what would ur ideal scent for a candle be ... no reason ... just curious 👀

jack of all trades, master of none. that would probably be the best and most accurate way to describe shin jiahn. she's always on the lookout for the next moneymaker, the next fad in markets. hopping from hyperfixation to hyperfixation, leaving a trail of unfinished projects behind as she looks for the next big thing. her small business will take off for sure this time she says, something that friends and acquaintances and probably friends of acquaintances have heard one too many times already. but she truly does believe that it will happen. one of her tiktoks, or instagram reels, or youtube shorts will go viral one day soon. she just knows it. (maybe it's wishful thinking. maybe it's maybelline.)

YH STUDENT ID: Connor Han

AKA The Desperate — Student athlete on the verge of losing their scholarship. 

Also Known As: Han Jihwan

Introduction

who is he, what is he, if he’s not a hockey player? that’s something that connor never wants to find out. the entire reason he’s in south korea in the first place is to play; he had a better chance of making the national team here than he did at home in canada. what’s an undersized forward supposed to do there other than graduate from high school and join a beer league when there’s nothing else to play for anymore? alas, after back to back concussions in his first year and a struggle to even dress for a game in his second year, connor might be looking at the end of his career coming sooner than he ever thought. when hockey starts back up this fall, he has something to prove about his game.

connor is inspired by both real life athletes and fictional characters, drawing inspiration from real life nhl players such as kevin he, dylan cozens or jack quinn, and brad marchand, as well as the fictional tv shows shoresy and letterkenny, especially the titular character shoresy himself and letterkenny recurring characters reilley and jonesy.

YH STUDENT ID: Park Soojung

AKA The Otaku — Obsessed with anime, mangas, and cosplay they are always representing the fictional world with no shame around campus.

Minor: Music Composition

Introduction 

She was named Park "Marisol" Soojung, Marisol was named after the popular Mexican telenovela series that premiered in 1996 Marisol. The name is Sea and Sun, giving Marisol zero boundaries and where and what she can conquer. Her parent's hope was that she would become strong, gracious, and proud to be passionate and love life and all that it has to offer, regardless of the struggles and heartbreaks she will encounter. She can be true to herself as she grows into a society that may or may not accept her for who she is. They still gave her a Korean name because her grandparents and agreed with Soojung. 

Marisol grew up traveling around the world with her family, but as she grew up in many different cultures, she never felt quite at home until she lived in Japan for four years of high school. Not only did she fall in love with the culture, food, and people, but she also fell in love with Anime, Manga, and Gaming. Everything from the artwork to the production details. Marisol wanted to do the same thing and become a manga artist. Deciding to study this, she moved to South Korea, which led to her wishing to minor in music composition because she wanted to create her own music for her anime. She was determined to be the president when she joined the Anime Club in her second year. While she was an otaku in every sense of the world, she did her best not to shove it down anyone's throat unless they asked. That did not stop her from representing anime through earrings, bags, phone cases, rings, or other types of merchandise. If you ever spot Marisol, she is sure to carry around a manga or have a sketchbook or iPad watching anime or drawing mangas. Whatever it is, you will see her favorite hobby on display.

There is more to Marisol than anime, manga, and gaming. It takes very little to have her open up, but when you do unfold layers, you will discover that she is not as bright or as happy as she tends to display.

YH STUDENT ID: San Luis Vega

AKA The Mascot – Sweating under their costume, their number one priority is keeping their identity hidden from everyone.

Also Known As: Sunny

Birthdate & age: February 14, 2002 (23)

School year: 3rd year undergraduate

Program: Architecture (BArch)

Minor: Material Art, Woodworking

Clubs: Antares (Treasurer), Student Body Government (Treasurer), Dungeons and Dragons (President), Chess (Vice President)

Sports: Weightlifting

Housing: Gaeum Building

Please refer to our student handbook for any questions!

