↳ Soomin is arguably the most complex of all her band members, so there are seemingly many contradictions in her personality until you look close enough to see the layers. Soomin can be very confident. She has no problem interacting with people right away, and she has a way of rolling with the interviewers even at times people find themselves cringing of second hand embarrassment from the off-topic questions. She, on the other hand, manages to brush things off as jokes if she doesn’t want to discuss it or answer them, with an ease that is admirable. She is always with a attitude that screams ‘think what you want of me, I don’t even care’. She also seems more than comfortable with going out on her own, or spending time by herself. This suggests not only a ease with getting along with anyone she meets, but a self assuredness that she can enjoy what she’s doing on her own - and that’s a sign of maturity. In the same way, however, Soomin can sometimes be very insecure.. She has a very visible outward confidence and she has an ability to charm people in both a friendly and flirty way and I don’t think she’s shy in the slightest. But, she has a lot of “am I good enough” moments. We can see it almost everyday if we spend a lot of time with her, in the way that in every interview when she’s talking she almost always looks to the other members as though she’s seeking confirmation that what she is saying is alright. She seems like she needs someone there telling her “yes you’re right, you’re ok”. So, because of that, insecurity would make her need to be surrounded by affectionate people that can reaffirm the fact that she’s not going to be left alone and that she IS good enough. People find  interesting that a majority of her friends are boys. I personally don’t think it has anything to do with the fact that she is afraid of being friends with a girl!  I think it has more to do with the fact that boys are typically more openly affectionate with their friends, so they would offer more hugs and “I love you’s” and more deep and personal conversations, which is what she needs to feel connected and important and just needed.
 

She seems very ready to be an adult; especially in the emotional sense. In a lot of ways though, Soomin seems to be dominated by these emotions. She is very impulsive, she seems to have a tendency to act upon her initial emotional response. In multiple occasions we can see  her giving in to sadness, jealousy (in getting almost moody when a certain member’s attention is off of her and onto someone else) and many times crying on stage. Soomin is  someone who is not afraid to recognize her emotions and isn’t one to try to hide them or force them down. She’s  easy to read; she wears her emotions on her sleeve clear and open for anyone who takes the time to notice them. She is also very empathetic, she is able to identify her own emotions and  can also easily identify those emotions in other people. In the same way she responds really well to what people need in the moment, and it’s this ability, which I think is part of why people so easily grow fond of her,  the strong ability to empathize, is typical among people who are comfortable with children because they are able to respond to the child’s inability to vocalize what they need, and she can do that, since she deals with a lot of baby cousins in the family. On a slightly negative side, her impulsive tendency to react to emotions can also get her into trouble, because I think she wouldn’t shy away from calling someone out when she was angry, or at least failing to disguise her anger, or upset etc. On another negative note, it can make her  very vulnerable to conflict because sometimes she seems to lack the ability to understand why people don’t think the way she does and see things the way she does. Soomin doesn’t  like to be in charge. It makes her feel closer to people if they are the ones demanding something of her, and her being able to give to!  It gives her  the security and feeling that she has made them happy. In this way I believe this reflects once again to her ultimate desire to feel needed and wanted and why she admits to being attracted to confidence. It’s impossible to overlook the fact that Soomin simply has that “it” factor. There isn’t much to say on the topic, because it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what about her it is that draws people to her the way that she does. And yet it’s pretty hard to dispute the idea that she seems to be the crowd favorite and in a lot of ways I don’t think you can narrow it down to one or two characteristics. She’s Jo Soomin - a normal person who is just good at being famous, whether she intends to be or not.

↳ Jo Soomin was born and raised in Incheon, South Korea into a typical Korean family. Her parents both had successful jobs so money never was a problem for them. Growing up, Soomin had a fairly normal childhood. She is the oldest in the family, having three younger brothers, two of them are twins (known as "The Jo Twins", from the boygroup Boyfriend). She is not the best example to explain how asians are always smart, because her journey when it comes to school is not the best. She never liked to study and it was a shock to her parents. She was just a girl that had average grades, she couldn't become a doctor or have another awesome job with those grades. Soomin reportedly learned guitar in the eighth grade. In her last year of junior high, Jo Soomin learned both classic guitar and how to play the piano. She graduated from Seoul of Performing Arts majoring in Singing. She was a Superstar K2 contestant, finishing in second place.  After initial success with Superstar K2, CEO Yang Hyun Suk signed Soomin to YG Entertainment on January 12, 2010. Soomin was 15 years old. She was enrolled in dance and acting classes, including modeling classes as well. Her journey as an artist was already big before debut, and it became even bigger with her role in the drama "I Hear your Voice" as the young Hyesung, a supporting role. After 1 year of training under YG Entertainment, the young girl moved to SM Entertainment where she finally debuted with Liaisons in 2014.

You know how vanilla ice cream is sweet and simple yet popular enough that everyone likes it? That’s how you can describe Lu Han. He likes to keep to himself and when people try talking to him he occasionally will shy away from them because he had built a shell around himself, although he has a shy personality he does have the occasional times where he’d have the soft burst of confidence and he’ll go up to someone and introduce himself to get to know them and make friends. His social skills aren’t the best and occasionally he might just seem so meek it’s a bit off putting and annoying which he doesn’t try to be, he just has her fear of someone trying to hurt him that he’s scared of the most. When he is on stage, his personality changes drastically, he becomes y, not afraid to follow the music.

When people see LuHan and Soomin together they will probably say something like ‘oh my God, what a cute couple’, however they are not! When they are together they are like the cat and the mouse, she keeps teasing him while he does the same. Constantly calling Soomin a short pig, Lu Han knows how to get on her nerves, either by doing nasty comments or stealing innocent kisses from her lips from time to time and then run away. Apart from being always fighting, they know how to protect each other with everything they have. If there’s something that Lu Hn loves more than music and family, it must be Soomin. They know each other as they know the back of their hands.
