PERSONALITY:  
   ✿ 
  First of all, So Eun is a perfectionist. It was a trait that she developed due to living under high pressure for most of her life, for that she is always concentrated to achieve goals. She was always expected to get perfect scores or A+ in her homeworks and tests because her sister did so too when she was younger. Those high expectations made her set rigid standards for herself. Standards that she needed to achieve so as to avoid personal failure and make herself look like a fool. She is self critical and puts herself in a bad mood if she did something that is not up to the standard she set. During her first year in the UK, she even got a mild depression because she kept thinking about the mistakes she made. Her criticisms are only on herself, she isn't judgemental or critical on others. It doesn't really matter to her if they do well or not, just as long as it doesnt involve her or affect her. If it's something that is affecting her, like teamwork, she will make others work on it with her until it is "perfect" or meets her standards. Her perfectionism has made her persistent.  Although she easily becomes sad when she fails, she becomes really optimistic when met with success. It's like nothing can stop her (except when keeps failing in a short period of time), she becomes aspiring and her self confidence increases.
 So Eun has the heart of gold. She is the female version of all the Mr. Nice Guys out there. Always helping out when anyone needs her, or even when they don't, she just likes to offer her help. Basically the "Yes Man", she can hardly refuse someone when they ask for help. For that, she gives herself minimal attention to help or please others. Often is she manipulated by the people she helps because they think she will always be there to help them. Technically she is, but it makes others take her for granted. She once rejected someone when they asked for help and they immediately thought ill of her, saying that she only thinks about herself.She is also humble to the max. She doesn't feel that she herself has accomplished anything important in her life. With that being said, she feels there isn't a need for to stand out because of that very reason. She would rather have people lead her instead of her leading others.  But it doesn't mean that she won't take the lead if she has to. 

  The thing about So Eun is that she wants to be loved by everyone, maybe it was because due to the lack of attention given to her at home. Most of the times, she puts a lot of effort into being friends with people, she shares a lot of her feelings to them and tries to become their "best friend". Often, people don't really care about her or don't really want to become close friends with her. She gives it her all, but some people just aren't meant to be and she tries to push through clearly knowing that it's not going to work. She's stubborn in that kind of way. She'll pretend to not know that they don't like her and just keep on going trying to become close friends with them. She's also naive in the point that she thinks everything will work out with persistence. However, it does get to the point when she feels hurt because she'll hear others talking behind her back, still she doesn't stop trying to be good friends with them.    

  So Eun can be playful since she loves games and temporarily puts down her image. She always got into trouble when she was younger because of her love to pull little pranks on people which are typically free of malice. She always got into trouble when she was younger because of her inability to talk her way out. Right now, she wriggle free of almost any situation with her smooth talking. The reason she plays pranks on other people is mainly caused by her insecurity. She wants to be loved and fears being hated. She wants them to remember her a fun and bright person. However, she can be a bit competitive with games of any sort. She likes to win and everyone who is close to her knows it. She tries over and over again until she wins. The only game she basically gives up on is sports that involve running, she's going to give up before it even starts because she is a slow runner.

Despite all that, So Eun has a temper. It only shows when the cameras are off and she's alone. She'll be really polite and respectful to everyone and when she goes back to her room with something bothering her, she'll be really upset to the point that she wrestles the pillows on her bed. Sometimes, she'll cuss too. She never cusses usually because she never really liked it, but there are times when she just can't hold it in and explodes when she is super angry. Please don't come near her room when she's angry, it's not going to be a pretty sight. She likes to drink so as to relieve her anger or stress. When she's sad, she's the type to let it out to her stuff toy. She refrains telling her feelings to others as she doesn't want to burden them. Despite that, she likes it when others open up to her, it feels as though she's becoming closer to them. The funny thing about her is that although she wants to be everyone's best friend, she can never bring herself to fully trust others (except for friendships that have been built through a long period of time). That is why she'd rather keep most of her feelings to herself. Of course, she'd tell her best friends what is bothering her, but what's often told isn't the whole picture, just the a small part of it. What made her this way is her sister and because of it So Eun only forgives but never forgets.

So Eun is actually stubborn and can be inflexible. Because she is a perfectionist, she believes that everything should go well according to her plan. If anything should not follow any of her plans, she isn't all that great at making it work. She will not be able to think straight for a moment and will panic until someone else steps in and makes things smoother. In other words, she's not too great at improvising, everything needs to be planned beforehand. She's the type who is not going to listen to you unless you have done a whole lot of research and have proof to back yourself up. Or else, your words will just get ignored. This part of her can really annoy people because she can be so hardheaded. To her, it perfectly makes sense for people to have legit proof or facts to be able to convince her.

