NOW PLAYING ──

[▶] Clip 1: Scaredy cat line playing a horror game on a livestream, but Eunjeong and Sujin can't stop swearing.

They hadn't even played 5 minutes of the game, yet Aina was already cowering in the back of the webcam, passing the mouse over to Sujin instead. Once their character reached an ominous looking black door, Su-Jin abruptly paused.

“There is no way I'm going inside.”

“Come on guys, it isn't even that scary-” Eunjeong snatched the mouse from Su-Jin and opened the door. Suddenly, a loud scream emerged from the computer's speakers- “FU**”

The room instead filled with their silent laughter and wheezing as they tried to recover from the jumpscare. Meanwhile, the live chat struggled to keep up with the amount of ‘ㅋㅋㅋ’ and ‘jajaja’ being spammed.

Two more jumpscares and a lot more swearing later, a staff member came into the room and hurriedly told them to end the live.

A few days later, Aina went live again, this time alone in her studio.

“Did you get scolded?” She giggles while hiding her face in her hands, “yeah the unnies got scolded a lot by our manager… I think they might be banned from going live.”

[▶] Clip 8: Nari is worryingly competitive during the pepero game.

“Hey. don't pull away from me no matter what.” Nari gave Aina an 'ok' gesture with her hands as she placed the chocolate stick between her lips.

“Okay, whenever you're ready.” The MC spoke from behind Nari and Aina, watching closely to make sure there was no foul play.

Nari and Aina moved towards each other with sudden haste, causing the members to let out a chorus of shocked gasps. For just a moment, Aina hesitated and began to laugh, but Nari kept going, causing them to kiss abruptly before falling apart.

The entire studio erupted into chaos.

“What?! Did you just kiss??” Someone yelled.

Aina looked defeated, lying on the floor and clutching her stomach as she let out a painful laugh.

“Hey! So what!" Nari jumped up with the crumb in her hands and kissed Sujin on the cheek.

Amongst all of the pandemonium, the MC just stood there, confused, and in silence.

[▶] Clip 12 + 13: Dambi being a homosexual on ‘Bi-Live’.*

*Bi-Live is what she calls her live streams.

"Have you ever given white day chocolates? No, I went to an all girls school.” She kept reading through the live comments absentmindedly, “I got a lot of Valentines Day chocolates, though.”

“Which idol is most your type? Oh-” she doesn't even take 2 seconds to think before answering-“fromis_9 Jiheon, she's so pretty.” Dambi chose to politely ignore the ‘I meant a male idol’ comment that shortly followed.

[▶] Clip 15: Aecha being interrogated by Jonathan on theKstarnextdoor for her compulsive butt spanking habits.

“This next one is for Aecha Noona. K-Butt sniper-” Nari, Haeun, and Dambi instantly burst out laughing.

“Wow. I had a feeling this was gonna to be talked about.” Nari jested while smiling.

“Yeah, it really needs to be brought up more. It's becoming troublesome.” Dam-Bi added with a straight face.

“We have multiple pictures of you touching the members butts, is there a magnet or…? What do you have to say for yourself?” Jonathan held up a collage of at least 20 pictures.

Aecha giggled nervously, pupils shaking as she scanned the paper. “Um, how do I respond to this?-" The studio audibly laughs around her- “their butt's are very satisfying to squeeze, like a fidget toy you know?” Her hands were squeezing the air in a very, *questionable* way.

“Ok, that's nice, but can you please put your hands down? I don't want our show to be rated 19+.”

Designated butt-obsessed member.

Her father is a maths teacher.

── ✒️ About Aecha

Warnings: Depression, ED

At age 15, Aecha somehow convinced her dad to take her and her friends to Seoul to audition for several entertainment agencies. Unfortunately, the only company she was accepted by was MISSMUSE Entertainment. It was a much smaller company than she wanted to join, but in her mind, one acceptance was better than none, and the earlier she became a trainee, the greater chance she had to debut.

In 2014, MME put her in the GRLZ HIGH lineup along with 6 other members. Initially, this was great news, but after an additional 6 months of training, MME announced last minute that they would debut GRLZ HIGH without Aecha. This made her very depressed and obsessed with becoming 'the perfect idol'. In order to achieve this, she began training to unhealthy amounts and starving herself to be, all while keeping it secret from her parents in fear of being sent back home.

