personality » 
⎯  INFJ, Slytherin, Random, Charismatic, Kind, Stubborn, Sweet, Snarky
⎯  SME modeled her persona a bit after f(x)'s Amber, in such a way that she's a lot more real and true to herself than most idols have a chance to be, so there's no actual fake concept or anything. They stressed that if anything, a selling point would be the 180 degree difference between her when she's performing - charismatic, powerful, occasionally y and teasing - and when she's not, which is well, a dork. She's not afraid to laugh out loud and do things not exactly idol-like, which makes her receive praise about being a "natural" sort of idol member. 

⎯ Although she may have a resting face and a rather intimidating first impression to most, it's just due to her normally shy nature that she tries really hard to break out of. When the cameras are rolling, she's a bit less shy than she would be without the image she has to upkeep, always willing to go with the flow and do whatever is asked of her - rap, sing, dance, aegyo, you name it. Generally carefree, but highly competitive when it comes to games and missions, so you'll love to have her on your team if needed.

⎯ A bit stubborn sometimes; although she tends to think she's always right, she's still very good at listening to both sides of a conversation and coming up with the most logical decision. That said, when it comes to how she was when she realized she liked Yoochan - well, initially she wanted to just remain friends and not pursue anything, since they were idols and it'll be hard, but she didn't know it'll be even harder keeping your feelings in check when you're practically with the person 24/7.

trivias » You'll see these in the story, so I'll skip it for now.

background » Nothing too important.

family » She has two brothers, but again, nothing too important.

TELL ME MORE.

friends/rivals » Generally, her friends would be the members of her made up band and other bands in the same company. I'll add more about that below, for the sake of the story and if you're interested. Your friends could also include your group members or even other idols. If you want to add her a friend in your application, feel free! No rivals because I don't like drama lmao. 

GROUP » Heaven's Star. 5 members, under SM Entertainment, all members originally part of SM Rookies. Debut song is EvoL's We Are A Bit Different. Debut date around the same time as A.C.E, so May 2017. Also promoted a song around the same time as UNB's Sense.

GROUP POSITION » Rapper, Sub Vocal
 

TRAINEE BACKGROUND » Nothing too important. Trainee for 3 years. Friends with trainees here and there, mostly from NCT since they were trainees at around the same time. Here you can add whether things were hard for you and why, or even if it was easy. It's really just fodder for conversation in the story, so you don't need to be dramatic. For Minye, her trainee life would be that of any SM trainee. Hard, but rewarding.

IDOL BACKGROUND » Pretty successful since they came from one of the Big 3, but also really hard because they came from one of the Big 3 and had to really show that they had talent and not just SME's name. Nothing too important overall. Here you can add how things were like for your group whether accurately or with some added, fictional drama. Again, it's really just for bits and pieces to show in the story, but it won't be the main point.
 

DATING BAN? » YES / NO » Contrary to popular belief, SM's pretty lax when it comes to dating. Mainly because training and everything already takes up 100% of their time. Keeping a stable relationship especially as a rookie or young group is hard.

the one and only.

love interest » A.C.E / UNB's Kang Yoochan (Chan), 97liner

personality » Bright, sunshine-y boy. Smiles a lot, laughs a lot. Easy to talk to overall. I could write about him and what I like about him forever, but for now I'll stop here and focus on the relationship part since that's really where the story's main plot lies!

RELATIONSHIP » I know I said I prefer paragraphs, but I'll do long bullet points instead. Some of them are long enough to be paragraphs, so, technically...

⎯  Initially met way back in 2017, since they debuted around the same time and met on one of the music shows. It was a general "hey let's greet the other groups" sort of thing, with not much interactions since then.
⎯  Ended up meeting again somewhere in between their debut and when Yoochan joined The Unit, one a variety show. Probably a Weekly Idol Rookie special or something like that. Minye immediately liked the way his voice sounded and his bright smile, while Yoochan became interested in the way she performed and acted off-stage as if she were two different people. By this point, they're aware that they're the same age and end up becoming friends, but not to the point that they would converse a lot. 

⎯  They don't interact much since Heaven's Star got busier and A.C.E. members ended up preparing to join The Unit and Mixnine. When Yoochan was announced as a member of The Unit, Minye ended up watching it often and her interest in his grew. Eventually in 2018 when UNB debuted, Heaven's Star was also promoting a new song, so the two were able to meet again. They say some stuff like how they're fans of each other, but still friends.

⎯ Okay, now for the Idol House focus! When the two found out that they were going to be part of the show, they were pretty happy to have a familiar face on board. Not to mention since they were the same age, it became easier to be fast friends. Throughout the show, they talk like normal friends until a specific mission (Spoiler alert! I won't say any more than this!) makes them realize their lowkey admiration for the other might actually be a crush in the making, that just grows throughtout the show, whether through subtle ways or even much more grand, planned out situations. Their feelings for each other become apparent enough that everybody else picks up on it, except for each other.

⎯ Their relationship is overall a rather cute and happy one! I personally can't imagine Yoochan is any other situation tbh he's just my sweet sunshine baby. Yoochan's the one who gets flustered more easily, but he does have a reverse charm to him that catches Minye off-guard sometimes. 

SCENES » I have a scene I want in particular, but listing it here would make it a spoiler since I'm adding it to the story for sure for everybody else.

last words.
