[TRANS] Korea's Girl Group leader who's heart is as beautiful as her appearance.
โQ. Out of the Apink members, whoโs the most diligent in the practice room?
Apinkโs Director: The leader Chorong is the most diligent. She practices the hardest to encourage and set an example to her members.โ
(Predebut era, 110325).
This account was written by one of the volunteers who went to Bangladesh with Chorong as part of the Koica Dream volunteer program. According to the fellow volunteers, Chorong is a complete angel and commended Chorong for her hard work. Even when there wasnโt any cameras around she did her duties efficiently, and even during resting times, she continued working hard by herself. One time, when the volunteers were working, it started raining heavily. Although the weather was quite severe, she worked hard til the endโฆ.
There was also a group of children who came that was currently suffering from head lice. Regardless of circumstance, Chorong embraced each and every one of them, gave each of them a hug, and took good care of them.
โ(โฆ..) Whenever someone asked an acquaintance of Apink (in this case, their stylist) who the nicest Apink member was, their acquaintances would always say that each and every one of the members are really kind. This was the answer that was always given to that question. When it was time we had to eat our meals, I went with the other volunteers to eat together. Chorong didnโt even flinch at the announcement of a meal time, and continued to work. Her hands just kept working. The only time she stopped working briefly was to tie her hair up because it was getting in the way of her work. Sheโs sincerely a hardworker who sacrificed her meals and break time, and continued to work by herself. Sheโs really an angel. (โฆ)โ
โ(โฆโฆ.) There were several children in the area who caught head lice. When those kids came, Chorong embraced them and gave the kids hugs without any worries. Sheโs really nice. (โฆ)โ
This is a commemorative photo Chorong took with her gifts that she received for her 24th birthday (last year). On that day, she held a personal Q&A with her fans, and for 30 minutes she received over 18,000 questions/comments. She went through all those questions and even personally replied to her fans, and even uploaded a special video for her fans.
Chorong coincidentally met a few Apink fans in the convenience store and bought ice-cream for them because the weather was really hot.
โAs expected from Apinkโs leader!!! Coincidentally, a few fans met Chorong in a convenience store and she bought ice-cream for all of us!!! Chorong-ah, Iโll be stronger and will continue to always support you!!!โ
She even personally wrote a handwritten letter for the fans who waited a long time for themโฆ.
โChorong: Iโm really, really sorryโฆ. You had a hard time while waiting for us right? It was raining and everythingโฆ Iโm really sorry..
(Letter) Today was such a hot dayโฆ despite that, our fans came with us to our schedules.. you all had a hard time right? Iโm really sorryโฆ I want to see you all soon!! Just wait a little longer, and weโll be back soon! Make sure you are all taking care of yourself, so you donโt get hurt okay? As expected (from our fans)โฆ. GOOD! Iโm always thankful for you..โ
Summary of this fanaccount:
On one of the days that Apink held a fansign, the temperature dropped drastically, and the weather suddenly turned really cold. When the fan shook hands with Chorong, she noticed that the fanโs hands were freezing and had a really worried look. Chorong started scrambling around looking for her hot pack and gave it to the fan. She said to the fan, โUnnie, how could you leave the house without a hot pack? Your hands are so cold, what do we do?โ. The fan tried to reassure her that she was fine, but Chorong persistently gave her hot pack to the fan because she was worried the fan will catch a cold otherwise. Around 6 months later, at another fansign.. Chorong saw the fan again and asked her if she caught a cold previously. The fan was surprised that Chorong remembered her because it had been so long. The fan asked her, โUnnie, you remembered me?โ and Chorong replied that she remembered her because she was so pretty.ย
There are still many accounts that praises Chorongโs kindhearted nature and leadership. Nevertheless, these examples are a good reminder of the real Chorong, who we love and admire.
Have the happiest birthday Chorong!ย
