Kang Jin Ae
Gender/Role
Female 3
Crush
None, really. But she may have developed some feelings for a guy in school named Lee Sang-Min.
Hidden Talent
Singing.
Jin Ae always loved to do arts such as acting, dancing, painting, but most of all singing. Ever since she was young, she always had a habit of singing when she was either feeling sad, happy, excited, etc. and still sings in the shower. She has a very wide range and excells in high notes which most people can’t really do. Her voice is also loud and powerful but can be pretty soft as well depending on the song. Not too many people know about her voice because she’s always been too shy about singing in public (people only know about her playing the ukulele and piano). Although only a few friends and family know about it, Jin Ae has always wanted to show off her voice to the public. She just never had the courage or confidence to do so and plans on finally letting the world hear her at the talent showcase.

Appearance
Jin Ae has a pale complexion with a very slight tan and has caramel brown hair that ends right past her shoulders with front, even bangs and shorter strands of hair framing her face. Rarely does she ever have split-ends or flyaways since she takes care of her hair everyday, seeing as she values it very much and donates it whenever her hair gets too long and she needs a new hair cut. Her lips are thin yet slightly plumped and are a natural light pink color. She stands at 5’4” and weighs around 120 lbs. She has a petite, slender body with curves that fit her perfectly; not too big but not too small either to the extent that she looks like a walking stick. She has perfectly straight, white teeth-thanks to her braces in sixth grade- but doesn't like to smile with them that much. Her eyes are almond shaped with thin, medium-length eyelashes. She dislikes her eyes the most because of its very dark shade of brown, making her eyes look completely black and boring.
Sexual Orientation
Pansexual
Personality
Jin Ae is usually cooperative (if you don't bother her) but can be quite stubborn sometimes. She's also independant and doesn't like asking for help that much. She is usually quiet but talks when neccassary (or panicked) and is actually pretty nice (when she wants to be) once you get to know her but she doesn’t take shit from anybody. She usually has a lot of patience, too. If you start getting on her nerves, though, she’ll give you some type of warning to let you know when to stop. But if you continue, she won’t be afraid to hurt you... Oh, and she can also be very competitive and doesn’t like being underestimated either- which happens a lot because of her petite figure and girly appearance.
Despite her looks, Jin Ae has trouble with people sometimes since she doesn’t really like too much attention. She often has a habit of telling people to go away or leave her alone. She’s had a pretty tough childhood so she envies others’ happiness with thedir parents sometimes. She also prefers watching drama by the sidelines rather than being involved in it. She’s actually quite confident too but not when it comes to her talents. She has stage fright and she wants to overcome that fear by auditioning for Ice Entertainment.
Is Jin Ae capable of fun? Maybe... Not really. She doesn’t have a very good sense of humor and rarely laughs for some unknown reason. She barely shows any emotion, too, but that depends on who she’s around. If anything, she hates it when people beat around the bush and is pretty straight forward herself. She doesn’t really care what others think of her nor does she care how others feel. If it has nothing to do with her, why should she?

Feelings about failed trainees returning to school
Jin Ae didn’t really care much about the students leaving for certain entertainments but did have a twinge of jealousy. She actually did admire them for having what she lacked, though; confidence in showing their talents. Truthfully, she was somewhat proud of them since they went to the same school but wasn’t too elated for their achievement since she wasn’t too close with any of them except her cousin. Once she found out they were coming back, she was utterly disappointed in them since they had brought shame upon their school. Even though she knew she she’d probably be competing with some of them at the auditions, she can’t help but wish them luck so they could redeem themselves. But as for now, she doesn’t want anything that has to do with them, excluding her cousin.

Quirks and Extra
Jin Ae often tells people that she’s allergic to cinnamon although that’s a total lie since she isn’t allergic to anything. She just doesn’t like the taste and the smell irritates her nose. She is also a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and loves watching action movies.
Jin Ae tends to write on her hands, too, whenever she comes across a pen that she likes. She doesn't like it when people take pictures of her either and always says that she's not photogenic. She only likes taking pictures of herself because it highly aggrivates her when people don't delete ugly pictures they take of her. That's one of the reasons why she absolutely despises the camera men on picture day. The other is because they always think they're funny, trying to make you laugh or smile with your teeth and whatnot.
Jin Ae likes to wear baggy tops with either shorts, skinny jeans, or leggings. She owns lots of hoodies and sweaters and multiple pairs of shoes to match each outfit she wears, too. She prefers to wear bright and vibrant colors even though it makes her all the more noticable in a crowd, which is something she doesn't like about her choice of clothing. She doesn't really like to wear anything too formal and only owns a dress or two and a couple more hanboks passed on from her grandmother. Even though she has lots of shorts, she doesn't own a single skirt.
Jin Ae had been playing piano since she was four- forced by her grandmother just to get something out of the "mistake". Fortunately, she found it quite enjoyable. She also knows how to play the ukulele and is recently teaching herself how to play the guitar, too, but can only play a few songs. There are still many other chords she has yet to master.
Bio
Jin Ae is half Japanese and Korean; daughter of Kang Tae Moo and Kurenai Akitoki. Her mother was a prostitute and Jin Ae was made from a one night stand. Not wanting to have anything to do with her, Kurenai abandoned Jin Ae with Tae Moo since she ruined her career due to her pregnancy. Still being a teenager when Jin Ae was born, Tae Moo had no idea how to take care of her until Kurenai came back. They took care of Jin Ae together for a few months until Tae Moo figured out that Kurenai only wanted to stay with him for his money and told her to get lost, struggling with Jin Ae even more. Upset, he went to his parents for some advice and they were highly disappointed in him and embarrassed that he was their son. They told Tae Moo that it was his responsibility and his own fault that this whole mess had happened. Pitying their son, they bought him a little trailer to live in but told him that the rest was all his to take care of.
You'd think he'd have some of his friends to support him; but that wasn't the case here. After a few more months, Tae Moo lost his friends and couldn’t find a job. He was unemployed, only having his parents for some source of money to at least manage with electricity and water. He was already having trouble taking care of himself and having another mouth to feed wasn’t any better. He then commited suicide a few weeks right before Jin Ae’s seventh birthday. From then on, Jin Ae had lived with her grandparents whom weren’t so happy about it (mostly her grandmather; her grandfather got over it much quicker than she did), and blamed her for their son’s death. They treated her harshly at first and were very judgemental since her biological mother slept with men for money and always looked down on her. Some of the students at school didn't help either due to children calling her names 'cause their parents warned them about her mother. Because of this, Jin Ae often got into many fights until her grandparents enrolled her in Tae Kwon Do.
She’s always felt alone and never really experienced real, genuine happiness before until she experienced her first family reunion. She got along with many cousins, including Daehyun. His mother also persuaded her gragndmother to treat her better, since “Jin Ae is Jin Ae and Kurenai is Kurenai. They may be share the same blood but they are two completely different people.”
