Character Name: Park Jung Hee
Nickname: Jung-ee
Age: 18
Birthday: September 12th
Place of Birth: Beverly Hills
School: Silver
Grade: Senior
Height: 5'8
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Black
Detailed Appearance: Jung's got a style that can really be defined. He will literally climb out of bed, take a shower and grab whatever is on top of the heap in his drawers or closet. He prefers sneakers above all other shoe wear and he's never seen without his black and dark blue striped fedora and a leather chain around his neck that has an etching of his mother's maiden name scrolled at the bottom part. His jet black hair is always in a mess since he hadn't seen his comb since 1992.
Even though he needs his thick rimmed glasses, he seldom wears it, figuring he is going to lose it anyway. Might as well go without it. This has caused him many a hilarious case of mistaken identity and bumps and bruises all over his body from bumping into people and furniture sometimes.
Jung likes to hitch one pants leg up with every pants he wears just because. It's been a habit since he was six when he scraped everything below the knee in a car accident he was involved in that nearly cost him his life. But he has a cool looking scar on his leg to prove that he was a survivor. He thinks it would score him brownie points with the ladies but it has never been proven. So he just keeps one pants leg up out of sheer habit now.
Jung has an oval shaped face that gives grandmas and aunts the urge to pinch his cheeks raw. It doesn't help that he has two deep dimples the size of craters either. He has that baby face look most girls would kill for. The dark haired boy often complains about his complexion, used to jokingly blame his mother for being "so Asian" that he can't tan himself to oblivion whenever he wants to. He isn't pasty white though, more of a soft off white complexion that is blemish, pimple and scar free.
He does love his nose though, getting it from his mother, sharp with a blunt tip and lips that is never short of a smile. Overall, Jung has a friendly face and a care-free style that he sometimes, very rarely mixes it up with something more decent but only for formal parties or weddings.
Personality: One thing about Jung that people immediately remember him by is his upbeat persona. He's seldom in a grumpy mood unless someones steals his work to pass off as their own, which doesn't really happen that often. He's pretty agile so he always manages to escape from bullies and jocks but that hasn't stopped it from ever happening, of course.
Despite his affable personality, Jung has a bit of a temper which if anyone triggers it, will have a ten second grace period to calm him down or he'll go Hulk ballistic on them. The things that have come out through those pretty lips just aren't pretty.
And he has intimacy issues that he doesn't know why about but it dates back to when he was born. So he has problems actually opening up to people beyond the usual pleasantries and commonalities. Although it doesn't keep him from making new friends everyday and with the merging of Gould and Silver, that opportunity opens up every hour!
He also tends to manipulate people without even realising it. And sometimes even without other people realising it either. But it sometimes makes him a bit confused when people get angry with him all of a sudden.
But overall, Jung is a happy go lucky, sweet albeit a bit naive guy who tends to talk too much, care too much and is probably the best at disguising his feelings from people. Whoever he opens up to later would probably either be the luckiest person alive or the unluckiest.
Thoughts on High School: High school to Jung is just a stepping stone to future greatness. He's pretty good at it and he excels in both academics and athletics.
The Earthquake that happened shook him up but only made him realise how precious life is. And the fire at Silver at first saddened him because he could have lost his life or someone dear to him but because he didn't, he appreciated just how much those people meant to him.
The shooting cost him some friends and partial immobility of his left arm from where a bullet cracked into his shoulder. Luckily for him the doctors his dad sent him to managed to repair it almost to full mobility. He just sometimes suffers from dead arms at odd times and he can't really bend his left arm too much because it still hurts.
Town Area: Beverly Hills
Job: He works with his uncle at his garage
Transportation: Public transportation or rides from his dad or brothers. He has his license but he doesn't want to drive
Family Background:
Dad - Park Jin-Sung - 52 - Owner of a multi-billion dollar corporation
Mom - Haley Loren - Deceased
Biological Mom - Sarah Kim - 34
Brother - 'Wesley' Park Jin-Hung - 28 - Marketing Executive
Brother - 'Douglas' Park Haneul - 28 - Associate Partner in a law firm
History: Jin-Sung and Haley met in a crowded room, no joke. It was freshmen orientation and they bumped into each other trying hard to find where they were supposed to go and have been inseparable since. Jin-Sung didn't waste too much time courting Haley and by twenty-two, they were happily married and Jin-Sung was on his way to being the youngest owner of a multi-billion dollar company. Along the way, the twins came and although Jin-Sung thought it was too early, Haley thought it was perfect timing. She did her best not to rely on anyone throughout her pregnancy, not even Jin-Sung.
