Childhood
Famous before birth, Seonhwa is the only child of trot singer Kim Jungwon and Miss Korea 1993 Ahn Minkyung.
Her parents had a fairytale love story; they became the it couple, and they're still popular for having lasted this much and still very much in love.
Named after Princess Seonhwa of Silla, a woman known for her eternal beauty, it was quite obvious that her mother wanted her to follow the same path.
But little Seonhwa loved music ever since she was too young to understand.
She was spoiled and always got what she wanted. But in a house full of love, Seonhwa understood how important it was to be kind and thoughtful.
Her parents couldn't have more children, even if they tried. Seonhwa asked for a sibling almost every day for years, but it wasn't until she was old enough to understand why it would never happen. So all expectations were on her shoulders and they were heavy.
She never wanted to become a model, even less to join any beauty pageant.
Deciding she wanted to become a trot singer like her father, she auditioned for several entertainment companies. She was super young though, only thirteen. But she wanted it, and did what she could to get it.
They didn't want a trot singer, but she had a beautiful singing voice and was just as beautiful as her mother. It was no surprise when Majestic Records offered her a place in their roster.
Her parents were mad at first, of course. But wanted her to follow her dreams and be safe, her father contacted the Majestic CEO and made sure Seonhwa would be treated fairly.
Training Years
It wasn't as easy as she thought. It was hard work and routine; school and practice and so on, and she had to do both perfectly.
She was too young, but her sense of responsibility and need for perfection helped her. And soon she was known for being disciplined no matter what.
The company had planned to debut a girl group, but then decided that sixteen-year-old Seonhwa should debut as a soloist instead. However, she was still too young to do so. Her debut was the talk everywhere, yet it never seemed to happen.
But she worked hard and the company supported her. They took their time to prepare her so her debut didn't fail after so much noise.
Debut
Seventeen-year-old Seonhwa debuted in 2014 as Fleur. Her concept was fresh and cute, they were trying to capture the public by presenting this sweet girl. And it worked! Her debut album broke records, and everybody was enamored by this short girl that was completely dynamite on the stage.
Seonhwa loved it. The attention, the praise, everything because she had worked hard for it and she knew she deserved the hype.
But soon the pressure was too much; she had to be perfect, to be happy, to be the pretty girl no matter what happened. And not even a year in, she was already drowning.
Then she met the one who would become her rock throughout all of it, Choi Haneul.
They met in 2015, and the attraction was immediate. The problem child of Infinite, that trainee turned into staff after a terrible situation. And Majestic wasn't happy. He was everything they didn't want for her, and she gave no shits.
They fell in love like crazy, and this sweet girl was breaking every rule to be with him because she could.
She was still hardworking, she did what she was told on the stage and during practice. But Seohwa was in love.
Soon rumors hit social media and petals discussed why their Fleur was wearing a necklace with a birth flower and stone that belonged to May and it was not at all hers.
Seonhwa released Full Moon and received a lot of backlash, because this innocent girl was now bold. People complained, attacked her, and sent her hateful comments. They complained that the company was trying to change her image because she was dating.
Still, in December of 2015, she released a song she had written herself, 11:11. and it became a hit, once again. Seonhwa had found her inspiration. Her muse.
But not everything was perfect and they broke up in 2016 before she released her first Japanese mini album, VOICE.
Heartbroken, Seonhwa focused on her career, becoming even more perfectionist, not caring about anything else but being the best. And she became the best.
Seonhwa became the first idol to record most of the songs she wrote herself, and they all came from her heart, her experiences. She wasn't good at expressing her feelings, but she could sing about it.
In 2018, Seonhwa went viral along with Haneul, Misa's bodyguard now, because she was clearly recorded greeting Misa and her manager, but ignoring her bodyguard. Seonhwa was labeled as rude and difficult.
But she still was one of the best vocalists in the country, still Majestic Records' cash crow. Winning awards and breaking records left and right, Seonhwa was the queen.
Merge
Seonhwa hated Infinite Ent. for personal reasons, so being told she was joining them was her worst nightmare. She felt betrayed because she had trusted Majestic, and they were selling her off like she was nothing.
So of course she made her personal mission to make it difficult for the company to deal with her, to fight for things to be exactly her way.
She's super nice to the staff though, she's just difficult when it comes to her own music and concepts. Majestic allowed her to do as she pleased, and Infinite wants to control her, so it's war.
Over half of her team wasn't hired, but she was told they didn't want to join the company. In reality, Infinite fired them all to give her a new team that could control her, so she's not that happy.
She's still a moneymaker and they know it. They paid a lot for Majestic just to get her, and these are the consequences.
Tour
Seonhwa looked all the ways to get out of this tour, but as such a popular soloist, the public wanted to see her. So she accepted it, after a lot of negotiations just to make sure she got what she wanted. Help her poor managers.
The Seoul part of the tour was difficult because she felt so lost. But soon she relaxed thanks to her friends.
Traveling around the world has always been a dream of hers, so she's enjoying exploring new cities.
It's quite a change from everything she was used to, but she's slowly relaxing and enjoying her time.
She had been making new friends, working with the people she loves. It's actually kind of fun?? Sheβs just as surprised.
She has released a subunit with one of her best friends, Misa, called Queen.
She has reconnected with Haneul, she's actually happy and very much in love.
She filmed the 5th season of Being Again with TIDALβs Soul during the Asian leg. And season 6 with him during the European leg.
Present
Seonhwa is currently living with Haneul, as she had always dreamed off.
They adopted a dog called Bomi, who is the light of her life.

But she wants to try !!!
What's free time? She doesn't know her
She likes being in complete control of everything, so please do something she canβt do anything about and youβll see her freaking out

There's a journal full of her thoughts and songs that she carries around everywhere she goes, it's her baby. If she allows you to see it, you know she trusts you
Seo can be quite friendly and funny once she's comfortable with others
Very popular and awarded soloist, she was the star and crash cow of Majestic Records. So of course she was used to getting her way no matter what
It hurt her to be sent to Infinite Ent. and still struggles to get used to having to share, like an actual child
She's pretty down to earth tho. It's not about her feeling better than anybody else, because she doesn't. She's just used to working her way and now it's different, so she feels a bit lost.