  The image Star Empire gave her was the "Alluring Rose" because she looks like strong and elegant. Star Empire mostly sees here "perfectionist" side, so they gave her that title. They have yet to see her flaws. On stage, she's the one who will be last to leave thanking the fans for their support because she's basically nothing without them. She'll also try to be confident when she's on stage, even though she's actually worried about what's going to go wrong inside. When a mistake does happen, she brushes it off on stage, but reflects on it when she goes back. She's the type to show only her good side to the public, by good side meaning that everything she does is "perfect", to the point that some people feel that she is pretentious. When she is on variety shows, she is willing to do anything so that their group can get recognition from the public, she'll try to keep her image as close to her persona as possible.
  To her, she likes to keep her life as an idol separate from her private life. When not on a schedule, she'll answer that she's not  if they asked if she is Demi. Her answer is that she is just So Eun. She still signs autographs or take pictures with fans, however she'll try to do it as quiet as possible, she doesn't want to draw too much attention when she's not at work.

BACKGROUND: 
   ✿   So Eun was born to Jeo In Pyo and Lee So Ji in 1991, she is 4 years younger than her older sister, Hyo Eun. Growing up, So Eun felt like an outsider to the family. After all, she has an older sister who did well in everything and she was just "alright". Her sister is the perfect "mom's friend's daughter", she was pretty, smart and was good at everything. Except that Hyo Eun was not her mom's friend's daughter, but in fact her own sister. Seo Eun grew up under a lot of pressure, where everything she did had to be "perfect" or at least on par with her sister's level. It became second nature to her to push herself to do well, so that it meets the "standards". She was quite lonely as a child, her parents didn't really pay much attention to her and gave most of the attention to Hyo Eun. As much as everyone thought they would get along well, they actually don't. So Eun used to tell her sister everything she felt, like feeling unhappy or pressured, and Hyo Eun told it to their parents when it was supposed to be a secret for just the two of them. So, So Eun became more reluctant to talk to Hyo Eun about her thoughts.
  When So Eun was 8, Hyo Eun told their parents that she wanted to go abroad for studying because she wanted to be better in English like the foreigners in her school. Being the parents they are, they were worried about Hyo Eun and what would happen to her if she went to the UK alone, so the whole family moved to there. So Eun caught up with the language in school, she did well with conversing in English. However, she wasn't able to cope well with her studies because there was a sudden change in the language, not to mention every subject was in English ( a language she was just doing so-so when she was in Korea) and there was just so much English that she felt really tired just by looking at the words. Being the perfectionist she was, she was really hard on herself for not doing well and it often led to making her feel depressed. At school, she had friends, but she also experienced bullying from the more popular kids because she was the new one who did badly in most of the subjects and also for the fact that she was Asian. Her parents nor her sister knew nothing about the bullying at school, all they know was that she did poorly in her tests that they often scolded her for not studying hard like her sister. The bullying subsided when she got into another class after getting better grades in exams. Her depression went away after that as she was finally back on track.
    When So Eun was 14, she and her family came back to Korea as Hyo Eun said she wanted to go study at a Korean university. So Eun chose to study at an international school after coming back. She wasn't very good at reading Korean anymore, so being at an international school helped because the subjects were in simpler English and Korean. Not long after coming back, she met a kid around the same age as her named Kim Jong Hyun. He was older than her by a year and happened to live next door. Instead of being awkward with each other, Jonghyun's friendly nature allowed the two of them to become good friends in a snap. She often went to his home to play video games with him and his sister and went back home when it was time for dinner. It was not like her parents cared a lot about where she went anyway, just as long as she came back for dinner and everything was fine. He told her he was going to become a singer and wanted to audition. Every week they would sing songs, he practiced while she sang to her heart's content. One day, Jonghyun told her that he was an official trainee at an agency. Soon, he moved out of the building because he had to live in the dorm that the company provided. They pretty much lost contact after that for he wasn't allowed to go home or have a phone in possession.
   When So Eun was 16, she joined a weekly singing competition in Dongdaemun just to try it out. She was so nervous that she sang the wrong lyrics to the chorus, no one seemed to notice her mistake because she was so into the song. She didn't win anything of course, she was just an amateur. After the competition, a man in a suit approached her, she evaded him and quietly walked away. The strange man in the suit persisted and she ran as fast as she could. Half an hour of running, the man finally caught up to her, persuaded and casted her.
  After 5 years at SM, she thought she was going to debut, however they pulled her out during the final line up. She felt that she was getting nowhere and never going to get a debut while she was in SM, so she went to Star Empire instead. Then she's get a better chance at debuting as a singer.

LOVE INTEREST:  Lee Jinki (Onew)
BIRTHDATE + AGE:  14 December, 1989, 24
GROUP:  Shinee
PERSONALITY:  
   ✿  He comes off as the goofy and cheerful leader of Shinee. Once the camera is not in sight, he is more of a quiet person who likes to sleep and watch TV in the dorm. He is incredibly polite and respectful to every person he meets, bowing everytime he sees them. He can be quite clumsy and seldom trips or hurts himself accidentally. The "Onew Condition" is real though. His accidents aren't deliberate. He sometimes just comments at the wrong time and makes the atmosphere drop below freezing. However, there are times he can also be funny. He is always thinking of jokes (lame) and punchlines to make others crack up and smile. 
    He is caring and a good listener. Being the eldest in Shinee, he feels he has the burden to take care of his donsaengs and lead them well. They all come to him for advice and talk to him, he just listens and gently leads them without forcing them to make rash decisions. Because of the burden of being a leader, he rarely opened up about his own feelings before, not wanting to disturb others. But now, he sometimes talks to s and asks them for advice. 
    He is the type of person who hides his pain and problems for he doesn't want to burden others. He usually puts a big smile on his face to cover up. 
    
