Full movie available on Korean Classic Films YouTube channel

[theinfinitedivides]

remember how people kept saying that the biggest threat to JangChae was Ryang Eum (the 'snake' and 'two faced homosexual [yes literally saw those words in a comment before it had gotten deleted in the MDL comment section for other unsavory remarks made about the other actors. i can call my son and myself a homosexual bc we are one but not like how they were trying to convey it tyvm]') and Gak Hwa/Qing Princess (the Jang Hyun obsessed bounty hunter who has a choking kink) but the actual threat turned out to be the straight men (Mr. F*ckass General Ex, the f*ckass king and newly minted f*ckass husband Yeon Joon) bc they weren't sh*t and a half. funny how that happened

Parasite (2019)

Parasite is the kind of wholly original film that’s impossible to predict. It also has a lot to say about our world, which means there’s no way you’ll be able to catch everything on a single viewing. With plenty of dark laughs, the kind of suspense that will have your stomach in knots, an ending that sticks with you and masterful direction by Bong Joon-ho, it’ll knock you right off your feet - even if you’ve seen it before.

Kim Ki-taek (Song Kang-ho), his wife Chung-sook (Jang Hye-jin), their son Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) and daughter Ki-jeong (Park So-dam) make ends meet by snatching up whatever prospect comes their way. One day, Ki-woo finds a job tutoring Da-hye (Jung Ji-so), the daughter of the wealthy Park family. Sensing an opportunity, the Kims scheme, lie and fake their way into the household.

Part of what makes Parasite such a wild ride is that you never know who you should be cheering for or what the movie wants you to feel. When we first meet the Kim family, they’re scrambling around their dump of a semi-basement apartment looking for a free wifi signal so they can get a shipment of pizza boxes sent to them. Folding the boxes is how they’ll pay for their next meal. When they submit their work, part of their earnings is deducted because 25% of the boxes are badly folded. There are four family members. A quarter of the boxes are no good. Hmmm… There’s something funny and pathetic about the way they manage to screw up such a simple, honest job but excel at conning their way into the Park household. The more elaborate and extravagant their scam becomes, the more they thrive. You know it’s wrong, but there’s something "admirable" about their resourcefulness and determination. You don’t feel too bad for the Park family. Aside from Ki-jeong, everyone is actually doing the job they’ve been hired to do and there’s no way she’d get away with spinning her bullshit into dollars if Mrs. Park wasn’t such a dummy.

Then, your feelings about the Kims start changing. It’s one thing for them to exploit the Parks, whose wealth is wasted on them but this quest to get all of them on the same payroll means taking away jobs from other people. As we eventually find out, the current housekeeper of the Park family, Gook Moon-gwang (Lee Jung-eun) REALLY needs this job they’re stealing from her. As the film progresses, Bong Joon-ho shows us how the lap of luxury has made the Parks into ugly, entitled snobs. The more we see of the parents (Lee Sun-kyun and Cho Yeo-jeong), the less we like them. The thing is, the Kims are not much better. They’re also recklessly gobbling up the jobs in their employer’s household at the expense of everyone else. The people currently employed? they’re obstacles to be toppled over, not people with similar plights to their own. They never have a goal to make enough money to move into a nicer home. Their goal becomes to have THIS home, a building they know is too much for two parents and two children. While all of these people are on opposite ends of the financial spectrum, they both disregard others equally.

It would be criminal to give away the big surprises that come at the end of the film - and you probably wouldn’t believe me if I told you what they were anyway. Revealing all the intricacies of the scam would be just as heinous. The proof is that even upon multiple viewings, it’s a horrifying delight to see it play out the way it does. I do want to discuss the very very last scene, however. In the film, it’s presented as hopeful, a long-term strategy Ki-woo will follow to get the family what they desire the most. It all seems good but when you take a step back, you realize how hopeless it is. That final moment is about how wide a gap is between the rich and the poor. It's not about leaving us with a smile on our faces. It’s not as clear as it would be in a documentary but it’s a thousand times more impactful - and entertaining.

