heyy day again with choi eunrin, 22, tkm major, and member of the green sleeve keeners, whl 89.4 problematics(?), and the iso melting pot. all my pages are wip atp so i’m just gonna be extra concise under the cut so we all get a better idea of what eunrin’s like 🤪
anyway letz get it!
short tldr;
born in seoul, adopted and raised in vancouver, canada by a very nice but also grieving korean-canadian couple. never set foot outside of vancouver after moving there. decided to yeet to seoul for school (claiming he wants to Get In Touch with his home country). settled on hansung bc it was the easiest to get into. has been here since his first year, flies back during long breaks to see his parents.
personality(ish)
friendly, judgy, semi-guarded. (basically nice but not 100% kind)
he isn’t opposed to doing small favors for you etc but end of the day his priorities lie with him ofc (also had a Horrible people pleaser phase his first year tryna make friends and now he’s kinda like :/ :\ :? about people asking him for things).
will see his own choices out to the bitter end even if it’s the wrong one b/c at least it’s HIS choice yk? for ex he moved to korea alone as a gyopo with Ok korean and limited understanding of the culture (manners, dos and don’ts, hierarchy, scammers on the streets, how the fckn public commute works) so ngl ate SHIT his first year at hansung—but it’s fine or w/e independence is sexy)
probably takes unsolicited advice the wrong way b/c why are you telling him wtd are you his mom
tkm (hanbang) major
random.org picked it and it’s not like he hates it/is bad at it and he’s even gotten used to the stench of the herbs and everything - ig what he hates is packing the medicine and his mf bilingual tongue keeps fucking up the names. likely won’t go into being a doctor in this field, highly considering being an acupuncturist instead. currently looking for human pincushion volunteers.
that said hates the stench of the herbs even though he’s gotten used to it (b/c who wants to leave class smelling like class for the rest of the day) so religiously carries a bottle of fabric refresher (clean, soapy, fresh laundry smell) in his bag + wears diptyque perfume bracelet (all this so he doesn’t smell like a 70 y/o man when he’s out of class :/)
volunteering twice a week at a hanbang clinic for extra credit, not allowed to diagnose anyone but he packs meds and sometimes get to poke people with needles so he’s learning Something ig
green sleeve keeners
genuinely like GENUINELY likes cleaning — it’s a good stress reliever and yk how people go on runs to clear their heads, it’s kinda like that (likely won’t clean your room though don’t even ask ?:) + he likes the clean smell (he’s v sensitive to smells ngl)
the green thumb is questionable though and he’s Trying (probably has a couple indoor plants stacked up in his apartment facing the sun), doesn’t like weeding but he likes mowing the grass b/c it smells nice
rather than picking up after anyone in the cafeteria he’s more so like HEY you forgot your napkin etc
currently helps out at the school pool yk... just picking up here and there for no particular reason + sweeping around the health building
whl 89.4 problematics (?)
works the mixing board with someone else (they take shifts or smth idk), doesn’t always show up for sessions b/c some of his schedules overlap
generally takes more of a behind the scenes role b/c some sunbae told him when he joined in y1 that he “didn’t have the voice for radio”
used to screen calls for callers for respective segments (advice, story time, fuck my ex!!!!) before that happened which wasn’t 100% his fault but he feels kinda ehhh so he’s taking a step back from that
@ him to play your shitty remixes or songs, he’ll do it!!
iso melting pot
has been in iso since y1, generally friendly and more laid back with people here over anything. just finds comfort in having a haven of people who are Also struggling to adjust tbt.
doesn’t.... do anything minus the cultural event, he’s mostly just here to chat with his friends lmasodfsdufhsuh
ok no, does also help with some translating with transfer students, taking them around campus etc
alw count on him to bring poutine and butter tarts @ potlucks
plots
standard friends/classmates/etc req
i think “friends” from canada/us would be neat - tbh doesn’t even have to be friends, maybe they just always seen each other on the flight to/back and they’re kinda each other’s unofficial travel buddy or smth
! first person he ever befriended in hansung who also showed him the ropes/how to adjust better living in a new city by himself — could’ve either fizzled as friends when eunrin started to get more and more settled in and picked up on his own clubs etc or they’re still super tight and get perms tgt idk
still looking for human pincushion volunteers
past flings/exes/etc
whl 89.4′s advice segment is private but he’s got a keen ear for voices and now he’s staring at you like he knows something he shouldn’t
nEIGHBORS @ 108th
i don’t have much left in mind so hmu for brainstorming!!