Introduction

That part time cashier at GS25 who knows exactly how interesting he is but pretends not to notice? That's Sunny. At first glance, he's an enigma, the type to flip a drafting pen between his fingers with perfect precision while breaking down philosophical deep meanings in rap lyrics on the radio. But watch him anonymously perform as the dragon mascot and you'll see flashes of something deeper, more genuine than his edgy e-boy exterior suggests. Voted "Most Likely to Be a Complicated Ex" in High School, Sunny is actually the most hopeless of romantics, but he would rather eat glass than admit it.

His quiet charm will draw you in, and for Sunny, that's the power of connection. But don't forget he's someone who learned to build bridges before he learned that some people preferred walls. Life is just a blueprint, and everyone is waiting for a space they belong.

Sometimes selectively mute with strangers, not to be rude, but a calculated reticence that observes before engaging. Often described as funny, he's also somewhat intense, determined, and overly protective. If you happen to be one of the people he trusts, he will love you down with a fierce, unwavering loyalty, especially if he considers you part of his circle. However, there is still a vulnerability that exists beneath the surface that only those with patience enough find. Despite his usually cool demeanor, this big-hearted dancing architect is passionate about the things he loves and is always up for attending events around campus, especially if they have free food!

YH STUDENT ID: Jang 'Avery' Seoyeon

AKA The Chair – Represents Ophiuchus itself and acts as the silent gravity that keeps the others in orbit. Every favor flows through them, and every mistake reports back.

Birthdate & age: October 17, 2002 (22)

School year: 3rd year undergraduate

Program: Business Administration (BBA)

Clubs: Ophiuchus, Chess (President) Horseback Riding,

Sports: Fencing (Captain)

Housing: Gaeum Building

Introduction

"Your daughter is such a beauty! I'm sure the spirits are watching over her."

Fuck those stupid fucking spirits, fuck those angels, fuck that god. Fuck that stupid fantastical bullshit this family has been carrying on for years — why do these people believe in all the lies her family feeds them? All her relatives claim they are carrying out gods will; does that god even exist? they claim the serpent spirits do not appreciate sinners — are they themselves not sinners? All the illegal crimes committed underneath the front of their flourishing company; are they not sins?

Seoyeon is twelve when she is first introduced to the cult church members — they called her gifted; those abilities were not the gifts of their beloved spirits; they were something she worked hard for and for it to be reduced down to a.. gift? how fucking ridiculous. They claimed the serpent spirits have bestowed her a name — Avery; it might be the only good thing that dammend church provided her with.

Avery is a highschool student when they first invite her to join a worship service; she declines. The invitations don't stop until she finally agrees to visit once — that place was a joke filled with dramatics. Angel — they called her but did they know that she's falling from a precipice that she tripped off long ago? "You're so pure." they say. Do they know, she's forsaken? The original sinner but soon they'll know.

Avery learns to grow numb to the sight of the punishments for sinners — they ask for mercy, for saving from her but she decides to turn away at every moment. She's naturally enrolled into Yeonhwa — a legacy student with no academic achievements some claimed, yet her grades were better than all of them combined. Ophiuchus's Chair; a place only worthy of a serpent bearer — that title is her's and her's only.

The Serpent Bearer rules the thirteen and school with an iron fist — making sure that nothing is out of order; anyone that dares to challenge the authority of Ophiuchus will go through some.. trials and warnings. After all.. it's natural for a serpent bearer to punish anyone that dares question them, isn't it?

YH STUDENT ID: Wang Yijeong

AKA The Former – Ex-member that got kicked out over… circumstances.

Birthdate & age: December 31, 2002 (22)

School year: 3rd year undergraduate

Program: Law (LLB)

Clubs: Horseback Riding,

Housing: Gaeum Building

Please refer to our student handbook for any questions!

