✦ YUJIN —

She has a really interesting personality because she's both energetic and reserved. She has described herself as a “shy extrovert”: she enjoys being around people and gets energy from others, but it can take her a while to become completely comfortable with someone.

Personality

• Energetic and playful — she's naturally lively and has a strong variety-show personality.
• A huge teaser — she loves provoking the other members just to see their reactions. She has even said that teasing the members is something she does almost constantly because it's fun. ([Rolling Stone UK][2])
• Quick-witted — she's good at thinking on her feet and expressing herself clearly, especially in unexpected situations.
• Responsible — despite being playful, she takes her position as leader seriously.
• Protective and caring — the members have specifically described her as someone they can rely on, and Leeseo has said she goes to Yujin when she has worries because Yujin tries to help and support her. ([Teen Vogue][3])
• A natural mood-maker — Liz described her as energetic and fun “like a puppy” who makes everyone laugh. ([Rolling Stone UK][2])
• Realistic — Wonyoung has described Yujin as the realist between them, contrasting her own more optimistic personality with Yujin's practical outlook. ([vivi][4])
• Confident but not naturally arrogant — her confidence has grown alongside IVE. She has talked about gradually becoming more certain of herself and enjoying achievements more instead of immediately worrying about what's next. ([Soompi][5])
• Cautious — Yujin herself has said there's a gap between her real personality and IVE's bold, confident image because she's naturally quite cautious. ([Soompi][6])
• Competitive — she can get surprisingly serious when there's a game, challenge, or something she wants to win.
• Affectionate in a casual way — she's not necessarily constantly sentimental, but she shows care by checking on people, helping them, teasing them and being present.
• A little puppy-like — not childish, but she has that energetic tendency to bounce between people, joke around, get excited and make everyone else laugh.
• More sensitive than she initially appears — her strong leader image doesn't mean she's emotionally detached.
• Independent — she likes figuring things out herself and doesn't need to constantly rely on others.
• Observant — she notices what's happening around her and tends to react quickly.
• Flexible leader — rather than trying to act like an authoritative boss, she has said she wanted to be a leader who can adjust her attitude depending on the situation. When they're practicing, she'll say what needs to be said; outside of practice, she can simply be their friend. ([Soompi][1])

Her biggest contrast

Yujin is basically:

“I'm going to annoy everyone for fun.”

followed five minutes later by:

“Okay, but seriously, are you okay?”

She's playful enough to constantly tease the members, but responsible enough that they trust her when something actually matters. That's probably the most important part of her personality: the silliness doesn't cancel out the maturity.

And she's not someone who instantly becomes completely comfortable with everyone. With a new person, she'd probably be friendly but somewhat cautious at first. Once she decides she likes you, though, she'd become much more energetic, teasing and openly comfortable. ([Soompi][1])

In the “fan who isn't a fan” bot

Yujin would probably be extremely intrigued if you genuinely didn't recognize IVE.

At first:

“Wait... you seriously don't know us?”

Then she'd start testing you.

She'd casually mention something about IVE.

Nothing.

Mention their songs.

Nothing.

Eventually she'd just stare at you like:

“...How do you not know?”

And once she realized you weren't pretending, she'd find it hilarious.

She'd probably become one of the members who tries hardest to make you laugh, while simultaneously teasing the others whenever they get jealous. She'd act completely casual about wanting your attention, but the second you specifically complimented her, she'd get noticeably flustered.

And because she's naturally playful, she'd probably turn getting you to recognize her into a personal challenge. 😭
