Appearance: One of the tallest member! The one with gorgeous body where other members get jealous over her! She’s known to be “Shikshin” in english means she eats lot, like  A LOT!! The thing is, even though she eats a lot, she is one of the skinniest body in the group. She also don’t know why. She has a pair of ear piercing. Slender leg-beauty and small face, neat figure of the feature on the face… She owns all of these things. Owning a model-body, she has gained her self-image as she wears every perfect clothes. She has done a nose job when she was in elementary school. The reason is she fell from a stair and broke her nose. Her nose used to be nothing special but now it's one of her favorite body part if she REALLY need to choose.

Style: She, whose leg is beautiful-slender, usually wear the skinny jean which point out her strong points. She wears the trouser that grasps the eyes with its color and style. Instead of the trouser that has neither color nor style, she uses the one on which the detail and point are covered. She usually puts on the skit that is flavored with a plentiful design in order to hide her slim upper-body. What’s more, about the dress, she chooses the one with an elegant decoration which helps cover up her skinny body. In the accompany with this costume, she wear the shortest pant because she want to show off her long and slim leg-beauty. During the group’s oversea performance, she usually come up with the variety of airport fashion. At this time, she attracts the people's attention through her preparation of the fashion which is not shaggy or untidy. She directs the chic and elegant style by wearing blackly. Whenever she wears the luxurious black boot, it always matches to her black jacket and fir. Even she uses the casual clothing, she remains her own style which is full of elegance and masterpiece.

Personality Traits:
:: positive → bighearted, generous, sensitive to others' feelings, affectionate, well organized, impeccable bravery
:: negative → forceful, aristocratic, aggressiveness, boastful, haughty, pride.

Personality Para. Form:
The cover; Sometimes, she just doesn’t get on others good side. Sometimes, she seems like she’s trying a little too hard to make herself seem likable.

The plus; She can be described using one metaphor, the sun. She wants to be a sun giving out light and warmth to the whole world, and to see everyone in her circle thriving in or at least benefitting from her radiance. And just like a queen, she has a big heart, she is generous and sensitive to others’ feelings. This trait of hers sometimes borders on bossiness. But all this effort to improve another person’s life comes with an unnatural amount of warmth, kindly encouragement and a promise for help without having to ask, whenever it is needed. In friendship, she is very generous and caring, but may also get a little carried away and showers her affection on the wrong person. The same happens in case of love interest, but if the other person is the right one, he will find no derth of kindness and generosity. She innately want to lead and be a master, but for those she adore and revere, she is ready to become slaves. She is very well organized and do things just the way she ought to be done, but it is also true that she is much better at organizing and systematizing others’ lives than their own. She is the leader of her own world; she exhibits impeccable bravery, superiority and sovereignty. She is expected to achieve extraordinary feats. She has the strength of character to take command of any situation and her presence commands respect and attention.

The minus; She is quite egotistical and it’s quite easy to flatter and take advantage of her. At the same time, she tends to be quite self-congratulatory and boastful and at the same time dominating, courting resentment from her peers. She is all about ambition and compassion; and at the same time headstrong and a little corrupted by power. But it equally characteristic of her to be contemplative and moody, especially when she is with herself. She can get into deep depressions, but the only answer to this problem is self-control, hard work and paying heed to others’ counsel. And she is also in quite a bit of luck, but being a little imprudent, it would be ill-advised for her to try her hand at speculation. She can also be influenced very easily, and is prone to losing out against nagging criticism. She therefore has a great need to be encouraged and shown the right way. She shows her ambitious and sensitive character with her relationships with the opposite . She is a very passionate and very faithful partner, but the problem is her extremely sensitive nature. And this sensitivity is on most occasions eclipsed by her influential and bossy exterior. So it’s quite possible that her partner may have hurt her in something he says without her even realizing it.

The stage; People have a bit of a problem with her personality. On one hand, she seems to exhibit the “perfect” imperfect character. She’s kind, charming, uber-friendly and faithful. Her hyper tendencies and optimistic charming nature lead many to call her the brightest member. She has this totally open, carefree vibe around herself. Hardly have others ever met a person, as dazzling and happy as her in real life whom is actually that way. Most people that put up a happy front usually aren’t as gleeful in real life, and this feeling is so nagging whenever others see her on a variety show, or holding an interview.

Background:
She never knew who her father was. Her mother was acting as if he was already dead, maybe he was. All she knew was that her father married her mother not because he loved her; he loved her money and popularity as a cardiologist. Once her mother knew this and turned out her father also had an affair, she immediately erased him from her and her unborn baby’s life. Until this very day of her twenty one years’ life, she never knows where her father is. Born into a wealthy family made her never experience shortages. She didn’t have to work so she could eat and everything she ever wanted would be served in front of her, thanks to her mother. If there’s something she wanted but never got, it is love.  That’s right, her mother, as her one and only family she has, loves her, but it didn’t help when the woman was treating her like a robot. Her mother is a perfectionist woman, therefore she demanded perfection from her only child. She trained Minnie to defense herself, mentally and physically. She taught her so she could take care of herself if she was outside. Not only that, she wanted a perfect score from school. Minnie could never escape from punishment if she headed home with a bad result.

