★This is what I Am.

» Personality: Kari is often the moodmaker in the group as she's always making jokes and playing around with everyone at work. She loves dancing and is always doing random skip, hoppy steps even when she is walking. Kari isn't one that can sit still and can come off quite hyperactive but it's because of her bubbly attitude. She is simliar to Hoseok in that way. You can't not smile when Kari is around being dorky and stupid and playing jokes on everyone. She is the same on and off camera and gets told off quite a lot by the managers and her unnies (even her dongsaengs at times) for being so "herself" but it's because Kari doesn't believe one should hide who they are. She doesn't care much about her image and will do whatever to get laughs. Kari often forgets sometimes when she's on air to filter what she says. This is because she is a rather fast talker (especially with her accent) and makes very quick and witty comebacks. But sometimes her comments are so terribly lame and dry, you can't help but facepalm -_-
She's not super girly or feminine but she's not tomboy either. She often wears hats (usually her "Parental Advisory" snapback her brother gave her before her audition), she loves kint sweaters and hoodies (she wears her winged hoodie a lot, a gift from Hoseok for her first year anniversary as a trainee) and wears skinnies. She only wears dresses and stuff is she's going out (like with a guy or someone she likes or some special occasion). Although she's not super girly, she can be a total fangirl (especially with Dok2 and lately Infinite) over kpop and dramas (she still loves Reply 1997 and Hoya buhahaha). She's natural skinshippy and is especially clingy to the maknae and leader of Bulletproof.

» Background: Kari grew up in Daegu and since Junior High, she had always wanted to dance. Her younger brother actually got her into hip-hop and R&B due to him blasting it in his room constantly. The genre kinda just grew on her and she trialled for a dance team at school and found she was not too bad. Ever since then she has been dancing with her crew "C4" who she has known since first year of Junior High (around 12y.o) till now. Her brother, Yoon Jaemin, is three years younger (1997) and stays with their parents back in Daegu. He taught Kari how to rap and they often cover songs on YouTube (their most popular one "Miss Independent - NeYo" in which they rewrote some of the lyrics and Jae did the rap). He heard about an audition at JYPE and told Kari to go first, even though she knew Jae was more passionate about being a trainee. He said he would join her after High School.
Her parents were reluctant at first of letting Kari go to Seoul (as she went secretly with her best friend) and are still not that keen on her becoming an Idol. Her father is supportive and secretly gave her money and arrangedd transport for her to go to the JYPE audition but her mother is still not that happy. Her mother is a bit of a perfectionist and feels that Kari could use her life better than "to play Idol" as she would say.
Kari grew up in an average household with not much "dramatic" scenes in her life. Her mother has a stable job working as an accounts manager and her father owns a ramen shop, popular with high school kids. Her father taught her how to cook and she often cooks her own meals.

 

 ★I  think I dis/like THIS.

 » Likes: CARAMEL MACCHIATO (the only sweet thing she likes, loves them and could drink them forever~), chocolate, Sushi/Kimbap (she pretty much lives off this and could eat this forever too), savoury and spicy things, the sound of rain (esp at night, she loves falling asleep to it), HIPHOP (she loves Zion T, Bumkey, Dynamic Duo and has a celeb crush on Dok2), R&B (she loves Neyo, Omarion), dancing, learning guy group dances, KDramas, Romantic Comedies (although she'll absolutely deny it if asked), composing, playing guitar, listening to music, her S3, the colour red, white, yellow her snapback and winged hoodie, playing around and playing pranks on her members and BTS (conspiring with Kookie), wearing sunnies, (sorry, is that too much?)
 » Dislike: Horror movies, spiders, bugs really, heights, snakes, halloween
 » Hobbies: Dancing, Writing lyrics, photography, cooking (she often cooks the meals in the dorm)
» Personal Talents: She can pick up dances really fast and always seems to learn guy group dances, plays guitar and piano, knows Taekwondo (3rd-dan)
 » Fears: She absolutely hates/fears bugs- Kari will scream, dolls, clowns (creep the f*k out of her
» Habits: her lips cause they dry out easily, sniffs (has hayfever and bugs the hell out of her), whenever her hands can grab paper she will fold origami (a crane usually) since she can't keep her hands still, singing along to the radio or whatever music is playing if she knows it, sometimes when she thinks she's alone she will speak to herself or sing what she is doing but she always get caught
  » Trivia:
Didn't realise Suga was Suga until she reached Big Hit. Since he was an underground rapper, Kari and Jae would often go to their performances and she was majorly crushing on Suga. She's more of a Suga-fangirl more than anything.
She cooks and cleans and nags...is pretty much the "Mother" of Bulletproof (complains about this to Hoseok as they have similar position in their groups)
Speaks in dialect most of the time - has been training to speak in standard dialect but she is still having trouble. Kari seems to be able to rap in standard so they've kinda given up and let her speak in Gyeongsang do dialect. She's getting better but still slips from time to time (when she's frustrated)
When she's dancing or learning a new move, she won't pay attention to anyone and has serious face on - her sole concentration is on dancing in the moment
She's not a fan of aegyo...at all. But for some reason when Hoseok does it, it gives her weird fluttery feelings.
Dok2 fangirl - dies whenever she hears his voice.
Her winged hoodie was given to her by Hoseok for her 16th birthday (first year of training). She always wears it when she's practicing. Is a really precious item to her.
Has a YouTube channel with her brother "Jae-Ri Collaborationz" and they post up covers, dance breaks and random vlogs. They still upload but individually now. When Jae visits or Kari goes back home they make sure to upload a video.
All her electronic devices are white
She knows English since she went to America for a year and a half with her brother where they went to the dance academy "Movement Lifestyle" and trained with Jungkook
Wears glasses (vision is pretty bad) but only at home. She always wears contacts and no one knows (except Jungkook), not even the Bulletproof girls until they dorm together.
She's currently enrolled at Seoul National Uni studying a Bachelor's in Music (part time study)
 

 

 

★I'm thankful to THEM.

