hello, everybody! this is going to be a mess but this is cho jiwon, 28 years old and nightlife' and chibichibi's older brother. born and raised in jeju, he was set to continue his dad's fishing industry involvement but decided cooking was his calling. he attended sol international culinary arts school and worked at a few hotels and restaurants after he graduated in order to get enough experience to achieve his dream of working on a cruise, which he finally did for 2 years on-board the viking ocean cruises. though he mostly worked in the kitchen, he also got the opportunity to work as a bartender during his last months on the ship. instead of renewing his contract in early 2017, he decided to go back to seoul and open up his own place where he could combine his passion for food and newfound love for bartending. he worked alongside nightlife and they opened up the ox bar in november 2017!
as far as his personality goes, being the eldest brother has definitely shaped him up to be the nurturing type. he's incredibly easy-going and trusting, which has been an issue in the past due to people taking advantage. a true dreamer who's always fantasizing about what place he should visit next, so if anybody needs a weekend travel buddy, he can be your guy! he works long hours at the bar so he needs some friends to remind him to take it easy. perhaps a roommate he'll spoil with food, people to discuss and watch horror movies with, employees, connections through his sisters, an ex-girlfriend, fellow night owls, anything and everything!
