Family Background:

I was born to Korean-Chinese entrepreneur Lee Jin and Japanese Broadway performer Yamaa Yuki. My father fell in love with my mother at first sight after watching her perform in Mamma Mia! in 1990 during his business trip. They got together after the show and started dating. After two years of having a long-distance relationship, my father wanted to get married. However, my grandfather was firmly against my father marrying a Japanese woman, especially because she’s a performer. My grandfather is very stubborn and has an old-fashion belief that women should work in the house.

In 1992, to appease my grandfather, my mother quit her job as a Broadway performer and moved to Korea with my father to get married. Aside from gaining a husband, my mother also gained two sons – Lee JinHo and Lee JinKi. JinHo-oppa and JinKi-oppa were the sons of my father’s first wife, who had died a year prior in a car accident. My mother was not accepted into the family easily because she was seen as my father’s mistress. However, she ignored the words of her in-laws and did what she was supposed to do.

In 1994, my mother was tired of the hatred she received from her in-laws and moved back to New York City for some peace. What she didn’t know was that she was pregnant when she left in February. In November, she gave birth to me. When my father found out, he was ecstatic and requested that my mother return to Korea immediately. However, my mother refused because she was afraid that my father’s relatives would hurt me.

In 1996, my mother finally decided to return to Korea with me. My mother was afraid of how my grandfather would react and that he would refuse to acknowledge me as his granddaughter. However, when my grandfather saw me, he started laughing and playing with me, leaving my mother dumbstruck. My grandfather has a secret soft spot for baby girls. Seeing how much my mother sacrificed for my father, my grandfather accepted both my mother and me.

Life afterwards was comfortable, but rough. My two half-brothers didn’t like me very much and still preferred their mother over mine. They would often call me names and pick on me. One day, when I was 5, JinHo-oppa was teasing me again and pushed me into the adult pool. I never learned how to swim and almost drowned, if not for a nearby maid hearing me scream. After that incident, JinHo-oppa decided to be nicer to me. JinKi-oppa was reluctant to accept me, but he did after seeing me and JinHo-oppa getting along.

Elementary and middle school went smoothly. I attended a private school that educated me in both academics and the arts. Alongside the formal education, I also learned how to sing, dance and play instruments. The artistic classes fostered my interest in music and becoming an idol. I had countless arguments with both my father and my grandfather because they refused to let me join the entertainment industry. Eventually, after silent treatments and hunger strikes, they managed to give in.

Personality Info:

Personality:

Generally, I am a bubbly and cheerful person, using aegyo every now and then. I’m optimistic in any situation and always have a smile on my face. I believe in laughter being contagious and try my hardest to brighten people’s days. It’s really easy to make me smile and I get cheered up by the smallest of things. I’m playful and I’m pretty much a kid-at-heart. When there is something bothering me, though, I can't focus on other things and tend to zone out completely.

When I’m given a task, I try my hardest to complete it. I’m neither a perfectionist nor an overachiever, but I don’t like disappointing people. Every time I get in trouble or do something wrong, I have an urge to cry or hide away because I feel bad.

I like being around people, but I feel awkward when I’m the center of attention. I hate the feeling of being babyed and pampered by my peers; it makes me feel really awkward around them. Hypocritically, though, I liked babying others and taking care of them. Especially around my close friends younger than me, my “umma” side comes out.

I'm really dedicated to and protective over my family and friends and wouldn't think twice to stand up for them, as long as no violence is involved. I try to be a good friend to my peers though. I’m very trustworthy and would take secrets to the grave, unless in dire situations. I like helping people, sometimes to the point where I spend all my time worrying about others.

Even though I was raised in a rich family, my parents taught me to be modest and not show off my wealth. I’ve had maids and butlers at my beck and call, but I still do chores around the house. I don’t like abusing my father’s wealth or power, so I tend to stay behind the scene. I am also very obedient. I don’t want to disappoint my parents, so I usually follow what they want. However, I do stand up for myself if I think they’re being overbearing.                              

I’m not the smartest person out there, but I have the common sense to make up for it. I get good grades in school because I study really hard the night before.  I don’t work too well under pressure, but usually I come through. I like working with a team more than being alone – I have a deep fear of being abandoned or being hurt by the very people I trust. That’s why it’s easy for me to make friends, but it takes me a while to fully trust someone (and, subsequently, fall in love).

I forgive, but I don’t always forget. I don’t like confrontations, so unless I see it with my own eyes, I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I despise crying, and I hate seeing others cry, so I try not to. Even though my heart might be breaking into a million pieces or I feel like crawling into a whole, I just fake a smile and turn away. I rarely get really upset; but when I do, I might stay that way for a while. However, after I get over it, it's like nothing ever happened.

Habits:
- I stutter or shift my eyes when I try to lie on the spot.
- I speed-talk if I’m nervous. And I play with my hair, usually by tucking it behind my ear.
- I bite my bottom lip when I’m thinking hard or when I’m concentrated.
- I twirl my hair, bat my eyes, swing side-to-side and playfully hit someone when doing aegyo.
- I squeak when I get scared (or poked on the sides – I’m really ticklish).
- I bite the rims of cups and straws or zone out when I get bored.
- I easily get cheered up with strawberry ice cream or red bean popsicles.
- I dance until I drop when I’m stressed or when I can’t sleep.
- I always put on headphones when I get into the car, even if I’m not listening to anything.
- I write about my day and feelings in a journal that I keep in my bag.
