name: jia kim gender: cis female birthday: march 24, 1999 age: 23 sexuality: bisexual occupation: actress, model, social media influencer birthplace: new york city, new york current residence: los angeles, california family: joohyeon kim ( father ) , hayeon sohn-kim ( mother ) , two older siblings ( wanted connections, tba ! ) pets: black pomeranian beverly
πππππππ ::
originally from nyc !! her parents moved to la not long after she was born though, so she always claims herself as an la kid.
her mom was a famous skincare model in korea, who eventually moved to the states after falling in love with her pr agent who had dreams to travel abroad. eventually the two settled aind had three kids, of which jia is the youngest ( wanted connection ! )
when jia came along she was kind of just ... a born star ? while her older siblings definitely came into their own eventually, jia was one of the only ones willing to give up her childhood for the spotlight.
her mother, who always family cared so much about making a name for the kims in the states, was thrilled. she was always putting jia in acting lessons and putting her in any auditions she could find.
this, plus her dad's connections within the industry, eventually landed her her big break. at the age of six, she earned the main host spot as character lily choi on a children's show "circle time", with the show lasting a total of 5 years. before she knew it, her face was all over tvs, lunchboxes, notebooks, and backpacks.
with such a major role, she practically became the family doll ? the pride of the family, whose success put her in her family's unconditional good graces. and because she was in such a high position so early on, there begins the spoiled and hot-tempered nature that would put jia in a chokehold the rest of her life.
so she continues on several shows following her first success, mainly in children's tv. she's sort of known for her "girl next door" brand by the time she hits her teenage years, the majority of her best roles being holiday classics, heartwarming tv shows, or commercials with iconic jingles.
and things are good !! until ... they aren't. by the time jia hits high school, she finds it harder and harder to get roles. she's getting too old to play the roles she was known for, and yet no one wants to risk casting her for anything more intense.
so ... slowly, her relevance dwindles, along with her parent's affection. the love she'd always seen as unconditional slowly goes away as they turn their attention to her older sibling's success. for the first time in her life .... jia feels ignored.
so she brings the attention back on her the only way she knows how - chaos. an argument between her and her father breaks out at her high school graduation party, where he calls her "washed up". it sets her off, and before she can help herself, she throws the family's glass sculpture off the balcony, which led to glass being thrown and giving her father a permanent scar under his eye.
the whole thing was kept very secret after some under-the-table donations and pr work on her father's part, but there's still whispers around about jia's temper following the event. she'd always had one, but a temper with no talent ? her parents didn't see the use.
so, harsh as some may see it, they forced jia out the house and on her own, something she was clueless about. so now, she lives in her own house - and while paid for it, her parents have practically ex-communicated her outside of public appearances. but in the media's eye they maintain the ambitious, sometimes cold, yet always tight-nit family image they've kept for years.
her family still provides for her, but nowhere near the lifestyle she's used to. and so in recent years, she's begun to revive her name, playing into her passive, cheery image so different from her reality. it's mostly worked, as she's combined acting, modeling, and social media to become somewhat of a "gen z it girl".
and really, it's not about the money, or attention - as good as those may be for her. she's just waiting on the day she can rise to her former fame to bring her family down the way she feels they did her, no matter what it takes.
ππππππ ::
all this time on her own has did jia some good though. she definitely values hard work more now , even if her spoiled tendencies can still spill out from time to time. and even though she spent a good portion of her childhood separated from a normal social life, she's trying her best to make up for lost time by making connections now. she really values the few real friendships she has now, especially now that she doesn't have much of a family to run back to at the moment.
right now, she's primarily looking for an acting gig that'll really mark her new era as a more serious actor. but in the meantime, she's making sure her name doesn't become forgotten again, spending a lot of her free time modeling and upkeeking her lifestyle instagram & youtube channel, " sincerely, jia ".
definition of "i think I'm hot shit because i am hot shit" lmao !! if she has nothing else she will have confidence always. while she can come across as vein she also feels she has the talent to back up what she says, and in a way her confidence is a defense weapon bc it's one of the few things no one can take from her ??
if i'm being real .... sometimes she just needs to be put in her place. jia is so occupied thinking about self that sometimes she's not intentionally being selfish, but she can definitely come across as privileged or self-centered without realizing it. sometimes calling her out can honestly go a long way
can seriously respect hard work & drive, no matter who it is. one thing about jia - she's gonna eat off that silver spoon w no remorse. buuuut for those who didn't grow up w such a privilege, she really doesn't shame them, which might come off as surprising given her general vibe ?? but the thing she respects more than even money or fame is drive. if you've worked hard to get where you are, you've earned her respect, especially now that she's getting a taste of what it's like.
this probably goes without saying but - LOVES LUXURY. so much so that now that her family's taken some of that from her, she's working across three different entertainment sectors to maintain her lifestyle rip
surprisingly clingy ?? she's got that cold, i-don't-care attitude if she doesn't know you well but once you're close she's literally all over you. jia loves hard, and loves mutual affection so if it's a friendship or relationship she'll put her absolute all in it.
a bit of a habitual liar. she doesn't even realize it, but w her dad in pr she's grown up normalizing, or even encouraging, lying to save face. so if she thinks hiding the truth is gonna prevent her from looking bad ? hell yeah she'll do it.
( but hint : if they get closer to jia with time, close friends will realize she always tugs her lip and looks to the right before a lie. don't tell her i told u ! )
