park sooyoung, queer, cisfemale, she/her. ♡ now entering the apartment building is ( song yeoreum ), a ( twenty seven ) year old who is currently ( a beautician ). netizens have said they seem ( selfish ) but others have said they’re ( fiery ) ! gossip aside, we’re sure they’re bound to be a fan favorite ! ♡
hi! ruvi here ( 23+, she/her ) checking in with yeoreum, your favorite, morally ambiguous side character ( with a hidden backstory? ). her info is below with some plots, like the post to plot and i’ll send a message to you ♡
yeoreum grows up knowing that beauty matters. it's hard not to, when her mother is a former miss korea, and her relatives look a little disappointed when they see her younger self standing there with not a hint of her mother's looks in her childish face. maybe there was a lesson to learn about loving yourself and inner beauty, but yeoreum missed it when she kicked that relative in the knee and the ugly duckling is a fairytale, anyway.
gangly limbs turn into good proportions, awkward features softening into her face with age, and suddenly, yeoreum is pretty. just in time for her to experience college in full bloom, shamelessly making use of her newfound looks and confidence to turn things her way. the jeju native does her best to assimilate into city life in seoul, though she occasionally pulls the wide eyed island girl card when she needs it.
she gets a job as a beautician after graduation, getting a job in the field that she knows best. it pays enough for her bills, and yeoreum has the people skills to move up and snag herself a reliable clientele with the money for regular pampering. it's one of her regulars who suggest applying for seoulmates, and yeoreum decides to go along with it to get herself some exposure and connections towards opening up her own beauty clinic someday. deep down, she's also looking for a community that she's never had, but no one needs to know she has actual feelings and wants to be perceived..
yeoreum is stuck in arrested development, still nineteen and making up for the lost time of her girlhood, trying to stay twenty-three when she was loved and avoiding all marks of the impending thirty that feels like the clock striking midnight. she doesn't look inward very much, acting out on her whims, and can be very petty when she wants to. sometimes feels like she's just looking for a fight ( she is ). in love, she enjoys the thrill of the chase, but hates the idea of being tied down and actually committing to someone enough that it'll hurt her when they leave. prefers flings and convenience for now, but she might have some growing up to do.
on the show, yeo is that side character who's always up to something weird. her sticky fingers keep getting caught on camera, she's got a tendency to lie off the cuff if she feels like it, and she'll drop random, confusing, horrifying tidbits of her life story that would raise a respectable eyebrow or two. if she's missing in action for an episode she probably got got!
