ᓚᘏᗢ // did you see NATHAN LEE at the party last night? the JOURNALIST has been apart of the squad for FOUR YEARS and i’ve heard they were the DAD JOKER of the group. in my experience they’ve always been RESPONSIBLE, but i’ve heard they can be OVERBEARING. they remind me so much of the vibes of Vermont in the height of autumn, a solitary ride on the last train home, a growing pile of leather journals filled with his deepest thoughts, and the first ray of sunshine after a long storm.

basic stats !

full name: nathan daehyun lee

date of birth: february 14 ( aquarius ♒︎ )

birthplace: austin, texas

gender: cis male ( he/him )

sexuality: bisexual

education: ba in mass communications and journalism

occupation: journalist

personal lore !

he is born and raised in austin, texas before moving to los angeles, california for college where he earned his ba in mass comm and journalism.

he is the youngest and only son in the lee family. he has two older sisters and one younger sister (28, 32, and 23 years old, respectively!). they all maintain a close-knit relationship with each other despite living miles away.

his mother was an actress who chose to retire after having him while his father continues to be a photojournalist in his hometown's local newspaper.

he first arrived in oceanview to pursue an internship during his senior year in college, and moved back five years ago because he loved the quaint little beach town very much and found a (part time) job there.

he is a very friendly and warm person, and loves to crack the occasional dad joke or two.

before becoming a journalist, he worked as a freelance writer to support himself, as well as part-timing for a local bookstore where he felt encouraged to try writing his first novel again, his secret side project.

tba !

fun facts !

he likes to do journaling as a way to express thoughts he can't quite put the words to out loud.

his actual dream is to be a fantasy fiction novelist--alas, life has different plans for him (or does it?).

he is a big fan of acoustic covers of the latest music.

he has a five year old ragdoll cat named "daisy" who he rescued as a kitten (along with five of its littermates and its mom that have all since found forever homes) from the side of the road on his way to oceanview when he first moved back.

he can play the guitar very well.

pardon his spacing out, he tends to internally monologue a lot.

he owns a lot of ikea furniture; he likes the aesthetic.

he likes to look out for his friends (sometimes it can be a little much) and is the kind of friend who would go as far as making sure you're inside your house before leaving if he drops you off.

his hobbies include: reading, writing, gardening, playing the guitar, and journaling.