Introduction

an inhale, a breath. yijeong quietly kneels before the gayageum and takes another breath. curling his fingers, he hesitates placing them on top of the stringed instrument and instead opts to quietly gaze at it, waiting—for the knock to come, for the silly laugh to echo, for the gayageum to bleed, for him to lose the hesitation. because it is one thing to be certain that his grandpa would want him to continue playing and another to actually be able to do it.

when he lifts his hands, it becomes evident to anyone who might be able to observe that the wounds are already barely noticeable. because the passage of time continues to flow even when you will and beg it not to — and wounds heal regardless of you wanting them to stay. his vengeance has come to pass, and it will never bring his grandpa back. 

a strum, two. screeeeech. the familiar sound of a gentle strum is replaced by a thin shrieking sound only yijeong could hear. three, four, screeeeeech. la, screeeeeech. do, screeeeech. screeeeeech. screeeeeech. he doesn’t know how far he gets, only that his hands are trembling from the effort by the time he wrenches his hands away, his brows forced into a furrow while a thin sheen of sweat appeared by his temple. it’s punishment, his older cousin would have lamented, remember, cousin? you will never be allowed to want more than you should.

(hailing from a prominent military family, wang yijeong is the eldest son of general wang’s eldest daughter (second child). in paper, he had raised yijeong himself, shaping him to just be as astute, as strong. in actuality, yijeong is raised by his grandfather’s eldest grandson—older by ten years—and as terrifying as an uninhibited golden child might be in the face of a budding, even more brilliant one. from a young age, yijeong is taught not to cross lines he’s not supposed to, to not want something too much lest it be taken away as he would never deserve it, to allow punishment be dealt upon him for any reason sufficient enough to warrant the pain. with the pride of a wang, yijeong is taught to stand taller than others. with the shame of being a second grandson and an abandoned son, yijeong is taught to kneel before his elders.

he first learns the gayageum at fourteen, when he meets his paternal grandfather for the first time, and begrudgingly begins to learn from him. yijeong takes to music like a fish to water; his grandpa hadn’t thought him capable of having such gentle hands and such tender gaze before seeing him pluck the strings of his gayageum in the way only yijeong seemed to be capable of. it’s a secret kept close to his heart, something only he and his grandpa knew. even after high school, even after college, even after ophiuchus.

his admission into yeonhwa was his guarantee into ophiuchus. his bloodline guaranteed it, his brilliance only an accessory. studying the law before he’s expected to enter the military, yijeong signified the same within ophiuchus—diplomatically dealing with issues as necessitated, cleaning up as he should, breaking others where he must. 

contrary to musicians’ hands, yijeong’s are far more familiar with the memory of violence than that of gentleness. while he wouldn’t call himself a violent person and while he usually defaults to violence only when his hand is forced to, yijeong is a far cry from a pacifist. he has used his hands far more to ensure his protection and to strike before he himself is struck than use it to pluck the strings of the gayageum, to press on ivory keys. 

in hindsight, yijeong has always known there was a consequence to pay for wanting to keep something close to him, when he begins wanting more than he should. he had turned complacent, and so after all of it, it would turn out that the source of the tragedy itself was him all along. but before that.

he finds his failure in the form of his grandpa’s ruined gayageums, his workshop ransacked and trashed overnight which only speeds up the deterioration of his health. within the confines of his grandpa’s small world, there is only him and yijeong. and yijeong is the only one with people holding grudges heavy enough to destroy. and they do. his grandpa dies only months later.

yijeong’s grief materializes into the only thing most familiar to his touch—violence. and he’s warned, there are people powerful enough in that circle to put you in place. even ophiuchus cannot cover for you. in response, yijeong extends to those people the grace of showing them what a pacifist must look like—by pacifying them to the point of confinement and injury. and while ophiuchus might not cover for him, the wangs will. the wangs must. 

on his junior year, ophiuchus turns its back on him and yijeong himself walks away. and yijeong can no longer play nor listen to music at all.)

YH STUDENT ID: Jeong Hwaryun

AKA The Puppet Master – Never seen pulling strings, but somehow everyone dances.

