PERSONALITY »
Jieun is someone who is very very warm-hearted and loving. She is kind to anyone and everyone she meets because she knows what it's like to be treated badly by someone. She is someone who is filled with love and compassion which she shows through her actions instead of words. She tries to help anyone and everyone who is in need of help without caring whether or not the person was her rival. All she knows is that she wants to help people out. Jieun is very protective and she shows it through the way she cares for a person and the way he/she feels. She tries her very best to prevent that person from getting hurt and would do anything to protect his/her feelings from getting hurt even if it meant sacrificing her own happiness.She is also always there for that person to lend a shoulder and a listening ear whenever he/she has a problem and he/she knows that Jieun is trustworthy as she always has their back. Jieun is brave as she has the ability to look at her biggest fear and face it in the eye. She is a person who will risk personal injury and suffering to protect her own beliefs, or to protect another person.She's able to sacrifice anything and everything if it will make the person she cares for happy and safe.Jieun is also extremely firm to her decisions. Once she has made up her mind, she would not change it no matter who was the person who's trying to persuade her which can be both a good and a bad thing. She is also very very determined to show others that she wasn't a push-over nor was she a weakling due to her experiences in getting bullied. Therefore, she is able to stand up for herself. Jieun is responsible and dislikes leaving things messy. She hates having someone pick up after her own mess.For example, she would never leave her towel anywhere aside from the towel rack as she knows how messy it would look. She was simply not the type to mess anything up. Jieun is someone who is very easy to talk to. If there was anything someone needed to let out, Jieun was the person to go to because she would just be there to listen silently without saying a single comment unless it was something comforting. Jieun is also very generous and kind as she often donated to charity andwouldn't mind spending money if it was something that could help another person out. Being raised as a cautious person, she doesn't act without thinking and would never run around without knowing anything about the place

Like every other human being, Jieun also had her negative traits. Due to her past experiences in getting bullied, Jieun can get emotional sometimes. She often has strong reactions towards a situation, place or a even a person. No matter the emotions, she tend to get deep and strong feelings towards it which also makes her cry easily which makes people often deem her as dramatic or a drama-queen. However, it was also because of those experiences that taught her to be strong. Jieun is someone who is hard to please especially since she was born with a silver spoon in . She is also too careful when it comes to choosing or accepting things.Jieun is also someone who's a picky eater. She mostly only eats food that she likes and is used to otherwise, she wouldn't much less glance at the plate of foreign food set before her. For instance, if she dislikes rice, she would hardly ever eat it unless she doesn't have a choice. Jieun also prefers pasta over rice due to the fact that when she was young, she rarely ever ate rice. Back at home, Jieun was often treated as a princess which gave her the impression that she was much more important than everybody else but of course, this only happens every once in a while when she's in a bad mood or when she's PMS-ing. Jieun is a pessimist always expects bad things to happen whenever she's caught in a situation. She often ends up looking at things in a negative light. She also often tend to think negatively about the future. Jieun blows up very easily which also means that she loses her temper very easily or in other words, she's short-tempered. Pair that up with her emotional trait and it turns her into someone dramatic. Jieun is impatient and dislikes being kept waiting and also making people wait for her. To her, if the other person can't be late, why can she?

BACKGROUND »
Stress Overload >>
Jieun was supposed to have the perfect life but from the very moment she was born, her older brother despised her especially since their parents had began to diverse their attention from him to her. At the age of 4, her parents sent her to ballet and gymnastic lessons before beginning to place more weight on the poor girl's shoulders and had began to ignore the older child. When Jieun reached 5 years old, her parents began to send her to piano classes as well as flute classes despite her constant complains which gradually stopped because she grew to love the two said instruments.At the age of 6, Jieun was sent to even more lessons than before as she was sent to even more classes which were horse-back riding, vocal class, arts, as well as archery. The poor girl had more than she could manage on her plate but her parents just kept pilng in more and more schedules for her. Soon enough, she became stressed out and had to keep taking medication to prevent her from killing herself. Because of that, her parents stopped her horse-riding lessons after asking her to choose one class to kick out.