Parasite is mesmerizing, the kind of film you want to watch over and over so you can fully appreciate everything. It’s full of surprises, masterfully directed and certainly as good as everyone is saying it is. (Original Korean with English Subtitles, July 25, 2022)

So I was making a list of who I think should/ would be nominated for the Oscars this year and I put Martin Scorsese, Celine Song, Todd Haynes, Greta Gerwig and Justine Triet as my picks for best director. When my sister saw it she said that they are too many women on the list for it to be realistic. And then that made go down the rabbit hole of checking the list of Academy Awards for best directing because I was curious which year did the first female director win an Oscar.

Woah. 2009? 70 years after the first ceremony? Crazy. So then I decided to check how many women were even nominated.

Seven. Throughout 96 years of its existence the Academy nominated seven women for best directing:

- Lina Wertmüller for Seven Beauties in 1975

- Jane Campion for The Piano in 1993

- Sofia Coppola for Lost In Translation in 2003

- Kathryn Bigelow who won for The Hurt Locker in 2009

- Greta Gerwig for Lady Bird in 2017

- Emerald Fennel for Promising Young Woman in 2021

- Chloé Zhao who won for Nomadland, also in 2021.

Jane Campion was nominated again for The Power of the Dog in 2022 and won, making her the only double nominee in this group and the third woman to win best director.

I decided to check some other numbers from the list just to illustrate how ridiculous that number is.

Just in the first 10 ceremonies 7 Oscars went to guys named Frank (Frank Borzage, Frank Lloyd and Frank Capra). They were nominated 9 times in that period. Overall they got 12 nominations throughout the Academy's history. Guys named William got 18 Oscar nominations over the years (12 for Wyler alone).

Actually, let's stop there. Here are all the men who got nominated more or as many times as all the women:

- William Wyler (12)

- Martin Scorsese (9)

- Steven Spielberg (9)

- Billy Wilder (8).

And that's not to say that they didn't deserve these nominations of course. But when there are numerous individual men who got nominated more times than the entire other half of the population you can't really blame it on anything else than the Academy's biases and discrimination.

And that discrimination doesn't end with the Academy, of course. Celine Sciamma's phenomenal Portrait of a Lady on Fire, which ranked 30th on Sight and Sound's list of best movies of all time, didn't even get a chance to get nominated, because French Film Institute chose to campaign another adaptation of Les Miserables instead.

The discrimination doesn't end on gender. When it comes to people of color the Academy also isn't particularly generous. No black woman was ever nominated for best director. 6 black men were nominated:

- John Singleton for Boyz n the Hood in 1991

- Lee Daniels for Precious in 2009

- Steve McQueen for 12 Years a Slave in 2013

- Barry Jenkins for Moonlight in 2016

- Jordan Peele for Get Out in 2017

- Spike Lee for BlacKkKlansman in 2018

10 Asians/ Asian Americans were nominated 13 times over the years:

- Hiroshi Teshigahara for Woman in the Dunes in 1965

- Akira Kurosawa for Ran in 1985 (a total travesty that he never won in that category)

- Terrence Malick for The Thin Red Line in 1998 and The Tree Of Life in 2011

- M. Night Shyamalan for The Sixth Sense in 1999

- Ang Lee for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in 2000, Brokeback Mountain in 2005 and Life Of Pi in 2012 (he won for the latter two)

- Bong Joon-Ho for Parasite in 2019

- Lee Isaac Chung for Minari in 2020

- Chloé Zhao for Nomadland in 2020 (the only woman of color who won in the category)

- Ryusuke Hamaguchi for Drive My Car in 2021

- Daniel Kwan for Everything Everywhere All At Once in 2022.

