SAERA 새라 [PRETTY HURTS]
TW: Bulimia
and you're talking to me one on one but you become...
— sae ttungttung [새뚱뚱] – ttung ttung is fat in korean and she got that name when she was on produce 101 because she's always eating. not in an offensive way but a cute way
— ttungjongie [뚱종이] – it's what she gets called all the time in her comments because she eats so much yet remains thing. ttung is fat and jongi is paper so it means she's thin like paper but fat on the inside
— english – 85% – she learned since she was a little girl
— chinese – 60% – she learned from kyulkyung who she is good friends with. since she wasn't good at korean saera tried to learn mandarin to talk to her
Saera isn't close to her parents because even after all these years they still don't support her. She doesn't want that kind of negative vibes in her life so they don't talk often. They believe whatever she tells them because they really don't check up on her like that. They still see being an idol as a phase and expect her to go to culinary school when she "gets over it". She hasn't physically seen her parents in 2019 when Hinapia first debuted because they were at her showcase.
Saera is the closest to Rina out of everyone. She still works as a housekeeper for her parents and they have no idea that Saera is living with her. She's the only person that knows Saera's whole journey of trying to be an idol. Even though Saera held a lot of the bad things out. She also supports Saera's mukbang career by helping to find her recipes to cook and she makes the food for her sometimes, she also might be a camerawoman at times too. Rina is worried about Saera's weight loss but Saera always dismisses her concerns as not a big deal claiming that she eats everything. Rina doesn't know she throws it up but she has her suspicions.
When they first disbanded, Saera tried to keep in touch with all the girls. Since it's been so long they kind of grew apart but Saera still contacts them and hangs out with them whenever they have free time. Even the members that no longer live in Korea she texts and facetimes them often.
She's known Seventeen for so long that she still talks to all of them, she's like their little sister. They still invite her to shows and sometimes hang out with them. They've featured on her YouTube and TikTok videos too which still remain her most viewed ones.
Saera and Samuel remained good friends even after he left Pledis. She's supported all his activities and same with him. He's now her best friend, she spends the most time with him and people think they're dating since he features in her videos so much. Everytime she says its a hard no but part of him is sad because he kind of likes her. Even hearing that used to date makes her cringe a bit because she no longer sees him like that at all. Samuel gets to see all the ugly sides from Saera because she's so comfy around him. He's seen her be unhealthy with her eating and whenever he brings it up she gets frustrated so he doesn't though he's concerned. She really doesn't care about her image at all when it comes to him, she'd openly sniff her armpit then ask him to sniff to confirm that it does smell. Or call him at 4am crying like a hot mess because her favorite character from a drama she's watching died. They share their ideas with each other first like their music and possible video ideas. He's really like a very close brother, no, a sister to her. Though Samuel still tries to flirt with her sometimes and she makes a dramatic vomit sound. She can't see anything he does at romantic, even when he kisses her head and she puts her legs on him it's all platonic. She's never told him about Seokmin but he's seen them together and sees how she kind of acts cutesy around him so he has an idea. He tried bringing it up once but she laughed saying he's crazy and changed the subject. Poor Samuel is just stuck in the friend zone with no way of getting out.
LOVE INTEREST / LEE SEOKMIN [DK/DOKYEOM] / 25 / MAIN VOCALIST OF SEVENTEEN / INFP
Saera has known Seokmin since 2012 when he became a trainee, he was actually the one that played cupid for her and Samuel and shipped the two cuties. He always saw her as a little sister and she saw him as an older brother. Even though he debuted he still checked up on her and was so happy for her on Produce 101. Everytime he voted and sent her screenshot proof too. They were in the same Pledis fam groupchat and texted at times for years. When she started TikTok and YouTube he featured in some of her videos like all her friends.
OUT OF 10 HOW TALENTED WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF? Hmm that's a hard question. Honestly I'm not sure. Maybe a seven.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE A KPOP IDOL? Because I always loved singing and dancing. It was Girls Generation and After School that inspired me to be an idol though. My first appearance was in After School's Bang when I was eight and that really confirmed my dream for me. Even though I've been in two other groups, I'm still young so I want to keep trying until I make my dream come true.
DO YOU HAVE GOOD STAGE PRESENCE AND CHARISMA? WHAT ABOUT STAR QUALITY? Hmm I think I'll let the voters decided if I have those things.
WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A TEAM PLAYER? Totally! I've been on a survival show before so I know that team work is really important to do well, and honestly I've never wanted to go solo. Even now, I still want to debut in a long lasting group that's like family to me.
you're tryna be cool, you look like a fool to me.
