Background:
Minseo was born and raised in Croydon, South London. Growing up in Croydon meant that you had to be strong and ready for the worst. It is known in England as a very dangerous town in London due to the number of murders, stabbings and robberies that happen there. Although this was going on, she had a very nice time living in Croydon. She had a lot of friends and she knew a lot of people, this meant that she had some sort of protection if she ever came into any danger.
From a young age, her parents encouraged her to be active and so as a result, she got into dance, gymnastics, athletics and swimming. She was someone who was always doing something. She had a very busy schedule and so this meant she was often getting home late. On Mondays, she did athletics club in school, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, she did dance, on Wednesdays, she did gymnastics and on Fridays and sometimes Sundays, she did gymnastics. She was only ever free on Saturdays and that was if she didn't have some kind of dance competition or swimming gala.
In school, she was known by everyone and was quite the popular one. She didn't have a specific friendship group but she just drifted between whichever group she wanted. Her bestfriend at the time didn't go to the same school as her but they were still close however, as she got older, they soon lost contact until they stopped speaking altogether.
When she got to university (in Korea, she moved when she was 16 years old), she majored in performing arts so this included dance, acting and singing. She kept up her fitness regime and would often go to the gym or do home workouts. She learnt how to cook in university and this was mainly because she wanted to be able to make her own healthy meals.
In university, she also got her first boyfriend. They were together for almost 2 years and had all their firsts together, however, they broke up as they started both started to lose the initial attraction that they shared. It was a mutual break up with no hard feelings from either party. Though they were not together, they had on and off hookups.
When she was 19, almost 20, she decided to audition for a company even though she already knew that she was doing it quite late. She audtioned with I will go to you like the first snow by Ailee and she choreographed her own dance to Pony by Ginuwine. Minseo was fortunate enough to be accepted into the company despite the late age she auditioned. After quite a few years of training, she was finally given the opportunity to debut.

Personality:
{+} Generous; she likes sharing things with people because if she doesn’t then she would feel selfish. Also her parents always told her to be generous.
{+} Flirty; she is a pretty flirty girl and will lightly brush your arm to show her interest or lean on you or grab on to your bicep but that doesn’t mean that she will give herself up that easily. She just likes to have a little fun.
{+} Humourous; she has got a really good sense of humour and can easily make people laugh with her really witty jokes. She also has a major dirty mind. She will not hesitate to make a dirty comment or joke about something someone accidentally said or did.
{+} Confident; she does not easily get embarrassed in public and will act the same in public as she does at home or with some friends.
{+} Straight-forward; she likes to address issues head on instead of just beating about the bush or trying to put it off. Also if she has a problem with something her fans are doing, she will tell them to stop, not in a rude way but she will tell them. This can be viewed as a bit negative though as some people may find her insensitive. However, people also like how real she is with them.
{+} Shameless; she doesn't care about what other people think of her or her actions. She tends to act in a way that is unusual in Korea since it is a very conservative country. To many people, her behaviour would be seen as unacceptable or unusual but she doesn't mind, she is glad to be different. Infront of cameras, she is the same as she is off-camera.
{+} Impulsive; she tends to act before she thinks which can sometimes lead to some horrible decisions however, it has also led her to some of the best decisions of her life.
{+} Leader-like; she is very good at controlling a large group of people and can take control of tricky situations. In tense moments, she is able to keep a level head and work out a good solution. She pays attention to the needs of her members and makes sure that her members are happy and healthy. She is very good at communicating new ideas.

Face Claim: Kim Chungha

Backup Face Claim: Lee Yuna [(Brave Girls) I think she would really suit the role however even though she isn't on the recommened face claims list, you don't have to use her though :P]

Ideal Type:
Someone who has a passion and doesn't just breeze through life. Someone who is healthy. Someone who can cook. She just wants someone who is respectful and has a good sense of humour. A bonus for her is if they are able to accept her fowardness because sometimes she can be a bit explicit about what she wants and says because she wouldn't want someone naive or innocent. Someone who is street smart and also someone who gives those comfortable bear hugs. Someone who cares about personal hygiene and always smells nice.
