backstory: hong ri na was born on the 17 dec 1992, in busan, south korea. both her parents are high school teachers. ri na was a dillegent student since young and has excelled in school. after graduating from high school, she went abroad to new york for university, majoring in graphic design. At the age of 22, after graduating with a degree, she returned to korea to find a job. She worked at a multi national coroporation as a graphic designer for about 4 years before resigning. Reason why she resigned was because the company was merged with another major company and so she didn't like the changes being made because it wasn't benefiting her at all. Thus, she chose to leave as she knew there weren't going to be any future there. Thus, she is currently applying for a job here at WELOVE Marketing Inc, hoping that she could at least grow her career at a simple and small start up.   

ri na is currently living in seoul, south korea with her husband.

"hello, take a seat." doryeong leaves through the simple application form and the candidate's resume casually, twirling his Yonsei pen in his left hand. "so, how did you come across welove, and why do you want to work here?"

ri na sat down slowly. "hello. I came accross the job ad online, on a jobsearch portal.. So I decided to apply. Reason being is because I would like to grow my career in a small start up company, and to just take my time to learn new things and to increase my skills." ri na gave a nervous smile.
 

he flashes what he thought was his characteristic suave smile, but it turned out to be a lopsided, i'm-not-even-sure-how-to-interview-you one, "ahh i see. so you've applied to be my creative designer, i'm guessing you have the relevant knowledge? any past experience?" his voice raises a little at the end, destroying his established calm demeanor.

ri na nodded, "i worked as a graphic designer at my previous work place for about four years. Before that I graduated with a bachelor's degree in graphic design in new york. I am definitely familar with the scope of work and the skills that a creative designer should have." she finished confidently. 

 

"that's great! uhhhh, um. your... expected salary? i mean, we're just a startup and i don't think i can afford much, but i'd like to know where you stand on this matter? and you've got to know that we most probably will work overtime here."

ri na stayed silent for a few seconds, thinking through the question before answering. "hmm.. since I do not have much experience from my previous company.. I'd say about $26 to $27k? Probably the basic salary for a ceative designer.." 

 

the boss sighs an audible sigh of relief. "okay, last bit! you'll be having your own workstation, but for now... do you ahve any decorating tips? it's really a lil sparse around here.. not too much plastic stuff, of course." his voice trails off.

ri na gave a light chuckled, "to be honest.. people don't like it when i give suggestions.. you see, i'm a little bit about certain stuff especially things that needs to be placed, it's like a mild ocd.. But if you do need any tips.. i'd say make sure the decorations isn't too messy." ri na smile sheepishly. 

 

"okay, thanks a lot for coming in today! i'll let you know of your interview results in about a week!" 

 

 

FATHER - Mr Hong // 52 years old // high school teacher

 

 

MOTHER - Mrs Hong // 48 years old // high school teacher

 

ri na and her parents are very close. they are tight knit family who tells each other anything and everything. a very fun and loving family, ri na's parents are forever her cheerleaders, cheering on their daughter in whatever she does and sometimes.. it does get a litle embarassing. but it's how they show their love.

 

 

HUSBAND - Ji Chang Wook // 30 years old // Entrepreneur

ri na and her husband are a loving couple. compared to how ri na is at work (quiet and dillegent), she shows her lovable and cutesey side to her husband only. chang wook is the one taking care of ri na at home and is always making her food and coffee especially when she is busy with her work. since he is a entrepreneur, he is a little more free than ri na so he takes more care of the house in order to ease her burden. definitely a modern husband. 

 

 

BOSS - Yoon Doryeong // 29 years old // Boss of WELOVE Marketing Inc

ri na and her boss doryeong are like the opposites of each other tbh. ri na is more quiet and the type to work silently. whenever her boss starts chatting or goes around table to table to just say hi or whatever, she would just respond by nodding her head and then just go back to her computer screen. this makes doryeong abit sulky since she doesn't respond much and he'll just move onto the next table. while others finds his love for saving the environment and paper amusing, ri na doesn't at all since she kinda understands him. after all she do get annoyed when she encounters dirty or messy tables.
