『 moon duckling 』 + this is something her brother calls her. she can't quite recall why but he's been using it for as long as she could remember. he only uses it when it's the two of them. when nobody is watching...or hearing. although, if he were to explain the meaning, he'd say, "her head is always up in the sky, and she's always been like a small duckling to me".

Her skin is often descibed as "glowing", because she's a health junkie. her hair is a natrual light brown and wavy, however she currently has it dyed ebony black. she's known to wear little to no make-up. soy-yi doesn't have any tattoo's and only has the standard ear lobe piercings (one on each ear), but she doesn't even wear earrings much either.
four main things to look at when she's dressing for a day out is, 1) a bomber jacket. 2) make sure it's black. 3) slightly if not entirely oversized. 4) boho. so-yi doesn't care how you look at her. she is not going to take hours getting ready, because clothes are just clothes. if it's comfortable and easy to put on, then that's that.

personality
for the most part, so-yi is organized, and beyond practical. she's the kind of person who takes care of the people around her and makes sure that they're at ease whilst in her presence. hell, and if so-yi says she's going to do something, she'll do it. she isn't one to step back on her words. she loves a challenge, so she's always up to take a pitch.
Aside from being a the most social of social butterflies of sorts, she is loyal to the people she seeks out to be friends with and that also includes her famly. She always has a shoulder for you to cry on, and she's a surprisingly good listener. She's often said to be the "glue" to the group. Keeping everybody safe, and satisfied. So-Yi loves seeing that the people around her work in harmony, like yin and yang.
still, there are bits and pieces of her that wants to be accepted by everybody. sometimes she may waver to the company she keeps, and other times, she's terrified to say something utterly wrong in front of select people. insecure is some sort of understatement even if she doesn't show it. however, with the family she was raised with, it's unusual for her to step out of her own comfort zones because it almost seems impossible to do something different from the way she's been doing it her entire life. something like that could be life changing for her and she's definitely afrad of change.
So-Yi shrivels in the face of conflict, which is why she absolutely hates the fact that she doesn't take criticism very well. Often times, she withdrawls herself from these type of conversations, or doesn't seek to "show off" for anything because she gets utterly defensive to the point where she can or will hurt the people around her. Once she's worked up, it's rather hard to talk her down.
There's something about So-Yi. Something inside her that feels like she needs to be validated. She goes out of her way to get that appraisal, for the sake of her well-being, almost. Of course, she doesn't make a big deal out of it if her efforts go unnoticed, but it hurts, yeah it hurts. But, a thing with So-Yi is that she's also very, very selfless.Sure, it's great and all but sometimes, with people who don't need or want it, it's overwhelming and truly...terrible. She can't help who she is though.

background "hi guys, it's so-yi here! today's video is going to be a little different from my other video's because today i'm going to tell you a little bit about myself, and how I grew up.something like draw my life, without the drawing. Today's video is also going to be in korean, so to all my english viewers, sub-titles are availabe by selecting closed captions in the bottom right corner. Now that that's done, let's get started!
I was born in seoul, south korea on the night of december 11th to my mother, yulhee and my father taeksoon. at that point in my life, i was an only child-- heck, still am an only child, but that's beside the point. we lived in small home, far from where i'm located now. And, from what I was told, my family had been struggling both before and after I came home. It's hard to believe that now because it's the complete opposite situation. My mother had me when she was young. In South Korea, it's not very common for girls to have babies in their teens, but my father and his family had supported her to the best of their abilities which i'm so grateful for now. My mother was seventeen. So, she didn't have much help from her family until she turned twenty - when I was three. She worked long and hard to try and get them to accept the reality of the situation. But besides that little drama, I grew up perfetly fine. Dad always said, as a child I was very creative and talkative. I'd go up to children and invent new worlds and games to play. Mom even told me that I was a tiny-explorer. Go figure that exploring would be what I do up til today! Anyway, there aren't many other eventful moments in my life, growing up. I was loved by my family, and I remember I always tried my hardest to make them proud of me. So, yes, you could say my life was like any of yours. I went to school, I failed some classes, I passed others. Nothing special there. It wasn't til' recently when things started getting really good for me. Which brings us to section two of this video. My Lifestyle." The video cuts to a title card labeled...

