☾ NOT LOVE SPRING OR CHERRY BLOSSOMS ☾

☼Personality : Jieun is a bit serious until she feels comfortable around you. She's very strong emotionally, but can be a bit blunt or insensitive. It's all part of her charm, though? She's also a bit stubborn and can be immature. She strives to make everyone better than they are, including herself. She's a very hard worker and a major perfectionist. Neat and organized, she's the kind who does all her summer work on the first day and emails her teachers for extra problems. Needless to say, she's extremely smart. When she's been all sugared up or feels comfortable in the environment, she's much looser and can have a lot more fun. She makes a lot of bad jokes and puns no matter how she's feeling, though. It's just a piece of her competitive and slightly childish side!
☾On stage personality : Usually, Jieun would have had some sugary dessert before appearing in public because that's what makes her more fun to be around. On stage, she appears to be energetic and friendly like any other idol. If she somehow forgets to have something sugary, she's more cynical and serious. However, she still will try her best to be charismatic because she really wanted to be an idol since she was young. Even without a ton of sugar, she'll still make people laugh with her terrible jokes.
☼Off stage personality : She's definitely more mellow and calm. Her jokes will never go away. However, she is a lot less peppy offstage. More 'normal'. It's not an instant change, though. Whenever the sugar wears off or her instincts automatically kick in because something's weird is when she returns to her serious and ignorant self. For the first few minutes after it wears off, she goes into this hyper-aware mode where it's better to not disturb her until she approaches you.
☾Background : Jieun is only four years younger than her older brother and fellow labelmate Kim Hyojong, also known as E'Dawn. Their parents were there for sure, but they weren't really involved and the kids were often left to entertain themselves. She always thought that that Hyojong was the coolest and would do whatever he did when they were younger. The same is true today, to an extent. Instead of it being a kind of innocent obsession, it grew to a good competition. When he became a trainee at CUBE, Jieun decided that she wanted to become an idol as well. She finished up high school in 2013 and began at Seoul National University that fall. Taking as many classes as she could, her school career finished in 2017. She took vocal lessons and later auditioned at CUBE in the beginning of 2016. She was accepted and immediately became a trainee.
☼Trivia :
- Jieun graduated from Seoul National University as the second best in her class and number six overall
- Her IQ is between 150 and 160
- If Jieun doesn't do well in MERAKI as a girl group member (or if she doesn't win a spot in the group itself), she will most likely become a solo artist due to the current average age of the CUBE trainees
- Jieun wants to be in a duet with her brother if she loses in MERAKI
- According to the other CUBE trainees, she's the most vigorous when it comes to training
- They also say that she's the most open to helping others but takes it really seriously if someone does ask her to help
- The one thing she doesn't simply absorb is English. In fact, Jieun is bad with most languages
- She's not really flexible
- She and E'Dawn could talk for hours on end about the weirdest, most abstract topics completely seriously
- Before deciding to take up singing, Jieun had played the viola for seven years
- She's a total homebody
☾Likes :
- Despite her tough personality, she's a big sucker for cliches and dramas
- Jieun loves listening to chamber music. It always calms her down
- She likes soft things
- She also loves fruits
- Sleeping in
- Penguins, pandas, and polar bears
- Sweets
☼Dislikes :
- Vegetables
- Clocks that tick
- Slackers
- Tights
- Slippers

- Seeing others call her brother things like a 'crackhead'

☾ YANGHWA BRIDGE ☾

☼What would break your character entirely?
Somehow losing her connection with her brother. Or if he were to end up hiding something from her and turn against her completely? That'd be pretty rough.
☾What was the best moment in your character's life?
When Hyojong acknowledged her abilities (he had asked to be at her audition as well). He told her that she was really good afterward, and treated her for ramyun.
☼What was the worst moment in your character's life?
She had the flu in sixth grade and it was absolute hell for her. She's really studious so having to miss school and feeling like crap was torture.
☾What insignificant memories stuck with your character?
Graduating from Seoul National University was a good one
On this particular day, she was jostled by her peers for deciding to become a trainee
On another day, a lot of people kept asking Jieun if E'Dawn was a drug addict
☼Any fears your character has?
She's terrified of insects, rodents, and reptiles
She's also terrified of being anywhere by herself after dark
☾Why did your character join MERAKI?
She wants to succeed and be able to compete against her brother, honestly. And because CUBE currently isn't doing anything with their older trainees, she thought that this would be a good chance.
☼Does your character think they can win? Why or Why not
Honestly, Jieun doesn't really care about whether or not she wins or loses. She doesn't really think about it. But she tries her best because she realizes that even if you have talent if you don't try you won't be going anywhere.
☾Message to the other trainees : "I know I'm pretty old compared to the rest of you, but I think that that should just inspire you all to keep reaching for your dreams. But I do plan on winning this, so I hope you all have some backup plans!"
☼Message to the "national producers" : "I want to win. I'm giving my all because I have a dream that will take me much longer to achieve if I don't win this show."
☾Message to me : meh nothing really about Jieun. She's pretty competitive with E'Dawn but otherwise else she's just pretty stubborn and serious. Anyways, if you need any help with making things like line distributions I can help lol
