APPEARANCE : Jaeshin has always been described as having a very youthful appearance and he would agree. His face is very shaped, with a defined jawline and chin. His nose is kinda bulbous but cutely so who cares? His eyebrows are noticeable and well-groomed, and his skin is tanner some days and paler others, his lips thin but petal pink. Jaeshin does dye his hair all kinds of colors, and currently it's a very dark brown that he's liked since high school. Somewhat muscular but not overly so- Well, he used to have totally overdone abs but now he decided they looked bad- People would call him handsome, or pretty. It really depends on who you ask. He looks younger than his age for sure.
 
Jaeshin went on vacation to Canada when he was twenty-three with his parents and got a tattoo. He wisely hides it when he's at work or out, but he plans to show it during this vacation. Its up the left side of body, from his hip to partway through his ribcage. It's a simplistic, natural bouquet of flowers (x). Black ink, minimalistic look to it. The few who know tend to say it's too girly, but what the hell do genders have to do with tattoos?
 
Notes: Cannot grow facial hair well, calloused hands, shaves or otherwise waxes legs, 174cm and 63 kg, short fingers, charming expresssion.

ELABORATION :

Best friend *insert older character here* up to the stand to vouch for...Lee...Jaeshin? Lee Jaeshin's personality.

Don't pretend you don't know me.

Jaeshin is undeniably sophisticated and everyone knows it- He's not a fan of fake charisma and trying to soup your act up. He has the best manners you've ever seen, respectful and clean with a lovely charm to him. Jaeshin shows he's intelligent but not horribly so, because if you show too much then you lose the sophisticated part of it. He's naturally elegant and has class to spare, which is really great when meeting with important people. Jaeshin educated and cultured and really sophisticated is the most prominent part of him personality. That being said, he's always up for the un-classy adventure here and there. He loves to try new things and encourages others to do the same. They're a great way to get experience and have fun. He's not afraid to try something he hasn't before, be it a ride, a meal, going somewhere, it's all going to be fun. He finds happiness in pushing the limits just a little. Jaeshin is open with that, as he is with everything. He finds no point in shaming yourself or keeping something hidden from people. Being honest and open is the best way to go, and so Jaeshin follows that code strictly. He doesn't hide anything unless it's of dire importance.

He's the kind of person who can persuade anyone to do anything, using all sorts of tactics. Putting his uality aside (Which he is willing to use when he needs to, but that's literally never happened so), he simply is the kind of person who can argue earnestly and you'll start to seriously consider. He's a master of words and uses that to his own advantage. Jaeshin is very steadfast with his beliefs and doesn't back down. He's always right there when you need him and trust me, you will. He'll always stick by your side once you've earned his trust. Jaeshin is open with his feelings and views, and even opinions on things. He doesn't express these rudely, but he does in fact express them. He has a lot of ideals that he holds herself up to. Jaeshin believes in possibilites and that's special nowadays. It's natural for him to look at the big picture before getting down to the little details. When something changes in his environment or in a person, he's always the first to know. After living for twenty-three years, Jaeshin has become very in-tune with his surroundings and the people he knows, so he has become very alert. Always the person to know when something's wrong, Jaeshin never panics when he realizes these things. Instead, he's naturally calm and takes things in a calming fashion. The very air about him is calming and soothing, and people are attracted to that. Jaeshin doesn't ever let people see his flustered side because it doesn't show up often. On the outside, he's serene as can be all the time.

Upon meeting Jaeshjin, you'll get an impression about him, by the way he speaks and his body language. He is very comfortable with his body and uality, and is naturally sensual. Not only is he confident in his own body but he owns it, and this sensuality is a feeling, an aura he emits. He knows the art of feeling good and shares it with others. He is very feminine, not just in looks, but with his body language and and mannerisms. With this feminimity comes gentleness, inherant empathy, and succorance- Or the need to seek out affection and support. Jaeshin will admit to exhibiting these "stereotypical" traits. Not to mention, his stylishness is very natural. He loves clothes, fashion, and makeup so will follow the trends but in his own unique way. He knows what suits him and his body regardless of what others will say. Those who know Jaeshin wil say he's very frugal, as he saves money wherever he can. This is the kind of guy that will always charm people into giving him something for a lower price than it should be sold for. He also is the one that will keep your secrets for you. Confidential to possibly a fault, he hates to reveal what others have trusted him with and thus, most likely won't. However, this makes people trust him quite a lot. Jaeshin appreciates the arts quite a lot, and seems to have a knack for them. He loves all kinds of art, from literature to sculptures to music to painting, and he herself is very creative.