Finally, Aecha graduated in 2016 and was simultaneously added to a special group of trainees who were planning to be added to GRLZ HIGH after two of the members abruptly left the group. Though the situation kind of rubbed her the wrong way, she was excited to finally have another chance of debuting.

The eventual disbandment of GRLZ HIGH hit Aecha pretty hard, not only because she once again had lost her chance of debuting, but also because she realised that four of the people whom she looked up to as her older sisters had been horrible people all along. This was pretty much Aecha's last straw, and she came very close to quitting the entertainment industry for good. It was Aina who, through a very dramatic and tearful confrontation, convinced her to stay. Eventually, in late 2017- early 2018, she was put in the line-up for NOVELLA, and, although she tried not to get her hopes up, her debut was pretty much guaranteed.

For a long time after her debut, her eating disorder continued to be a big problem, with her self-worth being largely dependent on her weight. She would often hide in bathrooms after long concerts and tours to hide her exhaustion from the members. She still struggles with it to this day, but she has also started working out/playing sports as a healthier method of keeping fit.

[dearnovella]

About GRLZ HIGH

GRLZ HIGH was a six member K-pop girl group that debuted under MISSMUSE Entertainment (now known as Storybook Entertainment) on the 21st of July 2014.

──

Warnings: Bullying, abuse, blackmail, scamming, hate messages, and cyberbullying.

──

The members consisted of;

Kim YUNA Dasom - 24* - Lead Vocal, Leader

Lee BinBin Bitna - 22 - Main Rapper, Lead Dancer

Kim Cherri Myung-Hee - 22 - Lead Rapper

Hwang MIA Da-Eun - 21 - Lead Dancer, Sub Vocal

Bae Haneul So-Hee - 20 - Main Dancer

Park Sena Byeol - 20 - Visual, Main Vocal

*Ages above are age at debut.

──

GRLZ HIGH tried multiple different concepts during their career, such as hip hop or cute concepts, but they were best known for their sexy-cute songs. The girls were not a household name by any means, but they were able to gain a modest fanbanse. This was largely due to MME spending the biggest portion of their funds on the group, even to the point where the CEO allegedly sold her private car to increase the budget of the ‘Heart Attack’ music video. However, GRLZ HIGH's successes were few and far between, and it was very difficult for them to secure any tv spots, let alone wins, as they were from an unknown company. Due to their lack of funds, the girls had to share a dingy two bedroom apartment with their manager and, along with the pressure of their struggling idol careers, this put a strain on the groups relationships.

Unbeknownst to the public, there was division within the group. YUNA, Cherri, BinBin and MIA were on one side, and Haneul and Sena were on the other. According to the other four, Haneul and Sena were unfairly favoured, both by fans and the company, for their visuals despite them being ‘the most untalented/laziest members’. Although there was no real proof of this, it sparked jealousy amongst the four causing them to treat the other two very poorly. Haneul and Sena were practically ran out of the group on the 12th of December 2015 when the bullying and mental abuse became too much to handle, resulting in the termination of their contracts. The two girls were blackmailed to keep silent using explicit personal images and evidence of them breaking company rules (leaving hotels, smoking, etc), but also the neglectful staff members, such as their manager who chose to ignore the obvious signs, meant that the higher ups were unaware of any bullying.

The group continued as 4 members after their departure, but there were a lot of rumours and confusion created in response to the sudden news. A controversial kpop news channel named ‘Seo-Yeon Holmes’ even made a YouTube video named ‘How to Catch a Bully’ which featured clips of several different kpop groups- one of which being GRLZ HIGH- and ultimately claimed that the videos were proof of bullying within the selected groups. This video blew up, and although some people defended the girls, claiming that the accusations were baseless and defamatory, GRLZ HIGH began to attract negative attention. The members were infuriated by this, and sent Haneul and Sena hate, both anonymously and directly, for trying to ‘sabotage’ the group.

Even when the accusations came out, MISSMUSE staff were generally very caring and supportive towards the members. YUNA decided to take advantage of this and ask for multiple ‘loans’ from managers and stylists. Obviously she never paid them back, since she was living of off an allowance, and it was eventually brought to the higher ups of the company. YUNA was silently put on hiatus, as an attempt to not stir up any more negative press. It wasn't until an ex-staff member spoke up online that the information was brought to the public. The news of the scamming once again threw GRLZ HIGH into the spotlight, but for all of the wrong reasons. MME originally planned to try continue GRLZ HIGH as three, but an anonymous source soon came out with allegations, and this time, real proof, of bullying and abuse towards ex-members Haneul and Sena. This source would later reveal themselves as Sena, a month after the groups disbandment.

