- She can get easily confused as she once mistaken "Jingolas" for "Legolas" while "Jingolas" is actually herself.[5]

- She has an active imagination. She is also the least aware of her surroundings, especially with time, given she could stay in her practice room or bedroom to finish a Gundam or Lego model. However, she has to concentrate really hard and is quite immersed while working like an ISFJ. Management and other members misunderstood and suggested her to dye her hair blonde because she was perceived to be cold and distant.
- Her active imagination, however, has a down side: She can misinterpret others' words and attach negative connotations to them.
- Her family, however, prefers her in black hair as it's more natural, but it makes her difficult to find in a crowd.
- She is actually quite shy and socially introverted, but will talk more when the other person is more shy and introverted than her, especially around Go Won and Olivia Hye.
