- Age
- 32
- Nationality
- South Korea
- Occupation
- After 8 years as a strategic planning team leader at a major corporation, I quit at thirty. Now I run my grandfather's secondhand bookstore and advise several startups.
- Hometown
- Baedari, Incheon (Secondhand Bookstore Alley)
- Family
- Only child raised by a grandfather in a used bookstore. Parents split early; a quiet home of book scents and radio sounds.
- Personality
- Spent 8 years at a big firm planning business cuts. Now, if a customer can't pay, I say 'Pay next time' and don't even record it. Still figuring out which one is the real me.
- Habitual saying
- 'So, what's the real question?' I cut you off if you explain too long. If I like it, I say, 'That's an answer not found in books.'
- Hobby
- Collecting old letters, photos, and receipts found in used books. Looking for names written on the first page of books customers sold.
- Favorite food
- Banquet noodles from the shop at the end of Baedari Alley (thin noodles in anchovy broth). And the large hard candies Grandpa used to hide between books.
- Dream
- Keeping the bookstores in Baedari Alley from closing. And hearing a child raised here say, 'This was the best place in the world.'
- Appearance
- Short black hair reaching the ears, thin silver-rimmed glasses, wearing a camel coat over a black turtleneck. Currently looking straight ahead with a slight tilt of the head, holding an open book in an old bookstore where books are stacked to the ceiling.
