Personality. 

Ai is known to be somewhat outspoken. She is rather bold when it comes to stating her thoughts or feelings, especially to those she knows. She is friendly and rather likeable, especially to new people she meets. She has a way of making everyone feel welcomed. Ai is very creative and original, which she has found rather useful when it comes to her dancing. She’s very adaptable and can adapt to most situations rather fast. 

 

Ai isn’t someone who takes criticism well. She tends to take things to personally even when they weren’t meant to hurt her or offend her. It's something she really wishes she was able to change and it's something shes trying her best to improve on. If she is made to do something repeatedly, she gets easily bored and unfocused. She has a great dislike of conflict and will often help other peoeple (namely the members) to resolve matters quickly.

 

Background.

Zheng Ai was born on January 6th, 1995 to a Korean mother and Chinese father in Andong, South Korea. At the time of her birth, her father (who moved to Korea when he was a teenager) was nineteen and her mother was eighteen. Even though Ai’s parents were young, they decided before she was born that they would keep Ai and make it work some way or another. With little to no support, the first years of Ai’s life were hard on her mother and father, but they managed to pull through. When Ai was two, her mother and father finally were able to marry, making them a proper family. A few years later when Ai was five in 2000, Ai’s twin sisters (Meili and Meiqi) were born, but sadly a day that would have been happy in all other cases quickly turned into that of a nightmare. After the birth of her twin sisters, Ai’s mother went into shock and died as a result of complications from the birth. Ai doesn’t remember much from that time and because of how old she was, she never really understood it until she was older. But the one thing she’ll never forget was her father, normally cheerful man, clearly broken.

 

As Ai got older, she became much closer with her father and sisters. Raising three girls was not easy on Ming’s (Ai’s fathers) part, especially three outspoken girls, but they somehow made it work. With the help of friends Ming was able to raise three beautiful and strong willed girls. When Ai became a teenager, her father decided to make the short move into Seoul with his daughters, thinking that there would be more opportunities for them and himself in the large city. It was around this time that Ai was finally old enough to start helping out when her then toddler sisters. The two were a handful, but Ai and her father managed to make it work. Ai just really wanted to do anything she could so that she would never have to see her father the way she did that horrible day, so she didn’t mind at all.

 

When Ai was about fifteen, she joined the dance club at her school after one of her friends requested she join with them. Though reluctant at first, Ai quickly feel in love with dance. Ai had danced throughout her childhood but stopped when she entered middle school, so she wasn’t sure if she would enjoy it anymore, but, lo and behold, It wasn’t long until she was spending every free moment she had dancing with her friends or even sisters. Ai and her friends formed a small dance team within the club that would perform dance covers of idol songs at talent shows and events held by their school. Ai quickly became fascinated with the idea of idols and the possibility of becoming an idol. She thought of it as a way that she could continue to do what she loved (dancing) for as long as possible. After all, her father had always encouraged her to do what she loved. After her seventeenth birthday, Ai began to audition for companies with the blessing of her father and was finally accepted into HB Entertainment a year later, in Febuary 2013.

Talent Twin. WJSN's Meiqi (WJSN's Xuanyi)

 

Trainee years. Five (Under HB Entertainment)

Trainee Life.
Training for Ai wasn't as easy as she thought it would be. Most of her time was spend in the training room either with trainers, other trinees or whoever was tasked to look over her. She would throw her all into training which often lead to minor injuries that made it difficult for her to dance. When she was selected as a member of HB Girls, she started to push herself and train harder and longer, as she felt that she wasn't quiet ready to become an idol as of yet. No matter how she was feeling on any given day, Ai would give it her all and do her best for not only her, but the other members of Citrus.

Love Story.

Ai met Beodeul when he was assigned to look after the girls while they were still under HB Entertainment. Ai didn’t really think much of him at first, after all he was just looking after the members and nothing more. But after spending much more time with the girls and becoming more open and closer, Ai started to really take notice of Beodeul. It always felt like he had something funny to say, or some advice to give. It was like he was always. Ready for whatever the girls threw at him, and Ai really admired that.

 

The two started spending more time together after Ai had heard of the planned debut. She felt no where near ready enough to debut, even if it was the thing she wanted most. She would often say much back longer than most of the other girls and self train until Beodeul would force her to go home and rest. Ai began to really let her walls down around Beodeul during these training sessions. There was time’s where she would completely break down, but whenever those times hit, Beodeul was always there to encourage her and support her.

 

It wasn’t long before Ai started to notice that the light she had originally saw him in had started to change. It was like a switch in her brain flicked and she was finally seeing him as a man rather than just their manager. She started to like him as more than a manager or friend. Ai, being as outspoken as she is, decided it was best to let him know as soon as possible, even if he didn’t feel the same.

 

The next time the two were left alone in the he training room, Ai confessed her feelings to Beodeul, who looked a little taken aback when she told him. Ai was half expecting him to reject her flat out, but Beodeul didn’t respond. He stood there thinking for what felt like forever before just saying that it wouldn’t be proper. Ai pushed him for a response as she wasn’t planning on heading back to the dorm without one. All his responses made Ai feel like he was dancing around the subject. So, she kissed him and found the response she had been waiting for when he kissed her back.

 

What happened in the following days and weeks felt like relationship limbo. It was obvious that Beodeul and herself were no longer just manager and trainee or friends, but they also hadn’t said they were anything else. It was a lot of exchanged glances in the practice room, stolen kissed when no one was around and a new softness when the two were alone. It wasn’t until after the girls left HB Entertainment that Ai started questioning what they were. They no longer had a company to answer to, but that didn’t really make things easier. Ai still hadn’t told any of the other members and she was kind of afraid too.

 

After some discussion, Ai and Beodeul decided to officially start daiting a little before the debut of Citrus, though the two agreed that it would probabaly be best if they didn't tell the other members.

 

Status. Dating.

Ending status. Still dating? It's up to you! 

 

Trivia. 

/ They decided it was best not to tell the most of the members about their relationship but Meili finds out on her own.

/ Ai often likes to steal Beodeul's jumpers. If the members ask about them, she often says she either brought it or that she coulden't find one of her own.

/ Ai isn't a huge fan of couple items as she's positive that it would expose the relationship to the other members.

/ Beodeul and Ai aren't really abe to go on dates. They often spend time together when Ai is doing her solo training.

/ Ai, bing her bold self, often likes to steal kisses when the other members aren't around, or when no one is looking, which in turn causes Beodeul a great ammount of anxiety.