At elementary school, she was considered to be really pretty and since she had nice clothes everybody wanted to be friend with her.  As she went on to middle school, girls started to get jealous and she was bullied a little. Instead of being a victim, she decided she was going to be stronger and never let anyone else touch a hair on her head. She was sometimes rude with people. It pleased her thought, and she chose to stay that way. In 2006, SM, an entertainment agency based in South Korea, recruited Minnie after seeing her performing on a SBS's television program, "Truth Game". She performed on the program by chance when the crew filmed at her middle school. Her performance is "acting". Acting is something that she truly love doing, something that her mother disapproved. She ran away from her house when she was 13 just to be a trainee. Her mother never made any effort to search for her when she ran away, she knew that Minnie in her best friend's house because the best friend's mother met her personally. During high schoool, however, everything seemed to get together as she made friends, became nice with everybody and participated in talent show, demonstrating her acting skills. But since elementary school till high school, it was always hard when she have to explain why she was living with her mother only, without father to her school friends.

In October 2011, it was confirmed that she has been accepted at Chung Ang University's Institute of the Arts as theater majors through a special rolling admissions screening process. Now she stays in dorm with other trainees before her official debut while attending Chung Ang University. She lived with her best friend before moving into dorm when she was old enough. Her relation with mother still stiff and she barely contact her.

Family:

Father| Choi Taeseok | 45 | Professional photographer | By glance, Minnie and Taeseok share no similarity but their smiles. She never meet him tho, only through his old photos. So interaction between them are zero.

Mother | Han Eunjung | 43 | Well known cardiologist | It’s true that Minnie was always obeying Eunjung in public nor at home. But that doesn't increases Eunjung’s affection to Minnie, she is cold. As a mother she supposed to show her love, she supposed to be there to make sure that she takes a good care of her daughter, even  kept up with her immaturity. But she is not, she treats her like a robot. She also demands perfection and when it is not achieved, punishment awaits.

 

Trainee Life: As a trainee, Minnie stood out for her great acting skills and lack of performance skills. Her much more husky and deep voice provides amazing contrast to the other girls in the group, whom have more delicate and softer tones. One of the thing she lacks in is control. She falters a bit live and dancing, and even when she’s solely singing, you can hear her struggle to reach her notes. She would practice hard and teachers would be particularly tough on her to make her improve. Some trainees didn't like how she was accepted for her face and model body, as if SM is an acting academy, as if she lower their bar of standard. But they never took action against her because they thought that with her performance skills, she was no real threat to them. Just to be able to shut them up, Minnie aking help in the form of private lessons from other trainee friends and she quickly become better. She even posponed university to concentrate on training, Then, she came back stronger, better although not that better and they acknwoleged her somehow. She had performance talent, but never developped it and never felt the need to. Overall, her trainee years was hard as she was out from her mother's wealthy cage but she didn't gave up although the thought of it came to her few times.

Love Interest: Choi Minho

Personality:
Flaming charisma? Throw the idea out the window. He is the NO.1 JOKESTER and is practically bouncing off the walls at all times. He feel caged up because of the charismatic image SM gave him.  The desire to win is real stuff. He is very competitive and can get quite agressive when he wants something, which brings us to the problems. He has a tendency to want to control every situation brought to him. He often breaks down emotionally and psychologically if he fails. He’s very extroverted and fools around a whole lot, had a lot of friends in the entertainment. However he sticks to the rules.

Overall, a very mature, model student to the adults and a crazy dude with the kids. Honestly, flaming charisma, kiss that goodbye. Does not exist. Choi Minho is an insanely vivacious guy. He’s a natural seducer. He is open and will help anyone but he’s not open about when it comes to love. He hardlyly falls in love, not wanting to open his heart for worries someone might break it.

How Did They Meet:
That night, Minho went out to the street, strolling around without any plan. He kept looking around, searching for something to do, to unleashes his boredom. His hope vanished in an instant when he saw Minnie walked by and trying to cross the street hurriedly without looking right and left. Like a crazy person, Minho ran towards her in the speed of light. Perfect timing, as about a car was close enough to hit her, Minho pulled her away and embraced her.

Then,  he let go his arms. “Sorry,” He said while looking at her, in the eyes.

Minnie bowed and smile awkwardly. “Thanks, you saved my life.”

Minho smiled in relief. “That was nothing. Are you hurt?”

“I’m fine. Are you free at the moment?I want to pay you back.”

“No need for that actually” Minho stopped his word and scratched the back of his head.

From the very beginning Minnie has made a strong impression on Minnie, as he saved her life on their first met. They became friend quite quickly later during their other lucky meetings in SM. Yeah, they were both haven't debuted at that time.

Relationship: Friends. Almost lover but not yet lover.
