As a teenager he spent long nights in his room working on his studies and trying to keep up with theater classes. Luckily for him, his mother had connections in the industry before she left for college and decided to settle down with a family and leave acting behind. There were many moments when Kwon felt pressured. He was pulled left and right all the time and he hardly had any time for rest. More than once he found himself falling asleep in class or passing out on a bench. It was a long road but it prepared him greatly for his future in acting.

In his early twenties he realized that although he had much talent in acting, he knew that he wanted to make it on his own without his mother’s help. So, he started from the bottom. Detergent commercials weren’t the best gigs and there were many times he felt like he didn’t belong. Many of his peers looked down on him, thinking that he was trying to out stage them by being there. I mean, he could just skip these gigs and just slide to the top right? Was he purposely making fun of them? They thought it was shameless. Kwon didn’t understand it and refused to let the haters deter him from his goals.

Time passed quickly and that’s when he met his husband, Morgyn Ember. He was a mysterious sort but Kwon fell in love at first sight, and before he knew it their love blossomed and he was walking down the isle with his family and friends crying, cheering and wishing them a happy life. But, that didn’t mean that there weren’t any hardships. Though his family has always been well off, with his father working as a well known Musician and his mother, a starlet, they hardly ever struggled, but he wanted to move out without his family’s money. After saving enough, he and his older brother, James, a body builder, moved into their own home along with Kwon’s husband Morgyn.

It was a happy life for a long time. He and Morgyn would have spats now and then about his spending and mysterious past that Morgyn refused to reveal, but other than that things were the best they’d ever been. With plans of future children, Morgyn and Kwon decided that it would be a wonderful idea to adopt a child of their own. His family was completely on board and they couldn’t wait to add a new addition to the family. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worst.

With having so much new work in the industry, Kwon had to spend a lot of time out of the house connecting with future business partners. It was one night while he was having drinks with co-stars and a big name director. If he got this gig it would send his popularity skyrocketing. He got a call from Morgyn, but sent it to voicemail because, at the time, Morgyn always called for overly dramatic reasons. Either he had run out of his favorite face cream, or he had a bad experience at the hair salon. 

Thirty minutes later he got another call from Morgyn while he was in the washroom and decided to pick up the call. It was late, and he did miss his hubby. But, the call he got was nothing he ever imagined. It was an officer telling him that his husband had passed from drowning and that they needed him at the hospital. His blood had run like ice through his veins and looking back, he hardly remembers the things that happened after. Everything went by like flashes of lighting in his chest. He does remember, however, the pale and lifeless body of his husband. Once vibrant and warm. He never wants to remember that being who his love was, but the image will never go away. He refused to sleep in their bed and spent every night huddled on the couch going in and out of restless sleep.

It was a hard road back and eventually his mother packed up his things and he and his older brother moved back into his family home. He could hardly eat. He hardly slept and he refused to even call his manager back. There was no way he could act as if the love of his life hadn’t died.

More time passed. He wasn’t healed. He probably never would be healed, but eventually he began to eat. Eventually his body slept. And finally, he picked up the phone for his manager. It was tough, but he did it. Not only for his family, not only for his beloved husband, but for himself. The light that had faded had begun to flicker once again.
