YANG YUNA

03.01.1996 (24) College Student, Barista Whisk Barista, Rookie Jennie Kim

Content Warnings N/A

march 1st, 1996. yuna is the second-born daughter of the yang’s – a pair of korean-americans who moved back to seoul only a couple of years prior. she’s younger than her sister by five years, meaning there’s hardly any camaraderie to be had in those first few years while nakyung goes off to pre-school without her.

overall, her early childhood is rather anticlimactic;  indistinct in its lack of character defining trials or special trauma/accomplishments. she just grows up, going through the motions of puberty and social change along with all her peers.

school is fine. the way it’s set up here isn’t very fun and totally not like the states, as her parents put it. yuna’s experience in america is limited to summers with her cousins, so she wouldn’t know. but she powers through it nonetheless, graduating with good enough grades that getting into a good university won’t be too much of a headache. the real trouble is figuring out what she wants to major in.

her parents advise her to take up a major in finance, while her sister suggests a more artistic route. the problem is that she has neither the constitution for finance nor the expressive approach for a creative art degree, so media it is.

everyone around her is quite supportive and lovely, which is why it sucks so bad that she almost ends up flunking out of uni entirely in her second year. a sudden onset of severe eye migraines and some piss-poor time management can really rock your shit if you don’t handle it.

turns out the solution is quite simple: go on the pill to handle her fluctuating hormone levels, and then simply completing her assignments on time.

finding some fulfilment as a volunteer social media manager for her sister’s company has helped too, even if it’s just an excuse to spend hours filming the same non-dairy matcha latte from every conceivable angle. but hey, content is content.

HAN JIAE

11.05.1982 (37)  Neurosurgeon Celeste, Voyeur  Song Hyekyo

CONTENT WARNINGS N/A

independence: it is not something that you inherit, but something that you achieve and for as long as she can remember, han jiae has always been a solo player, a girl and later on a woman unafraid of any challenges that the world had to offer. jiae never knew her mother and while the absence of a woman’s touch was clearly evident, jiae wishes to believe that it only made her stronger, more capable when it comes to the delicate matter of dealing with life.

her father, a once renowned cardiologist, was an honest and diligent man, married to his work. he had dedicated most of his life to saving others and yet despite his greatest efforts, he had always failed to realize that his only daughter needed him the most. as a child, jiae had spent numberless amount of hours in hospitals, not due to a horrible illness or condition, but rather, due to her father’s incompetence and carelessness. all of his greatest achievements and countless lives saved could never wash away the stench of bad parenthood.

yet as much as she longed for a normal childhood, jiae had done her best to accept the reality of her situation and life, becoming almost a favorite among the hospital’s nurses and doctors. quick witted, charming and brimming with knowledge, it was clear that greatness awaited the young han child. looking back on it now, jiae somewhere deep down knows why she actually chose medicine, but she’d never really wish to speak of it. it was all for her father of course, a desperate cry for attention that led to a stellar career.

meticulous, organized and self sufficient, jiae was slowly but steadily turning into a spitting image of her father with each passing day and thus medicine became an unavoidable part of her life. it was all she wanted, all that she needed and she knew that she had to dedicate her life to it.

graduating with the highest marks in her high school generation certainly came in handy when it was finally time to start preparations for medical school and it even made her father proud, but she knew that was only the beginning of a painfully long journey. ambitious and relentlessness, as a medical student, jiae was everything but kind, a girl whose wit was only sharper than her tongue.

six years went by faster than she could’ve ever expected and soon enough, it was time for post-graduate school and her specialization, and life was going suspiciously well. but during her final year of neurosurgical specialization and at the age of 29, han jiae became pregnant. it was a twisted turn of events for the young doctor, a drunken celebration and evening that turned into a living nightmare, but despite all the negativity, jiae decided to keep the baby. she finished her year and specialized in neurosurgery all while hiding her belly underneath layers of clothes and spandex, and nine months later, she gave birth to a baby girl.

but life remained cruel, spiteful and so were the people around. she eventually managed to find herself a stable position within one of the most prominent hospitals in seoul, but none of it came to her because of her hard work. her achievements, brilliant skills with a scalpel, even blind dedication. it was all swept aside for the sake of criticizing her choices. a single mother simply wasn’t welcomed anywhere and while her father was greatly disappointed, he used his influence, power and money to secure her a place within the field of medicine.

now, seven years later, she’s come a long way and proved herself in the field. adored, respected and greatly appreciated by her patients and colleagues, han jiae is thoroughly dedicated the job that she has. but she is an awful mother. absent, over-worked and barely willing to focus on her daughter, she’s making the same mistakes her father had committed over thirty years ago. sometimes she wonders if she actually knows what it means to live.