Birthdate & age: June 08, 2002 (23)

School year: 2nd year undergraduate

Program: Medicine (Premed)

Minor: Psychology

Clubs: Student Body Government (President). Polaris, Horseback riding,

Sports: Taekwondo (Assistant Captain)

Housing: Nuri Hall

Please refer to our student handbook for any questions!

Introduction

the world is a little muddy in the eyes of hwaryun.

he’s been told before that red suits him; the colour of passion, bravery, and love. yet all he sees is a dark yellowish blue. it doesn’t bothers him much that now he’s grown up, he’s more fixated on his university life now.

hwaryun knows the things people talks about him. the ideal student with excellent grades and leadership, and also a friendly individual who gets along with almost everyone. if any doubts and troubles arises, you can count on him and he will get the job done. that’s how it should be. people should rely on hwaryun more, and see him as capable and responsible.

an excellent record, a smile, and heart-to-heart talk is all that’s needed for words to take control of a person’s emotions and actions. no one would suspect a thing, right? it’s not harming anyone either, it’ll be fine.

except, the guilt eats at his own heart. hwaryun’s heart isn’t as beautiful as it seems, he knows this at the depths of his soul. he’s not a hero with a red heart.

even so, despite the muddy colours—the world is still beautiful in his eyes, and hwaryun wants to save the lives of people in it.

YH STUDENT ID: Nam Junho

AKA The Ghostwriter – Writes half the campus’s papers. Takes cash, direct deposit or secrets.

Program: Music Production, Studio Recording (BA)

Housing: B612 Building

Please refer to our student handbook for any questions!

Introduction

somehow, some way; if if it's meant to be, it will find you ㅡ that's nam junho's motto. seemingly living his life with ease, junho gets to study what he wants with parental support, but also has the smarts to pull him back up if everything crashed and burned and he had to start over with something new; easy going, carefree, relaxedㅡ all are words that could easily describe him yet don't feel like enough. even standing next to him, he feels distant and closed off like he’s somewhere else, all while smiling at you warmly as he listens to you talk. he’ll tell you things honestly but it never feels like the full picture. he seems to be chasing something but you can’t figure out what. truthfully? junho doesn't know either. he finds new interests, tries new things, develops different hobbies, yet he always comes back to music: the one and only thing he's known his whole life that just feels right. he wants to do it for the rest of his life if he could, but can he? he doesn't know. it might seem like he has his act together, and that he even has the time to spare to write others' papers for them on top of his own studies, clubs, and general social life but he couldn't say with certainty that he has everything figured out. he doesn't think anyone can, really (and if they do, he believes they're lying) - but what he does know is that music always has beenㅡand still isㅡthere for him to try expressing what he's thinking and feeling as he navigates life. ghost writing just happens to also offer him something he can benefit off of aside from the money he gets in returnㅡ like the gossip, secrets, and stories he hears, which he can use to write songs. it's only fair he gets something out of his services, right?

YH STUDENT ID: Phoenix Moon

AKA The Faculty's Favorite – Gets away with things no one else could and no one knows why.

Birthdate & age: August 15, 2002 (22)

School year: 2nd year undergraduate

Program: Fashion Design (BA)

Clubs: Lotus FM (Evening Show DJ)

Sports: Ice Hockey

Housing: Gaeum Building

Please refer to our student handbook for any questions!

Introduction

Phoenix Moon knows the vineyard and winery of his Dad’s in the Southeast of England like the back of his hand. After school, he would always hang around all afternoon having a chat with the visitors in between his homework sessions. He was only as brilliant in English, Biology, Physical Education and the Arts but he still tried his best even if he was pretty much hopeless in the other subjects. His Mom always says that he could always join her in his event planning business when he gets older if he wants to but Phoenix soon discovers that he will have other plans of his own. 