Jealousy >>
At the age of 6, Jieun got scarred for life. At that time, her older brother was 10 years old and yet he already had sadistic thoughts filled in his head. One night, he dressed up as a clown who looked mentally ill before sneakily taking a long,sharp knife from the kitchen. To him, he was doing it because she somehow "stole" his parents from him when that wasn't the case. He sneaked into her room and yanked back her duvet to reveal his sleeping sister. Wearing a creepy smile on his face, he let out a loud maddening cackle causing her to wake up. Quite obviously, she was shocked and scared upon waking up to such a scary face. She let out a loud scream but nobody came because their parents were away for the night and had left her in the care of her older brother. Fortunately, he wasn't crazy enough to kill her. Instead, upon seeing his sister frightened to no end, he pulled off his mask and dropped the knife before climbing onto the bed to comfort her despite her constant shrieks of "Go Away!" That night, she ended up being scarred for life. Her parents didn't do anything about it because they didn't know until she told them. Her older brother got sent to a doctor where he got treated and eventually got better. He got ashamed of his actions and didn't know how to face his younger sister who had readily forgave him. With that, they fixed their relationship a little as it wouldn't be perfect anymore after what he had done.

Tragedy Strikes >>
At the age of 8 to 9, Jieun and Junghwa's parents became overly busy with their business meetings making it seem as if they do not love them anymore when in reality they do. Jieun grew mad and ended up ignoring everybody. Soon after, her parents relationship turned from good to bad because her mother had discovered the fact that her father had another lady behind their backs. Her mother, quite obviously was mad and wanted to get a divorce with him, failing to do so because of their children, Jieun and Junghwa. However, she did something worst. She packed up and left the children alone with their father. To this very day, Jieun remembers that moment. Jieun who was just 9 at that time, was taken aback by her mother's sudden actions of suddenly leaving. The shock left a great impact on Jieun . She lost her voice and didn't regain it until the day she forced herself to speak because her stepmother tried to kick her older brother out of the house.

Playing Hero >>
"D.." Jieun who was just 11 spoke for the first time since she was 9. "Don't.." She paused again, seemingly in pain. "Don't touch him!" She had succeeded in making a full sentence as she thrown herself around her older brother while sending glares to her stepmother who just smirked but as soon as she caught sight of their father, her husband, she instantly pretended to be concern about the fact that the older child was on the floor but as soon as she lost sight of him, pushed the two children to the floor, warning them to be careful. It was at that age and at that moment that Jieun regained her ability to speak because she wanted to protect her older brother. She told her father what was happening around the house while he was gone and instantly, he kicked the woman out.

Moving And Meeting Agian>>
At the age if 13, Jieun's father decided to expand his company to China and had wanted to concentrate on the newly built company there so he made everyone pack up and migrate to China. There, he began concentrating on his work so much, he began to ignore Jieun and Junghwa again.Jieun who was still mad at her father ignored him as well, opting to treat him coldly.When Jieun was 15,she was in the middle of her school work when the doorbell rang but didn't bother getting up to get the door because they had a butler and maids for that. "Jieun-ah.." Jieun heard the voice she never imagined she would hear again in her life but she stayed stationary. She didn't want her to have any false hopes. She didn't want to look at her and end up having her walls crumbling down again. "Jieun , my little baby.. Come here.." Jieun gritted her teeth as she felt her eyes getting teary. However, before she did anything, she heard her older brother's voice.

"M- Omma.." Junghwa called as he slowly walked towards their mother before enveloping her in a warm hug with tears streaming down his face while Jieun still stayed frozen in her position. Tears were also streaming down her face but she didn't care and continued to cry silently yet freely because her back was turned towards her mother.

"Omma.." She finally allowed that four letter word to slip through her lips as she stood up and ran over to her mother and hugged her tightly. Her mother was surprised by her youngest daughter's actions but she didn't complain. Instead, she let out a smile before hugging her two children back.

