BIRTHDATE  June 9, 2001

BIRTHPLACE  Pohang, South Korea

HOMETOWN  Seoul, South Korea

ETHNICITY  Korean

NATIONALITY  Korean

SUBGENDER  omega

SCENT

Kijeong's scent is sunflowers, though those with a less keen nose might call it more "summery and bright" ona  generla basis. When using scent blockers to help hide his omega nature from fans, his scent becomes a little more muted (and more "summery/bright" according to fans). When he's about to go into heat, there's a hint of marigold in it, just enough to really bring the image of sumer to mind. [reference: B&BW Sunshine Days to closer to Country Chic]

LANGAUGES

✩ Korean ; fluent (100%) ; native language (though, admittedly, sometimes he struggles when it's sleep-dark-thirty)

✩ Mandarin Chinese ; advanced conversational (85%) ; Kijeong’s father knew Mandarin for his job and he told Kijeong early on that Mandarin would be an important language to learn. Considering Mandarin is now the most spoken language in the world (even if those people primarily reside in China), he was right. When Kijeong was young, his father had him start taking Mandarin courses to prepare him for the future. Kijeong remembers most of it despite it having been a number of years since his last actual class, probably because he still listens to some Mandarin music and took refresher courses while in Royce Corp.

✩ Japanese ; moderate conversational (50%) ; Kikwang also knew Japanese, and even though Kijeong was still trying to master Mandarin at the time, his father pushed him to study Japanese, too. As their close neighbor and a  common trade partner, it was a safe move, or so Kikwang claimed. Kijeong took less courses of Japanese than he did Mandarin, so his fluency is lower, but he does watch anime enoug to retain key phrases, and Royce Corp’s refresher courses help.

✩ English ; conversational (30%) ; English is a language Kijeong himself chose to learn (though it was more because he enjoyed bands that only sang in English, and a couple shows that also only spoke English). It’s hard to learn, though, so aside from basic phrases and random vocabularly gleaned from movies, tv shows and songs he listens to, Kijeong’s fluency largely comes from conversations (aka Q&A Time) with Isaiah and the other English-speaking Elite members. He has yet to officially look into refresher courses because he never exactly had a base to refresh anyway, it’s all scattered and eclectic knowledge.

BACKGROUND

Son of Im Kikwang and Min Suhyun, Kijeong was the second-born child of a well-off, high-ranking family. As the youngest child of Kikwang, a military man turned police officer, and Suhyun, no-nonsense work-from-home accountant mother, Kijeong was always expected to follow in his father’s footsteps, just like his older brother.

Im Kihyuk, Kijeong’s elder brother, was born on October 27th 1995, and was the shining example of what good breeding, genes, and a strict home environment could create. At the top of his class, Kihyuk was the standard Kijeong was always supposed to live up to and become, the shining beacon of perfection that Kijeong was meant to emulate at all times. And Kijeong hated it.

But rebellion wasn’t something that was tolerated at the Im family home. Between his father’s strict policies carried over from his time in the military and his mother’s constant presence at home, Kijeong was forced very early on into the role they wanted him to fill, and absolutely nowhere else. And for a time it worked. For a time, Kijeong behaved, not having a reason to act out and not seeing himself making it far without his parents’ influence. Besides, with his father on the Pohang police force, there was nowhere Kijeong could run or hide that would escape his father’s reach. In a city of five hundred thousand people, where it seemed like everyone knew him -- or at least of him -- his father was everywhere.

So Kijeong worked hard, pushing himself to be one of the best in his class. He brought home high marks in his studies, took up traditionally masculine hobbies and activities to make his parents proud, and put up a front. And it worked. For a while, at least.

hit the fan in 2011 when Kijeong presented at the early age of ten. With his father a very domineering alpha presence, and his elder brother an equally dominating alpha presence, it was expected for Kijeong to follow in both of their footsteps. In fact, Kikwang and Suhyun were so sure of Kijeong’s secondary gender that even before he presented, they told friends and neighbors that he was an alpha. After all, with two alphas in the family, and with Suhyun a fairly dominant female beta, how could Kijeong be anything but an alpha himself?

Kikwang nearly disowned Kikwang when he presented as an omega. Kihyuk did disown him, renouncing Kijeong completely and refusing to so much as even acknowledge him in public or at home. Not that it mattered, of course. For nearly two weeks after Kijeong presented, he was kept as home under his mother’s constant watchful eye as she and his father tried to figure out what to do with their disappointment. 

Eventually, it was decided that they would tell their friends and neighbors that Kijeong had been sick, but that he was doing better. And that he was, in fact, of course, and alpha. And quietly, careful not to clue anyone in, Suhyun brought in a specialist from outside of the city that doped Kijeong up to the gills, slathered him in scent blockers, and declared him fit for the outside world again.

