hello, everyone! i am so very excited to be here. this is kwon somin, and she's a seoul native. she's been at gaenari for about three months now, hiding away from her extended family who is trying to take her down to take over the company business, which she's next-in-line for. more details will be available under the cut but please do like this post to plot!
tw: family background includes topics of misogyny, infedility, infertility and attempted murder, such mentions will be marked with an asterick so please skip over those if triggering!
background.
the only child to kwon junghyuk which also means she’s currently the sole heir to one of the biggest companies in south korea, kgt group (stands for kwon gyeongtaek group; somin’s grandfather who is currently bed-ridden)
somin's mother is junghyuk's third wife ** as the two before her could not give him any children ** and although she is a daughter, she's still the only blood-relative to kwon junghyuk
once her grandfather grew ill, the company was left in charge to somin's father, but that's when all sorts of attempts to bring him and somin down begun
** her extended family went as far as trying to poison somin and her father in order to take over what they believed should be their spot in the company and there is a rumor (that's basically true) that they did their best to make sure junghyuk's previous wives would never give birth **
one of somin's aunts, someone who stepped away from the family business long ago, realized that somin was in danger and advised junghyuk that it'd be best to have her go into hiding
he agrees and that's how somin ended up at gaenari! her aunt haeyoung found the place completely on accident but realized that it was very secluded and not filled with many outsiders, so it seemed like the perfect place for her to hide at
present day.
she's been at gaenari for about three months now! currently works as an actress at finesse restaurant while pretending she's a college student who has just graduated but decided to take some time off before getting a real job
because she's out here to hide from her family, she's very secretive. you can ask, but she most likely won't answer. skilled at turning the conversation around so she doesn't have to answer questions about her background
despite that, however, she's very friendly! socially skilled as she was taught from a young age how to be respectful. may appear business-like but again, all manners she's been taught since she was young
really enjoys the outdoors so you can find her strolling around the place and trying to figure out gaenari
right now, she still very much feels like an outsider, and she has no clue how long she'll have to stay here so she's trying to keep a distance with the people and the town itself
however, there's a part of her that wants to make herself feel like home, so i believe her progression will involve, hopefully, getting to know the people of gaenari a little more and opening up her heart