GRLZ HIGH was forced to disband on the 10th of February 2017 due to all of the negative attention they had gained in the media. They had amassed a total of 0 music show wins by the end of their career. YUNA was soon prosecuted for not repaying staff members over USD$700 in loans. However, due to harassment laws not being strongly enforced, and bullying cases being extremely hard to win, Haneul and Sena did not press charges against the four members. After the scandal came out and was ‘resolved’ none of the girls tried to redebut in the industry, and all are now living quiet lives. Despite this, photos of Sena and Haneul hanging out together on their private Instagrams have been leaked, along with photos of Yuna and Mia separately. Cherri and BinBin have not been seen on any social media platforms after the incident.

Birthday: May 22nd, 2000

Birthplace: Tokyo, Japan

Ethnicity: Japanese

Nationality: Japanese

Height: 166cm/5'5"

Family: Father, Mother, Older Brother (1994)

Language(s): Japanese and English (Native), Korean (Fluent), Chinese (Basic)

Face Claim: Mori Koyuki (PURPLE KISS)

── ✒️ Idol Information

Stage Name: Aina

Nicknames: Ai/Ai-chan, Koala, Aegi (baby)

Agencies: Storybook Entertainment (2016 - present)

Training Period: 2 years and 6 months (Mar 2016 - Oct 2018)

Position(s): Main Dancer, Sub Vocal

Her emoji is a koala (🐨) because she’s very cuddly/clingy with her members.

── ✒️ Misc Information

She knows how to play piano and guitar.

She watches a lot of anime and reads manga.

She writes lyrics and produces songs for novella.

She laughs/cries hysterically at the smallest things.

In videos, live streams, and variety shows, Aina is almost always seen holding onto someone.

Her mum grew up in Ireland and went to university in America, so she only spoke English to her and her brother growing up.

Due to her mum growing up in Ireland (and her being the main one to teach her English), Aina has a slight Irish accent when pronouncing certain words.

── ✒️ About Aina

Warnings: Aina is disowned by her parents, depression, and grandparent death

From an early age, Aina was put in dance and piano lessons as her parents believed this would give her an edge when applying to prestigious universities. However, Aina never complained about it because she had always loved going. Eventually, she also became interested in making her own songs and convinced her parents to buy her a guitar at 12 years old. Later, at 13, she bought herself a music production software with gift money she had saved up.

At 13/14, her parents began to get worried about how much she enjoyed dancing, piano, and guitar, thinking it would take away her focus on her studies. They tried to withdraw her multiple times, but her grandfather had convinced them otherwise. Throughout middle school, Aina would constantly have arguments with her parents over her grades, her 'obsession' with dance/music, and her future plans.

In 2016, Aina was scouted by MISSMUSE Entertainment while at her dance academy. This was the first time Aina had told her parents about her dream of becoming an idol (though she had been plotting since 11), and obviously, her parents were having none of it. In the end, it was once again her grandfather who convinced them to let up. Her parents signed the contract and shipped her off to Korea, but not before telling her they would never support her music career and denying all attempts at contact.

Unfortunately, Aina's grandfather died just months before her first visit back to Japan, and she didn't even learn about his passing until after his funeral. To this day, Aina's first Japan tour is one of her worst memories. She became very depressed during this period and overworked herself despite the members showing concern and trying to push a hiatus.

── ✒️ About Nari

Warnings: Parent death

Nari does not remember much about her father as he died shortly after the birth of her brother, so she was only 1 year old. After her dad died, Nari's family was very poor. Her mum was unable to work until Nari and her brother were old enough to go to daycare, and she had no family to help her out, so she could only do part-time work.

Unlike her brother, who is an extremely hard worker and now attends Seoul National University, Nari was an awful student. She was the definition of a class clown and would often be in trouble with senior staff. Instead of studying, she spent all of her time practising dance and singing to get a little closer to her dream of becoming an idol. However, Nari's mum was against this and told her to get a stable job instead.

