Background
BB is the youngest of five siblings, three brothers and one sister besides her, all of whom are much older than her, the second youngest is eight years older than her and the oldest is 16 years older, which lead her to grow up sort of alone despite her amount of siblings
The first idol group she ever saw perform was 2ne1 and thought they were so cool and wanted to be just like them
She started dance classes and trying to learn how to sing at home in order to work towards her dream of being an idol. While her parents were wary of the cost and dangers of BB becoming a trainee, they quickly realized nothing was going to stop her determination and allowed her to continue practicing.
She became a Cube entertainment trainee when she was 14 but left a year later after the HyunA and Dawn’s contracts were terminated since she disagreed with the company’s decision and saw it as a sign of their character and how much they actually cared about their employees.
After she left Cube she auditioned, and eventually signed with Leo Entertainment after she had heard about it from some other trainees.
Trivia
She often gets told she has “dead eyes” or a very sad expression, but she insists it is just how her face naturally looks. Many fans have tried to switch the comment to be positive by saying that she looks serene or has a soft expression.
Her representative emoji is a mouse
She’s a huge nerd and loves playing video games and ttrpgs, reading comic books and YA novels, and watching movies. She’s an especially big fan of Star Trek
She has a very chill, almost grungy, dark sense of style. Because of this the members call her “rockstar cutie” and she says it annoys her, but she actually kind of likes it
She always asks her makeup artist to not cover up her freckles as much as possible
Due to her inciting love for 2ne1 she has remained a second gen stan
Her favorite holiday is Halloween and insists that all of the members do a group costume. Their first Halloween as a group they dressed up as the Mystery Gang from Scooby Doo (she was Scooby) and this past Halloween they were all Monster High Dolls (she was Draculaura)
She has little to no volume control and constantly has to be reminded to quiet down
She loves doing Lives and discussing different books she’s been reading or shows she’s been watching with fans and giving recommendations
The other members have banned her from using anything besides the microwave in the kitchen because she will accidently burn their apartment to the ground.
