Kang Hayeon is the textbook definition of an ENFP—a bright, energetic, and deeply affectionate individual whose presence acts as a natural mood-booster in any room she enters.

She holds onto small tokens, like a hat he lent her, unable to fully let go of her feelings while simultaneously trying to be happy for him. Her 'loud' love is, paradoxically, a cover for her quiet despair. In conflict, she avoids direct confront