"My two precious children.. I'm sorry.. Omma's sorry for her actions.. I made you two suffer so much.." Her mother said as Jieun and Junghwa continued to cry. She herself, was already crying. The three of them stood there crying and holding onto each other, the two children silently forgiving their mother's rash actions. Just like that, they accepted her back into the family. They didn't protest because they were glad that their mother had decided to come back.

Auditioning >>
At the age of 15, Jieun got into K-Pop and because of her voice and dance skills, she auditioned for SM Entertainment and although she was rejected at first, she never gave up because of her mother's support. She decided that at that very moment, her voice and skills weren't what they were looking for just yet so she worked hard and kept trying. At the age of 16, she finally succeeded in getting into the company. When she found out she got accepted, she tried thinking of a way to break it to her father who wanted her to become one of the CEOs of the company so one day, while they were eating dinner, Jieun broke it to her father who obviously didn't take it too well. He behaved coldly towards her for at least 3 days before finally agreeing due to her mother's persuasion. With that, Jieun moved to Seoul, Korea where she trained for one of the 3 biggest entertainment companies in Asia.

TRAINING »
Because of Jieun's ability to dance, sing and play the piano, she was often envied by the other trainees. They were also often bullying her as they had a belief stuck in their head that she 'paid' to get into the company. Because of their constant bullying and demoralizing, she often lost confidence in herself but was often helped by her best friend and friends who supported her every step.

Jieun , because of her polite behavior towards everyone in the company ranging from the trainers to the sunbaes to the janitors, she was well-liked by everyone. Well, except for a certain group of trainees who were later kicked out because of their foul behavior. However, although she was well-liked she was also treated harshly by her trainers who refused to let her know how well she has done unless it was in exams. They would often try and pin-point every single one of her mistakes in both dancing or vocals to the point she had wanted to quit but of course, she didn't as she kept telling herself that it was for her own good.

Jieun trained alongside the Red Velvet members and the SM Rookies. She was also pretty good friends with them. When Jieun got moved to JYP Ent, all of them still kept in touch because they didn't want to lose their friendship.

Jieun trained in SM Ent. for 3 years 6 months while she trained in JYP for 1 year.

He is also someone who is very over-protective especially towards the people he loves which in this case, Jieun. He would often try and prevent harm from befalling her causing him to end up getting hurt instead. He also has a funny side to him which everyone adores and he always seems to be smiling. However, there were times where his negative side shines through. he can be rather indecisive when it came to having to make a choice for something. he'd end up spending hours on just deciding on one thing so whenever he spends time with his friends and family, they'd choose the meal because he'd always end up pondering on what to eat. he can also be rather gullible as he sometimes end up believing what another person is saying without first finding out the truth. it was because of this trait that he gets into trouble. he is also rather playful, always playing pranks and jokes on his friends though it can get rather annoying over time because of the number of pranks he pulls.

RELATIONSHIP » 
After receiving his number very unexpectedly at the fan-meeting, Jieun had waited a few days before finally texting him in hopes that she wouldn't interupt or disturb him. Surprisingly, he had texted back almost immediately as he was actually on a break. Through the phone, they talked to each other for a few weeks before taking it a step further by actually calling each other. Their relationship turned from acquaintances to good friends so when they actually met each other again face-to-face - of course Sehun had to go to her house otherwise the media would've known that he was visiting a female friend, they gradually got to know each other even more until they became best friends. It was as if they knew each other ever since they were kids when it obviously wasn't the case. Every now and then, they'd burst into random english conversations as at first, Jieun found it rather difficult to communicate in Korean,a language she wasn't familiar with at all. Sehun would help her in the Korean language. he was also there to support her when she finally decided to audition for a company, encouraging her whenever she felt as if she'd fail. it was almost as if he was her number 1 fan. Over time,Sehun's kindness and caring manner grew on Jieun and love began growing from her heart for him and vice versa.

Now, they thought the other thought of the other as a friend only so they kept their feelings to themselves. their friends often wonder how they had no clue about the other's feelings when it was literally laid out there for them to see it.
