red is for things to fix, purple is for questions, and green is for advice!
hi, azeline! we put your faceclaim as park girim because lee eunjin didn't have very many hq pictures :c. i like her name! min yoora is really pretty and unique. what company is she under, by the way? you just said she trained for two years and debuted. also, you said she's calm, but she's also paranoid about the world around her? i feel like it contradicts itself a little bit! your personality was barely minimum length and i couldn't get the feel of your character much at all except for the traits you gave me. i expected you to elaborate on them a little bit (and you did!), but i still feel like it was a mix of information and rambling. in your summary, you say that she's eccentric and childish but your personality traits say she's calm? is she two-faced? please edit that up a bit to where it at least makes sense and doesn't contradict pretty much the entire personality. moving on - if her mother is a singer, then why are they dirt poor (it seems like)? she doesn't seem like the type to undergo rigorous training and actually pull through okay, to be quite honest with you; her personality is rather introverted and scared and idols tend to be extroverts and confident about themselves. so, i find it a bit hard to believe. i'm not quite sure why orgel by shinee is listed as filmography - was there even an mv for it? i'd suggest removing that because i don't think it makes much sense being there. with her dislikes, the fact she can't face the harsh truth is really out of place considering you do get criticized a lot pre-debut while you're training, and you need to be able to accept that criticism well. was that something she struggled with while training? you didn't list a lot of habits that help define yoora as a roommate, so i'm not sure how we're going to even write about her if all we know is that she stares at her nails. does she talk in her sleep? does she stay up late watching anime all of the time? we need details to be able to see your character clearly :) sorry if i sound harsh, but i don't think your character's intelligence would be at a 9. i consider 7 to be the basic level for any student that went through the korean school system, 6 if they didn't finish. but a 9? she just doesn't seem like the type. maybe she's secretly smart, i don't know, but you only mentioned once that she likes studying. you need a little more to back that up; explain the number, too. and her sociality feels a bit too low for my tastes, but you mentioned she's not too great with people somewhere in your app so i guess i'll take it. elaborate on the numbers you chose; just listing 7 or 4 doesn't tell me very much! i feel like you made kyungsoo pretty much the same personality as yoora - you took similar traits and pretty much just shoved them in there, and most of his personality felt like rambling. calm yet agressive, i don't get that. it contradicts itself again. lol kyungsoo calls himself squishy, i thought that was really cute. the first scene request makes kyungsoo seem like a different person because you said he was childish in his personality and then you say he doesn't want a teddy bear because he's suddenly mature? well, that's all i really have to say about it. try and fix up the things i mentioned so it isn't as contradicting with each other. thanks for applying!

