Your mother is so beautiful! No wonder she gave birth to a handsome person like you, NK. :)

“We don’t know a whole lot about him because he didn’t leave many writings or artifacts, but it appears he was an agricultural sort of guy.”

OOC;; Jin represented a loose confederation of states in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula during the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC. Many of those states were walled-towns with communal fields where rice was grown. What exactly happened to it isn’t well known, but it is thought that it either became the state of Jinhan or diverged into Samhan.

Jin State (grandpa Korea) + Guya and Mioyama

Jin has unknown origins but he was poor agricultural territory. He was often ridiculed for his rural nature, but gathered enough power to subjegate the other states and form federation in his name. Later on, he would develop a relationship with Gojoseon and his descendents would become modern Korea

There were many states in the southern peninsula of Korea during ancient Jin state. The two girls are the statelets of Guya and Mioyama in the future Byeonhan/Gaya confederacy. They are unrelated to Jin and each other, but the girls become the parents of Gaya. Jin was bullied by them for multiple reasons but the two backed down as soon as he absorbed their territories

He also looked up to China back when he was just a lowly territory

Gojoseon: Grandpa Korea

He’s the first Korea and the grandfather of the Korea twins. He paved the way for Korean identity and was an incredibly powerful nation. He’s very sensitive and gets offended easily, so it’s hard for him to make friends. Gojoseon is pretty forgetful because he forgot to write documents that would prove his existence (but he has high physical and intellectual skills). He eloped with the Jin state after his country fell

Gojoseon is not very flashy in nature, unlike his successors, so he wears the most basic clothing. He wears a braid bun to maintain his curly hair. His signature color is white because it represent origin and purity, a staple for Korean people by its color significance

Gojoseon was also childhood friends with China, but their relationship is a bit complicated
