Wheein’s height is only 158 cm, mentioned in their song 1cm. Hwasa’s is 159, Solar’s is 160, and Moonbyul’s is 161.8 (don’t leave off the .8). Wheein’s sexuality is unknown, as all four play it close to the chest. She has mentioned dating, but avoids saying who. Wheein is the quietest member, not the loudest. I think she’s up to 11 tattoos now. Her mother is an artist, her parents divorced when she was young,and twice now her father has embarrassed and caused trouble for her and her mother by his tendency to get heavily into debt. Wheein is the most naturally funny of the members, with a flair for making funny remarks off the cuff. She’s also the most introverted and shy of the group despite her chosen occupation, and has expressed regret over being a celebrity.
