── ✒️ 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.

Greatest Kindness - angst

In the Dead of Night, You Bring Me Back Alive - comfort, fluff

What if instead of floundering at a public event and waiting for a rich man to rescue you, you could stand on your own? Featuring an after-party scene where you and Jumin share quiet meandering conversations and find peace in them. Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it.

Aecha's Style, Phone, and Bedroom

── Daily

Her style isn't that unique or specific, she just has a basic Korean style.

She's dresses very casual, and she doesn't pay much attention to fashion like some of the others.

── Airport

Same as her daily outfits.

She dresses comfy and casual, but while still looking well put together.

── Practice

Normally, she'll just wear a spots bra and tracksuit pants because she gets hot quickly.

When being filmed, she'll put on a tight cropped t-shirt for modesty.

── Sleepwear

I gave Sujin and Aecha the same pictures for this section because at one point, they Sujin decided to buy like 100 different matching pj sets.

Although they no longer live together, they still wear the matching pj's.

Fans have noticed them wearing couple pj's in a bunch of live streams and call them a married couple because of it, along with many other reasons.

── Body Mods

She has 5 piercings (2 lobes on both ears and a helix on her right).

She only has one small tattoo that she got in 2021 (23yrs) and it's a small trevle clef on the front of her left shoulder, near her clavicle. The note actually has a semicolon inside of it, but since it's so small, and no one has actually gotten a close-up of it, most fans debate over whether it's actually there.

She got the tattoo because to her, NOVELLA and their music is her entire life. She doesn't know what she would do without them.

There were many times when she hit rock bottom and didn't want to continue, but her passion for music and performing kept her going.

── Accessories

She always wears a small gold necklace with her name engraved on a circular pendant. It was a gift from her parents after she debuted.

She sometimes wears bracelets, but she always wears her apple watch.

── Phone

Her phone is the iPhone 13 pro in graphite.

She only uses a clear case.

Her lockscreen is just a photo of her at the beach.

Her homescreen used to be a picture of her with her boyfriend, but they broke up. Now, it's a picture of her and her niece.

── Bedroom

Her room is basically all beige and white.

She does have a desk with a computer for gaming.
