⤿ 🌷 BACKGROUND .
if one were to take the time to explain the history of the koo family , it would take forever to get to the present . the koo family is one of those families where no one really knows their origin outside of members of the family , but almost everyone within the country knows of soonyang , a multi - profile business conglomerate based in the towering neighborhood of samseong - dong . with said family stems second youngest son koo byeonghoon , the eligible bachelor who found himself on the cover of various tabloid magazines in the mid to late eighties due to his handsome visual and obviously , the company that he could someday inherit . most assumed that he would remain a bachelor for the rest of his life , but it's a complete surprise when he announces his marriage to kim chaeyoung .
marrying kim chae - young was almost a no brainer for byeonghoon . he loved her , of course , but she also came as the youngest daughter of the family behind yoonseul , a luxury goods conglomerate . the union was a match made in heaven , and they married in a lavish ceremony . it doesn't take long for the couple to have their children— three daughters to be exact . their eldest is minji , and following her is their middle daughter seolhee . for five years after seol - hee's birth , she is the youngest daughter of the koo family , but the couple surprises everyone with their final daughter , yeonjin . the baby shocked their families with yeonjin's arrival , and questions soon arose as they never saw chaeyoung pregnant , but they were soon shut down by the couple announcing that they had used surrogacy to bring their youngest into the world .
growing up , yeonjin was the apple of her father's eye . he loved the little girl as much as he loved his eldest daughters , but for some reason , she was constantly given the cold shoulder by her mother and her sisters . she can recall days of not being able to play with her sisters or being shooed out of their bedrooms , often having the door slammed in her face . her closest friends within the house becomes the waitstaff who have been with her family for years . with her mother , yeonjin doesn't recall a time where her mother actually said that she loved her . at times , she can remember the wry smile that her mother would give her in a poor attempt at acknowledgement , but she never understood the cold shoulder she was given compared to her sisters .
if elementary aged yeonjin was heartbroken by the lack of care received by her mom and sisters , then high school aged yeonjin didn't have a care in the world . by the time she was sixteen , yeonjin was the only child left in the koo household as her sisters had moved out to start college . her relationship with her father remains positive , as he's the only one to show up at her dance recitals and sing her praise when she brings home stellar grades , but her relationship with her mother sours . now able to stand up for herself , there's constant arguments and disagreements between mother and daughter , some so volatile that she often begs her father to let her leave the home for nights at a time to stay at various hotels instead . she struggles with understanding why her mother seems to hold so much resentment toward her , but she never made an attempt to ask why— her mother never wanted to talk to her for longer than five minutes anyway .
years pass , and yeonjin graduates from high school with an acceptance to ewha womans university in her back pocket . a communications and media major , it's not a surprise that yeonjin knows her way around social media and how to market herself . now , she always had something of a following on social media , but she was able to grow said following once she began sharing more of her lavish lifestyle . at first , yeonjin thinks nothing of it until she's approached to appear in a music video for a popular idol group . yeonjin graduates from ewha with a newfound fame , suddenly finding herself attending seoul fashion week , and getting invited to some of the city's most exclusive events . eventually , she makes the solo move across the pond to new york , where she has been for the last year and a half .
for the time that she's been in new york , yeonjin has been something of a media darling as she is often talked about in the media for her fashion style as well as her lavish lifestyle , as she's been living at the baccarat hotel since she made her move .
⤿ 🌷 HEADCANONS .
yeonjin lives at the baccarat hotel simply because she couldn't imagine beind a homeowner at her age . she doesn't even want to rent . she doesn't have a single homemaker bone in her body , and the most she can do is make herself a pot of ramen , and that's on a good day .
she's got a bad case of mommy issues and would honestly prefer to not talk about her . the two have never seen eye to eye , and they most likely never will . her sisters are not close to her at all , often leaving yeonjin to feel as though she's on an island all by herself . she doesn't want to have a relationship with them , despite how much her grandparents would like for her to .
she is not a fashion girly in the slightest , but she is a known fixture within the industry . she can often be seen sitting front row at various fashion shows , and gets invited to many star - studded events . yeonjin has even appeared on a handful of magazine covers .
yeonjin is currently a global brand ambassador for bottega veneta , and can be seen promoting the brand or attending their luxury events . she is also an ambassador for chopard .
personality wise , yeonjin is a loyal friend who makes the conscious effort to be there for those that she cares about . she's charming and can easily spark up a conversation with anyone , but she doesn't take to being talked down to or belittled for no reason . she can stick up for herself and refuses to let anyone think they can walk all over her .
she has never been in a long - term relationship , but there has been one person in her life that she can't seem to shake ( 👀 a wc perhaps ? ) . she finds long - lasting relationships to be a waste of time , and she doesn't like the idea of being entirely vulnerable with someone to that extent . it would take someone a long time to fully penetrate the walls of concrete she's built around her heart , but it's not to say that they couldn't come crumbling down for the right person .
