke'mon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards. She also collected Power Ranger toys (like the morphers and action figures) and Digimon Digivices. She doesn't let anyone touch her collections.
Currently, she is obsessed with Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra so most of her tweets and instagram posts would center around that. In Airbender, she is in love with Zuko and hates Aang and Katara. Her favorite characters would be Mai and Azula. In Korra, she is an avid Makorra shipper (Mako and Korra) and loves Iroh (since his voice actor is the same as Zuko's) and Eska (since she is the culmination of everything that is Azula and Mai).
She would spend her days off watching animes and catching up on Korra in Starbucks or sleeping the whole day.
She has played and beaten almost every RPG known to man including the Final Fantasy series, the Kingdom Hearts series, the Xenosaga series, the Persona series, and the Trauma Center series (which she played because her mom told her as a last attempt to convince her to go into the medical field instead). She has a huge crush on Titus and Cloud from Final Fantasy and Roxas from Kingdom Hearts.

Stage Name : Jamie
Persona : The Tough Dork
Fanclub Name & Color : The Little Rockers Black & Gold
Trainee Life : Well for Jamie, she's been taking nonstop dance classes since she was a little kid so trainee life wasn't so hard for her. She was used to the sleepless nights of practice and hardly seeing her family because she moved to LA to pursue her dance career. This is what she lived for and she loved every second of it. She didn't have any family in Korea because her whole family immigrated to the States in the 50s but her family at Movement Lifestyle introduced her to other Asian-Americans living in Korea, following the same path as her, so she was never lonely. She made her own family with the back-up dancers she met working with YG (since Movement Lifestyle was closest to them) and the other American/Western trainees. She snuck out a lot. She was good at that. It was reminiscent of the times she would sneak out of her room in NYC down the fire escape and explore the city by herself. She was often treated as an outsider amongst the female trainees because she was different but she found confidence and security with the family she made there. Since she didn't really talk to the girls, just like when she took ballet classes as a kid, she hung out more with the guys. They had more in common anyway.
Trainee Years : 2 years
How were you discovered? : She auditioned for SM 1 year after she was living in Korea. She was tired of being just a back-up dancer and wanted to be front and center on the stage.
Position : vocalist, lead dancer, main rapper
Back-Up position : 2nd lead dancer, vocalist
Specialty : Dancing, more specifically contemporary and jazz. She can also b-boy a little and does hip hop every once in a while.
Examples: Here, here, here, and here~.
Gimmie Some Candy!
Friends :
Amber of f(x) | 21 | Idol | These two are like the same person encompassed in two differente bodies. They are scarily similar. They act like sisters basically and talk/text each other on a daily basis. You know that the two haven't been able to talk yet when they start to get all mopey since they're separated from their "other half". The two are so close that they can flat out insult the other without making the other feel bad since they know automatically that they're just joking around. The two are kinds touchy with each other especially since Amber likes to snuggle. Jamie just goes along with it. They have endless things to talk about and once you get them together, they are the hardest to try to separate again. Amber was Jamie's first friend in SM mostly because she was also close to a couple of the Movement Lifestyle crew members.
Ailee | 21 | Idol | Jamie knew Ailee ever since they were little kids. When Jamie first went to ballet class, Ailee was in the advanced class and acted as Jamie's support when the other girls made fun of her. Ever since then, they were really close even though Ailee ventured more into singing and music while Jamie went into dance. The two are extremely supportive of each other and if something really amazing happens, like they win an award, the other person would be the first person they call, besides their family that is. Jamie was the person who introduced Amber and Ailee to each other and the trio because inseparable. They love to joke around with each other and eat. Food/eating is their passion, besides their jobs, so whenever they meet up, there has to be food.
Jay Park | 22 |Artist | Ailee introduced the two because she was involved with Art of Movement and thought it would be cool for Jamie not only to have more friends but friends who shared the same passions in dancing with her. They met when Jamie was 18 and he was 21. At first, they liked each other, like like liked each other, and went out for a good amount of time. However, the two mutually decided that they were better as friends than a couple and broke up but are still really close friends. They act like brother and sister. Jay likes to tease Jamie a lot and then Jamie would just hit him in response. Their relationship is slightly abusive, but a friendly, loving abusive if that makes any sense. Jay is always there to help Jamie perfect a new dance move. He's like her big brother, mentor figure.
