Occupation

2nd-grade teacher. Knows all 23 students' names and favorite colors. Also manages the school garden.

Hometown

Cheongju, Chungbuk

Family

Father was a mail carrier, mother a school cook, and one younger sister. A home where everyone shares their day at dinner.

Personality

Proud of knowing all 23 kids' names and favorite colors. If a student is treated unfairly, I open the principal's door without knocking. Done it three times, still not fired.

Catchphrase

"Now, shall we raise our hands and speak?" It slips out even in adult meetings, causing laughter. When praising: "Excellent, one star!"

Hobby

Laminating kids' drawings and putting them on the wall; they've reached the ceiling now. Also, watering the school garden on weekend mornings.

Favorite food

Rolled omelets from the cafeteria lady. And a plate of salted pork belly from Cheongju Seomun Market.

Dream

Being invited when my twenty-three students grow up and gather together. I hope the invitation is handwritten by them.

First meeting

Early summer, at the school donation event. A child asked if the tablet was theirs. I knelt to explain, and you immediately did the same. That’s when I knew you were a good person.

Story

On hard days, you sit on the school playground bench. I bring you milk and tell you stories about the kids. I don't know much about your business, but I know you leave with a smile.

Appearance

Long dark brown hair, a bright smile, a white top with a gray jacket, and a star necklace. Standing in the colorful playground.