5 Latin Americans were nominated 8 times. It got a bit murky here, since that's not really a racial category. I couldn't find a different list than that anywhere, so I had to play a little elimination game. I wouldn't count Guillermo del Toro. Héctor Babenco is apparently a son of Polish and Ukrainian Jews. And I'm pretty sure Fernando Meirelles wouldn't count either. So that leaves us with:

- Alejandro González Iñárritu for Babel in 2006, Birdman in 2014 and The Revenant in 2015

- maybe Alfonso Cuarón for Gravity in 2013 and Roma in 2018 - won both times (fun fact about Roma, the hype for it was so big in Poland that I always assumed it was a polish movie, until I actually watched it around 2021 when I got more into film). Though his case is where we can fully see how much of a social concept race is, since he simultaneously says that he grew up as a white man and his win for Roma was applauded as a diversity win in the Academy circles.

No Native American was ever nominated for Best Director.

I don't know what the point of this post is. I guess I knew that Oscars were a white sausage fest but I never checked the numbers to see just how much, and Best Director might just be the worst category in that regard.

So if you're placing bets on the Oscars, I guess it'll be safer to just pick 5 random white guys for best director, instead of going by the quality of the movies themselves.

I'd love to see Celine Song win for her beautiful debut, or Greta Gerwig for the biggest movie of 2023 and because she is one of my favorite directors ever, but that may be hard since we had a few years in a row where either women or people of color won in this category, so the old hacks responsible for the choices are probably dying to pick another white guy.

[rye-views]

All of us are Dead. 지금 우리 학교는. 7.6/10

I would recommend this drama to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this drama.

I only really know Lee Kyu Hyung from Prison Playbook, so seeing him in this role, he's kinda hot. The archers are cool, hot damn. Ha Ri is my fav character. The archers in general. Okay, but the mouse was kinda cute before it went crazy. Omg that crawl slide on the hospital floor is legendary. The real chemistry is between Su Hyeok and Chung San. Bro the knife toss at Chung San was crazy. The library parkour was fun to watch. I would love a dad like Nam So Ju who is that committed to his values. Also, once he got dressed in black and got that gun, he got kinda hot. Honestly, Dae Su would be nice to have around. He's like committed to fighting, is real and honest, is entertaining, and is just a lovely fellow. Soo Hyuk is actually p good at fighting ngl.

The bullies making the girl undress immediately balled up my fists. My patience would be so tested in this setting. I'd be so fed up with anyone who gets in my way. I also can't with people who lie about the sickness. Like people lie all the time about being sick, but this one is deathly and contagious?? My anger boiled again when Eun Ji was having her bullying flashbacks.

So many things are happening on this day at this one school regardless of the zombies. I can't believe no one chose to go to the rooftop initially. It doesn't even make sense that zombies have such good hearing and can't find them that easily. I feel like all these zombies are moving very ineffectively, but also the one that didn't listen to the music, was moving so effectively. I do not need a guy like Chung San to like me. He's so inexpressive. I get that he's in high school, but still. The uniforms are really giving me team Slytherin. I honestly don't know if I could overcome the trauma of witnessing a loved one of mine becoming a zombie. I would cry if someone said to me what Ha Ri said to On Jo about her dad going to heaven. That's like so kind to hear. I cried a good chunk.

Poor Chun San's mom. God, I feel for Mi Jin when she loses Joon Sung.

Namgoong Min, Opens Past History With Lee Chung-ah..Best TV viewer Ratings 16.8% (One Thousand Won Lawyer')

[a-student-out-of-time]

*Whispers* God, this guy is trying to talk shit about Hitoshi like if it wasn't his lazy ass changing places with his wife being the only reason he got in the Main Course

Just as well, I suppose. What would someone like you even know about construction anyway?

...

Dad, you don’t have to-

Ayato-kun, tell me something: you ever heard of the Sampoong Department Store?

What?

Simple question: have you heard of it?

