#parent readings

Stray Kids’ Felix Lee is someone who is pretty tricky and sly even though he may seem pretty chill, easygoing and without a motive. He knows who treats him genuinely and who just wants to use him. He also knows who he can use and who he cannot. He likes to be in control of situations, a bit of a control maniac. He feels lost and useless without being in control.

Felix isn’t super career oriented. He likes to have fun and party with his friends. He is more the sort to use a social situation to show that he is on top. In a way, this can be like bullying or teasing others. He likes creating situations that are “fun” to him and likes to test people to see their reactions. He likes proving that he is right. In a way he is very experimental yet cruel. To others it is hard to sense his cruel side because Felix is able to mask that very well and play that off like he is playfully joking. 

Felix has a fascination with what some people may regard as “dark” things like death, surgeries, the inside body, etc. He doesn’t openly show this though. This is a secret of his. He likes those murder documentaries about serial killers and finds murder mysteries interesting.

Felix as a partner is self-centered yet he seems very caring at first. He will give his partner many gifts and do the usual courting. He will be romantic too. He remembers anniversaries and birthdays too. He feels like the perfect partner. After marriage or later in a relationship he starts to take more focus on himself and he becomes more controlling. Actually throughout the relationship his partner will later realize that Felix has always been in control and has been calling the shots in subtle ways. It’s always framed as something like “This is good for you/I think this is best for you...” His partner will be envied by everyone around them because Felix is the perfect partner in their eyes, so they won’t understand his partner’s frustrations/complaints. Felix’s marriage likely will end in divorce many years into the marriage or something happens so that his partner dies before he does. If the partner dies earlier then Felix will receive a big inheritance and people will sympathize with him because he is known as a good husband and father.

Kylie’s marriage is more tumultuous than advertised. She uses the marriage to create this image about her and her family. She does love him, but she does have a business angle to the marriage too. There are a lot of ups and downs in this marriage, lots of angry fights and shouting and crying children noises. 

TREASURE’s Choi Hyunsuk is reflective, pensive, and serious. He may crack jokes but in reality he is a deeper thinker than believed. Hyunsuk often overthinks and mulls over things, which can create sleepless nights. Hyunsuk is a hard worker, but he can be too hard on himself. He has trouble accepting fault in himself.

Hyunsuk needs to find healthy stress outlets or else he will be prone to unhealthy methods like binge eating, drugs, alcohol, sleeping pills etc. He feels a lot of burden as the leader of TREASURE. He really wants the group to do well and to shoot up in fame, but he is worried too about it. He feels all the responsibilities are on him. He needs to learn that there are some things that can’t be controlled and that he just can’t plan for everything.

Hyunsuk as a lover is the jealous, possessive type. He becomes very focused in a relationship, analyzing all sides of it. This makes it hard for him when it comes to dating because Hyunsuk will analyze all of the conversation they’ve had and the person’s reactions/actions. He’s likely to take out body language books to understand better. Hyunsuk is loyal in a relationship. He also demands the same level of loyalty in a relationship for his partner. However, many times, they don’t have the same “idea” of loyalty. 

Hyunsuk is unable to accept his partner hanging out with someone else that may have an interest in them. Hyunsuk likes to know what his partner is doing every day. He likes to plan for them and to take care of them. He has to learn to balance this controlling side of him or else he may end up making his partner feel very caged. 

Day6′s Jae is pretty egocentric and believes he is very funny when most people do not find him to be that funny. Jae overestimates his abilities for music and for other areas of life. Jae is opinionated, stubborn, head strong, and stoic. Jae is not the type to change for someone. He is very fixed in his ways. 

Jae is smart, but he is not very smart with his EQ. He actually offends more people than one would believe. He still feels he doesn’t fit entirely in with Korea’s society because he was raised elsewhere. He feels more American than Korean at times yet sometimes he feels more Korean than American. He is never really completely Korean or American and this identity crisis will plague him for his life.

Jae’s career peaks as a Day6 member. His career after Day6 is pretty stale, likely going to vlogging/streaming/broadcasting, radio, composing/writing music on the side, and being featured in other Korean-American/Asian friends’ vlogs/channels. He may also start a podcast as well. His career is a bit everywhere, pretty scattered as he is not really much of a planner either and gets bored of 1 thing at a time.

Jae has low attention to detail and requires a lot of fun/stimulation. He gets really bored easily, especially in relationships. His relationships tend to be quite extreme--very much of a rollercoaster ride filled with lots of drama, gossip, tears, fun, laughing, crying, etc. The whole package. Jae can’t really take “boring”. He tends to be attracted to someone dramatic and eager to try new things. He is also drawn to someone mysterious and quiet, the opposite of him. I’d caution him being with someone so different from him because he will have issues in the long run due to differences in values. 

I think I’ve done a reading for Jaehyun before, so I’ll keep this short.

Yang Mi and Hawick ended not so amicably, like most divorces. Yang Mi and Hawick had very different outlooks on life. Yang Mi was more authoritative while Hawick was more laidback. They also shared very different ideas about managing money, so they clashed there. Moreover, they did not share the same view on parenting. Yang Mi is more traditional as a parent and strict, even though she may not feel she is or portray it in public. She is not as affectionate physically to the child as the father. She is more tough love and this is probably why many people say she neglects the daughter in a way. 

Yang Mi prioritizes herself and her career and relationships over her daughter. Yang Mi sometimes sees her daughter as a setback to her future relationships in a way. Yang Mi thoroughly regrets marrying Hawick. He was, in her eyes, verbally abusive to her and he often lied to her. He was not faithful a few years into their marriage and hurt her a lot emotionally. He claimed she was not showing enough affection and not as sweet as before. She felt he was not keeping his promises and was not eagerly taking on opportunities he should have been. Both of them, at the end of their marriage, already had different partners in mind. Yang Mi also felt like she lost a lot of career opportunities due to Hawick. He controlled the roles she was able to take and indirectly directed her to reject some she might have wanted.