In May 2016, Nari finally auditioned for an idol company and was accepted, but soon moved to a new company called A100 Entertainment. She made it to the end of the Neon Punch YouTube project and was announced to debut in May 2018. However, after their debut was delayed, she was kicked from the final lineup due to the company believing that she did not fit in with the group. This took a big hit to her confidence, but she didn't give up and was accepted into SBE soon after leaving A100.

Since debuting, Nari has often been dubbed as the annoying member, who is always doing too much. Certain ot6 stans have compiled and uploaded videos of the members being fed up with her, clearly trying to stir up drama.

Height: 177cm/5'9"

Family: Father, Mother, Older brother (1995), Younger brother (2002)

Nicknames: Jeong, Jeongie, Yeowang (Queen)

Agencies: Storybook Entertainment (2017 - present)

Training Period: 1 year (Oct 2017 - Oct 2018)

Position(s): Main Rapper

Her emoji is a giraffe (🦒) because she is the tallest of the group by far and has very long legs.

── ✒️ Misc Information

Her family has a siamese cat and a welsh corgi dog.

She loves travelling/exploring.

She is a lyricist.

She dislikes skin-ship/fanservice and hates aegyo even more.

── ✒️ About Eunjeong

Warnings: N/A

Growing up in a wealthy patriarchal household meant that Eunjeong was expected to shut up and go along with everything her parents said. One of those things being piano lessons. At the time she found them extremely boring, but as she grew older and developed an interest in rap/K-Pop, she realised her piano could be used to write music.

She hid her music-loving side from her parents, who she expected to disown her once she made it known that she had no interest in working for the family business. However, her dad had never wanted a daughter anyway, so all she got was a 'good riddance' before he stopped speaking to her altogether.

In November 2017, Eun-Jeong auditioned at many idol companies and was accepted by almost all of them. She accepted the offer from MISSMUSE Entertainment because they told her she was guaranteed to debut within a year.

Eun-Jeong is definitely a hot topic on stan Twitter, and not for good reason. Many videos of her sitting at award shows have been overanalysed to make it seem like she hates certain idols. Her straightforwardness also doesn't help, which often comes across as catty and rude.

Nicknames: Jinnie, Jinjin, Amsaja (Lioness)

Agencies: Storybook Entertainment (2016 - present)

Training Period: 2 years 8 months (Mar 2016 - Oct 2018)

Position(s): Visual, Centre, Sub Vocal

Her emoji is a lion (🦁) because of how protective she is over the younger members (her cubs). She also has very charismatic stage presence onstage.

── ✒️ Misc Information

She is very intelligent and was able to get into Yonsei on her first try.

Authors call her the mum of the group.

She is very short-tempered and easily gets worked up.

She is 100% E and has many friends in Seoul, both in and out of the idol industry.

Her family (more specifically her mother) owns a bichon frise puppy.

She reads a lot and gives book recommendations on her Instagram.

She has a mini garden that she hands over to her boyfriend when out of town.

── ✒️ About Sujin

Warnings: N/A

As a child, Sujin was always exceptionally brilliant, but she had no real ambitions growing up and did not enjoy school. She would often rebel against her parents by threatening not to apply to university and skipping cram school to hang out with friends.

After passing her CSAT with flying colours, Su-Jin went to Yonsei University to study an undeclared degree. Being the extrovert she is, Su-Jin did not fail to make tons of friends and was thriving. The only thing holding her back was the actual university part.

On the way to one of her lectures, Sujin was abruptly stopped by a scouting manager who worked for MISSMUSE Entertainment. Despite refusing the offer and insisting that she couldn't sing or dance, she was still invited to audition at MME. She decided to go audition on a whim, but around one month later, she was invited to MME.

MME never ended up adding new members to GRLZ HIGH, and they soon disbanded in Feb 2017, which caused many trainees to leave the company. Only 5 trainees remained at MME, which included Ae-Cha, Aina, and Su-Jin.

In 2018, MME announced that she was in the final lineup for an upcoming girl group. They did not explicitly tell Su-Jin to drop out, but the group was set to debut years before her graduation, so she made the executive decision to leave uni before starting her 3rd year. This caused a major fall out between her and her parents, who didn't even know she was a trainee until she dropped out. Her parents would then go on to cut all contact with her for around two years until her brothers managed to convince them otherwise.

In NOVELLA, Su-Jin's greatest insecurity has been her ‘lack of talent’. Compared to the other members who had developed their dance/vocal skills from early on in life, Su-Jin was very inexperienced and often felt that her own singing and dancing were letting the group down. Many antis of the group claim that she is ‘nothing but a pretty face’ and/or a ‘dozen’.

