Let’s continue with the Family of our beloved K, shall we?
K is really secretive about them he’s pretty secretive about his personal life in general
“K, tell me about your family.” - “I.....have one.”
He doesn’t answer any questions about them
The Gang jokes that he murdered them or something and K just stares wordlessly at them
Tbh, at first no one really buys it except Silver
He starts behaving weird around K because “HE COULD BE A MURDERER”
“Ollie stop, what could K possibly have done.” - “Tell me one personal fact you know about him.” - “Oh my god.”
They start an operation to find out what happened to K’s family
They subtly start asking questions about them more like Silver screaming “Where did you hide the bodies?!” over Dinner
At that point, K has probably had enough and introduces them
Surprise, surprise, he actually has a functional Family
They’re really sweet but also embarassing
“Oh, is this the cute animal rights group you’re always telling us about?” - “Mom”
They immediately pull out the baby pictures
He’s all rebellious and shit and they’re just like: “You do you Sweetie!”
“I’m going to destroy corporate evil today.” - “Good for you honey, bring a sweater.”
His Parents are called Seong (the Dad) and Dae (the Mum) But feel free to correct us if anything’s wrong with those names, because we don’t know shit about Korean names or Korea in general
They start giving Silver giant baskets of Vegetables to bring home with him whenever they visit
(Then they give Blond another Basket in case Silver runs out)
And for some reason they are always at his Parent’s house
He has lots of Baby Cousins and the second the Gang arrives, they make him play games
He’s surprisingly good with kids (at least with his cousins because they love him for some reason) cue to Jay drooling in the background
They’re like: “Let’s play ALF! I’ll be a puppy!” and K is totally embarassed
They immediately love the ALF Gang
They love Jay because he’s so sweet and he immediately starts playing with the children
And Blond charms everyone’s parents instantly
They actually think that Red is K’s Girlfriend for a sec which leads to Red declaring that she’s “very much gay, no thank you”
His whole Family is just really open and friendly in general and he’s the awkward one
She’s the edgy, emo, Tumblr-Girl Cousin who’s always on her phone
She’s the other odd one out in the Family so K loves her, but she’s weirded out by him
But of course she’s as loved by the Family as K is, so they’re encouraging of her too
She just doesn’t appreciate it as much
Jaime: *coming into the room wearing all black with red hair and some fake piercings* “You look good today, Sweetie!” - “....I hate this fucking Family.”
She likes swearing in general
Her actual name is Lauren but she prefers to be called Jaime because Lauren is too old-fashioned for her taste
“Prefers” - If you call her Lauren and you’re not one of the adults in the Family, you have a death wish
Upon meeting the Gang (more precisely Jay) the first time, the first thing that comes out of her mouth is: “You look like the fucking Onceler.”
But she says it in Korean, so Jay looks at K expectingly and K has to make up something
“......she says nice to meet you.”
She’s shittalking the Gang in Korean the whole time they’re there tbh
They sometimes hear their names and Red and Platinum totally know what’s up but Jay just thinks she’s saying nice things
She’s mostly just asking when JK will finally bang while smiling politely at Jay (who’s happy that K’s very polite, little cousin likes him)
Jaime nicknames Jay as Onceler btw
Once Jay finds out what Jaime has been actually saying, he’s mad at K for not telling him the truth while K is having War Flashbacks to all the times she told the two of them to “Fuck already” in Korean
And that one time Jaime got Jay a shirt that said “How bad am I” in Korean but told him that it meant: “’Animals are our Equals’ :)))))))”
But even tho the ALF knows now that K’s Family is not dead, there are still so many layers of mystery to them
It’s hard to make out how everyone is actually related (even K isn’t sure sometimes)
For example, there’s this one guy they all call Uncle but no one really knows how exactly he belongs to the Family
That’s about it! Those are our thoughts on K’s Family! (I’m actually lying, there’s more - there’s always more - but adding those things too would make this post way too long, so it’ll have to wait until they get a post of their own.
As always, feel free to ask us about certain stuff, we love to talk about Okja! as you can probably see lmao
Stay tuned for the other Families as well. Next up: The Kingstons.
