TRIVIA & TRAITS
• stella isn’t technically the oldest newyou member but she is clearly the oldest and wisest you know?
• like. she is sweet and lovely and down to earth but if you get to know her a little bit you can tell that she has Seen Some Shit
• her name is hyunbin or stella, not jisoo, so jot that down. she has no idea how fans found her birth name but the fact that it got out is one of the only things that’s made her really upset since newyou’s debut. if she sees one more stella fan account with “jisoo” in the @ she’s going to snap
• consistent with her old lady nature, she is a terrible, terrible sleeper. she goes to bed really early but wakes up a ton throughout the night and can’t sleep much past 4:30 or 5 am. she has a weirdly low caffeine tolerance though & if you give her one (1) mug of white tea she starts shaking uncontrollably
• interpreting her kindness as weakness is the worst mistake you can make
• she can read other people like no one else, and she tends to remember everything that people tell her about themselves, even crazy specific stuff that inevitably freaks them out if she mentions it later
• she isn’t always the best at putting her thoughts into words, which is why on the surface it seems like she isn’t good at giving advice. a lot of times, though, things she says that seemed cryptic or useless at the time end up making perfect sense later
• along with haneul she is the “face” of newyou and one of the most popular members, which the company clearly wasn’t expecting at all because they put her in the back during newyou’s first few releases
• stella doesn’t have a ton of friends her own age but other people’s moms, teachers, and librarians LOVE her. she’s the mom whisperer
• she is very observant and tends to notice and look for things that other people don’t. it’s why newyou’s video producers tend to have her watch final drafts of the group’s content before releasing it, because she catches mistakes that no one else does
• even people who don’t stan newyou probably stan stella and anyone who doesn’t is just making a terrible lifestyle choice