Come the age of thirteen, the teenager found a strong passion for ice hockey as he steadily progressed from being a left forward to playing center. He even went on to play with a team which was part of the England Youth Ice Hockey Club for another two years after graduating from secondary school before moving to Bordeaux, France in 2022 to pursue his studies in Fashion Design. He aspires to become an independent designer or a celebrity stylist someday, and have no goals to actually play ice hockey more professionally. 

The first year at the Fashion Design institute seemed to be going perfect until he finds himself on a plane bound to South Korea in February 2025, heart filled with bitterness and resentment as his journey in Bordeaux is unexpectedly cut short. In March 2025, he begins his academic year with Yeonhwa University as a transfer student in his second year. Rumours say that he was expelled from his previous university for setting the dean’s office on fire, some say it was because the university was accepting bribes and perhaps the Moon’s obviously had no tolerance for it. When asked, he always says that he came here because he wanted to write a new chapter in his life and that there wasn’t any particular reason behind his decision. Something wasn’t really adding up but perhaps the truth will always remain a mystery.

Phoenix warms up to others really fast, a quirky one that he is. A sweet talker with a hint of mischief and playfulness and sometimes with no filter over his mouth. He’s very passionate and dedicated when it comes to ice hockey, fashion design and all else that captures his heart a ton. He’s highly observant and knows just what to say whether out of pure honesty or what someone really wants to hear. Maybe it’s that natural charm, quick wit and playful spirit that he holds which has everyone wrapped around his finger in no time.

YH STUDENT ID: Baek Junhee

AKA The Tortured Artist – Feels alienated from society. Finds solace in expressing their pain and despair through creative outlets.

Birthdate & age: October 31, 2001 (23)

School year: 4th year undergraduate

Program: Sculpture (BA)

Minor: Art History

Clubs: Baduk, Photography, Capella

Housing: Nuri Hall

Please refer to our student handbook for any questions!

Introduction 

what is the best thing about you?

you want the honest answer? i don’t think there’s anything remotely great about me... though i’ve been told i’ve an eye for art and that they’ve always liked my works? 

who are the important people in your life?

i do care about a lot of people. they don’t seem to like me that much, but that’s fine, i guess...

what made you decide to study sculpture?

i just like to make objects—things i can hold in my hands. i love form and texture. not only in my artwork, but in other aspects of life as well. i like to touch things before i buy them. i run my hands over the trunks of trees. i pick up seashells, pine cones, found objects, just to see how much they weigh, how they turn and move through space, where they are smooth or rough or soft, how the form pushes against the air or welcomes it in. i don’t know... the world just makes more sense to me in three dimensions.

YH STUDENT ID: Asakura Touma

AKA The Regret – Every professor brings them up as a cautionary tale. They were almost someone.

Birthdate & age: April 17, 2001 (24)

School year: 3rd year undergraduate

Program: Psychology (BA)

Minor: Dance

Clubs: Modern Dance (Captain) Polaris, Paranormal

Housing: B612 Building

Please refer to our student handbook for any questions!

Introduction

touma had a lot going on, at least back then.

getting a scholarship for something he loved was his dream, and against all odds, he managed to get it—becoming a dance major in yeonhwa. his family hadn't supported him, but due to his own efforts he is able to pursue his dreams. at least, until he messed up a step one day, resulting in touma dropping onto the floor as his leg continued to burn and burn—it hurts, but it doesn't hurt as much as the events that followed after.

he couldn't dance, not for a long while, skipping a semester to heal, missing an important event that would've made a large impact on his future career. he never exactly bounced back from that, warned that he shouldn't push himself too far when it comes to strenuous activities until who knows how long. he lost his scholarship, and his stepfather would only fund his studies if he switched majors—so he did, to something more 'useful' to society. according to his stepfather, at least.

his grades start slipping though, too caught up in his head to properly attend classes, skipping them because it's too stifling to be there. he shouldn't be there, after all. and yet, that's his only option now.

Housing: Gaeum Building

Please refer to our student handbook for any questions!

