૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Born in, and living in Jeju for most of her life, Seoeun still speaks with quite a heavy Jeju dialect, usually mixed with standard Korean.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Despite helping out at her aunt's bakery, Seoeun cannot cook. She has been banned from the kitchen on multiple occasions but is still determined to improve her cooking skills.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 If she could have a pet of her own, Seoeun would adopt a snake just to scare her friends for the fun of it.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 When she was first scouted by her current agency, Seoeun lied about her actual age, claiming to be 18 when she was actually 22 at the time. She was worried she could've been deemed "too old" to step into the entertainment industry.

﹙behind the scenes﹚

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— Hello, Seoeun!

꒷ JEONG SEOEUN 〈 TRAINEE 〉— [bows politely] Hello, staff members!

꒷ ??? ² 〈 STAFF 〉— [whispering] God... She's really short.

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— [turns to the colleague] Shut up, Bigfoot. [turns back to the trainee, smiling] Would you like to tell us what's inside your luggage?

꒷ JEONG SEOEUN 〈 TRAINEE 〉— Uh... Sure, I guess?

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— Great!

꒷ JEONG SEOEUN 〈 TRAINEE 〉— So... I have my old film camera, to document all the memories I'll make here with other trainees. Next... Oh! Freeze dried fruits, my favorites! A small tarp to cover my sleeping area for privacy... And my diary to write down my journey.

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— Thank you, Seoeun! You may reach the other trainees at the camp gate now.

Seoeun leaves.

꒷ ??? ² 〈 STAFF 〉— Nothing weird this time? That's... odd.

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— It shouldn't be odd since we're in a survival show broadcasted worldwide. [suddenly grabs the colleague's t shirt collar with both their hands] WORLDWIDE! WORLDWIDE...

꒷ ??? ³ 〈 STAFF 〉— ... JURI, are you okay?

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— [smiling hysterically] Yes.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 She studied abroad for 2 years in London, Ontario, Canada.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 She's obsessed with the color pink and half of the things she owns is in baby pink. Apart from her clothes of course. She prefers to dress in more neutral tones such as white, beige and black.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Her biggest hobbie is aerial silks. She performed aerial silks when she was younger and still tries to practice it as much as she can.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 She collects Miffy merchandise and has spent around $2.000 (₩2.762.480 circa) on her collection in the past few years.

﹙behind the scenes﹚

The staff members wait patiently for Seoah to arrive.

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— Here she is!

꒷ ??? ² 〈 STAFF 〉— Hi, Seoah. How are you today?

꒷ KIM SEOAH 〈 TRAINEE 〉— I'm doing pretty good! What about you, guys?

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— [fanning their face with their hand] The heat is killing me already and the show didn't even start yet...

꒷ ??? ² 〈 STAFF 〉— So, we have a question for you. We'd like you to tell us what you chose to bring with you in your luggage.

꒷ KIM SEOAH〈 TRAINEE 〉— Of course!

꒷ KIM SEOAH 〈 TRAINEE 〉— Here's my fluffy pink slippers, a photo of my mom and my brother that I won't show for privacy, my earbuds and my digital camera.

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— That's cool! I like your slippers, they're so fancy.

꒷ KIM SEOAH 〈 TRAINEE 〉— [bows politely, smiling] Thank you!

꒷ ??? ² 〈 STAFF 〉— [visibly worried] Uh... What's in that big plastic wrapper?

꒷ KIM SEOAH 〈 TRAINEE 〉— That's my giant Totoro!

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— A... Amazing! [smiles nervously] Thank you so much for your collaboration. You may reach your fellow trainees now.

Seoah leaves.

꒷ ??? ² 〈 STAFF 〉— I wonder if that thing would fit the length of the bed...

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— I bet it doesn't even fit in the bedroom itself.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 During middle school, Soobin was supposedly bullied for sleeping all the time. However, she herself doesn't remember any of this. Perhaps she slept through every interaction?

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 She will often place her pillow in the freezer so when she comes home to sleep, it'll be ice cold.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Every year, Soobin deletes all her contacts on her phone. This way, those who wish to continue talking to her will put effort to actually reach out, while also getting rid of unwanted and cluttered phone numbers. She likes to keep an archive of all the phone numbers she's collected however so she can prank call people in the future when they inevitably forget her.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Apparently, Soobin is a chronic button collectir. She currently has amassed a total of 348 different buttons. No one knows how or even when she was able to obtain such a substantial amount of buttons.

﹙behind the scenes﹚

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— Uh... [looks around] Where's the next trainee?

꒷ ??? ² 〈 STAFF 〉— I have no clue. She was supposed to be here... [checks the schedule] Twenty minutes ago, at least?

꒷ ??? ³ 〈 STAFF 〉— Do you think someone kidnapped her?

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

꒷ ??? ³ 〈 STAFF 〉— What? I know there's little to no chances for that to happen but... [shrugs] Who knows.

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— Who knows my a- ... amazing rainbow unicorn, you dumb idiot.

꒷ ??? ² 〈 STAFF 〉— Hey, calm down, okay? [places their hands on their colleagues' shoulders] You two need to get yourself together before the show begins.

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— [sighs frustrated] Yes... But he needs to stop saying nonsense.

꒷ ??? ³ 〈 STAFF 〉— Do you think it's that girl coming towards us...?

꒷ ??? ² 〈 STAFF 〉— [checking the picture on the enrollment paper] Yup, that's her!

The trainee walks dragging her shoe soles on the ground. She looks like... She's been asleep the whole time?

꒷ YANG SOOBIN 〈 TRAINEE 〉— [bows rubbing her drowsy eyes] Hello... [yawns] I'm sorry for the wait.

꒷ ??? ² 〈 STAFF 〉— Yang Soobin. Guest number six from Seonsan, Gumi province, am I right?

꒷ YANG SOOBIN 〈 TRAINEE 〉— [nods]

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉— As usual procedure for all the trainees coming to the camp, we would like to ask you what did you bring with you in your luggage.

Soobin nods again and opens her bag without adding a single word.

꒷ YANG SOOBIN 〈 TRAINEE 〉— Hm...

꒷ YANG SOOBIN 〈 TRAINEE 〉— Ten of my buttons. Incense. A novel... My phonebook too.

꒷ ??? ³ 〈 STAFF 〉— May I ask what's that tiny puzzle piece at the bottom of your bag?

꒷ YANG SOOBIN 〈 TRAINEE 〉— [smiles, holding the piece between her index and middle finger] A good luck missing puzzle piece.

꒷ ??? ³ 〈 STAFF 〉— That's such a unique lucky charm, I daresay!

Stay tuned for the next profiles!

With love,
