Talking about her true personality, Oh My Girl Arin said she's the quiet time. She doesn't like to talk too much and prefers to be alone.
As the maknae of Oh My Girl, fans think she's the cutest and brightest member of the group. But surprisingly, Arin said the descriptions are far from who she really is as a person.
Arin also said she struggles with opening up. She rarely talks about her feelings with her family. And when she first joined Oh My Girl, she couldn't also tell her unnies what she was feeling so they would sometimes get upset.
But over the years, Oh My Girl Arin also learned how to adjust and become more open with other people.
