— born to a first-gen immigrant thai mother and chinese father in brooklyn park, minnesota, wei ming was raised as an only child by both parents until second grade.

  — his father was frequently absent from his life to begin with (through long days at work, unannounced BUSINESS TRIPS, ETC.), BUT HE OFFICIALLY LEFT THE FAMILY HALFWAY THROUGH WEI MING'S SECOND YEAR IN ELEMENTARY.

   —  THIS LEFT WEI MING AND HIS MOTHER struggling to make enough money to stay afloat, but they more or less managed.

 

 

                            under co.

 

   — a freshman international student at sungkyunkwan university with plans to major in film, television, and multimedia, he's a bit of a fish out of water, but refuses to give up and return to the states.

   — rather than living in the dorms, he's holed himself up in a small, cramped apartment above a consignment shop that's easy to miss unless you squint.

   — with his financial standing as it is, wei ming is almost always having a crisis with his money, and has had to turn to more odd work to keep bills paid.

   — officially, he works unsavory hours at a convenience store near the skku campus most days of the week, but aside from that, he resorts to freelance work.

HEIGHT:  185cm / 6'1"

WEIGHT:  65KG / 144lbs

BUILD:  tall, but on the skinnier side. though he’s always been on the lighter side without any outside influence, his unconscious instinct to not eat much unless it’s a holiday and participate in light exercise keeps him under the ideal weight for a male his age and height. his legs are long and straight-cut, as is his abdomen. it depends on his health, but he's usually somewhat toned, which shows more visibly when he stretches. like the rest of him, his arms have lean muscle, but not much else. his slender physique makes it so that his joints jut out; the knobs of his spine are especially visible, but his ankles, knees, and hips are also obvious. overall, he has a very lean figure with moderate muscle tone.

skin: far from pale: he's a warm in-between that leans towards the darker side. he does tan with minimal exposure to sunlight, if given the opportunity to be out and about when he's not working. his complexion can be quite rosy and warm, but it's even and never looks splotchy— either a pink blush high in his cheekbones or nothing at all. he can be fairly easy to bruise, but they fade quickly; the same goes for scratches, welts, etc. 

EYES: wide and childish in nature, WEI MING'S eyes have a very clear welcoming, bright quality to them that have the tendency to forcefully pull you in. his eyelashes are noticeably long even from a distance, though they become more apparent the closer you are— this further serves his natural ability to draw people in. the alert, almost overpowering quality of his gaze is only amplified by the deep, almost bottomless brown of his irises; the feeling of making eye contact with him isn't unlike looking at a reflection in a clear pool. they often appear dewy or glassy— a fuzzy sort of unfocused, or impossibly bright and probing. in direct light they look a little more amber, displaying rings of lighter browns to compliment the dark ring around the edge.

fashion:  wei ming dresses for practicality and efficiency over trying to look good. most of his clothes are old— either hand me downs from his mom or coworkers or employers, or things he's bought from thrift shops. he prefers darker colors and his closet reflects that, as it's mostly blacks and greys, but he has a soft spot for cherry red. his staple items are crew neck or hooded sweatshirts, jeans, long-sleeved shirts, baggy short-sleeved shirts, combat boots, and jackets (windbreakers or otherwise). in public it's most common to see him in torn jeans and an old shirt/sweatshirt paired with a leather jacket that used to be his father’s, though at home he prefers ratty old sweatshirts paired with comfortable jeans or sweatpants. to bed he usually wears an oversized shirt with his briefs, as he doesn't like the feeling of his legs being covered when he sleeps. you'll almost never see him without socks around the house.
