 style  : yoora is not picky when it comes to clothes, but she loves to wear simple yet comfortable dresses. she also likes blouses and skirts, and has a preference for vintage, beachy and casual styles. she's really okay with anything and everything as long as they're modest and easy to wear. she isn't a fan of high heels, but she doesn't mind wearing them. yoora likes cool colors such as blue, purple and green. she sometimes wears accesories, but she tries not to go overboard with her dressing up.

 quote  : bears are seriously adorable!

 traits  : curious, sympathetic, unbiased, dishonest, clingy, complacent
 personality  : yoora resembles very much like a naive child who is curious about everything and anything. she asks a lot of strange questions like how the earth is created, and tries to find answers to her doubts. however, she loses her interest very quickly, which is the reason why she never manages to find answers for most of her questions. she is able to sympathize with other people, especially the elderly. hence, she finds time to help out at various elderly homes and even give some of her toys away. she treats the elderly people like her very own grandparents.

she is also unbiased and doesn't judge people for what they seem to be. she'd rather get to know them first and make her own judgment, but she isn't really great at judging people. the biggest argument that she has with her friends is just friendly bickering, nothing more. it can be said that she forgives and forgets easily. she doesn't like to face rejection and can resort to lying to get what she wants, but she also lies about her opinions as she doesn't want to hurt anyone emotionally due to her words. no matter what people ask her about her opinion of something, she'll always say that it's good.

SHE CAN GET PRETTY COMPLACENT WHENEVER SHE ACHIEVES SOMETHING, OFTEN SLACKING OUT LATER ON. yoora depends on people a lot emotionally and is clingy in a way. some people find her annoying because she tends to overreact even to the smallest matters. all in all, she tries not to worry too much, but she is still sensitive towards many things.

 family background  : her father passed away when she was four, so she only has her mother. her favorite stuffed bear, ted-chan, is the last gift her father left for her before he died. yoora's mother is not very wealthy, but she tries to give her daughter everything and buys her many stuffed toys. yoora likes to study and is considered the genius in her class. she doesn't have many friends, but she is okay because she prefers to be alone. she taught herself japanese as she is interested in japan's culture, and hopes to go on a vacation with her mother to okinawa one day.

 career history  : SHE USED TO CRY ALL DAY LONG AS WHENEVER SHE REVEALS HER SECRET SIDE TO OTHERS, THEY WILL FIND HER AN ODDBALL AND JUST IGNORE HER. HER MOTHER IS A SINGER, AND SHE USED TO SING LULLABIES TO YOORA, AND AFTER YOORA'S TEENAGE YEARS PASSED, SHE NO LONGER SHEDS A TEAR AS SHE FINDS IT REALLY TIRING TO CRY. YOORA LOVES HER MOTHER'S SONGS, AND SHE LISTENS TO HER ALBUMS EVERYDAY. SHE WILL THEN SING ALONG, AND SHE ESPECIALLY ENJOYS SINGING BALLAD SONGS. HER MOTHER WOULD TAKE SOME TIME OF HER SCHEDULE TO SING WITH HER TOO, AND THAT'S WHEN YOORA DEVELOPS A PASSION FOR SINGING.

she starts applying to several companies, and she manages to get into one company. although she is a bit upset that she has to leave her hometown, her mother told her not to worry and that she should go and pursue her dreams. yoora started training intensively and managed to debut in two years as a soloist. her introverted personality does become a problem when she goes on variety shows, but nevertheless, she tries her best to entertain the viewers.

 friends  : 

yoon miran : 19 : 10 : their relationship is pretty strange. miran behaves very much like a child, always using her killer aegyo to get what she wants. as a result, yoora always acts like a mother to her and keeps her out of trouble. however, to yoora, miran is like a second mother that she can rely on emotionally, and is probably the only person that really accepts yoora. they have a mother-daughter relationship and rarely do they bicker despite their contradicting personalities. miran, however, tries to avoid skinshop with yoora even though she is known to be the skinship princess. it is due to the terrifying fact that yoora finds her cuddly, and often hugs her with 'power', nearly cutting the air entering her lungs as yoora does so.

 likes  :
-toys: she thinks that they are her only source of comfort other than her mother and best friend, which can be referred from the background.
-ballad songs: she feels at ease whenever she listens to them, and finds their melodies very soothing.
-animals and children: she thinks that they are absolutely adorable, and that she has the need to take care of them.
-water: as strange as it sounds, she likes the plain yet fresh taste of water.

 dislikes  :
-harsh truth: she'd rather sugarcoat things than face reality due to her sensitive nature.
-clowns: she thinks that they apply way too much makeup and that they look very scary.
-noise: she needs peace and quiet to think and observe.
-fizzy drinks: she finds the taste revolting, and whenever she drinks such drinks, her stomach will always feel uncomfortable.

 misc.  :
-yoora is a very bad liar, but she lies anyway which can be referred from dislikes.
-she is really flexible but she is horrible at dancing. she just doesn't have the natural talent to be able to dance freely, and she follows the choreography too tightly.