lee byunghun ( l.joe )
isakatsura : rejected
HEY ISA! THANKS FOR APPLYING, I REALLY LIKE YOUR FACECLAIM, SHE SEEMS TO FIT YOUR CHARACTER REALLY WELL, VAIN BUT SWEET.
SHE'S A MODEL RIGHT? BUT WHY IS SHE ONLY 164 CM TALL? THAT'S BARELY TALLER THAN AVERAGE. I'D SAY SHE'D HAVE TO BE AT LEAST 170 CM ( IT'D BE SO CUTE TO HAVE HER ALMOST THE SAME HEIGHT AS L.JOE ).
HER STYLE IS A BIT CONFUSING, IT'S LIKE SHE CHANGES HER ENTIRE WARDROBE EVERY TIME THE SEASON CHANGES. if you could simplify it, that'd be great.
in the personality, you used the traits "narcisstic yet romantic", "frank yet loyal", and "impulsive yet allrounded". usually when people use yet that way, it's to compare two antonyms, but none of those words are antonyms, or even contradict eachother. that really threw me off for a second there.
paragraphs are used to separate different thoughts. it would have been better if you used a different paragraph for each of the traits since they don't exactly go together.
in the cheatsheet i mentioned that you should have an even balance of both good and bad traits, but i didn't really see a good array of either. the traits you used were kind of generic and too broad. they could be used to describe anyone, and it didn't really help to explain minhee's personality. most of the things in there could have been simplified and put in the misc. section.
i suggest you pick some of the traits that fit together well and elaborate on those. for example, in my case i would have made minhee a stylish, narcisstic perfectionist that cares a lot about her looks, but is still a trustworthy and helpful friend that would go to any lengths to meet her ideals. it would have been interesting if you made her intelligence like a 2 or a 3.
what kind of photography does minhee's dad do exactly that he would need a 3 year old to model for him? her younger sister is already a fashion designer? ISN'T SHE LIKE 18? what mother would experiment makeup on her 3 year old daughter? i don't really see how staying at home by herself would make her "all-rounded and impulsive". what child doesn't have to do chores? you make her sound like a bratty, spoiled child. her entire family background sounds way too perfect for my taste. she pretty much has the dream life, no hardships at all.
i do like that you said she felt guilty about failing all her tests becaue she was so absorbed in her looks. i liked how she doesn't like libraries as well. that was really realistic of you, maybe you could explain more about that? perhaps now that she's older, minhee is now regretting her "shallow" choices that made her grow up clumsy and lacking common sense, so now she wants to make up for it by further pursuing her education?
she has a lot more modeling jobs than most models PROBABLY would. are there no other models in the country? maybe cut it down a little to keep it realistic. i mean, why would a huge high fashion model like her want to join a show with a bunch of idols? are her friends really going to affect the show?
i can see sooyoung making a cameo, but kiseop?
whoa whoa whoa. piano, flute, and guitar? that's getting border line mary-sue here. you didn't say anything about her being musically talented.
i always see runway models as the type that look down on idols and think they're higher class than them, so i find it a bit unlikely that she's a big teentop fan. lucky for her, her bias just so happens to get cast on the same show as her. minhee doesn't seem like the type "to spazz out" in front of her bias. it's not like she's just a normal fan like you and me, she's "one of the most successful models in the country". I SUGGEST TAKING THAT PART OUT AND CHANGING IT TO JUST HER THINKING THAT HE'S CUTE (MAYBE BECAUSE OF HIS HEIGHT?)
She dated 3 guys? she's a huge model though, DO YOU THINK miranda KERR WOULD HAVE ANY TROUBLE GETTING A GUY TO LIKE HER? could you explain why it "ended badly"? perhaps they didn't live up to her romantic, fairy tale like expectations? why was l.joe any different?
that's about it. thanks for applying, i hope you'll edit your app and resubmit it. i do like minhee's character, i just wish you'd write it a little differently.
tips:
- there were a lot of little things that i wish you'd take out or at least tone down like her being one of the most successful a models in korea and knowing how to play 3 intruments.
- use some different traits. bluntness and impulsiveness have been overused so many times in applyficss. it seems like every single character has to be straight forward and hotheaded.
- simplify and take out what's not needed. it just distracts the reader and is really off-putting.

hey mai, i'll review yours again once you edit the things i mentioned in my comment. let me know when you're done, thanks!
additionally:
- you didn't delete the top part like it says to in the instructions
- you forgot the password.
- please change the height like how i asked you to.
- a 7 (in the intelligence) is not an average kid, a 5 is. same with the household part.
- jinri's personality as well as taemin's personality are too shallow. go more in detail. it might help to see applications that have been accepted. ( though currently there are none ).
- READ THE CHEATSHEET CAREFULLY PLEASE. IT TELLS YOU MOST OF THE THINGS I'M REPEATING.

hey hey hey amanda! omg i can’t believe you applied but okey. hello! pony as your faceclaim? i love you already. and kim dohee!??!! NO ONE USES HER THANK YOU FOR PUTTING HER DOWN EVEN AS A BACKUP. her style really tells a lot about her, and i’m just in love with your app so far. i really like it. lina is so ditzy and that’s the type of character i really adore. i love her so much <3 and she was a total acting kid in her childhood… i don’t see how she couldn’t have a social life with at least her peers in acting class (if there were any). but, it’s okay how it is, since it does make sense. her career history makes complete sense and omg kim woobin scandal i am dead. because she’s an actress, i can totally see her rating how people act onscreen with every movie she watches. “oh my god, he’s so awkward it hurts me.” lee jongsuk as your love interest buh bye i am dead. yeahh i should stop rambling and this is a totally fine app with no problems. thank you for saving me time LOL

