Stage Persona : Fierce Thai Beauty
Individual Fanclub : Soybeans
Position : Main Dancer
Backup Position : Visual, main dancer, vocalist
Vocal Twin : Sunny
Rap Twin : –
Dance Twin : Kahi
Talk Twin : Seohyun
Personality :
— Like most child actors and actresses, Arinya has a very likeable and obidient personality. Since she has a lot of experience from the entertainment industry, she knows what everyone wants. Much like a people pleaser, she provides what everyone wants: entertainment. Very gregarious and humorous in nature, Ae will have you growing fond of her. She's very flexible so she can adjust to any changes and is quick to think on her feet; she's the queen of variety. Friendly and amiable to everyone, Ae likes to keep at peace with everyone, unlike there's a reason to not trust someone. Since she is a Buddhist, she's spiritually and emotionally at peace with herself and everyone else. She's not a silent mouse, but she would also actively engage in something without shining the spotlight on her constantly.
Since she has spent literally all her life training to become an idol, she is very serious and vehement with it. It's not just practice, it's a chance to improve. When the girls are focused or they horse around, she would be the first to yell for them to stop and be serious. Confident and aggressive on stage, she pours her whole heart into her dance moves and singing. She doesn't like skinship and doing fanservice, but when she does it out of innocence.
Background :
— Her mother is Korean and works in Thailand as a diplomat. Her father also works for the government as law enforcement. Growing up with two cultures gave her an interesting life. Since she knew that she wanted to become something big, she always had a liking towards the entertainment industry. As a kid, she would do advertisement which later on turned into roles in Thai Lakorn (thai dramas). Most famous for her first Soybean Milk commercial, Arinya was given the nickname Soybean by the Thai media. She continued acting until she was 12 and her interest in dancing and music sparked. Ae began to grow more into her Korean side and KPOP soon became something she saw herself getting into. Intrigued by artists like TVXQ, BoA, Lee Hyori, Rain, and Se7en she knew she had the potential to be a part of it. She took a break from acting to build up her performing career. Joining talent competitions and shows that focused on young Thai kids, Ae began to build a name for herself. In 2011, at age 19, her and her family went on a trip to South Korea. At the same time, E-Start were having auditions and she thought, why not? So she took part, dancing as her talent. Going through the rare procedures of looking at the judges from all angles of her face, she knew she had a shot at joining. A few weeks later, she got the call back and moved to Korea alone to undergo training.
It's hard to live in a strange country without her family, but she's strong and dealt through. By meditating and calling her family, it helps eases the home sickness. Becuase she was Thai, she was often idolated for being the foreign kid. After a while she gained some popularity after winning a dance battle against a male trainee.
Trivia :
— Her voice is relatively soft and gentle so when she shouts or screams, it's funny.
— "Why do you live like this? Don't live like this." – a constant phrase she uses when someone does someone does something stupid.
— She doesn't like to be touched or touchy people. "Please don't touch me. Thank you." Because of this she may seem arrogant but it's her decision. "Just don't touch me."
— When she's under a lot of stress, she meditates. The girls respect this about her so when she's in the zone, they leave her alone.
— Carries a Thai amulet wherever she goes. Usually tied around her left wrist like a bracelet.
— She likes trying new thing. Kind of a spontaneous girl.
— Whenever she's bored and the girls have no schedules, she likes to cook them Thai cuisine and cute Thai desserts just so they can spice up their taste buds.
— Hates it when people are talking to her when her ear buds are in or when they disturb her when she's dancing
— Doesn't like eating beef. Which is weird because Korean food is based a lot on beef. But she's okay with fish.
— If chocolate ice cream were a person, she'd marry him right away.
— She likes the cold weather, since Bangkok was always so hot.
— Doesn't like crying in front of people. // "It makes me look weak and pathetic." // She allows herself 3 minutes to cry then she has to compose herself again
Love Interest :
— Zhang Yixing/Lay, 22, KPOP Idol
— His heart is the hardest thing to describe; no words could ever be enough to express such beauty. He is the one who usually speak the truth, the kind of person you can talk to whenever you have problems, the one who dances his heart out, the one who will give his soul for singing, and the one with a child-like soul. Like Ae, Zhang Yixing who always smiles quietly on the background is actually insecure. He always wants to become better. This Zhang Yixing, despite the vulnerability, is strong. It was never easy to go to a foreign country with absolutely no one to lean on. This Zhang Yixing strives for perfection but he only actually wants a stage, fans and friends.He has a heart who only knows about forgive, forget and endure. Everything about this Zhang Yixing is very simple but is enough to be remembered and be known.
— Yixing remembers seeing Arinya when they both entered an Talent Competition. Her and Yixing were finalists. When she performed he thought "Wow, this girl is really gonna be something big!" And he was correct. Arinya also remembers him and knows him at the kid with the puffy hair and sick dance moves, not EXO's Lay. The time Jagu-A debuted, he was one of their biggest supporters, helping Ae gain a Soybean (her fan club). They talked more frequently and their friendship became much stronger; perhaps even more.