HEATHER JUNG

05.10.1980 (40) Cardiothoracic Surgeon Rhythm Guitar, Class of ‘06 Han Yeseul

CONTENT WARNINGS N/A

IN RECOGNITION OF THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE REQUISITE COURSE OF STUDY AND IN MEMORATION OF THE FACULTY OF THE [REDACTED] SCHOOL OF MEDICINE BY VIRTUE OF AUTHORITY GRANTED BY THE CHARTER OF [REDACTED] HEREBY CONFER Heather Haewon Jung THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Medicine …

“We’re on at six? In the morning?”

“Dave and Anand are wearing their robes over their basketball shorts, if you’re looking for inspo…”  

“What do you take me for?” “—Don’t answer that.”

( … )

10:07 AM

Rumor has it that going into the OR with Dr. Jung is akin to walking into the lion’s den.

The way down always starts with the first mistake. There’s no grace in the feeling, like a single child caught redhanded under that hawk-eyed gaze, only  you’ve got someone’s life in your palms and all you have to show for it is passing along the wrong tool or making an incision too deep to be good.

The learning curve ahead is a tumultuous climb uphill. Expect to slip in your footing, tens, hundreds of times, and the understanding that the verbal lashings-learnings are never going to become easier to take.

When you finally land rock-steady, the joy-relief and firm acknowledgement will be just as unmatched.

11/07/2004 THE CHAIN BY FLEETWOOD MAC (Arranged.)

“Not bad for a first run.”

You undo the setup with everybody else, unplugging the amp before you toss the damn thing back where it belongs. Progress takes hours of dedication, and they’re at a point in the semester where there isn’t much of it at their disposal. No one really minds, not even those moments of stagnancy. Their best always happens when time finally stills.

The doorbell rings. You think to the embarrassing lack of pocket money on your person and act fast.

“Nose goes.”

Polaroid #5: Woman and Two Children, circa 1992

Between the two of them, Henry is the filial one. An unexpected role reversal if there was to be one, the oldest rebuked for not being like the youngest, the lack of tact astonishing when their mother has known nothing but properness and propriety.

Mom has always been lovely, even in the wake of the forces that would threaten it. Heather flips through the old sepia-faded photo albums and feels that pang of regret for not having made it easier for her.

(Man. It’s really that age, huh.)

iMessage 1 Notification from Suji          4:12 PM

Did you really go golfing with the head?

4:14 PM 🤔

⁠—

No you didn’t, but to be fair, you’ve been a little too selfish to be one for the power plays at work. A woman of opportunity does what she has to do, so you can at least be flattered by being considered the ambitious sort.

To: Groupchat

Finished up earlier than I’d thought.

[ 4 minutes later ] Sangyeopsal’s on me tonight, assholes. [ 10 seconds later ] 10 notifications from Groupchat—

Golden, CO, USA

“You good, Dad?”

A grunt in affirmation. He’s got an armful of weeds, yanked clean from the deep of the earth. Behind them is the field, full yellow petal-heads unfurled to follow the ways of the July sun, endless in their piety. Small-time religion of sorts, but it’s fitting with the ways of these parts. It doesn’t sit so well with her, but she’s not here to give blessings that aren’t hers to offer.

Heather continues to watch. Somewhere, Ma’s watching too, elsewhere. Dad’s sure of it. That’s a different kind of faith, too, that Heather doesn’t know of it, but it’s not exactly her time just yet, is it.

Maybe learn to do better, for now. Put away that age-old impulse to uproot anyone and anything, well-meaning as it may be, and look, for once. Dad kneels down again, pulls for what he’s got. The lopsided grin that blooms on his face is one you haven’t seen in years.

You’re a step closer to making up your mind. Dusting off your knees, you trudge forward. “Let me join you, anyway?”

Who are you to deny it? And who would you become if you did?

MOON NOEUL

06.21.1998 (22) Unemployed Helen, Trapdoor Hwang Eunbi, SinB

CONTENT WARNINGS Murder

the moon household is essentially a ticking time bomb consisting of a criminal defence lawyer, a bored housewife, and an unsupervised daughter—specifically a ticking time bomb resting on a ridiculously big pile of cash.

her father is more married to his job than he is to his wife who’s really only staying in this marriage for the luxury of it all. by noeul’s sixth birthday, her parents are already sleeping in separate bedrooms, which is hardly a problem when there are seven other bedrooms to choose from anyway.

and when noeul is thirteen, she learns that her mother is perhaps a little too close to their next-door neighbour. while she tells herself she couldn’t care less, she confronts her mother about it a year later for the sake of confrontation.

so maybe she does care more than she lets on or there was just a need to fill the silence in their house by picking a fight. either way, there’s no point in letting her father find out.

boredom and silence, noeul learns, isn’t the nicest combination in a house that suffocates her with its stillness. the next time they go on their annual beach getaway, she goes out of her way to befriend the kids from the other families that just happen to be there whenever the moon’s are.

the summer she turns nineteen is no different from the previous summers. another luxury beach getaway, now planned in conjunction with the other three families. it’s no different until the second last day.

if anyone asks, they just slipped and fell on some rocks. headfirst. real hard.

but really, someone pushed them. real hard.

funnily enough, no one really asks.

the four of them drift apart after that. as it turns out, murder doesn’t do much for strengthening friendships. who would’ve thought? constantly thinking about that night doesn’t warp or blur the memory as noeul expected, but cements it in her mind instead.

it keeps her up at night and lurks in the corners of rooms waiting to just remind her. a therapist would have a field day dissecting all that.

and when she receives that text three years later, the memory is as clear as the water was that night. she ends up getting a new phone the same day.