[dearnovella]

About HanA

HanA, real name Han Ah-Reum, is a soloist rapper and producer who debuted under Storybook Entertainment, originally known as MISSMUSE Entertainment, in 2012. She is most well-known for being able to produce songs for a wide range of groups and genres. The main two idol groups she has made songs for are GRLZ HIGH and NOVELLA, but she also produces for independent artists and artists who are not under the SBE label.

──

HanA was born on July 2nd, 1992, in a very small countryside town. Her mum, a maths teacher, and her dad, a blue-collar construction worker, already had two girls and one boy before her, making up a family of 6. Growing up, HanA's family did not have much money. However, their parents insisted on sending their kids to piano or, in her brothers case, taekwondo lessons. HanA was called a prodigy by her piano and music teachers, and she even managed to win some regional competitions. Her love for music mainly stemmed from her growing up watching the first generation of K-pop, but it only further developed into a passion when she got older and was exposed to underground/indie rappers.

HanA composed and wrote her first song at age 13 (2006), but living in a small town in the 2000s made it hard for her to distribute her music. Over the course of the next 3-4 years, HanA would spend most of her middle school and high school life focusing on music instead of studying, much to her parents' disappointment. She began working part-time in restaurants to save up money for bus rides to town, discs to burn, and her biggest goal, moving to Seoul.

HanA barely managed to graduate with bare minimum grades, but university was never an option for her in the first place. As soon as she graduated, she scraped up all the money she had made to move to Seoul at 18 and begin her journey as a music producer and soloist rapper. After two years of independent production, she finally signed a contract with SBE.

Many NOVELLA fans, aka Authors, are also fans of HanA. Although she enjoys working on music behind the scenes, she has occasionally popped up on the production lines' livestreams. Additionally, Aina has previously mentioned that HanA taught her most of what she knows about composing, and they have quite a close mentor/student and older sister/younger sister relationship.

[dearnovella]

Aina's Style, Phone, and Bedroom

── Daily

Her style is pretty versatile. As long as it's baggy, she'll wear it.

She mostly wears oversized hoodies and jumpers, so she hates summer because she has to wear t-shirts.

She is known for only wearing one pair of white New Balances with almost every outfit.

Her members have tried to buy her new shoes but she politely declines them and returns their gifts because she knows she won't wear them (she only wears one pair of shoes at a time).

She rarely wears short sleeves because she hates showing her arms (despite showing them all the time on stage).

── Airport

A couple of knetz have come at her for her airport fashion, saying it's 'too casual' and 'giving homeless', especially compared to her other members.

But she said practicality >>> fashion any day, and didn't really care.

── Practice

For their normal practices, she wears short sleeves and sweats because she's just around her members and their dance teacher.

If it's being recorded, she'll wear a long sleeve shirt instead.

── Sleepwear

While walking around the house, she wears old oversized t-shirts and sweats/shorts.

She just sleeps in just a t-shirt no matter how cold it is because she finds the waistbands of trousers uncomfortable.

── Body Mods

She has 12 piercings (1 rook, 2 helixes, and 3 lobes on both ears).

She has no tattoos because she's too indecisive and afraid she'll regret them.

── Accessories

She actually barely wears jewellery despite having like 12 piercings because she forgets to put them in and also just can't be bothered most of the time.

Same thing for necklaces and bracelets, except she does have one necklace with her initial on it that she wears the most often (so like 5 times a year).

She does like to wear rings, though, because she can fiddle with them.

For their 5th year anniversary (technically, it hasn't happened yet, but oh well), they all bought friendship rings, and thats probably the only piece of jewellery that she wears consistently.

── Phone

Her phone is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 in cream.

(Yes, she is the only Samsung user).

She has a variety of cute cases, but she normally uses a clear case with a little charm/bracelet thingy (top left).

Her lockscreen and homescreen are the same, a heart pattern with a cream background.

── Bedroom

Her room is all white/cream.

She has a desk with a computer and laptop for music/gaming purposes.

Her bed is full with various plushies that she's gotten as gifts/bought herself.

[dearnovella]

── Daily

She loves bright and colourful clothes - you'll rarely see her wearing all black.

Her style is very cute and a bit kidcore.

She loves wearing short skirts/shorts with oversized tops.