No, but what’s that have to do with-

Sampoong Department Store was built in Seoul from 1987-89. Just like us, they were in the middle of an economic boom, but they actually banned international contractors. Only South Korean construction companies were allowed to take part in the city’s rapid urbanization.

And they stretched those companies to the breaking point to take advantage of the boom and the coming 1988 Olympics.

The original plan was to make a four-story apartment block, but the head of the Sampoong Group decided to change the plans and make it a department store. In the process, they made a ton of adjustments to the blueprints, and thus a lot of horrible errors.

The building didn’t have a steel skeleton. Instead, the pillars directly supported the concrete floors in what’s called flat slab construction. It’s cheaper, easier and faster, but it relies on the strength of the supports.

What they originally planned to use were pillars that were 80cm diameter concrete pillars, each with sixteen 22mm steel support rods. But to make room for the new escalators for the department store, eight of the pillars were reduced to 60cm and only had eight support rods.

The contractor they hired complained about this, and so Sampoong group fired them and finished it themselves. After that, they added a fifth floor with a food court and heavy underfloor heating pipes, which strained the building 50% beyond the support pillars’ capacity.

The supports which, by the way, were unevenly distributed. To make matters worse, they added a 45-ton load on the roof with a set of three massive air conditioning units. Ones that generated vibrations that rattled the pillars even more, and all this was only made worse when someone decided to move them across the roof by literally dragging them.

Alright, but what does that have to do with-

June 29th, 1995. People were complaining about it all day, warning the managers and owner, but they kept it open and refused to evacuate. Because of that, 502 people were killed and 937 were injured when the overstressed fifth floor collapsed under the air conditioning units, and the whole thing pancaked in on itself.

There were people buried under the rubble for days. One of them was a 16-year-old girl, Park Sung Hyon, who was buried down there for sixteen days. The fact that she survived is a miracle.

So you read about this?

Read about it? Who do you think they called on for the investigation?

What...?

I mean, I can’t take all the credit. It was mostly the on-site personnel who did the work, and I gave them my opinions, studied the blueprints and compared the changes made during its construction.

I even got to talk to Professor Lan Chung, the head of the investigation. Smart guy, definitely the kind of person you should hire for this sort of thing.

And you wanna know what happened there? Greed. Every sensible person told them this thing was a deathtrap, but the Sampoong Group kept it going and kept it open.

And guess what? On December 27th, Sampoong’s Chairman, Lee Joon, and his son and the CEO, Lan Han-sang, were both tried, convicted and sentenced to several years in prison for the whole thing.

That investigation also found widespread fraud and corruption, and they even indicted 12 city officials. In the aftermath, rigorous inspections took place across the country, and they found that 1 in 7 high-rises needed rebuilding, and 4 out of 5 needed major repairs.

So yeah, maybe I was a small part, but I like to think I played a role in helping make a whole country safer.

After all, they trusted me enough to ask for some insight after I graduated.

Maybe if you’d actually come to class with us, you would’ve seen that. Or were you also too busy making money to pay attention to the obvious?

*Hitoshi grabs a glass off the table, chugs the whole thing and slams it back upside-down*

Either way, nice chatting.

*With that, Hitoshi rolls himself off*

...

...

Good man.

Les 30 meilleurs films coréens à regarder en 2023, des films d’horreur populaires aux films d’action

Il est temps de plonger plus profondément dans le monde du cinéma sud-coréen.

Minuit (2021)

Vous avez aimé Squid Game? Ce thriller coréen de 2021 met en vedette Wi Ha-Joon (l’acteur qui a joué Jun-Ho, le policier, dans la série Netflix) et présente une histoire intense, de vie ou de mort, sur un tueur en série impitoyable qui traque une femme sourde dans les rues de Corée du Sud.