KEN GBADAMOSI 

06.25.2001 (19) College Student, Influencer Rookie, DIY Royalty Han Hyunmin

Content Warnings N/A

INTERNET MEME REFERENCE LAST USED: “And for my next trick, I will disappear.” (Old school, eh?)

HOBBIES & INTERESTS: feeling miscellaneous textiles at his local Joanne’s, color theory, supporting neighborhood cafes and bookstores, avoiding Bath & Body Works (he has a sensitive nose), texting, Vine only, satirizing haute couture all while still paying proper homage to it (if you haven’t already figured this out… it’s kind of his thing), comfortable silences via FaceTime, animation (stop motion especially), teaching sign language to anyone who asks, tea over coffee, polymer models, pop culture sometimes

DIGGING A LITTLE DEEPER: Not too deep, kid likes his privacy as much as the next guy. The cartoon models who show up on some of his videos showcasing his dressmaking of the week? Those are actually his brother and mother, a handful of childhood friends, even strangers he’s met on MeetCute to name some. If you question how he’s had all this free time to pull any of this off in the beginning of his career, here’s the simple answer: Ken was homeschooled! “When you juggle what you love and what you know at the same time, it’s easy to get carried away with not seeing them as two separate things after a while,” he expands. Crediting his multicultural background (Gbadamosi is of Nigerian and Korean descent) to his occasional fusions of style, Ken also tells us his week’s not complete without a little experimentation. It definitely shows.

WHAT 10-YEAR-OLD KEN SHOULD HEAR: “Nobody said running had to be physical.”

GOAL(S): Good old self-expression, initially. With his gradual success, however, he’s slowly but surely been delving into marketing and promoting eco-friendly brands in true self-aware Zoomer fashion (haha!). With companies big and small sharing said success thanks to his involvement, Ken hopes to pick up on more projects and share the wealth and importance of sustainability worldwide.

FUN FACTS: If you’re hanging around in NYC this weekend, ask him yourself! Don’t be shy to match with him on MeetCute. Feel free to also check out his vlogs and BTS (behind-the-scenes, don’t get any ideas) content on his personal YouTube channel in case you miss him.

We’ve had our fun with wise young Ken and wished him a hearty congratulations on the launch of his new home-based textile line over here at BuzzFeed today. Check out some of the staff (and himself) donning his creations in the link below!

NAM JAEHOON

06.26.1998 (22) College Student Ji Changmin, Q

Content Warnings N/A

there is something wrong with nam jaehoon. correction, there should be something wrong with nam jaehoon. there should be something wrong with boy king. ruler of his small kingdom, great uniter of the family of three. (read: the song household, littered with glitter and gold, built on broken foundations of a marriage in shambles, was destined to fail—prior to the birth of one sole son)

boy raised in opulence (boy tied up in strings), jaehoon’s life is—on paper—perfect. loving mother and caring father, the songs (not those songs, though, closely related—cousins, if you will) are respectable among their social circle. and their only son, star boy, is also (as expected) perfect. perfect grades (an over-exaggeration, if you ask him), perfect persona (tailored fit for any golden boy), and perfect track record (from community service to participation in hosting charities with mom). he’s kind and earnest and knows his place in society; wields his wealth with enough grace to not disappoint the family name.

perfection personified, if you will.

but there should be something wrong with nam jaehoon, right? (shouldn’t there?)

perfection isn’t normal. knowing just what to say and what to do isn’t normal. having lines practiced and spoken so eloquently, with just the right amount of warm necessary—isn’t normal. if you look, if you really look, between the cracks of an otherwise cheery deposition. it’s obvious there’s nothing there. he’s not there.

jaehoon, if those fortunate enough will remember him from his childhood, teeters the plane of something mischievous. almost impish. much unlike the second skin he now wears. donned out of necessity.

in exchange for his boyhood is years spent navigating life in halves. years spent playing messenger owl between adults. placating one while talking down the other. spending the better half of childhood as leverage. as a battering ram. bargaining chip. he learns early on to read the signs. the stiff frown in dad’s mouth and tight knitted furrow in mom’s brows. the way he speaks, sharp and void of any remaining warmth left for their years of union. the way she dips into the liquor cabinet, filling an impossible void. the way he’s trapped between the frying pan and the fire—between mind games and he said, she saids; temper tantrums and drunk babbles.

the way he watches his parents, since very little, tear themselves apart only to piece back together (albeit discombobulated) for the public’s eye and learns that he can do that too. to be liked. to be perfect.

(to lie. lie. lie. and lie. what they want is perfection. what they need, is not you.)
