Yeonhee is an idol under Prime that debuted with AEON as the “Athena”. She has made her name in the business as “The Nation’s Lady” which we can say has been called into question given her actions upon the set of Train to Busan in the past few weeks. Yeonhee is playing Jin-hee, the love interest of Yong-guk who is played by G-ZER0’s Jamie Jung, while Nam Euntae is playing the lead role of Seok-woo.

The clean image of the idol has been part of what has kept her and her group afloat, as well as the clean images of the other idols within the group. But sources say she has been seen a little too close to Mirage actor Nam Euntae on the set, and their behavior towards each other is being called into question. The couple had been seen back in 2011 together a bit more than the usual, but no rumors had surfaced because everyone had higher standards for Yeonhee. Yet, with them being casted into the same upcoming movie, sources have said that the two of them have been hanging around each other a lot more lately, and they even feel the two of them might be hiding something from the public. Others say they are just being friendly cast members, as they were only brought together again by the movie.

While Yeonhee has been held as one of the cleanest idols so far, and a scandal like this could make or break her career given it is being held on her record. Train to Busan is planning to promote on May the 2nd and premiering on May the 13th.

Do you think Yeonhee’s career is on the line with this kind of scandal arising? And do you think her and Euntae have something they’re hiding? Share you opinion below!

IC INFORMATION

Faceclaim: Kim Seolhyun Name: Moon Yeonhee Stage name (if applicable): N/A Idol concept: Yeonhee’s concept had always been elegance. Whether it was when she was in the two ex-groups or with AEON. Elegance and intelligence was what Yeonhee was marketed to be. While that is true to her personality, Yeonhee feels like she always has to uphold that elegance and find it hard to perform well on variety shows, feeling awkward despite loving the idea of being able to showcase her skills on the piano and with ballet. Dubbed as the Nation’s Lady by fans, Yeonhee feels quite the opposite as privately, she’s quite an extrovert and loves being silly whenever she could. Birth date and age: 15.05.1995, 21 (Going onto 22) Company name: Prime Group Name (if applicable): AEON Group Position (if applicable): Athena (Main Vocalist, Visual) Strengths: Singing and dancing are Yeonhee’s forte. She especially good with music, having been playing the piano and the violin from a young age. She does ballet but has dabbled in other genres of dance and since becoming an idol, Yeonhee has become a Kpop dance encyclopedia, knowing almost every dance (most just the chorus or point dance). Weaknesses: Yeonhee is especially bad with variety. Because of the lady-like image that she has to uphold, Yeonhee holds herself back when on variety shows. She would gladly perform a song or dance but if she was asked to act silly on camera (dance weirdly, pulling faces, etc.), Yeonhee would hesitate. Positive traits: Intelligent, observant, compassionate Negative traits: Boring (on shows), forgetful, picky

PERSONAL HISTORY

Born on May 15th, 1995, Yeonhee is the third child in the family with two older sisters. She was born in Busan, South Korea, but Yeonhee’s family soon moved to England where her mother’s career flourished. Her father is a humble businessman who works a normal nine to five job while her mother is a world renowned ballerina, scouted to join The Royal Ballet shortly after Yeonhee’s birth.

Coming from a line of ballerinas, it was only natural for Yeonhee to take up the dance too. At a young age of three, Yeonhee started practicing alongside her older sisters. Every night before bedtime, Yeonhee would be forced to do a series of stretching by her mother which she had learnt to hate and even cried about it, in hopes that her mother would stop making her learn ballet.

Their maternal grandmother (A popular ex-prima ballerina in Seoul with her own ballet school) was their personal teacher (she lived with them for a few years in England). Ever since Yeonhee started, her grandmother never believed that she was born with talents for ballet and instead, focused more on making her two older sisters prima ballerina material. Still, Yeonhee persevered with the dance (despite hating it initially), hoping that her grandmother would one day recognise her hard work.

When it became clear that Yeonhee was not gaining her grandmother’s approval with ballet, Yeonhee picked up the piano at the age of six, having classes in school. Whenever her school held a piano recital or a concert, Yeonhee would invite her grandmother to watch but not once did her grandmother ever turn up. In fact, only her eldest sister would come and watch her, occasionally with their father. At eight, Yeonhee fell in love with the idea of playing the violin and started learning too, skipping a few grades at the beginning.

For ten years or so, the Moon family lived in England before Yeonhee’s mother finally retired from ballet, teaching at her own mother’s ballet school. Yeonhee’s mother and grandmother often argued over whether or not Yeonhee should continue with ballet. Her mother insisted that Yeonhee’s hard work would carry her if she was to pursue a career in ballet but her grandmother still firmly believed that Yeonhee was not born for ballet.

Now back in Korea, Yeonhee was finding it hard to make friends at school because her Korean was not fluent and when she did speak, she spoke with an accent. The kids in her class would make fun of her, resulting in Yeonhee spending most of her school time sitting by herself quietly and becoming quite recluse, even at home. In ballet classes, because Yeonhee had been learning from her grandmother and mother, she was far too advanced for classes meant for students her age and was instead, placed in an older class where she was still the outcast for being younger than everyone else. When she did try to make friends with them, they rejected her because they thought she only made it into their class through connections.

Yeonhee’s eldest sister was her anchor. She was the one who comforted the youngest, told her not to work herself too hard or worry about having to earn recognition from just one person. She told Yeonhee that ballet was not the only option because she could see that while Yeonhee loved the dance, she had no passion for it. Despite what their mother wanted, Yeonhee should never do something just to please someone else.

Since then, Yeonhee took a step back from ballet. Instead of intensively training like her sisters, she went to class twice a week and started to focus more on her piano and violin playing. It was clear that Yeonhee was more interested in music than ballet at this point.

Yeonhee was scouted by a company from a video that her sister posted online of Yeonhee playing the piano and singing. Her sister was the one who took her to the audition and when she was accepted into the company, her sister was the first to tell everyone they knew that her little sister was going to be a star.

Her trainee period was tough but Yeonhee kept with it, not wanting to disappoint her sister who gave the most support. When she first debuted, Yeonhee thanked her sister first. When she left the group, her sister was Yeonhee’s shoulder to cry on. Even through the next debut in another group and eventually leaving, her sister believed in Yeonhee.