All this being said, it's easy to see where Jaeshin isn't quite as lovely of a person as he sounds. He is definitely the guy who will quitely push hid way into someone's business. He meddles with many people and relationships on a whim. He really prefers to have influence on things. Jaeshin likes to make things his business whether they are or not. He gets criticized a lot for this. He's very sly, though. Crafty and slippery as cunning, if he doesn't want to get caught, he won't. Simple as that. It's not like he doesn't use this to his benefit and amusement, though, because he does abuse the system with it. Jaeshin plays very underhandedly with it if given the opportunity. He's overly cautious, sometimes to the point of paranoia. Jaeshin thinks too far into the possibilities of things, mostly how they can go wrong. He worries a lot inside but takes risks anyway, to beat his fears. But that doesn't mean they've just stropped existing, because they haven't. Because of this, Jaeshin is highly dependant on other people. He sometyimes feels clingy to others, particularly his friend because he needs them to soothe his worries, even if he doesn't quite say that outright. If no one is there for him to stick by, then he feels uncomfortable. He seeks affection and love.  This confuses people. They see him as an enigma- People just can't seem to figure him out.

Jaeshin is open with them, but is that real? Is anything he's saying real or is it crafted? Is this sophistication fake? Is he really just a wreck or is it more like he's hiding a huge secret? Jaeshin can't help but apparently feel mysterious to others. They can't tell if he's real or not. Something about him seems to be hidden, beneath the surface. Jaeshin is very shallow, and judges people based on their appearance and possessions in the beginning. He prefers to do things only if they benefit him- Not to say he won't if they don't, but thats definitely his preference. He naturally takes things at face value. He thinks a perfectly put together person is the best. That's because he's a perfectionist and works hard at every detail. It's something very much connected to his anxious patterns and over-caution. What Jaeshin wants most is for everything to be perfect. He'll work for hours on end if it's going to give it a perfect look, and that's not good because he takes it to too severe of a level. Jaeshin is prone to work herself to the bone and further. People will actually have to make him stop working (Mainly Sookyung) because the details don't stop bothering him.  Nowadays it's improving slightly. Jaeshin is very impatient and doesn't wait for any of the members to take an hour to get ready. He pushes them right long and isn't one you want to be late to meeting with. He'll chew you out without hesitation.

