As the son of a Lieutenant Colonel and a retired professional ballerina, with an almost 15 year age gap, Jae’s childhood was an interesting one. He was constantly moving from one place to another which made it hard to make friends and setting down roots. Added with his natural restlessness, Jae would act out and became a disruptive class clown type; to gained positive rapport with his classmates and the kids around the bases. His mother was over how much trouble and embarrassment her son caused that she came up with an idea. With some coaxing and promises of extra dessert, she convinced Jae to participate in her dance classes that she held at clients home. Immediately, the troublesome young boy got hooked. With help from his mother’s strict instruction, young Jae became devoted to learning classical ballet and tap dancing. His father ,at first, was reluctant by this new development but warmed up to the idea as he saw improvement of Jae’s behavior.                                                              ✧ Dancing was the perfect outlet for Jae to express himself while using to burn up his energy. Over time he reach out to learn other types of dancing on his own, loving how each one have its own personality and history. He toned down his past mischievous ways for a more goofy sense of humor but the urge for a good prank still comes up deep inside of him.

Despite beginning reservations, Jae’s father was one of his biggest fans. Even going out of his way to see rehearsals if he knew he would miss a showcase. Unfortunately due to his old age, he died from cardiac arrest little over a year ago. In honor of him, Jae would wear his father’s dog tags, so he can all be with him, especially during performances (Either tucked under his shirt or in his pocket).

Background:

Kyung-Mi grew up in a small town with her grandparents, her parents, and her older sister. Her father was a very important lawyer and her mother was a hairdresser. Her father was much more traditional than her mother and as the head of the house, he set a lot of the rules. He was strict but loving. Kyung-Mi was a fantastic child. She always did what she was told, completed her chores, her homework, and followed all of her father’s rules. Kyung-Mi wanted to make her family proud.

She grew up with her grandparents living in her home and was entirely grateful for it. Out of everyone in her family, she was closest to her Grandfather. She loved his stories and his jokes and how he always knew what to say to make her feel better. As Kyung-Mi got older, she had so much energy and needed something to put it in to. She dreamed of being a dancer, learning every type of dance that was out there. It was her grandfather that convinced her parents to enroll her in ballet at the age of 8. She never looked back. Kyung-Mi took to ballet like a fish takes to water and as she got older; as long as she kept up on her chores and her schoolwork, she was allowed to try any dance she wanted. Kyung-Mi always came back to ballet though when she needed it.

Kyung-Mi and her sister were five years apart. They loved each other, of course, but from a young age were on different paths. Kyung-Mi was much shier, reserved, and rule-abiding than her sister. Her sister was so much more outgoing than her. When she was 15, Kyung-Mi’s sister decided that it was time to follow her dreams. The 20-year-old packed all of her things up and moved away. She was set on meeting celebrities, becoming an actress, and being famous. She even changed her name to Vanessa.

Kyung-Mi has learned every dance style she could. Ballet, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, Various Partner dances, and more. There are still more out there that she wants to try. Kyung-Mi’s goal in life wasn’t and isn’t to become famous. Her goal is to be able to spend her life doing something that she loves. Dance. She loves to perform and when she is dancing it is one of the only times, she feels free and alive and truly happy.

When it was time for Kyung-Mi to go to college, she applied to various performing arts schools. Eventually, she got into one of the most Prestigious Performing Arts schools in San Myshuno. She packed her things, tearfully said goodbye to her family, and left to follow her dreams. Kyung-Mi’s main love is dance but she had a secret. She wrote her own music, sang, and loved karaoke! Her roommates found her lyric journal and immediately asked her to perform for them. She was nervous but her roommates were blown away. They convinced her to perform in the school talent show, but not as a dancer; as a singer! Kyung-Mi did it and loved it!
