『Yes or Yes』

↬background:

	↠ Eunseo grew up the middle child of three. Although she is the middle child she was always the parent of the group, most likely due to her older brothers dedication to school and the family business. Since she was young she helped around the family hotel - cooking, cleaning and tending to the guests. This taught her an immense amount of responsibility and gave her a good work ethic. She also got the job of entertaining the guests in the evenings, this sparked her love of performing. Although she was always very nervous to get on stage the feeling of rapping and dancing for an audience and being able to capture them made it all worth it.

	↠ Though she worked hard at school she never really succeeded, always remaining in the middle of the class rankings. She was always in the shadow of her older brother, an incredibly smart and sporty young woman, this dented young Eunseo’s self-confidence, something she still hasn’t been able to build back up.

	↠ Eunseo always took care of her siblings when their parents were busy with the hotel or at hospitality conferences, this helped her become the mature and caring young woman she is today. She was very hesitant to leave Andong, her family and all she had ever known to chase she dream of being a performer, she was scared that she would fail and disappoint her family, but her parents and brothers encouraged her and eventually she went. Their unending love and support still motivates her to this day. She began training at SM in May 2014 and was a rising star among the trainees for her rapping ability. She trained with NCT and Red Velvet and watched all the people she trained with get the chance at debut something she was never given, again and again she was passed over.

	↠ When MIXNINE was announced Eunseo jumped at the opportunity and so she was sent, the only SM rookie to be chosen, this put a target on her back for the other trainees, the coaches and the producers. She was quickly eliminated after scathing reviews from the coaches. Her small but loyal group of fans were outraged by the unnecessarily harsh criticism from the coaches on MIXNINE but there wasn’t much they could do.

	↠ She came back to SM with her confidence in ruins and hope shattered. Eunseo considered leaving the agency, but a quick trip home proved to her that she no longer belonged in the small family hotel and she quickly returned to Seoul more determined than ever. She auditioned constantly until she found and joined Midnight Music ent. in April 2018.

『Playing With Fire』

↬ personality:
	↠ Caring – Eunseo grew up in a household full of love and care, for each other and every guest who stayed at their hotel. She was taught everyone deserves love and care. Although she doesn't show it very much she takes great care of her members and helps BUTTERFLY out as the father of the group.

	↠ Mature – Eunseo spent her early life taking care of her siblings, both her older and younger brother, and helping around the house and hotel. This has led to her being a very mature and responsible adult.

	↠ Hard working- Because Eunseo started working at such a young age she developed an incredibly strong work ethic and doesn’t give up easily. She constantly works to better herself at everything he does.

	↠ Responsible – Eunseo has become responsible thanks to the amount of responsibility put on her at such a young age. She grew up with responsibilities and obligations that have taught her how to function under pressure and how to be a responsible and sensible adult.

	↠  Charismatic - Eunseo is very charismatic on stage and can capture an audiences attention without even lifting a finger. She also has an incredible presence on camera as well. Eunseo knows how to work a crowd and camera, getting their attention and keeping it.

	↠ Perfectionist – Eunseo has always been a perfectionist, although in recent years it has gotten to be damaging. She always tried to do her best but now she constantly tears herself down when she does anything other than the best. It has gotten to the point that Eunseo struggles to feel proud of her work and always feels she should have done better. This can lead to her being very harsh in judgement of others performance or work – this is never meanspirited.

	↠ Harsh – Because she is the oldest she does her best to help BUTTERFLY make sure everything is running smoothly and all the members are doing the best they can, this paired with her perfectionism make her rather harsh in judgement. She doesn’t mean to be rude or uncaring but she has to set aside the members feelings and focus on the group at times of critique.

	↠ Stoic – Eunseo doesn’t open-up easily, because she comes from a very busy family Eunseo was never one to talk about her feelings, not wanting to take away precious rest time from her parents or brothers. This has led to her bottling things up and never sharing her struggles or worries. She never shows her struggles in front of the members and always tries to keep a game face on, none of the members have seen her cry. (it would be nice if she could develop a relationship with BUTTERFLY where she feels okay to share her insecurities with them)

	↠ Self-Conscious - Eunseo struggles with self-confidence issues and is constantly thinking about her public image. Since she was young she was always in her brothers shadow and that damaged her self-esteem, she was always Kang Eunsung’s little sister not her own person. The one refuge she had was performance but MIXNINE took that away. This combined with her perfectionism can be a deadly combination and she worries a LOT about her performances. (I think it would be nice for her to overcome this over the course of the story)