BACKGROUND :
Please write your entire life story on this paper! I'll look it over later~ You already know it though. Write, please! Write it like a story, that makes it way more interesting!
Lee Jaeshin was adventerous from the time he was small. The moment he could scoot around on his own he was trying new things, making a mess of anything in his path and taking himself where he shouldn't have been. He was a handful, and those terrible twos really were terrible. His parents hoped that as time passed he'd calm down a little, and he did. His family was upper-middle class and once he was three his parents hired a nanny so both of his parents could work. His nanny, twenty-three year old Nam Sooah, was a very kind but firm lady. She would scold him and teach him the proper way to act in front of people- It's Sooah who really taught him to be sophisticated. She really rubbed off on him after being with him for five years. However, within those five years Sooah had gotten married, and she was ready to start a family of her own. Since Jaeshin was at school most of the time, his parents figured it was fine to let her go and live her life. They didn't hire another nanny, and instead Jaeshin raised himself for a few years. He learned to clean and cook starting at the early age of eight. He was well-liked in school for his adventerous side by his classmates, and his teachers liked how mature he appeared to be. He generally did his work (Though he'd often 'forget' his art projects) and was a pretty alright student. Jaeshin want through elementary school without much interesting happening.
It was high school when pretty big things happened. Jaeshin met the beautiful Min Hyejung. She was two years younger than him but very beautiful and very interesting. He, admittedly, really liked her. They were in the same music class (Required one year of art or music during any year in high school) and Jaeshin made sure to always sit next to her during the class. He flirted and she flirted back and he definitely liked her. She smiled shyly but with a confidence behind it, she carried herself like she always had somewhere to go, and liked her coffee the same way he did- Naturally, he began to bring her coffee every other class. Soon enough they were spending nearly all their freetime together and their friends were teasing them about it. "Just ask her out already!" "He hasn't kissed you yet? Are you sure you want to date him?" After about nine months of knowing each other, Jaeshin asked Hyejung out on a date. Her parents were hesitant to let her go, but he made sure to meet with them a week before the scheduled day so they could get to know him. They had to admit they liked his personality, and he wasn't bad-looking. Before long, the two were dating happily. Jaeshin hadn't been this happy before. Life was...Simple, but it was good. He had good grades, friends, a pretty girlfriend, and his parents were taking more time for him.
Naturally it couldn't stay that great. After dating for a year or so, you were comfortable enough to have , right? At least, these two had been, but they always used protection- They weren't stupid, they knew the consequences even if no one was comfortable enough to talk about them. The society they lived in was too prideful and much too uncomfortable about education, but Jaeshin and Hyejung knew anyway. Their music teacher Mr. Kim (Whom they'd taken his class yet again since they liked him so much) was open and honest about it, and even bought them the protection they needed. But not all plans were perfect and Hyejung was pregnant at fourteen, going on fifteen (That news was confirmed by the tests Mr. Kim has bought them). Jaeshin was seventeen and suddenly had fear for his future- He always thought that it was secure. He'd stay with Hyejung even when he went to college and after she graduated they would get married and he would get a good job and his life would be great. He realized it was a foolish hope, and reality sunk in even further as they bravely told their parents the day after they found out. Jaeshin had no idea what they were going to do, but apparently Hyejung did. She refused to even think about abortion or adoption and told her paretns straight-up she'd be raising the baby whether they or Jaeshin wanted to help or not.
Well, that put Jaeshin on the spot. He didn't know how to feel- It's not like he'd made a mistake. What they did was a normal, natural thing and they used protection like their teacher taught them to. At the same time he now had someone else's life to think of but he didn't want to. He wanted to take no responsibility for whatever child that Hyejung was carrying, but at the look his parents gave him he knew he had no choice. "Of course I want to help, Hyejungie." Neither of their parents were thrilled, and all four of them cried and then all six of them cried together but it was decided. Unfortunately, their teachers had to be informed (Consequences included getting kicked off the soccer team + thus losing any potential scholarship offers) and all but one seemed to turn against them. It was only Mr. Kim that didn't treat them cruelly or with pity. He treated them the same as he always had, but Jaeshin could see the quiet disappointment in his eyes. Jaeshin felt the compulsive need to do everything perfect to please Mr. Kim, his parents, Hyejung's parents, everyone to say sorry for upsetting them. He needed to do better, but at the same time he clung to others for support. He couldn't do anything on his own he felt, and became dependant on them. When Lee Sookyung was born, Jaeshin felt love but at the same time he felt trapped. He loved that little girl that came after nine hours of Hyejung's suffering, he loved the adoring smile on Hyejung's face, he loved the soft skin of Sookyung's cheek but he wanted nothing more than to run and free himself. But what the hell was he freeing himself of anyway?
Hyejung lived in his house excluding the weekends. She was forced to quit school despite how she made it through all nine months of pregnancy. The stress of raising a child was too hard, even if Jaeshin's mother took all her vaction days to help her out. Hyejung's parents couldn't afford to not work, so it fell on his family. Jaeshin was guilty, somehow, he couldn't understand his feelings but he felt them. The most startling discovery he made in the first few months of Sookyung's life was that he no longer felt anything but affection for Hyejung. He didn't love her the way he used to, it was no longer something romantic, he was simply thankful that she'd brought Sookyung into the world even if the child was, at the same time, a sort of burden to him. Hyejung knew it, he was certain when he looked in her eyes she saw right through his "struggling but happy daddy" act. He threw himself into school, cating for Sookung when he got home until Hyejung took over, sleeping as early as possible, and doing his homework while he fed or rocked Sookyung at four a.m. Daily life was too hard to deal with but he kept appearances with fake smiles that only his daughter's existence could fuel. Finally, Jaeshin graduated. He'd promised Hyejung he would take time off so she could get her life back together, and he did for a little while. It was him and Sookyung, who was about a year and a half old. She was the love of his life, but that trapped feeling was coming back again.
So he would leave Sookyung with a friend or overnight babysitter and drink until the sun came up. Hyejung, his parents, her parents, they all disapproved and he did too. He hated it but it helped him. When Sookyung was two Hyejung was moved out and working on their parental rights. If Jaeshin proved successful enough by the time their daughter was five then he would take care of Sookyung from January 1st to May 25th. Hyejung and her parents would care for her the remaining days. Until then, he would get to see her every three weekends. He was ashamed beyond belief to have brought that kind of situation upon his family and swore he would get himself happy, healthy, and somewhat well-off. His friends stuck by him, even as Sookyung and Hyejung moved to Daegu while he stayed in Seoul. They helped him through his drinking problem and he started on a new dream, one that would result in a job flexible enough for a sometimes-single father- He worked on becoming a registered nurse, even when he visited his daughter. He would bring his textbook and have her "read" with him. That was how they bonded through the years, and he felt like he could smile again. By the time she was four he proved to the court he was ready to take her now, and his life as a "Sometimes-Single Father"began. It was hard on him and sometimes hard on Sookyung. Hyejung was able to graduate late and go to a baking school. Since then she has opened a bakery in Gwangmyeon so Sookyung could always go to the same school. Life goes on. Jaeshin is pretty much happy. But then-
LIFE TODAY :
Recently, Hyejung has asked me to take full custody of our ten-year-old daughter Sookyung- Of course you all know that. I'm still not sure why we're doing this survey before the trip but I guess I have no choice. It's not that Hyejung doesn't love her, because she does, but she doesn't think Sookyung likes living with her anymore. I would absolutely agree- She always seems bored when she comes to my apartment and only talks about much she likes it here- When I asks how it is at Mama's house, she shrugs. I...
I knew he had to do it for Sookyung, because when I asked her if she wanted to stay with instead of going back to Mama's- God, the way I felt then, please don't look at me like that,- She immediately lit up. Thus, only two weeks after we returns from the trip I'll be taking Sookyung with me. I currently live in a, ah, sparsely-furnished two-bedroom apartment. The second bedroom (Bottom left) was always used for a guest room and where Sookyung would stay when she visits and as such it will now be her bedroom- We even decorated it before she went to stay with her mother after the legal agreement to hand over all rights to me was made!
Sookyung really likes the ocean and sea creatures.
Ever since I got my job I've been putting aside money for two things- A travel fund as I've always wanted to see the world, and house funds. I really want to move into an actual house. I can't even describe how much I want that fr Sookyung and I. Now the travel funds are combined with the house funds as my parents offered to pay for all planes and hotel costs- I'm in charge of things likes food, souvenirs, ect.
I'm a registered nurse and I work from eight a.m. to about five p.m.- I get a half hour long lunch break and a ten minute break which I plan on using back-to-back to pick up Sookyung from school and drop her off at my parent's place. But these mostly refer to after the trip.
Let's talk more about now, my lunch break is almost over and I'm kicking you out after this, name.
I make about $45,000 a year in USD which is about 50,296,500 KRW as on March 3rd, 2017. Most of the money is saved up and not in use, so I don't have as much as everyone thinks, so I'm certainly not buying you ice cream after this. My apartment is always lonely so I am never there often, or if I am I'm with a friend. I always eat the daily recommended servings of vegetables, but besides that I only eat fruit and grains.
Chicken I eat, but beef and sometimes pork will make me ill. I can't eat a steak but bulgogi should be okay. I always treat myself to ice cream on Fridays and hope to replace ice cream with unique frozen treats around the world during the trip. Anything else you want to ask?
Of course I'm not worried about raising Sookyung on my own.
I'm terrified of losing myself, he said.
The group wisely chose to ignore such words had ever been spoken in their presence.
TRIVIA :
Hm...The things I know about Jaeshin? Well, I better not
write down everything I'm thinking.