She has lots of colourful shoes because she likes to colour coordinate her outfits.

── Airport

A comfier version of her daily style.

She wears more sweatpants/sweatshorts and hoodies here, but she's not as casual as Aina.

Her hair is always braided when on flights.

── Practice

Cropped t-shirts and sweats.

It's still very colourful but not as cute as her daily/airport fashion.

She often wears her shirt on one shoulder when she gets hot.

── Sleepwear

Character pj sets!!

She wishes she could shop in the kids' section. :'(

She also braids her hair for bedtime.

── Body Mods

She has 8 piercings (2 helixes on her left ear and 3 lobes on both).

She has two small tattoos and would get more.

She got her first tattoo when her brother turned 18 (she was 20), and it is 'no. 1/2' written near her right elbow to match her brother. She got it because she's very close to her brother.

Her second tattoo (21) is 'youth' written on her left outer ankle. She got it because she wants to stay 'youthful' forever, regardless of her age.

── Accessories

She wears a lot of cute hair accessories like clips and headbands.

She occasionally wears arm/leg warmers with her outfits.

She's always wearing lots of necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, and she doesn’t have a preference for gold or silver.

A lot of her accessories have cute characters on them.

── Phone

Her phone is the iPhone 13 pro in silver.

(She really wanted the pink, but 13 pros don't come in that colour).

She has like 10 different cases that she uses rotationally.

Her lockscreen is a baby photo of her and her brother.

Her homescreen is a picture of her with her mum.

── Bedroom

Her room isn't as colourful as you'd expect. It's all white, and she has no posters or paintings.

She has a desk with a computer for all of her geek-tivities.

── ✒️ About Dambi

Warnings: Dysfunctional family, divorce, parental child abduction (?), infidelity

Growing up, Dambi's home life was turbulent, and her parents definitely should've divorced much earlier than they did. School up to the age of ten was pretty much hell, as she would miss weeks of school when her mum would take her and her siblings to hide in her grandparents' house. Their marriage finally ended after her dad got his mistress pregnant, signed the divorce papers, and disappeared with his new wife and son. Her mum got remarried 2 years later, and her dad had completely no contact with his three daughters for the next ~11 years.

To try and distract herself from her home life, Dambi was almost never home. Instead, she found hobbies and clubs to join, one of them being an independent dance group that she started taking herself to at around age 9. Eventually, dancing was no longer just an escape route, and it became a huge passion of hers. This made her become interested in music and K-pop. Simultaneously, Dambi began writing songs and poems about her struggles and home life.

In July 2016, she auditioned for an entertainment agency and made it in. Despite auditioning for rap, the company wanted to train her as a vocalist, so she took vocal classes for the 2 years she was there. In July 2018, Dam-Bi decided to leave the company as they had no plans to debut a girl group in the near future. From there, she joined SBE because they offered her a place in a new girl group that was set to debut in 4 months.

Dam-Bi often gets hate for being quiet at times, there are some very vocal ot6 fans because of her not being as funny as the other members.

── ✒️ About Haeun

Warnings: N/A

Growing up in a restaurant has made her extremely fond of cooking. Regulars have called her the 'boss' or 'head chef' since she was young, but despite her love for cooking, becoming a singer has been Haeun's dream for as long as she can remember. Her parents would constantly watch music programmes on TV and play trot songs on the radio, so it was only a matter of time before she began mimicking what she heard and saw. She began performing classic Korean songs for all the aunties and uncles in her neighbourhood and would even sing in the restaurant on special occasions.

It was around age 16 when Haeun first became interested in becoming an idol, and so, she began practising dance alongside her singing. Unfortunately for her, dance did not come as naturally to her as singing did, and she struggled a lot with it during her pre-debut years.

After graduating high school, Haeun took a solo trip to Seoul to audition for several entertainment agencies without telling anyone as she was so afraid of getting rejected. Perhaps her fears were right because the only agency she heard back from was MISSMUSE Entertainment, a Nugu company with one unsuccessful girl group. She was about to decline the offer, but her parents convinced her to take the opportunity once she finally confided in them.

As a trainee, Haeun lost a lot of confidence. Being surrounded by people her age and younger who were significantly better dancers, made her feel a strong sense of imposter syndrome. Even after debuting, she often puts herself down and compares herself to the other members. However, she is highly praised for her stage presence, especially in comparison to her debut days.
