heyyyyyyy! 🐻 with me since this might be horrendously short and sweet, but i've got lim jiwon (jay) here. he was born in daejeon to a math teacher mother and a gynecologist father. all together, jay has six siblings (two older sisters, two older brothers and two younger sisters) so there was always something to do, someone to talk to, someone to help while he was growing up. which is a good thing, since jay's naive and curious personality always ended up getting him in trouble when he was younger (lbr it still does). at age eleven, his biological mother passed away from ovarian cancer and a year later his father remarried an american woman whom he'd met on a trip to hawaii. this was the tipping point of jay's resentment towards his father. to this day, jay isn't really too fond of his dad even though his dad tries at every turn to make amends.
following high school graduation, jay left his father, his siblings and his home for the city of angels on a hefty baseball scholarship while earning dual degrees at ucla (mfa in photography, ba in journalism) and working as a personality for buzzfeed at the same time. i have yet to figure out what type of buzzfeeder he was, but i do know that he ended up leaving the company because they don't allow creators to make content outside of buzzfeed and jay wanted to work on his own projects independently. and yes, he has a "why i quit buzzfeed" video. jay also did a stint as the blue knight at medieval times for the last few months he lived in los angeles!
currently, he's working in seoul as a commissioned k-pop photographer with a small bit of fashion on the side. he's worked for big music labels, small music labels, independent models, rap artists, friends, etc. as far as lines go, anything is on the table. people in the same photography circle, one or two people who recognize him from his "why i quit buzzfeed" video (or more embarrassingly from medieval times), an ex from a long distance relationship (m/f), family friends, random hook ups, flings, people he met when he was attending ucla, fellow gym rats, friends to go clubbing with, people he annoys, a roommate, anything.
i have a bit more here if you're interested in reading as well! thank youuuuu.