☾ Always wanted to visit Egypt
☾ One of, if not the oldest one going. He sincerely hopes no one will be relying on him, because he needs his time while it's still around.
☾ His only sleeping habit is taking up the whole bed or laying all over whoever else is in it so like RIP whoever shares a bed with it, if it happens.
☾ Jaeshin hasn't had alcohol since he started nursing school way back when. Even in situations where is would be considered rude to not drink with the others (Coworkers, friends, possible employers, etc.), he simply and convincingly explained while enjoyed alcohol he didn't want to drink more than he had to. He's truthfully afraid that he'll become an alcoholic.
☾ Yes, of course his friends make fun of him for having feminine habits paired with a youthful face.
☾ Obsessed with being perfect. The perfect father, the perfect man, the perfect employee, the perfect friend, the perfect everything.
☾ There are quite a few occasions where Jaeshin will say something about himself (Like worries, a secret, etc.) and the group is either so offput or unsure how to respond (Or possibly know better than to reply) that no one indicates they ever heard it. It's an odd situation to be in but they've gotten used to it over the years.
☾ Still doesn't know how he ended up with so many tiny children as friends. They're all very young.
☾ It's often that Jaeshin's friends will get annoyed at how formally he speaks. Sometimes he's begged to use informal speech. He thinks he's just fine.
☾ Even clingier when drunk.
☾ In love with bean sprouts.
☾ He has always known of his uality but it never really...Came up in day to day conversations. Unless his behavior says something he isn't sure that his friends know he's into guys too. In fact, he prefers men. Almost certain he wouldn't  pair up with a girl this time.