 HABITS  :
-sometimes, she will sleepwalk while holding on to her stuffed bear
-she likes to stare at her nails.

 name  : do kyungsoo
 group  : EXO
 PERSONALITY  : He is very calm and relaxed and doesn't worry too much about things. he, like yoora, doesn't like to talk much and prefers to observe instead. however, he is dorky and sometimes does very silly actions. most people can't really understand his bizarre personality but he does get along with some people. he is reliable most of the time and even though he is somewhat bipolar, his friends still love him mainly because he is adorable. well, also because he cooks well and they can get free food from him.

he is amused by many things, but he doesn't really show his emotions. he may not be the best at providing advice, but he is a great listener and can lend people a shoulder to cry on, maybe. well, maybe all he can do is listen since he doesn't like skinship that much. however, he often keeps his problems to himself and doesn't share it with others. he, like yoora, is paranoid and overly cautious, and sometimes he can behave in a rather rash and aggressive manner.

 first impression  : they do not know each other before the show. all yoora knows is that kyungsoo is very popular, and kyungsoo only knows yoora because of peach. when they first met, kyungsoo thinks that she is a really quiet girl, and yoora thinks that he... has really big eyes. she actually thinks that his eyes are pretty scary, but nevertheless, she thinks that he's a pretty nice person.
they're okay, but they manage to get closer thanks to yoora's toys. kyungsoo is curious as to why yoora keeps holding a toy, and he then strikes a conversation. yoora says that toys are all squishy, but then kyungsoo's bizarre childish side is then revealed. he mentions that he's squishy too, and then yoora awkwardly pokes his cheek to check his squishiness. She then scoffs and tells him that toys are even squishier than him. and all of a sudden, they become arguing children which keep comparing the level of squishiness... it is a pretty awkward and bizarre first meeting, but it is pretty entertaining and hilarious to watch the two serious people reveal their childish sides for once.

 relationship  : Their relationship is even stranger than Miran and yoora's relationship. They're what people call 'the 4d siblings' as they're really strange and unpredictable. they can act like mature parents at a moment, and yet at another moment, they can act like children comparing even the most trivial things. Their relationship stays consistent, however, some situations do happen which make them become even closer.

 scene requests  :
-yoora and kyungsoo are at the festival with the others though they do wish that it is a date. right then, the two start bickering again because yoora proposes to win a teddy for him, and being the manly kyungsoo, he claims that he doesn't want it as it is childish. yoora ignores him anyway and goes to play a game, winning a huge, cuddly teddy bear. being the kind-hearted yoora, she gives the bear to kyungsoo although she badly wants it herself. he wanted to reject, but after seeing how adorable the bear is, he finally accepts saying that he has no choice. (seriously, he should just admit that he wants it.)
-yoora's mother is ill one day, and though she really wants to visit her mother, she still has schedules so she can't stay at the hospital for too long. she sleepwalks again and dreams about her mother leaving her all alone, and she wakes up in fright. kyungsoo happens to come out and sees her dazed state. he asks if she is okay, and being the typical yoora, she blurts out everything to the blank guy who doesn't know what he should do. after finishing, yoora nearly bursts out in tears due to desperation and kyungsoo just passes her the bear she gave him at the festival, hoping that she will be happy again. yoora calms down after seeing the bear, and as her mind is all mixed up, she thinks that the bear is hers. she brings the bear to her room and ignores kyungsoo (since he isn't a stuffed toy), who is puzzled and confused.
 

THE INTERVIEW

 what made you want to join this show?  :
I'm not a really sociable person, so I think that this will be a great chance for me to speak more. It will also be nice for me to know more people and perhaps gain some friends.

 what are you anticipating about the show?  : 
i can't wait to see the house i'll be living in. *smiles* i also anticipate the events that will be planned out by the pd. there will be, right? if not, maybe we can have a cooking competition. i will certainly look forward to that.

 do you have any wories about being on the show?  : 
...i'm slightly worried that people will think that i'm strange. I may look like a really mature and introverted person, but i can act like a child when stuffed toys are in front of me. *chuckles* i guess i have split personalities, but really, i can't help it when i see adorable things.

 are you hoping for   : 
I am hoping that I will open up more during variety shows and improve my cooking skills. it would be nice if i can cook as well as my mother, or even better. *chuckles*
 

 additional comments  : it has been fun! hopefully yoora's dorkiness is still of an acceptable level. i'm afraid that i've made her go overboard.

 questions?  : n/a
