[ ☆ ] How do they act around the other AND residents? Is there anyone they are particularly close with or wish to be?

-- When Shinhye is at the company building and surrounded by the other AND Entertainment residents, the twenty-four year old acts like she is suppose to: courteous and professional. When she is not on the clock but sees them out and about in Seoul, she treats them just like she would treat anybody else: with kindness and a friendly, warm smile.

[ ☆ ] What other abilities are your characters good at? Are they tech-savvy? Athletic? Maybe inhumanly intelligent? Name some and why they decided to go with their opted career instead.

-- For the most part, Shinhye likes to think that she is a well rounded person who, surprisingly enough, has other interests other than her chosen career as a publicist for AND Entertainment. For example, just to name a few things, she is either quite skilled in or heavily enjoys the following things:

Athletic: She may only stand approximately 5'5" (168cm), but don't let that fool you. As someone who grew up loving sports and even participated in a few games / matches, Shinhye is surprisingly athletic. Rather than become a professional athlete, she mostly just trains and plays for recreational purposes as a last minute addition.

Culinary: For someone who loves to eat a lot, it kind of goes hand in hand that she would also love to cook and bake as well. Sure, she never went to culinary school to learn how to cook and bake, but who needs to pay for the fancy lessons when she can just learn some (of the best) home made recipes for free from her omma?

Dancing: It all started when she was a young girl, her mother enrolled her in a couple of lessons at a dance studio in order to help fix her posture. Although she was against it at first, she soon found it to be most enjoyable -- often dancing the night away either freestyle or a choreography with her friends. She just does it for fun.

Singing: Unless you've heard her in the showers or seen her (most likely intoxicated) singing at a KTV bar, you wouldn't know that Shinhye can sing. Working in the industry that she works in now, she's too self conscious to sing in front of others unless she's down some liquid courage. That's why she leaves it to the professionals.

Tech-savvy: It comes to now surprise that Shinhye is extremely tech-savvy. As someone with a degree in Media Journalism and Mass Communications, her entire career revolves around computers. This is why she knows how to fix and operate them with little to no trouble at all. However, tech support isn't really her thing.

[ ☆ ] What is their religion background? What are they now? Do they attend church regularly or not at all? What is their favorite and least favorite aspect of having a religion or not?

-- Ever since she was a child, Shinhye has always been a christian. Born into a family that believed in Christianity, her entire religious upbringing revolved around the notion that there was only one God and that he gave his son to the Virgin Mary in order for all of mankind to have their sins forgiven and a chance to go to Heaven.

-- Although she is a firm believer in her faith, Shinhye doesn't attend church regularly. With her busy work schedule it's hard for her to attend services on Sunday and the bible study during the rest of the week. However, she does go out of her way to attend important programs such as Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, etc as those are religious significant events.

-- One of her favorite aspects about having a religion is that it gives her something to believe in. That there is always room for forgiveness and that all good deeds will be recognized on judgement day when the Lord comes to take his children home into heaven.

[ ☆ ] Write a letter as your character to their 13-year-old self.

Dearest Thirteen Year old Shinhye,

            For whatever the reason, I cannot for the life of me recall how things were when I was your age.. I must admit that worries me a little since that was nearly a decade ago... Has my memory declined since then? Dear god I hope not.

            Regardless, I would presume that life back then as a 13 year old is nothing like how my life is right now. Oh, perhaps I should mention that today is July 26, 2O14 and before you say, it I already know what you are thinking. No, I am not that old and no, cutting your hair short will not be worth it since it will take forever for your hair to grow out..

            I’m not exactly sure what I’m suppose to write about or how all of this works exactly, but I suppose I can tell you about how life is going for us when we’re twenty-four years old. It’s a little crazy to think about but you have a creative imagination so let me humor you for a bit, Shinhye.

            After completing and graduating from Seoul Young-Pa Girls' High School, we end up getting into and attending Chung-Ang University. There we major in Media Journalism with a minor in Mass Communication. So if omma ask why do we keep writing nonsense in our journal, you can just laugh and tell her that it’ll be worth it in the end.

            Anyway, after graduating from the university, we go into journalism working as a reporter with a well known newspaper company. We do that for a few years until you do some more freelance writing and eventually leave the press world and go into public relations.

            Eventually you’ll become hired by And Entertainment and work as a publicist. You will also end up moving into a studio apartment (go figure) in Hongdae at a complex called Cheonguk Apartments. Let’s just say your life will be fun there.

[ ☆ ] Relationships and sex are a taboo in the kpop industry, but what is your character’s ideal partner like? What traits must they possess and what characteristics would they need to kick out the door? How do they feel about skinship? What is your character’s sexual orientation? Do they struggle with it? Are they a virgin? Turn ons and turn offs in bed?

General Facts

Marital Status: Single and uninterested. Significant other: Unavailable at this time.

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual / straight. Overall Preference: People of the male gender.

OTHER Does she currently have any children?: No. Does she currently have her virginity: Yes.

Ideal Partner

-- It's hard for Shinhye to describe her 'ideal partner' since she isn't exactly sure what she wants or what kind of person she is interested in. This is why it's rather difficult for her to explain to others as to what type of guy would be her ideal partner. So for now, she simply keeps her dating options open just to see if anyone interesting comes her way.

-- However, some traits they must posses would probably be they have to be taller than her, have to be a hard worker with a steady job, and also have good relations with his family. Some characteristics that she isn't exactly too particular about would be they having a history of violence, laziness with no job, and if they are a complete and total jerk overall.

Other Information

-- When it comes to skinship, whether she is on the giving or receiving, Shinhye doesn't mind it at all. So long as she's comfortable with her significant other or with someone close she doesn't mind being, for lack of better words, a little touchy feely. That's just another way for her to express her complete and total adoration for someone without going to bed with them.

Turn Ons

A secret hopeless romantic type of persona.

Having a good, well toned, bodily physique.

Someone who knows how to wear a suit well.

Turn Offs

Being ignored or brushed off to the side.

Only interested in / want sexual activities.

[ ☆ ] What is their opinion on drugs? Have they experimented themselves? What about alcohol? How do they act when intoxicated? Have they ever been caught or arrested on charges relating to them? 

-- Call it her own personal preference, but Shinhye doesn't like the idea of using drugs in order to 'feel' something. This is why she doesn't do any nor has she ever experimented with them whether it be to feel good or to forget a painful memory. However, while she isn't keene on personal usage, she doesn't judge anyone who does. After all, it's none of her concern unless they make it her business (i.g. a company employee gets caught using drugs at the club).

-- When it comes to alcohol, the publicist does indulge in drinking as it's a great way to break the ice in a social gathering. The only downside of Shinhye drinking, however, is that she is essentially a lightweight-- a one shot wonder if you will. Whenever she drinks, she uses the liquor as a sort of liquid courage. Rather than being reckless or a complex drink, she can actually handle herself well... with the exception of talking a lot more than she should.

[ ☆ ] Food and drinks! Who doesn’t love it? Name their favorites and least favorites. Main dishes, desserts, comfort food, pastries, starbucks order. What about their favorite Korean street food?

Food and Drinks

-- If eating were a hobby and sport, Shinhye would excel at it calling herself a professional eater. With a insatiable appetite the twenty-four year old loves to eat.