And so began Kijeong’s life living a lie.

For a little while, things got better. In fact, for a little while, things were almost perfect. Kikwang had never been a particularly caring or doting parent, and Suhyun had never been altogether nuturing or motherly, but they took care to take the time to teach Kijeong things that he would know if he were an alpha. At the time, Kijeong was thrilled to have their attention, unaware that their care was perhaps more for their good than for his own. But at the time, he was affection starved and their motives simply didn’t matter.

Approximately one year after Kijeong “presented” as an alpha, Kikwang’s parents came to visit. Despite Kikwang’s and Suhyun’s best protests, and despite Kijeong’s best presentation, his grandparents quickly saw through the ruse concerning his secondary gender and raised a fuss, demanding to know why their son was demeaning his child in such a way. Despite being a proud alpha himself, one in a long line of many, Kikwang’s father was particularly upset by the facade and demanding that Kikwang come clean to the community.

When Kikwang refused, citing it as an embarrassment to their line and to nature, his parents demanded they be allowed to raise Kijeong insteadso that Kikwang would not feel obligated to be “embarrassed” by his failure. Three days after Granny and Grampy Im came to visit, the packed up again and returned to Seoul, taking young Kijeong with them.

Seoul was, of course, a hell of a lot bigger than Pohang, and though Kijeong instantly missed the ocean and beaches and the wide open spaces, he also fell in love with the neon and concrete and steel of Seoul, immediately making himself at home within the city that never seemed to sleep. It was a playground he loved to explore as his grandparents established him in the local school and returned to work after ensuring he had settled well enough.

But Kijeong did not settle. After years of being molded into his father’s determined image, and another year of being viewed as an alpha, Kijeong didn’t exactly appreciate the sudden change ina ttitude concerning his secondary gender. As an alpha, he was afforded a certain respect. As an omega, however,  he was made to feel almost like property, and Kijeong didn’t like it one bit.

His grades begana to slip. His attitude changed. Where Kijeong had once been more open and friendly, he took on more of a biting, sarcastic twist, as if daring others to approach. And when he was approached, Kijeong took care to bite before he could be bitten. Concerned by the change in Kijeong’s attitude, they put him into therapy. It was in therapy that Kijeong’s life changed forever.

Therapy took place as a community center close to where Kijeong lived with his grandparents. His sessions took place after school, often by about an hour or so, alllowing him the time to bus and then walk from school to the building. One day, after arriving early and while waiting as the appointment in front of him ran late, Kijeong met one Kang Yejin. Close in age, the two began talking, and it wasn’t long until they found a common ground: despite Kijeong seeing one therapist and Yejin seeing another, their therapists both liked to encourage their patients to write. And while Kijeong wasn’t quite comfortable with the habit yet, Yejin had already take the next step and was combining his writing with something he enjoyed: music.

Yejin, Kijeong found out that day, was an aspiring rapper and lyricist. Despite being almost two years older than Kijeong, the two became fast friends, bonding over music and their shared writing assignments. And as 2013 continued, Kijeong and Yejin decided why not.

With permission (albeit rather baffled permission) from Kijeong’s grandparents, the two boys sought out and began attending shows in the underground rap scene. For the first few visits, all Kijeong did was watch and observing, taking in the boys -- and girls -- on stage, eating up their stage presence and the way they held themselves so securely,  so powerful.... And then, days after his twelfth birthday in 2013,  Kijeong took the stage for the first time, donning a large, black hoodie and sunglasses to help hide his identity. 

And somehow, it was like finding a port and returning home after years at sea.

After that, Kijeong became more careful, donning scent blockers and carefully adjusting his clothing and mannerisms to portray not an omega, but someone strong and bold, allowing the audience to form their own assumptions. And assume they did. Under the stage name King K (or KK), Kijeong cutivated a following and a persona within the underground scene, making himself out to be so much more than he really was.

Kijeong was eighteen and the year was 2019 when he was scouted at a competition by an agent of Royce Corp. At first Kijeong was unsure, wary of being approached so brazenly. But investigation proved the card he’d been given was legit. He’d been scouted for his talent in rap and his ability as a lyricist and producer. Despite having no dance skills to speak of -- though at least he had no bad habits to unlearn -- and a singing voice that would make children cry, Kijeong was quick to get his grandparents permission and audition. At the time of his acceptance, Kijeong was one of the company’s earliest trainees. He was there to see ABZ and Hwana debut in 2020 and 2021, respectively, and he was there as the other trainees came and as some went. He’s still there now as the Elite program finally gets rolling, shining light on all of the talent Royce Corp has kept in the darknessfor so long...
