Mortal, Female, 23
Aliases: Sunny, SUN, Sunshine, Little Imugi Nationality: American Residence: Seoul, SKR Employer: SAILA Function: Idol Twitter: @sailasun
A woman of a rather neutral disposition, SUN stands at 169cm and is of a slender-lean build.
With long, dark hair and dark eyes; she doesn't necessarily stand out among others, however her well-defined facial features tend to provoke second looks from others. Her lips hold a slight downturn, suggesting that she's often prone to moods of pensiveness - a notion immediately dispelled by the slight smirk that often comes to the fore.
Her years of dancing and volleyball have afforded her a build that while slim, has hints and undertones of muscle to those who know where to look. She walks with bold purpose, always sure and confident of the path she's taking - her movements reflecting a grace and fluidity that she's unaware of.
SUN's expression often run the gauntlet - and while she's not as expressive as some people, she seems to be unable to particularly hide how she's feeling. Smirks are rampant, laughter is free, and the glimmer of mischeviousness is ever-present. Despite the elegant air that seems to surround her, there's hints of a troublemaker that pokes out from time to time.
Often, she can be found clad in a range of styles - whether it be hip-hop and street style influenced, or dresses and skirts of high-fashion. Many of her outfits are simply done on a whim, coincidentally working together well.
A young woman in her early 20's, Park Seon-hee was born for - at the very least - semi-greatness. The daughter of a concert pianist and a writer, she's always been immersed within the arts. Growing up in the Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles, Seon-hee (affectionately known as Sunny) could always been seen sticking her head in places it shouldn't have been - but with a constant smile.
Growing up wasn't as easy or as smooth as it could have been. With her father constant touring schedule, and her mother's busy hours pitching her ideas to executives and publishers; Seon-hee often found herself alone. Picking up the piano in an attempt to connect with her father, what was a passing fancy eventually turned into a dedication that changed her life.
With a budding passion in music, Seon-hee gradually began to become interested in singing and dancing as well. At the worst ferverent, and at best dedicated; she found great success, and with her parent's blessings, focused wholly on becoming a star. Hearing about trainee auditions for Dusk Entertainment, Seon-hee jumped at the opportunity to follow her passion.
Being a trainee was hard, to say the least. This being the first time Seon-hee left home (and to be on an entirely new continent no less), homesick struck hard - along with the culture shock and unreleting pressure from the company. Perservering through her training (and becoming known by the mononym SUN); after numerous years, she made her debut as a member of the group SAILA.
SAILA, a five member group, became popular quickly - however success was hard to find at home, many of the groups fans being found outside of South Korea. Unperturbed by this, the group has been promoting hard for the upcoming release of their first full album, and the members themselves can be found globetrotting - although in what's a departure of tradition- solo, in small groups, or with the entire unit.

Seon-hee Facts:
-She is half-Korean and half-Japanese, and was born in Los Angeles, California. Her father is a classical pianist, and her mother a screenwriter/novelist (of the romantic variety).
-Seon-hee placed first in ND Entertainment's 2012 auditions in Los Angeles, and stood out for her unique voice and dancing ability.
-Seon-hee has an older brother, an older sister, and a young sister.
-She can speak English, Korean, and Japanese (in order of proficiency). Currently, she's trying to learn Chinese (to varying levels of success), at the behest of her manager and group-mates.
-Pre-debut, SUN used to play volleyball when she lived in Los Angeles. Primarily a setter, her high school team reached the regional championship.
-Seon-hee’s hobbies include playing piano, watching movies, volleyball, hapkido and eating.
-She really likes Kimchi, and is in general a really big food lover!
-Listens to all kinds of music, mainly because of her dad and her own desire to grow as a vocalist and musician.
-Her favorite artists are BoA, Beenzino and Rihanna.
-Has always wanted a pet of some kind: the bigger the better! Her favorite animal however, are snakes.
SUN’s Ideal Type: Someone older, but really nice and somewhat mysterious. She’s gone on record to say that she likes the type that can be found in mystery novels and noir films, much to her embarrassment.
-SUN leaks excess Chaos magic, something she's vaguely aware of - but is mostly untrained in it's use. She has just enough control to prevent hurting other people, but not much in the way of properly using it.
-Her father's family are semi-renowned Hapkido practitioners and own an academy thats been passed down. Before becoming an idol, she was a 4th-dan Blackbelt, and can often be seen keeping up her training.
-Often times, she's been likened to a fox - which amuses her parents considering the spiritual connection her mother's onmyōdō family holds to them (bearing them as familiars). Sun jokingly refers to herself as 'Little Imugi' - a nickname thats been co-opted by SAILA's fans, and one given to her by her father.
-SUN seems drawn to the ocean, and endlessly fascinated by storms and clouds. Ironically, she can't swim.
-If you follow the Korean pop scene, the group SAILA has recently been promoting the upcoming release of their first full-length album. They've released numerous singles and typically seem to be R&B influenced. Talk to SUN about it, she loves her fans (even if they do tend to be a bit fanatic at times)!
-SUN has recently been participating in Seoul-based fashion shows, but also has recently been seen in Adidas adverts online.
-She eats. A lot, to the point where it's becoming suspicious that she doesn't gain weight.. Any mention of food is likely to provoke a positive reaction from her.
-Residual Chaos magic clings to her like a cloak, and there are times when her energy seems to go haywire. Magically-inclined individuals can clearly pick it out.
SAILA (Hangul: 샤인 브라이트 RR: Syain Beulaiteu), also known as Shine Bright, four-member girl's group formed by ND Entertainment. They debuted on February 18th, 2013 with the song "Carousel", from their eponymous EP. The group consists of members SUN, MOON, DUSK, and DAWN.
SAILA gained nationwide recognition after releasing the single "09" in June 2013, which went on to become the Gaon chart's best-selling single of the month - debuting at number 1. While failing to win any domestic music award shows, the single charted in the top 10 in China, Thailand, and Japan; and top 100 in the United States and various other English speaking countries.
In an unprecedented move at the time, in 2015 SAILA signed onto management agencies for debuts in China, Thailand, and Japan. Both their debut Japanese single and studio album reached number one on the Oricon weekly charts and were subsequently certified Gold.
Known for their large international following and their interactions with fans, SAILA's popularity has been attributed to the large amount of brand endorsements, the members prolific solo activities, well balanced vocal ranges, and their broad array of musical genres.