He can be shy around girls. Despite being shy, he wants to lead a relationship like a real man and prefers to be the one to initiate the dates. He is also shy about physical contact with the girl he likes. 
    He hates it when a girl cusses, no matter how beautiful or smart she is. For him, it's alright when the girl cheats on him, but he absolutely doesn't like it when a girl cusses. He allows cheating as much as three times. Why would such someone allow that? He's realistic, he knows that as an idol, it is easy to feel distant with the partner and develop feelings for another. So he forgives and forgets. Of course, he has dated some idols in the past, but still doesn't feel secure around them. It takes him time to open up his heart and when he does he knows how to occupy someone's heart.

HOW YOU MET:  
   ✿ They met not long after Shinee had debuted. Their manager introduced them to a bunch of trainees who were in a practicing room, telling the trainees that they should learn from the sunbaes. At that time, So Eun was having a hard time practicing the song "Hello" by Lionel Richie, she felt that her feelings hadn't gone through the way she wanted it to go. Onew at that time came to her and gave her some tips as it was a song that he often practiced when he was also a trainee. 
Soon, So Eun asked Jonghyun about how she sang. He told her it would be better for Onew to tell her that since he's more familiar with the song than he is. Onew came and again gave her some tips. After Jonghyun left, she was eager to make friends with him. Although he was shy, they did become friends.
INTERACTIONS:  It took Onew some time to warm up to So Eun since he can be quite an introvert. The two of them feel comfortable around each other and call each other by their real names instead of their stage names. Basically, So Eun treats Onew the way she treats Jonghyun. She initiates physical contact with him like ruffling his hair or poking his cheek. He gets shy, but gets used to her doing that and he later finds himself doing the same thing to her. Though Onew is quiet off screen, he finds himself more talkative around her. She pranks Onew whether he likes it or not, and sometimes he honestly gets irritated and doesn't talk as much. He usually just brushes it off with a big laugh. If she notices that he is upset, So Eun will try to apologize by treating him chicken and beer. Since both of them have good alcohol tolerance, sometimes the other gets drunk before the other and they get to see interesting sights about each other. Onew also like to throw his lame jokes at her at the most unexpected times, They also like to watch the anime One Piece together to learn Japanese, along with other Shinee members.

As a sunbae, Onew likes to teach her how not everything has to be and will be perfect. He knows that she can be stubborn with perfection, so he tries to be as gently leads her to the direction he wants without being confrontational. So Eun learns a lot from him and looks up to him as to how he can be such a respectful and humble person. Onew also teaches her how to play the piano after her constant bugging. 

They don't see each other often now since So Eun changed companies. Keeping in contact with each other has been quite hard too since he's busy with Shinee and she's busy with training. They haven't seen each other in person for a year already.

TRAINEE YEARS:5 years at SM, 1 year and 2 months at Star Empire
TRAINEE LIFE: Trainee life was tough on So Eun. She isn't particularly good at dancing and someone was always better than her in singing. Her perfectionist  character made her push harder, she wanted to be good at everything like her sister. Obviously it didn't work out that well. It was a bit better because she finally reconciled with her childhood friend Jonghyun who became a trainee earlier than her. He often helped her out with singing and dancing.  She gradually became better in dancing in a few years. IT became her best skill. 
A few years of being admitted as a trainee, she found out that Choi Minho took the same major as her in college. They became friends after he came to know of her status as a trainee. He taught her some raps for fun, she isn't very good at it though because she can't speak really fast.
  She left SM and got into Star Empire instead, she still hasn't become attached to anyone at Star Empire, but she is training hard.

HOW YOU GOT IN: When So Eun was 16, she joined a weekly singing competition in Dongdaemun just to try it out. She was so nervous that she sang the wrong lyrics to the chorus, no one seemed to notice her mistake because she was so into the song. She didn't win anything of course, she was just an amateur. After the competition, a man in a suit approached her, she evaded him and quietly walked away. The strange man in the suit persisted and she ran as fast as she could. Half an hour of running, the man finally caught up to her, persuaded and casted her. True story of how she got casted by an SM manager. 
A few years of training at SM, she was supposed to debut in their latest girl group, but SM decided not to include her in the lineup, she decided to change to Star Empire instead. For one month of leaving SM, no company actually wanted to take her in because they didn't find her voice appealing. Later, Star Empire had accepted her and focused more on her dancing than singing.