hi ara! lovin’ the username. LOL squishy is totally kyungsoo’s nickname, back off bro (jk ignore me). i like the group name she’s in, too. euphoric sounds pretty. i usually hate kim shinyeong as an ulzzang since she use to have such a big-eyed nasty look, but since she’s an idol and you used nice pictures, i’ll let it pass. lol this seems to be common in the style; what colors does she like to wear? pastels? dark colors? bright colors? does she dress excessively? “better yehet today that kkaebsong tomorrow” oH MY GOSH YOU ARE VERY CUTE. seulmi is a pretty solid character for an idol type, acting cute and cheery and then being totally materialistic. a lot of applicants have “oh she’s nice and still really nice” with their personalities so thank you for branching out. LOL. okay, as much as i love her background, the part about her loving singing and blah blah and then getting scouted and making it in first try doesn’t seem realistic to me. you never mentioned if her singing skills were average or better, just that people admired her vocals. i feel like she would’ve at least been the type to go to the weekly auditions once or twice (or more) before finally making it in, rather than being scouted. it seems like a more logical approach than just having this nice background and bam, she’s scouted and made the audition. anyways, i LOVE LADIES’ CODE THANK YOU FOR THE SONGS. hm.. i don’t think anybody would know how to EAT chopsticks, ya feel me? maybe eat with them but LOL eating them doesn’t sound logical. (i’m totally just playing with you). for household, i would put her at a 5 or a 6 for her skills that you described. maybe a 4. i don’t have much to say except nice things so this is all <33;.

hola, cassie! you didn’t put a password, first of all, so please fix that :( and oh my god, she’s a youtuber?? how did she even get on roommate? LOL. you spelled fluent wrong btw but that’s not a big deal. nice, simple style. woot. god i love how long your personality is, thanks for elaborating so much! also, why did her parents move to america for their jobs? were they offered? and that seems to be the common excuse for moving anywhere… it’s rare that people end up having their jobs switched like that. i would say to change it to something else, like maybe they purely wanted to go visit the country or there was family over there? also, how did she become able to host alongside eric nam? starting off as a youtuber and then suddenly making it in the korean industry (well, the talk-show industry i guess) with no prior experience doesn’t make much sense to me. did somebody recognize her and let her host? was she offered the position? interviewing apink and whatever is fine, but that’s what i’m confused about. i don’t like bubble tea either so yay for you!! to what extent can she dance and sing? not all people on the internet are gifted angels, ya know. maybe she can only do choreographed dances with lots of practice. maybe she can freestyle pretty well to some songs. maybe she can sing high if she raises her voice a lot. i don’t know man. also. ALL HAIL SENPAIS!!!

hey via ;) so i finally get down to your app. (so sorry it took forever??). everybody and their brother seems to be born in 94, hWaT why is this happening :(. she speaks whale? where did she even learn whale what the heck LOL. j-J-JUNG HOSEOK OH MY GOD //THROWS SARANGS AT U BC HO BB IS HERE// mikyung is completely weird, from her fashion tastes to her habits… like, wow. such 4-d. much funny. why did she want to become a singer? she just went to korea and decided to sing? (tbh she seems much more suitable as a comedian with her extreme 4-d personality). and of course, there’s signature mordney. hi mordney. how strangely does she hold her chopsticks? and finally, someone who’s hopeless around the house omfg. i don’t see how her intelligence can be that high, though, you never mentioned she was smart in your personality or anywhere tbh except right there. i guess i’ll take it though. aaaand that’s about it! i love the interview part (she should be a comedian, i mean it) and that’s about it! btw, ancient greek mythology says that aristaeus discovered cheese (bullting greeks, no).

hi azza! you’re the equestrian rider girl! how can she only speak conversational korean if she was born and raised in korea? that doesn’t make any sense, she should be fluent. i like the quote you used. what types of things is she open-minded towards? everything in general? or just specific things? geez, what a family; criminal profiler and a guy who manages equestrian stuff LOL. her mother was really serious about her limiting friendliness, too, and i guess it makes sense (she’s a criminal profiler, after all). i didn’t even think equestrian riding was a thing in korea. she doesn’t seem like the social type, so i’d probably label her a 3 or 4 rather than a 5… if she doesn’t talk to other people first, then i would move it down to one of those numbers, maybe 4. and i thought mark was an outgoing guy :/ eh. “she went over to the dog and calmed him down” do you mean mark? because mark’s not a… dog… (wait i read it again) hyoshin is the DOG. oh okay wow, i was lost. i don’t see how the first answer for your interview can be accurate on account of the fact her mother told her to limit her friendliness, yet they’re both encouraging her to go out and participate on a social show. it doesn’t match up for me. she seems a bit too normal to even be on the show in the first place, mostly because of her lack of connections to the korean film/music industry in the first place. all she had was a connection with lee jun ki. how did she even meet him? i’m just confused, now. i don’t see how she could’ve gotten a place on roommate if she has no connections or participated in any filmography relevant to the general korean public. it is an idols show, after all. that’s just my opinion. thanks for applying, though.