Introduction

presenting my marble-cold miracle: lee jinie, a twenty-three year old astrophysics major and reigning president of lyra, the most cutthroat social collective on campus. tldr, as a character created under the ‘passive prodigy’ label, she’s got that whole gifted genius thing going on, but without the desperation to prove it. academically & emotionally untouchable, she lives off the elegant satisfaction of being underestimated as a woman in stem ! inspired by #failure, she frequently subjects herself to almost masochistic (?) attempts at trying new things — whether it be a terrible wardrobe choice or joining a jiu-jitsu class she was objectively too tired for. ( spoiler: she never tapped out & ended up with the bruises to show for it. )

highkey inspired by ginny weasley ( ginny … jinie … ), has a bunch of older brothers that all have their own beat — doctor, corporate shark, national athlete, poet laureate, etc. — going on. she gets attention & affection for just being *her*, but there’s no real empty space to fill in the very, very full medal & trophy cabinet ( literally ). so she settles for just being brilliant without consequence, to just doing things because she wants to — and honestly ? she’s happy that way !

YH STUDENT ID: Im Seolran

AKA The Archivist – Runs a gossip blog no one's traced back to them.

Birthdate & age: November 12, 2002 (22)

Program: Public Health (BS)

Minor: Literature, Cultural Studies

Housing: Gaeum Building

Please refer to our student handbook for any questions!

Introduction

it was a particularly tough practice tonight, but seolran enters her apartment feeling more confident that she would once again lead her team to nationals. her first stop is her desk to unpack her school bag, placing her notebooks and ipad in their designated spots. her laptop, she decides, can stay on her bed. she hurries to the bathroom, quickly shedding her outfit and using her feet to kick them to the side. (she does toss them in the hamper soon after because she can just imagine the nagging voice of her mother telling her that she needs to keep her apartment neat and tidy). she's about to brush her teeth when she hears her phone ding with a text message. seolran mentally rolls her eyes, annoyed that someone would bother her this late at night.

[ ✉ ⤶ message from ophiuchus ]  ⤶ seolran. we need to talk. just saw your post. ⤶ i thought we agreed that you wouldn't write about anyone of the members. ⤶ especially me.

she huffs in annoyance after reading the message. typical of the chair to have no texting decorum. must be the old age, she muses. seolran leaves the message on read for at least five minutes to brush her teeth and wash her makeup off. five minutes is long enough to annoy the chair, yet short enough for there to be plausible deniability that she just missed it. it's her way of getting back at them for rejecting her proposal to allocate more funds to the cheerleading team (really, think about how many prospective students her team recruits because of their achievements.) that, and the minor blog post she just wrote about them. it's harmless. rumors are rumors, and she knows the fuss will die down the moment she posts something else. and that's exactly how she responds.

[ ✉ ⤷ message to ophiuchus ]  ↳ i actually have it in writing that i can. as long as it's not too scandalous. ↳ relax and live a little. nothing wrong with the entire campus thinking you're extra desirable. anyways, i need to go back to studying now. got a test tomorrow. see you next week. 😘

she's being truthful about the test, but seolran figures she's did enough studying for the day. it's time to unwind instead. after finishing the rest of her p.m. skincare routine, she finally hops into bed, propping her laptop onto her lap. rather than watch youtube like she intended, seolran spends the rest of the night giggling over all of the comments thirsting over the chair.

and at the next meeting, when she gives the chair their favorite coffee from the shop all the way on the other side of seoul, all is forgiven.

YH STUDENT ID: Nishinoya Tomoe

AKA The Poet – Never speechless, always has a response to everything, even what is considered rhetorical.

Birthdate & age: October 31, 2004 (20)

School year: 2nd year undergraduate

Program: Literature (BA)

Minor: Linguistics & Philology

Clubs: Daily Dragon (Editing Manager), Ophiuchus, Chess, Paranormal

Housing: Gaeum Building

Please refer to our student handbook for any questions!

Introduction

“I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free.”

― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

Tomoe thinks of herself as the kind of girl that would have been crucified in past centuries for witchcraft—fearing her own sense of otherworldliness and manner of turning everything just a bit fictitious. She has an affinity for whatever is teetering the line between real and fake, finding herself smack in the middle of sounding like she’s losing her mind or making all the sense in the world. Pretentious? Possibly. She thinks there’s nothing fruitful in entertaining shallowness, she’s repulsed by the thought of anything that doesn’t propel magic into her life. If something doesn’t cast a spell, doesn’t crack open the world a little wider, she wants no part in it. She prefers to be surrounded by people, art, and places that feel enchanted—she wants to believe there’s more than what she’s been given.

  “Even so, I must admire your skill. You are so gracefully insane.” 

― Anne Sexton, Elegy In The Classroom

Though she’s only the managing editor of Dragon Daily, Tomoe functions more like a gremlin underneath a bridge that won’t let you pass if you don’t have the correct secret phrase. She doesn’t just edit for clarity or grammar; she edits for intent. Every sentence, every headline must compel—or at the very least, stir. Her expectations are high and her tolerance for mediocrity is nonexistent. She’s the kind of editor who’ll scribble in the margins not just what’s wrong with a piece, but why it doesn’t feel right. She asks writers what they meant before what they said.

  “Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money.”

― Virginia Woolf

Speaking of being a logophile, Tomoe aspires to become an author recognizable among names like Brontë, Sexton, and Woolf. She knows she won’t live long enough to see it and maybe that’s the point. Immortality, after all, isn’t living forever, it’s being remembered by the right hearts. She imagines her books passed hand-to-hand in quiet corners of libraries, underlined by bunny-eared girls who feel too much and say too little. Most of her life is scribbled into mismatched notebooks: whole story beats crammed between wishful to-do lists, strawberry syrup stains, and her random 3AM babblings that only make sense the next night at 3AM.

Introduction

trigger warnings: mention of death

hailing from a noble line, this branch of the cho family has been known for ties back to the royalty through marriage, tracing back to the joseon dynasty. the entire image and reputation of the cho family has been built on the regal history of their ancestors. this is the backbone that the cho family erected themselves with and have since maintained.

the first wave of shock that came to the cho’s was when the youngest son, yongjin, uprooted half the family by convincing one of his older sisters to move to europe in hopes of finding a new start amidst the turmoil and struggle of the korean war. they found refuge in france where it took them a year to find their footing. opportunity presented itself in scotland not long after where yongjin moved his family again whilst his sister remained in france to continue the trading business they had established there.

yongjin expanded the business to scotland. the business continued to grow until seongwan of the seventh generation was born which eventually led to an establishment in london. seongwan is where things started turning sour within the cho’s rich lineage. his first wife had died in childbirth along with her baby. however, the scandal that erupted from this was that seongwan’s mistress was discovered not long following his wife’s funeral. to make matters worse, she was six months into her pregnancy. the affair was obvious and brought shame upon the family by disgracing seongwan’s first family and memory. 

seth cho was born three months later in early summer. however, not a year after his birth, his father was forced into a new marriage with a partner that his parents approved of. though the cho family refused to properly acknowledge seth, his grandparents were more appalled with the idea of having their first grandson living with an outsider. 

seth’s entire life has been serving as a pawn in a game larger than himself - one where he has had no control and has had all playing rights revoked. he essentially attended yeonhwa as a compromise between his grandparents wanting him to go as far away as possible while still maintaining their reputation should he get acknowledged by anyone as a cho family member.

at this point in his life, seth is just trying to figure out what he wants next and how to gain control of his life. however, what his family is worried about is his father’s will. the trading business in scotland has basically been passed to his father and his grandparents are still unwilling to acknowledge the idea of seth one day taking over. it’s not about if seth is capable though. it’s about the social and political shame, seeing him as an outsider - the essential downfall to their legacy if he’s the one that takes over one day.