Printemps, été, automne, hiver... Et printemps (2003)

Pour ceux qui préfèrent une montre plus sentimentale et émotionnelle, vous ne regretterez pas d’avoir essayé ce film magnifiquement méditatif de 2003. Il suit la vie d’un moine bouddhiste vivant dans un temple flottant isolé, car chaque saison qui passe symbolise une étape de sa vie.

Peppermint Candy (1999)

Réalisé par le célèbre réalisateur coréen Lee Chang-Dong, Peppermint Candy est un drame puissant et émouvant qui explore les thèmes du destin, du temps et de la mémoire à l’aide d’une narration unique et intrigante. L’histoire est racontée à l’envers, ramenant les téléspectateurs en arrière à travers 20 ans de la vie d’un homme condamné.

Little Forest (2018)

Si jamais vous avez besoin de quelque chose d’apaisant et de relaxant, allumez simplement Little Forest. Avec l’histoire réconfortante d’une jeune femme qui s’échappe de la ville pour retourner dans sa ville natale à la campagne, c’est vraiment un film simple et calme avec beaucoup de cœur.

The Villainess (2017)

Envie d’un bon film d’action coréen? Ce thriller de vengeance élégant et exaltant sur une assasine entraînée en train de se déchaîner pour échapper à son passé offre toutes les séquences d’action énergiques que vous pourriez souhaiter. Préparez-vous au gore!

The Good, The Bad, The Weird (2008)

Oui, il y a aussi des films occidentaux coréens ! Préparez-vous à beaucoup de rires - et d’aventure - dans ce western d’action comique hilarant (inspiré du western spaghetti classique de Sergio Leone Le Bon, la Brute et le Truand) sur un chasseur de primes, un gangster et un voleur de train qui se lancent dans une croisade épique pour découvrir un trésor enfoui.

Right Now, Wrong Then (2015)

Right Now, Wrong Then is a great pick if you're in the mood for a more quiet, contemplative drama. This highly acclaimed film from celebrated director Hong Sang-Soo tells the story of a chance encounter between a celebrated art film director and a young painter.

Train to Busan (2016)

Un thriller coréen incontournable, Train to Busan présente une vision fraîche et originale de l’un des genres cinématographiques les plus classiques - le film d’apocalypse zombie - en suivant un homme luttant pour sa survie dans un train à grande vitesse qui est dépassé par une épidémie de zombies. Préparez-vous à être sur le bord de votre siège tout le temps tout en regardant celui-ci!

Peninsula (2020)

Après avoir regardé Train to Busan, vous aurez certainement envie de le suivre avec Peninsula, sa suite très attendue. Se déroulant quatre ans après les événements du premier film, un ancien soldat et son équipe combattent des zombies pour récupérer un camion plein d’argent dans les friches de la péninsule coréenne.

Minari (2020)

Un drame tendre et émouvant sur une famille d’immigrants sud-coréens qui prennent le rêve américain dans l’Arkansas rural des années 1980, ce film très acclamé du réalisateur américano-coréen Lee Isaac Chung a reçu six nominations aux Oscars (y compris pour le meilleur film!). Vous voudrez probablement garder une boîte de mouchoirs à portée de main pour celui-ci.

My Sassy Girl (2001)

My Sassy Girl est peut-être l’un des films de comédie romantique coréens les plus connus de tous les temps - en fait, c’était la comédie la plus rentable en Corée au moment de sa sortie. Avec une histoire d’amour délicieuse sur un étudiant qui rencontre un partenaire de lutte, il est facile de voir pourquoi ce joyau est devenu un tel succès à succès.

Parasite (2019)

Il y a une raison pour laquelle ce thriller comique noir a gagné tant de renommée internationale et a atteint l’histoire oscarisée. Avec une intrigue captivante et captivante, Parasite captive avec une narration à suspense tout au long du film et offre un point de vue vraiment intrigant sur les thèmes de la classe, de la violence et de l’inégalité sociale.