RELATIONSHIPS :
I wanna do this part!

▸ Daughter — Lee Sookyung (10) / Elementary student / Exciteable, inquisitive, clingy, overprotective / 10-10 (FC: Lee Re)
"Sookyung is the most precious thing this world has ever been gifted."

Oh does Jaeshin love Sookyung. She's his life, yet only seeing her half the year made him feel really irresponsible for the half she was with her mother. He loves her so so much but she terrifies him, the responsibility that comes with her, the fact that he'll have to raise her perfectly is enough to reduce him to tears. Sookyung loves to question the world and why it works the way it does- He often feels like she is beyond her time, that she should have been earlier, maybe as a friend or younger sister. A daughter? He never even thought of raising a child, what it would take. Sookyung takes after him a lot more than her mother, the type to cling to everyone and depend on them. Jaeshin went with her and Hyejung to drop her off for her first day of school and she honestly would not let go of either of their hands. It was a bit heart-breaking. She's also taken his more adventerous side, trying new things and th like- Definitely up for exploring behind the bushes the school aides told them not to touch. She's very overprotective of her father and likes him all to herself- Jaeshin just kind of laughs and removes her off his leg. Her birthday is February 22nd. They have a father-daughter date every April 30th, and Jaeshin loves it. This doesn't stop all the negative feelings though. He's ashamed to not want to raise his daughter- Family is important in their culture and he'd much rather...Not. He wants to be himself.
▸ Ex-girlfriend and mother of Sookyung — Min Hyejung (25) / Baker / Outgoing, humorous, insensitive, bold / 5-10 (FC: Yura of Girls Day)
"She's a wonderful mother but as a person there is more to work on. She is someone to admire."

Hyejung is the kind that would always make her voice known and well, Jaeshin liked that about her. While he was more reserved in the way he expressed himself, she'd do it with energy and really push her luck. While she's calmed herself down a little more over the years, that spice has yet to go away. Their relationship is hard to decribe- They want to stay friends and get along, for each other's sake as much as Sookyung but they really can't get used to each other and the way they are now. They don't have similar interests or hobbies and really feel resentment towards each other in some degrees. They stay amiable for Sookyung's sake and almost feel bad about it. It's a difficult situation because at the same time Jaeshin still relies on her. If he's really upset at two a.m. his first instinct is to call her because he still remembers being in high school and she'll take care of him but then tiredly ask him to call his friends instead of her. Apologize, hang up, repeat. Hyejung would only do the same if none of her friends answer. She's trying to slowly pull away from him but they've had to do parent things together and it makes it harder. When they went to turn in paperwork together to enroll Sookyung in school, the judgement they got was painful. Grocery store through the years in the rare occasions they staid with each other, judgment. Judgement. That kind of thing brings people together willingly or not.
You're so knowledgeable about his relationships, name.; It's creepy.
INTERACTIONS WITH THE OTHER GLOBETROTTERS : " I wish I knew who was going yet."
MOTIVE(S) BEHIND LEAVING : "I need to see the world before Sookyung and I have to stay forever. Once she comes back to South Korea, it's for good. I can't be the half-dad anymore, I'll have to take full custody and care of her. This is it. My final run. I want to meet new people, see new things and make the last memories of me alone. Well, I guess I won't be alone, but in my last trip for me. After this, it's just me and Sookyung, huh? laugh I'll be so much less lonely with her yet so much more alone."
