Some people may have been accustomed to how freezing the morning felt, coldness enveloping all warm bodies in an icy blanket. But it felt different for Nam Hye Rin. Born in Busan on 9th of June 1997, she is the first child of two, herself and her brother Nam Kyu Joong. Since she was 10 years old she studied in Boston with the help of a scholarship.