Memories of Murder (2003)

Si vous avez aimé Parasite et que vous voulez explorer davantage les œuvres du réalisateur Bong Joon Ho, Memories of Murder est un excellent point de départ. Combinant le genre du thriller policier avec la satire sociale et la comédie absurde, ce film suit deux détectives enquêtant sur une série de meurtres (vaguement basé sur l’histoire vraie des premiers meurtres en série confirmés de Corée qui ont eu lieu dans les années 1980).

The Beauty Inside (2015)

Si vous êtes à la recherche d’un bon film coréen romantique à regarder, ce 2015 fantaisie rom-com - qui est basé sur le 2012 film social américain du même nom - raconte l’histoire d’un homme qui se réveille dans un corps différent tous les jours. (De plus, il y a aussi une adaptation K-drama du film que vous pouvez regarder par la suite!)

The Wailing (2016)

Le cinéma sud-coréen a longtemps excellé dans le genre de l’horreur - et The Wailing, qui bénéficie d’une note de 99% sur Rotten Tomatoes, en est certainement la preuve. Pas pour les âmes sensibles, ce film d’horreur-thriller largement loué se concentre sur une série de meurtres mystérieux dans un village coréen rural.

Space Sweepers (2021)

Vous aimez les films d’aventure de science-fiction? L’un des films coréens les plus récents de Netflix - et également présenté comme le premier blockbuster spatial coréen - se déroule en 2092 lorsque la Terre est devenue presque habitable. Space Sweepers suit l’équipage d’un vaisseau collecteur de déchets spatiaux appelé The Victory, alors qu’ils découvrent un robot humanoïde enfant et se lancent dans une aventure spatiale épique.

Burning (2018)

Basé sur la nouvelle Barn Burning de l’auteur japonais Haruki Murakami, ce drame de mystère psychologique acclamé par la critique de Lee Chang-Dong raconte l’histoire tranquillement obsédante d’un jeune homme qui fait face à un secret mystérieux après que son ami d’enfance revienne d’un voyage et amène un homme avec un passe-temps étrange.

Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure (2022)

Un autre film coréen récemment sorti est ce film d’aventure d’époque sur une équipe de pirates de la dynastie Joseon qui partent à la recherche d’or royal perdu en mer. Actuellement l’un des meilleurs films coréens sortis en 2022, Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure a une histoire passionnante et trépidant et beaucoup d’aventure.

Oldboy (2003)

Peut-être l’un des films coréens les plus connus de tous les temps, ce film de vengeance sombre et viscéral de Park Chan-Wook - l’un des réalisateurs les plus célèbres de Corée - suit un homme qui part en mission de vengeance après avoir inexplicablement été emprisonné pendant 15 ans. Avertissement: Celui-ci n’est certainement pas pour les faibles de cœur!

The Handmaiden (2016)

Un autre film magistral du réalisateur Park Chan-Wook est ce thriller psychologique érotique et ce film d’amour inspiré par le roman de 2002 Fingersmith de Sarah Waters. Situé dans la Corée coloniale des années 1930 et le Japon, il suit l’histoire fascinante d’une héritière japonaise et de sa servante coréenne qui est impliquée dans un complot élaboré avec un escroc pour séduire la femme riche de son héritage.

SONG SEO-JOON (LEE JUNHO) IS LOOKING FOR...

Connection: Siblings (0/3)

Suggested Name: Family name is Song, given name UTP

Age Range: UTP

Species: Witch preferably, but could be a vampire or a wolf if they were turned

Suggested FCs: Any Korean fc (including mixed fcs that are half-korean), but some suggestions include- Daniel Henney, Alex Landi, Bae Suzy, Cha Eun-woo, Hwang In-Yeop, Jamie Chung, Lee Do-Hyun, Sang-Heon Lee, Im Jinah/Nana, Kim Se Jeong etc.