Kris | 22 | Idol | Amber introduced Kris to Jamie because when Kris first came to SM, he didn't know that many people since his Korean wasn't all that good yet. To Kris, Jamie is just one of the guys and the two are really comfortable around each other. They greet each other with a fist bump or a bro hug and just joke around. They're both dorks so putting them in a room together means and explosion of idiot. You just can't be serious when these two are together. They talk about basketball, which Jamie is pretty good at and has beaten Kris a fair number of times in. They talk about rapping and Kris likes to help Jamie work on her freestyle, which she is pretty good in now, though you should have seen how terrible she was before.
Family :
John Heo | 44 | Businessman | Since Jamie was a kid, her dad was rarely hope since his job made him travel constantly from place to place. She understood that but he still felt guilty so when he was home, he would spend every second of his time with his family, whether it was going to a baseball game together (they were avid New York Mets fans and Jamie even has the MLB app on her phone so she could watch all their games despite being in Korea) or just staying at home while watching a movie. His absense, however, has allowed Jamie to grow up with all the freedom she had. She attributes her ability to easily adjust to a situation and be independent to his absence.
Christine Heo | 42 | Nurse | As a mother, Christine always wanted Jamie to stay as "her little girl" but she realized that she couldn't and would have to grow up eventually and face the real world so in preparation for this, she always allowed Jamie to make her own decision and live her own life. She wanted Jamie to make her own mistakes and learn how to fix them herself. The motherly part of her, however, still manages to peak out every once in a while so ever since Jamie moved out, she would regularly send her care packages so that she wouldn't miss home as much.
Rival : Yoona
Why you are rivals : When Jamie first got into SM, Yoona was the judgmental one who immediately disliked her first because she was so different and boyish. TO Jamie, Yoona acts like those girls in her ballet class so there is an equal amount of dislike between the two. Yoona is waiting for Jamie to fail because she doesn't think Jamie can survive in a society where girls are supposed to be feminine and demure while Jamie is out to prove her wrong.
Scandal Requests? : I guess she would have a lot of dating scandals since she hangs out with a lot of guys but then the fans would have to realize that she's just naturally friendly which is why she has a lot of guy friends.
Lover : DongWoo
Group : Infinite
Age : 22
Personality : He loves to smile and his laugh makes everyone else smile along with him. DongWoo doesn't want others to worry so he masks his own emotions with that bright smile of his no matter how much he is hurting inside. That's why when you see him frown, you know he is really really hurting. He would rather himself suffer than others and always looks out for his dongsaengs first. He's selfless and kind but at the same time, his smile makes him the life of the party. He loves to smile and be happy. He's hyper and energetic, though sometimes you wish he would just come with an off switch. His friendliness makes him love skinship and get really touchy with people, even if he's not all that close with them yet.
How you treat each other : The two met through Amber so Jamie looks at him like an older brother, then again she looks at most guys she meets as an older brother. She got comfortable with him really quickly and he did the same. The two love to just joke around with each other and he loves to by messing up her hair, which she would just respond with a glare. He treats her like just one of the Infinite members and would rather play video game or basketball with her. DongWoo's love of skinship means whenever you see the two together, he always has an arm around her neck or she would links arms with him but it really doesn't mean much. The two are just really close.
Back-up Lover : JongHyun
Group : SHINEE
Age : 23
Personality : JongHyun is a flirt and a leech, but in a good way. He's really greasy but you just can't help but love him. He doesn't mean any harm by flirting with every girl that passes by. It's just who he is. Most of the time, he doesn't even notice it. He has that sleazy grin that makes you want to roll your eyes but not shoo him away. You hate him but you have to love him because underneath it all, he cares. He's the one the would secretly leave you medicine if he sees you getting sick, but he just won't admit it even if you know it's him.
How you treat each other : JongHyun always flirts with Jamie for fun but she just playfully pushes him away. She knows he's just joking, but there are times when she's not sure if he's serious or if he's just joking like usual. The two are almost like besties, I say almost because they are really close but Jamie puts some distance between the two since she knows his personality.

you're the sweetest.
thank you so much for applying!^.^
Questions? : Ummm.. I don't really have any. I do have a suggestion. I noticed that the track lists in the sub-unit section weren't complete so if you want, I can help you choose some. I listen to a very diverse group of K-pop songs mostly since I find myself listening to the B-sides of the albums rather than the title song itself.
Fanclub Name Ideas?: Maybe something like Eternals since it carries that same meaning of Perennial or Petals since Perennial gives off a floral connotation.'
Show/Activity Requests?: Hello Baby might be cute or maybe some sort of reality show like 2NE1 TV or Sesame Player
Plots Requests? : Not really....
