ಇ. Nicknames
╰┈➤ Lala
Hyunjin gave this to her and it's the most used and popular nickname for her
╰┈➤ Yu
Jisung's creation as Kala likes to call him 'Han' multiple times way (hananananananan), so he did the same and started calling her yuyuyuyuyuyuyu from Ryu, her family name, but 'Ryu' is quite hard to say, so he just made it to 'Yu'
╰┈➤ Kalie
Chan's nickname for her. Kala is like his 5-year-old daughter, so he likes to call her cutely; Kalieee~
╰┈➤ Handsomely beautiful yeoja
Yeoja is a 'girl' in Korean. STAY gave this to her because she can look beautiful and handsome at the same time
╰┈➤ Eomma maknae
Made by STAY as well. She is the maknae, but she is also the one who takes care of all of her members the most. Cooking for them, feeding them, searching for their missing stuff and getting that 'it wasn't there earlier' moment each time, helping them pack whenever they go overseas (mostly Jisung because this guy always forgets his things), fixing their perform outfits and hair, tidying up their room because like a mother she can't stand a messy room, listening to their every story and complaints really well, and other things that a mother does, you name it
╰┈➤ Storyteller singer
When she sings, she sings the lyrics like she's telling a story. The general public/listeners made this nickname

ಇ. Social media
╰┈➤ Instagram: kalalala (say it like Baymax's fist bump 'balalala')
╰┈➤ On her Instagram story she often shares songs, cat videos, funny videos, members' birthdays, and STAY's content like song and dance covers, drawing, editing, STAY vlog, etc.
╰┈➤ She doesn't have another official personal platform, but you can definitely expect her to have secret accounts

╰┈➤ But always scolding Changbin because this one nephew is a rebel and doesn't listen to her

ಇ. Character in SKZ Universe
╰┈➤ Minho's best friend who supports him in every condition
╰┈➤ In the storyline of 'Mixtape: On Track', if Hyunjin had Jeongin as the best friend, Minho got Kala
╰┈➤ She always encourages him to get a move on the girl (the actress from the mv). That's why Minho could always be one step ahead of Hyunjin
╰┈➤ In the SKZFLIX storyline, Minho finally realizes that she's from another universe and planning on leaving him
╰┈➤ She then found Felix to replace her as Minho's best friend and to be the one who is always on his side
(i swear i can make another whole story from this but no thx)

ಇ. Before joining JYPE, she regularly busked in the city square with her first love (read: her guitar) on the weekend
ಇ. That was how she was found by casting staff while doing busking at her usual place
ಇ. Was training for 2 years after passing the audition
ಇ. Transferred school to Seoul and lived at the dorm of trainees
ಇ. Roommate with Ryujin for those training years
ಇ. Didn't really have close friends at the company, so she always looked like a lonely loser
ಇ. She was supposed to debut as a solo singer, but decided to accept Chan's offer to join the group after a long consideration
ಇ. JYP didn't approve Chan's request at first because Kala was like JYPE's secret weapon at the time, so she wasn't supposed to be known until her solo debut
ಇ. It wasn't easy to persuade and convince JYP, but Chan managed to do it because he believed Kala belonged to Stray Kids

ಇ. Kala was really awkward and quiet in their earlier times. She had no clue how to act around the boys as she never really had a male friend before, aside from the fact that she acts like a boy all the time
ಇ. She was scared that she would do something that made the boys uncomfortable, so she always held back and didn't talk much
ಇ. Finally loosen up in Stray Kids survival era. Now they're inseparable

ಇ. After the survival show ended, she moved to their new dorm, leaving Ryujin who at that point was like her half-soul
ಇ. She got her own room and bathroom because that's the MOST APPROPRIATE WAY to live with eight boys
ಇ. And at the current dorm, she lives with Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin, and Han

ಇ. Some luxury brands want her to be their brand ambassador, but she turns them all down
ಇ. Why you may ask. Well, she has a best friend in middle school back in Jeju. There will be more explanation for their relationship, but the point here is this friend of hers has a clothing brand and she wants to support her the best she can
ಇ. So instead of accepting the deal with a luxury brand, she told the company she wanted to be the ambassador of her friend's local clothing brand called Forget Me Not (yes the flower) or well known as FMN

ಇ. She has a live session every month where she sings songs STAYs request her in the comment
ಇ. The live session is called 'Kalaoke'
ಇ. She also has a gaming live session called 'Kala's PC Bang'. PC bang is an 'internet cafe' in Korean
ಇ. This live session is formatted like a streamer (the game she's playing covers the entire screen while her self-camera is placed in the corner of the screen. pls tell me u get it)