Connection Description:

Everyone in the Song family is successful in their own right, except for Seo-Joon. Their family is also incredibly rich. Their grandfather, Song Sang-Hoon, founded King Enterprises, a startup that would become the well-known medical and tech conglomerate it is today, being known for its skincare, cosmetics and medicine with recent interests in hospitality and aviation. 

 His step-mother is a famous model (who either is your character's step mom as well or their biological mother depending on their FC) and the face of King Cosmetics, and his father is a well-known director. Both dominated their social circles and were often far too busy jet setting around the world, speaking at conferences, and acting as prominent witches within the Lunar Cove coven to visit their son growing up in NYC all on his own. 

While his siblings (12 of them- with only 3 being playable), all of varying different ages, managed to find their niches at one point or another. 

I'm super open to determining how your character is successful in their fam- they could have not been the best at school, but now is an up and coming painter. They could be the 'perfect' parent with a seemingly perfect family. They could be an innovative architect who is trying to convince their grandfather to invest in a new line of hotels which they're working to design. They could be a model, a singer, a Soap star etc. Someone on the 30 under 30 list. I'd love for one of the siblings to be a manager of the Hospital or the new manager of K Labs (having taken over Seon-Joon's positiong after Seo-Joon went missing) etc.

Your character was born a witch and their parents weren't the type to put a ton of pressure on them. They were the hands off type and were more than happy to encourage their children to try whatever interested them, even if they often would send a bouquet of flowers to their child’s dance recital rather than appear in person. But, they had never been strict or overbearing and, yet, every single member of the family managed to thrive in some capacity except Seo-Joon.

But, while the parents didn't pressure on them, the siblings would compete between themselves and their parents would give more attention to those who succeeded and those who honed their powers as a witch given that being a witch was well revered in their family.

While your charrie grew up in Lunar Cove, Seo-Joon was raised by nannies in NYC after it became clear that he was the only human in their witch family. They grew up knowing that it wasn't safe for Seo-Joon to be surrounded by so much magic given they were human. The family didn't mean to isolate Seo-Joon. They simply wanted to keep him safe and give him the freedom to be able to travel the world rather than being physically trapped in Lunar Cove, but slowly your characters would be invited more and more of magic related trips while Seo-Joon received a sympathetic look in passing that felt more like an afterthought than he’d care to admit. It was almost as if after his abilities never came in and his grades at school continued to remain mediocre at best, they had given up on expecting anything from him which only seemed to be solidified when it came time for college.

The family bought a building at NYU to secure his place at a university as they did for a few of their other children who didn't make it into Ivy Leagues on their own. But, when Seo-Joon got car crash tw hit by a taxi in the city, his family became worried about his safety wondering if Lunar Cove might actually be safer for him than on his own.

After college, their parents made the decision without Seo-Joon's input that the safest place for him was the Cove where he'd be forced to stay for the rest of his life unless he wanted to risk losing his memories pertaining to magic. Your charrie could leave LC as much as they'd like, traveling around, while Seo-Joon was forced to stay. You watched the joy in your brother's eyes fade as they were given the position as manager at K Labs, despite being far from qualified for it, by their grandfather. His family had only tossed the underfunded research lab his way in an attempt to keep him out of trouble. It wasn’t as if they actually paid any mind to what him or the scientists who worked there were up to. But, by a strand of dumb luck, his team ended up creating one of the most exponential achievements in supernatural research due to his own incompetence.

Only the moment K Labs was turned around, Seo-Joon vanished. You believed he skipped town and would text his phone to get short winded answers. Your charrie could have been worried for his sake or resented him for leaving without a word. Only eight months later, your charrie has learned that he's alive and was kidnapped tw by the Catalyst this entire time.

Seo-Joon also goes by the nickname Song with people he's not close to, but your bby would likely go by their given name around everyone and, likely, would call Seo-Joon by his given name too.

I'd be happy to plot out more about our bbies- was your charrie the sibling who moved into the beach house he was living in before being kidnapped? What was their dynamic like growing up? Were they close? More distant etc.
