Her childhood dream was to be a diplomat! I definitely can see her being the peacemaker of the group.

Hmm.. I find it quite strange.. 
"She got scouted by Source Music when she was eating with APRIL Hyunjoo"
but aren't APRIL debuted months later than Gfriend?
Gfriend debuted on January 15, 2015 while APRIL debuted on August 24, 2015.

that sentence seems like Hyunjoo is already debuted as APRIL. at the time Umji scouted, Hyunjoo surely haven't debuted yet. so, it's not correct to add "APRIL" before her name.
.... but it just me being nitpicky :P

oh that's why hahaha. Your post made me confuse, because she could've been a trainee at the time and then the timeline would be correct.
