BLACKMAIL

● has tried to stay sober for gigs but has lied multiple times in order to keep modeling for YSL, even fakes his drug tests. YSL knows but keep it under wraps because he is their biggest money maker.

● was caught smashing cars after a promotional event because his anger about his insecurities got out of control one night where someone insulted his job and lack of security and he left unscathed, or so he thought.

FAMILY LIFE

DRUGS TW. ALCOHOL TW.

well, the park family isn’t all that interesting. average family and average kid. 

his parents valerie and horton (goes by henry) park were local grocery shop owners, they worked hard for what they have and mostly used kai to get into gigs, whether it was child modeling, commercial acting, they thought their kid could make it big! like justin bieber when he was discovered by usher!

they would make kai sit in front of their grocery store with a bucket and sing say my name over and over - none of it ever worked and they were growing frustrated. they started to take out their frustration on him, forcing him to be better when kai didn’t know any better? he couldn’t do what they wanted to but he wanted so bad to support his family so he landed a movie role at the age of 7, it was kind of like those holiday movies like home alone that’s played every holiday season and that’s how he got his fame. a child actor that blew up once but god, it was hard to get any gigs after that.

his parents overworked him so much, yelled and berated the poor kid that his entire self esteem just dropped. asian parent expectations ? yeah. he felt like he failed them and it just didn’t go well after every failed audition, his parents saw him as a failure but like? it was never him who wanted to go into it

but kai has remained optimistic that he would get his big break one day, he acted in school plays, got the lead in some of them but his dream was shattered when he graduated and still couldn’t get any leads in shows other than being a back character and being seen as a complete and total flop. his parents stopped caring about his career at 17 knowing he would not go anywhere, it hurts him still this day :/

he turned to smoking weed / alcohol to cope, like the once optimistic boy who saw the world in a different and bright lens fell apart just uses that to cope and what not, then he got his break modeling!! but did his parents care? no. he became YSL’s brand ambassador and top model. he got kicked out of a lot of other modeling jobs solely because kai cannot stay sober at all but YSL knows and keeps it under wraps because he draws them a huge income but in order to stay ambassador he has to keep “sober” he’s better at faking it more than a lot of people. 

kai.. isn’t very lucky in his career, he has no ambitions other than wanting to be an actor but is it for him or for his parents? he has a lot yet to figure out. 

FUN FACTS / PERSONALITY

kai is.. uh kai is naive. he has always been naive growing up, he’s the kid at the park with the biggest smile on his face - head empty type shit. kai is soft.. and full of love, he falls in love easily.. he doesn’t know what’s good for him.

he’s god... he has such an aloof type personality, you could insult him and he’d think you’re complimenting him because he’s a fucking dumbass and he doesn’t know any better, never has. all he wants to do is please people - such a HUGE people pleaser. 

a lot of his outgoing personality is a front, on the low (only the real onez know streaks dni) he’s broken, like he’s so sad when he isn’t sober like this boy if you’re talking to him? most likely 91% of t he time he is high i promise you ! he doesn’t wanna deal with life sober and that’s what he does 

anyways, like he just puts up a front it's literally all a front like when hes alone he's miserable and upset he cant get any gigs anywhere and just numbs that w drugs and then once he leaves his room he's chipper and a completely different person right?

also, the reason why kai chases people that are unattainable is because kai .. knows, he knows they won’t like him back. he knows that they don’t see him as anything so it won’t hurt when they reject him because he knows. it’s better to chase people that he knows can’t break his heart bc he knows he’s not really worth looking at :/ they’re not like job offers that keep shooting him down

he acts now in yale’s theatre program, he’s won an award for it but wants so bad to clean his image in the public he doesn’t want to be seen as someone useless with no ambition but someone who can do things!! how do you think that’s going for him?

he loves to be the life of the party, if he isn’t making you happy he will try and if you insult him and he isn’t in love w u, he’ll have to think for 5 hours and cry in his room

yes he cries in his room. anyway that’s it i dont think i have anything extensive to add, kai’s simple, dumb and in loveand wants to be loved and appreciated.

@nick (or anyone w sibs) my little bros applying Pton early this year, he loves it. i need advice on how involved to be-i think i can help improve chances/essays except technically idk why i got in and i dont want to take over his voice. also he's pre-med so i sort of wish he'd pick a less grueling school (yale,stan). my parents are prestige focused and expect him to get in (ignoring the difficulty), so he's super stressed.

Response from Bateman:

My brother’s also a rising senior in hs. I’m sure I’ll end up reading his essays/application, but really it has nothing to do with me so I don’t feel that it’s appropriate to give my opinion. I’ll probably help him pick schools based off what he wants and figure out how to show the version of himself he wants readers to see. Above all just prepare him in case things don’t pan out the way he/your parents hope- it’s unhealthy to obsess over schools that have such a ridiculous acceptance rate

Response from Nick Carraway:

I helped my sister a lot with college app essays. I’m really good at making myself look slightly better on paper than I actually am, so I did the same for her. I offered to do the same for my cousin who is applying to Princeton this year. I don’t see anything wrong with this (just editing, making things sound better, giving constructive feedback when essays could clearly be stronger). My sister would never have gotten into any sort of Ivy, though. We’re very different academically (though she is going to a great school for a 6 year Physical Therapy program; it was her top choice).

As far as the debate about going to harvard/stanford because your brother is premed. I think it’s unnecessary to consider this, but maybe this is because I haven’t struggled as a premed here. Your brother could have the exact experience I have had. But if you’re really worried about it, just have him apply to harvard and stanford. You can cross that bridge when/if he actually gets into any of these schools.

Response from Princess Mia:

I agree with what’s been said above, but I just want to stress that you should be really careful about how much influence you’re exerting. I also have a younger sibling, and I personally wouldn’t want to overstate my opinion. I’m sure I’ll read the essays through for grammar stuff, but I’m not going to give any advice beyond grammatical or structural elements, kind of like how a teacher reading it would. The other thing that you want to keep in mind is that Princeton is an insanely selective school, and his odds of getting in are really low just right off the bat. Basically what I’m saying is that you don’t want to make it your fault that he doesn’t get in. If you take over his application too much, regardless of whether it pushes the needle either way, you don’t want to be blamed for getting him rejected. At the end of the day, it’s his application. He can figure it out himself, as I’m sure you did. You just don’t want him to be resentful later I guess. The same goes for suggesting other schools. Say he did go to Yale or something and hated it, you don’t want that to be your fault. Just do your best to be supportive! Everything happens for a reason, and I’m sure it will work out in the end.
