When people first see her; "Seraphim's Jiliann is so rude." "Where are her manners?" Known for her -face and blunt honesty, she has garnered herself quite the character.
The key to her personality is that she is a free spirited. Conformation is her curse. Rules and regulations are made for other people. Restrictions will blow out the creative spark that is ready to flame into life. She must be free and uninhibited. She is a beautiful girl, colorful and flamboyant. An extroverted bundle of energy, gifted and utterly irrepressible, everything she does is on a grand scale, big ideas, ornate gestures, extreme ambitions. However, this behavior is natural and isn't meant for show. Because she is confident, fearless in the face of challenge, she is almost inevitably successful. She usually makes it to the top. However, she should be aware of her nature. Too much enthusiasm can leave her tired and unfulfilled. Even though she is willing to aid when necessary, her pride can often impede her from accepting the same kind of help from others.
Her generous personalities give her the ability to attract friends, but she can be rather solitary person at heart. Her self sufficiency can mean that she has no need for close bonds with other people. She takes thrilling risks and burns the candle at both ends so she is fortunate to be blessed with good health. Not the most domesticated, she is more content out and about rather than at home. Her originality is the most impressive and outstanding of all her characteristics. She is quite imaginative and always able to see new paths where others may run into brick walls. She is very adaptable and are fit for various occupations, especially if those occupations allow her to take the limelight. In any of these occupational situations, she will take a radical approach. She works hard, but would rather gives orders than receive them.
She is attracted by the bizarre. No self-respecting her desires to walk in a tourist's footsteps. Instead, she takes a lot of gratification in finding hidden destinations, or, closer to home, locations off the beaten track. She is a popular person, but because of her personalities, she seems to gather as much criticism as she does esteem. Due to her tumultuous temperaments, she is not the most sensitive friend to those in need of a shoulder to cry on. But she is also sentimental at heart. Those who truly know her knows she is a loving soul who will become your best ally in times of need. Once the dynamic her has given her friendship, she will not let her friends down and will never falter in her allegiance to her companions. To her, a friend is a friend for a lifetime. Incredibly honest, She is known for sincerity and is a trusting soul. Because of this honesty, she doesn't realize others may not demonstrate or uphold the same codes of ethics. Making the discovery that she placed her trust in someone who is dishonest makes her quite sad, yet much more perceptive for future encounters.
Negatively; she is egotistical and love to be the center of attention. Modesty is not one of her assets. Add to that the her temper and she has a bossy, dominating and authoritative being. She hates solicited advice and can be hopelessly tactless and insensitive to her lovers. People loves her so much because she generous, charismatic, irresistible, and so brave that standing beside her banishes fear. She generates excitement and turn heads anywhere she goes. She is free-spirited and impulsive and can help others achieve their dreams. Others love to be around her because she has a way of making people feel better. She is quick to fall in love, but does not surrender her independence easily leaving her to live life by herself. But once she becomes committed, she is unlikely to ever leave. It takes someone with thick skin who is easygoing to be her partner, because, despite her sentimental characters, she can be moody, and insensitive. Many people will want to run when her temper is provoked.
Onstage; Regarding her stage personality, she has this special love for limelight, and the desire to be admired and loved is very dominant in her character. She is good in being y, though a bit slack in aegyo. She will move in all directions to reach her destination, and this makes things possible for her that no other person around her can manage to pull off. This also increases her money making opportunities, and she might well make her way into large money-making project in the future. But she has an innate feeling of insecurity and timidity. She don't like to talk about her weakness or show anything bad about herself when the tape still rolling. Infront of the fans, she will usually gives loads of fanservices such as flying kisses and winks. In variety shows, she will be the her offstage truthfully. Around her members, she won't start any kind of skinship but she will just go along if her members backhug and leans on her shoulder. Around seniors, she mixes well and show no sign of awkwardness..this may seems like a good thing but it isn't as some of the seniors find her as no respect and full of herself. Around guys, she actually click with guys better than with girls at the first meeting. Different in expressing herself, different in terms of what she feels is rude or not. She has displayed her blunt honesty multiple times on television, and her curt responses usually instigate a variety of responses for example. In any case though, whether its her “princess disease” image or not, she has created a strong character for herself.
She was born on April 11, 1993 in California, United States. She is the only child in her family. Her family moved a lot, this is because of her father's job, a former soldier in the U.S. Armed Forces in Korea. But whenever people ask where did she grown up, she will say Japan is her hometown, since she was raised there the longest. She is a half Korean, through her mother's side and through her father, she is of Puerto Rican- Korean descent. That's explain why her look is more to Korean. She is really close with both of her parent. Growing up, sometimes she do feel like a freak, because she is a mixed unlike almost all the other kids around her but her parent taught her to ignore others' look and focus on herself. The family moved to Japan when she was six months old, then moving back to Korea when she was 6 years old.
She got scouted by an acting agency, Omnibus at a young age. Originally, she debuted in the media industry at the age of 8 as an English tutor on children TV shows, in channels Arirang TV and KBS. She stopped her carreer in Korea for prior to her moving to Japan. That was after 3 years in Korea, and all of that time her family stayed in army units. She often went to the Kyoto Music Centre with her school friends after school. It is a place where teenage bands and even dancing groups do performances. It is a small stage for the youngsters who inspired to be idols in Kyoto, a place where they will hang out and perform. She was inspired to be a performer too, a singer. Watching people dancing and singing, she always admiring a good performer and thinks those people are cool. They went back to Seoul after her father retired when she was 15. Shortly after her comeback to Korea, at the age of 16, she was contact by her old acting agency and joined them again. She officially entered the entertainment industry again in 2008 by acting in minor roles in dramas. She then starred in the Omnibus film "Romantic Heaven" as the supporting role but her big break did not come yet. She was in the 2011 Korean TV drama series "High Kick: Revenge of the Short Legged", in which she played Chae Jiyeon. She auditioned for CUBE latter in 2011 and got accepted. In 2012, she was in BEAST's "I Knew It" as the lead female.
She was one of the most popular trainee I must add. Ilhoon and Sohyun, both are friends and mentors of her that always give advices to her. When she auditioned and got accepted by CUBE, her family and best friend supported her. She had taken hiatus from her acting activities during trainee years. She stopped acting for those time being. During trainee years she received further training in dancing, singing, rapping and the Korean language. She couldn't converse with all the new people she met well, due to not being able to speak the language as fluently, and she didn't know what to eat, the dorminotary food is more like a goat's food. There was not much foreign trainees there and foreigners usually got bullied including her, but nothing really major happened except for the numerous haters she gained during training. She's pretty but her personality is sometimes unlikable. Since she's a bit of strong character, many trainees thought of her as y. Trainee years was also hard for her because she got to live her life everyday with the same boring shcedule with sweat and blood.
She was not good in rapping and singing as she thought, especially bad in Korean and was given extra classes for that. Just going to be totally honest here her voice isn't very attractive. Neither anyone has a thing for nasally high voices. Her range is limited to easy notes, she can't hit high octaves decently. Her vocalization can sound really awkward sometimes and the breathtaking effect that should be left is disturbed. She wanted to give up several times. She cried everyday for the first two weeks she was in training, but decided to work hard even though she wanted to go back home, to show to her family that she isn't that spoiled, she isn't a pretty face with zero talent. The one thing that CUBE do notice though is her emotion when dancing. Year by year she had improved her singing skills too. She came in 2nd place at the 6th CUBE Best Dancer Contest.
