background ; Jiyoung grew up as Jay (sometimes referred to as Kang because some students got confused and though Kang was her first name) in the UK. She was born and raised in London, UK. She was a big personality in her primary school and secondary school because she was part of many different after school clubs like the dance club, netball and basketball team and drama club. In school she was voted "Most likey to become movie star" because of her big and boisterous personality. When she turned 18, her mum became ill and she had to spend her time looking after her mum.
Contrary to popular belief British men aren't these charming men you see portrayed on television and Jiyoung has had some unfortunate encounters with them. A lot of them are sleazy drunkards who don't seem to know their left from right. She has had on and off flings with a lot of them which she says was poor judgement on her part but she was feeling lonely and stressed out and needed somewhere to release all of that.
When she was 25, her mother passed away due to heart failure. This devastated her and put her in a really bad place and that is when she heard of the show. She signed up to forget and separate herself from her painful home life. If you would like to know, her dad left them a 2 weeks after she was born for another woman.

trivia ;

+ She is ambidextrous.
+ She has a history of dancing and gymnastics. When she turned 18, she and her friends went to her gymnastics class where she and the teacher taught them how to pole dance. She is tired of the stigma that pole dancing gets because it is a very difficult but beautiful form of dance. She also knows how to swing dance, tap dance, hip hop and whaacking. As well as these areas of dancing, she can also give a mean lap dance but this is usually when she is drunk.

personality ;

+ 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.
+ Sharp-tongued; she can be quite quick to make snappy remarks and insults. She can be very harsh and rude with the way she speaks. She is usually like this when someone has done something that has seriously annoyed her.
+ Loyal; no matter what, she will stick by you and she will have your back even in the worst situations. She is one of the most loyal friends you could have since she didn’t really have any supportive friends in Korea.

+ 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.

ʚ SERENDIPITY ɞ

why are they on the show ? ; She has always wanted a partner however, she just hasn't had enough time on her hands. She would often have flings with random people just to keep herself "sane" but she now wanted a serious relationship. Since she had to look after her mum, she wasn't able to dedicate time to her love life. After her mum died she needed someone by her side however, she was an only child. She joined the show as a way to escape her painful home life and hopefully find a life-long partner.

ideal type ; Someone who has a passion and doesn't just breeze through life as well as being a healthy person. Also someone who can cook and is tall. 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. Sometimes she will just climb on them and straddle them and she wants them to be ready when that happens. Someone who is street smart and also someone who gives those comfortable bear hugs.