hi, lynn! i like your ulzzang. people are using sori a lot now tbh. as i was reading your app, the only thing that really stood out to me was that she was compared to her sister the entire time and it doesn’t really give an insight on how she became a singer, how she got interested in the industry, etc etc. all you did was compare her to her siblings. also, i’ve stated before that you don’t just get in after one chance of auditioning unless you’re phenomenal. if a woolim rep scouted her at a talent show, that doesn’t mean she automatically gets into the company. she has to audition, too. and you said she doesn’t have a phenomenal voice, so it had to have taken a kick- performance in her audition for her to even pass. also, training isn’t that easy; it’s almost near impossible to fix those problems with “just a little time management” on account of the fact you basically train the entire day with singing lessons and dance lessons (maybe even variety stuff, too). you become a total drone for whatever company you go into; you’ll most likely be done with training by 1-2 am in the morning and you still have homework? you would have to stay up all night and pretty much never sleep in order to finish it. logically speaking, her grades would’ve had to have fallen. the story doesn’t seem believable. where did she start learning taekwondo, by the way? you mention in her likes it helps her relieve stress, but i don’t see anywhere where it mentions her even learning taekwondo. the formatting of your app started to get messed up towards the bottom; you forgot to enter certain things and did you even use shift + enter? it looks like you just pressed enter and kept going. it looks awkward with things so spaced out. changjo’s personality seems like a cookie cutter of all idols, pretty much, and he seems like a boring and flat character to write. you can’t get any dynamics out of him because there aren’t any flaws except for a “short temper”, which everybody has. in the interview, it seems like you’re forcing jiyun to be random. is she really that random? and “i want to make new friends” isn’t even close to a valid reason for joining the show. her company forcing her to do it to increase frost’s popularity sounds a lot more logical than that reason ever will, so please change it so something believable. idols don’t get everything they want on a silver platter, that’s quite obvious. the entire interview just felt cookie cutter to me, it didn’t help me get to know jiyun as a character at all. i didn’t see her personality shine through. that’s all i really have to say, thanks for applying!

hi, jenni c: finally, an older character! i thought everybody was 19 or 20 years old, jesus. even by just skimming the style, i can already get the feel like she’s a model… so, kudos. love those shoes doe. the quote is so fitting and i love it. it really goes along with her personality. she’s a total confident character who craves attention on the outside, but someone who “can easily get her feelings hurt” on the inside… sounds cliche, but the way you wrote it made it sound okay. LOL she was a perfect christian kid who moved away behind her parents’ back and then became a model to rebel against her parents. brilliant. fantastic. “pretty much had a menbung” can i cry at the 2ne1 reference. when i was reading your backstory, at first, i thought you meant kang seung hyun the singer (but then i realized his name was seung yoon, not seung hyun) and that it was a guy, but then it turned out to be a girl. hwat. how do you even listen to coup de tat before bed, like it’s techno music and like no why how-- i like how you elaborated on her ISH part (intelligence, sociality, household) and why she has the numbers she does. thank you for explaining. jaehyun’s personality (in my opinion) is phenomenal, i really like how you wrote him. i really like jaehyun as a character, so good job. like, wow. LOL THE FIRST IMPRESSION. she hugged him and he freaked out like “westerners greeting gdi” LOL i laughed really hard at that. ok, so overall, i really liked your application. thanks for applying!

hi jay! sorry it took so long to review your app! i’m just gonna get straight to the point. i love kim jiwon a lot and i’m glad somebody chose her! i felt like you could’ve added more to the style part, as it seemed all over the place and a bit rushed(?). but i got the gist of it. how can she be a good listener but be annoying, by the way? if she’s annoying, wouldn’t she tend to just keep going on and not care about what the other person is saying? just my opinion. also, in the background, what’s a “haves” family? LOL i love in her habits how you said “she can’t sleep quietly like a princess”, that was cute. the interview section was adorable too; “/sneeze” AHAHA. that’s all i really have to say, and wow lots of scene requests!! thank you for applying!