  » THE FAMILY

 » Father | Yoon Baesun| 52 | Ramen Shop Owner | 8 | Caring, supportive Father that is always looking out for Kari. Sends her money now and then to make sure she is getting fed. Is accepting of her dream to become a dancer/rapper
» Mother | Im Hyesun | 49 | Accounts Manager | 7~8 | Stricter than her Father, like a Mom, motherly, taught Kari all she needs to know (cooking, cleaning) she may seem cold sometimes but she does care about Kari. She secretly gets her Father to send her food and clothes to Seoul. Is slowly accepting that their daughter wants to dance for a living.
» Younger Brother | Yoon Jaemin | 16 | Student | 9 | Swaggest lil brother ever! Haha kidding but he has swag and is really chill and acts like an older brother to Kari. Got Kari into the hiphop scene. Really supportive and made Kari audition.

  » THE BESTFRIEND(S) 

 » Lee Haejin | 19 | College Student | 9  | Rather introverted in comparison to Kari. Haejin is like Kari's "Other Half". Kinda 4D-ish as well and the two have a lot of fangirlly convos (mostly around Infinite - Kari's bias is Hoya and Haejin's is Woohyun)| Childhood friends from Daegu. Went to Junior High only together. They're really close and are like sisters. Haejin sings and they sometimes to covers to upload on Jae-Ri Collabz channel. Haejin only recently moved to Seoul for Uni, she is currently studying a Graphic Design degree. Doesn't get to see Kari as often as she would like due to her Uni schedule and Kari's trainee and school schedule.

         » THE FRIENDS

  » Min Yoongi "Suga" | 20 | BTS Main Rapper | 8  | He's Suga haha. He's a big brother figure to her but they joke around a lot making fun of each other and their members. Kari mocks Suga for his name because of how fair-skinned he is and he mocks her about her obsession with Caramel Macchiatos |  They first met in Daegu when Suga was an underground rapper. Kari was Suga's biggest fangirl but that was it. They then meet again at Big Hit and hit it off. Mostly because they can speak fast and in dialect with one another.
 » Jeon Jungkook | 16 | BTS Golden Maknae | 8  | Kookie is Kookie lol. Innocent but also likes to tease his hyungs a lot.She treats him like a friend due to their time in the States together.  | Met in dance academy Movement Lifestyle and trained together. Found out they were both from Korea and spoke in dialect. Helped each other out a lot - Kari was pretty much his translator during their time in the US.
 » Bae Suzy | 19 | Miss A's Maknae | 8  | Cute but also direct personality. She can be quite blunt unintentionally but that makes her charming. Korea's Little Sister. | Transferred to the same high school as Suzy when Kari moved to Seoul. Kari's closest same-age friend, only really good friend in Seoul really. Kari goes to Suzy to talk about anything and vice versa.
 » Song Sora | 20 | College Student, Intern at JYPE | 9 | Sarcastic and straightforward. Is like Kari's big sister and has been there for her since Junior High. | Sora was from Seoul but moved to Daegu cause of her parents for Junior High/Senior High. She met Kari when she was organising the school's Talent Show. Sora is Kari's senior and they've been besties ever since. She was the one that helped Kari go to JYP audition. Sora works as an Intern at JYPE under one of the managers. Often comes to Big Hit to help out too since they are under the same company.
 

 

★Hey Baby, I think I wanna Marry YOU !!
 

                                   

 

J-Hope

 » Name: Jung Hoseok "J-Hope"
» Age: 19
 » Occupation: Idol, Bangtan Boys
» Status: Single-ish...since him and Kari have a "thing" but aren't official (in denial really but everyone can see it)
» Personality: J-Hope always has a positive vibe and is always doing something weird and crazy. At the dorms he's the naggy mother but BTS knows they need someone like that. He is very caring and is not one to get angry easily. He's very easy going and when you're around him, you'll always feel at ease. He can turn any tense situation into a happy one - ice breaker/moodmaker. Kari and Hoseok's personality share some similar qualities but Kari is more snappy and witty whereas Hoseok is...well Hoseok haha. They are both as crazy though *ensue crazy times*

» How you met each other: Met during the JYPE Auditions and when they both got in, since they had already met each other they sorta just became friends. They stuck together since they didn't know anyone else and were both from outta town. Kari and Hoseok speak in dialect all the time and have random satoori rap battles. They come up with dance routines during their trainee days (and even now that they are Idols) and can go really crazy in the practice rooms. They are sometimes known as the "Crazy /Cray Couple"

» How you act around each other: As they got closer, they began to become more flirty and physically affectionate. There was always some sort of flirting since the beginning but it only really started after Hoseok gave Kari the winged hoodie. Kari always feels her heart skip when they dance and J-Hope comes up behind her or touches her. J-Hope gets flustered whenever she suddenly bursts into random dialect or does something crazily weird. And Hoseok gets especially flustered when he sees her wearing the hoodie.
» Who started to like who first: No one really knows who liked who first since their feelings towards each other kinda just grew. They won't admit that they like each other (J-Hope eventually confesses first saying in a convo "You like me anyway so what's wrong?" or something like that) but EVERYONE tease them about being a couple.

» Back-Up Love Interest: Suga (although more from Kari's end than Suga's cause she's just such a fangirl lol)