My Lifestyle." The video cuts to a title card labeled...
"lifestyle" "This section starts a little before graduating. Things were really hectic. I was going back and forth with university applications and entrance exams. Luckily, I wasn't alone thoughout this period, because I would have wound up making the biggest mistake of my life. It was because I had friends who were as open-minded and creative if not more than I was, that I chose to create Soy Sauce on Top. It was with their help that I started this youtube channel where I get to be myself one hundred percent of the time. Where I got to meet you and document all the pieces of forgotten treasure the world has to offer. And I am so grateful for each and every one of them for being there to support me. As you all know, it isn't all that easy to make the video's for you. I try to upload at least once a week and in order to do that, I have to be traveling constantly to provide you with the best places. I could go weeks without being home, But usually the process that it takes to get you these video's goes something like this. I spend my monday's researching, planning and getting in contact with people who own the abandoned properties, and asking around with other explorers on abandoned places. By tuesday, I'm packing up to go to places for you, and on wednesday I'm filming a full blown out area. I spend thursday's editing the video and post on fridays. Saturday and Sundays are usually days I spend with my friends and family. I try to keep to that schedule, and when things come up you're usually the first one's to know about it, since I'm very opened to my audience. And since we've reached the end of this video, I'll give you a hint to my last instagram post. If you're a follower on instagram you already know that there isn't a possible explanation for me to be posting this video because, drum roll...I'm on break with a friend, Park Cheol over at cheolcam! By the time you watch this video i'll be filming a new video with Cheol and our friends as we travel korea to find the worst hotels & motel's and what they have to offer us. I really hope that you look forward to it! Leave a like if you enjoyed the video and subscribe to see more. If you're interested in the Hotel/Motel series, hit the bell notification to be the first to see it when it comes out! Check out Cheol's channel, link will be in the description box below. Oh gosh, did I get everything? phew, I did. Okay. this has been So-Yi and I'll be signing off now! Bye!"

hey, So-Yi! good to see you again. please introduce yourself to everybody out there watching you. "Hi!" so-yi lifts a hand and waves at the camera dramatically. "What's up everybody, I am the one and only, So-Yi. And to answer the question you are dying to ask, Yes." So-Yi places one arm into her bag, and withdraws.. "I do have soy sauce." A bottle of Soy Sauce. "Can't go wrong with a bottle of Soy everywhere you go."She gives it a gentlel shake in her hand while the other holds up a peace sign. "Besides, it's my lucky charm~ BY THE WAY, make sure to check out my channel 'soy sauce on top' and hit the--" The moment one of those words managed to leave , somebody places a hand on , shutting her up instantly, followed by a, "how dare you self-promote yourself, shame on you!"
i think we can all agree that this is a crazy trip. what made you agree to come along? "Talk about it." So-Yi snickers. "So here's the thing. I said yes before Cheol had even told me what we were going to be doing. It wasn't until yesterday that he actually told me what this whole thing was about. But this will really give me the chance to spend time with friends and scope out other abandoned places so," With both hands in view of the camera, she crosses her fingers. "fingers crossed!"
and how do you feel about traveling the country to uncover the worst places to stay? "If you'd have asked yesterday, I would have said something along the lines of, 'i'm probably going to die'. Today, it's more like, 'This is going to be a really great story to tell one day'. I'm pretty excited!"
great, thank you! good luck out there, and we'll see you when you get back.

cheol and so-yi are from the same year. both youtubers, and both living in seoul, to them it must have been a SMALL world. It was no secret that So-Yi was IN LOVE with Cheol's channel. So, it didn't take much effort for her to reach out and meet with Cheol. They've probably filmed more than a handful of video's together. So-Yi loves how creative and crafty Cheol is with his ideas.

These two are pretty much attatched at the hip. alking back and forth about video's, ideas, and future endeavors.
