HELLO !!! lia here, a little late to the party but still! let me introduce you to your newest favorite mess, seo harin, otherwise known as arin. as culture creative's self-proclaimed wild child, harin is about as put-together as a box of legos, so do with that information what you will... read on under the cut for some more info on her, and leave a like if you wanna plot! ⋆
super short tl;dr of her background
grew up as an only child with a lot of expectations placed on her since she was young. she tried to be what her parents wanted, she swears, but being off the rails is just so much more fun.
really leaned into her artistic / creative side as a teenager, which eventually led to her leaving home for seoul and auditioning at hearthub records. she managed to get a spot for an upcoming girl group, but the project was eventually put on "indefinite hiatus."
harin honestly didn't mind; she knew she didn't want to share the spotlight with other members in a group, no thanks! when she was approached by a culture creative rep before her contract was even up, she agreed to sign to the new label asap.
november 2022, harin debuted as soloist arin, a "self-producing" artist who's honestly more of an internet celebrity than a kpop idol.
she's been pushing the boundaries of being "company-owned" since the very beginning, sneaking around her managers and slipping up with her language on instagram lives. it's quickly become part of her charm though as a more "down-to-earth" artist.
really as unfiltered as a public figure can get. she still covers up the ugly parts, of course, but she's quick to speak her mind, stand up to staff, and snap back when interviewers get a little too personal.
honestly i was generous when i gave her a 3 out of 5 reputation. dw she'll be down to 0.5 soon! ( /j or am i ).
as bubbly and weird as she is, harin is honestly still pretty self-conscious, prefers her alone time, and makes sure to keep everyone at an arm's length. she's here to have fun, above all else, and will curate her environment to her liking.
spends most of her free time making music, partying, hanging out at other people's apartments and getting drunk, and making messes for her managers to clean up. she's really been pushing her luck recently though, so she's trying to cut back from being too wild...
her immediate goals are to release an album and get permission to start a youtube channel ( though the second item might be a tall order given her track record ).
her reach goals are to not get so famous that she can't go to the convenience store without getting photographed and to do a world tour.
friends, ex-friends, exes, flings, enemies, relatives. all the quote unquote "normal" connections.
a party buddy? someone who comes (or is dragged) along to all the events and probably ends up lending a couch to her for the night. you're also probably in her manager's contact list now.
someone who trained with her between 2018 and mid 2022.
a childhood friend from busan.
she accidentally followed you on instagram and it almost became a whole thing within her fandom's little bubble.
fans of her music who probably had their image of her shattered rq.
she's a fan of your music ( but maybe doesn't like you as a person very much ).
creatives who swap music and inspiration on good days, and maybe knock back a few shots of soju on bad days.
you witnessed one of her spectacular breakdowns and it either ended or strengthened your relationship.
she has / had a crush on you but you'd never know from how hot-and-cold she is with you ( she never outgrew her "if you're mean to them that means you like them" phase ).
a recent ex she still cries over..... maybe she even wrote restless about you....