Jin-Sung warmed up to the idea of having kids when he finally saw the boys in their mothers' arms. They were practically identical and he knew he was going to love them forever, even though he grew up with a father who practically shoved him into adulthood without much care for him. Jin-Sung cared for the babies and Haley throughout their years together and they were, in all essence, the perfect family.
Jung was a premature breech baby at seven months and Sarah, his biological mother had to undergo a C-section surgery on her 16th birthday. He needed to be incubated for one and a half months and was given up for adoption after his mother left the hospital leaving only a hospital wrist tag and a hospital bill paid in full. Haley and Jin-Sung knew about Sarah's condition because Sarah's parents knew Jin-Sung's parents and the couple as well and when they found out that Sarah had given her baby up, Haley push Jin-Sung to adopt him immediately, despite already having twins in their little family. Jin-Sung had never been known to say no to his young and lovely wife so he caved in and papers were signed, birth certificates were laminated and Jung was officially a Park.
He was raised as their own, neither Haley nor Jin-Sung wanting Jung to find out about his history even though when he was younger, he kept being teased by his other Korean friends that he looked nothing like his brothers or his parents. He had been so upset that he ran away from home for a few hours only to come back to his worried parents who told him that he was theirs, no doubt about it, after hearing from the other children's parents of what they had been saying to him. It made him feel that much better and felt more like he belonged.
When he was six, Haley brought Jung out for a trip on his birthday just the two of them and when they were on their way back, Haley had had a headache and accidentally swerved off road only to hit a speeding lorry that crumpled her completely, leaving Jung who was in the backseat relatively scar free except for the one on his leg that he procured when the car door burst straight through the backseat, it's edge catching on to Jung's calf skin, leaving him with a scar and motherless.
The years that passed saw Jung grow up to look more or less like Jin-Sung and the twins if only a little. The teasing became lesser and lesser and Jung started being the happy carefree young man he is now.

Likes: Jung likes to cheer for the underdogs in movies, finding that he can relate enough to the characters himself.
He loves learning about his culture alongside with adapting to the American culture.
Basketball and soccer are his favourite sports and although he first joined fencing as a joke, he started liking it in the middle of lessons and especially now since it only needed one hand.
He likes creeping people out by asking them to poke his arm with anything sharp when he loses all feeling in that arm.
In addition to adoring the consumption of anything edible, Jung is pretty nifty in the kitchen, much to the dismay of his brothers and dad. He really doesn't care. He likes to hear the sizzle of the wok and the smell of really hot kimchi.
He loves to dance at odd times. You can find him jiving and slip and sliding across the hall sometimes when he listens to his MP3 player.
Jung has the propensity to sing Korean pop songs and sing along to every single song on his player. Every. Single. Song.
Dislikes: Although he doesn't outrightly dislike purse puppies, he doesn't understand how people can go crazy over them and dress them up like baby dolls.
Something about science creeps him out. He doesn't know what...but something about it.
He gets a little jumpy around rats or mice or anything related to those scaly tailed munch grabbers.
Jung has a strong dislike towards jerks who mistreat women or effeminate men or people along those lines.
He also has a strong dislike towards soap operas, especially Asian soap operas. Have you seen an Indonesian soap opera? Don't even look for it. A revelation that the person having done a bad deed could last fifteen minutes. No joke.
He doesn't like it when people don't use coasters when they have a cold drink set on any surface.
He doesn't like watching animals get hurt.

Writing Sample: "I'm going to have to say no." Eight year old Jung grinned at his eighteen year old brother Wesley who was looking at him with a deep frown on his handsome face. "You said that last time!" he growled. "Well I'm saying it again! I'm still playing with the Playstation and you'll have to wait your turn. Ah-pah says so!" Jung turned back to his game until Douglas came home and grabbed the little boy and slung him over the shoulder.
"You're being a very naughty boy. Ah-pah says to stuff you in the laundry bag." Douglas started making ghost noises while Jung laughed, slamming his fists on his brothers back. "Babo! Let me down!"
"Oh! You swore! I'm stuffing you in the laundry bag and then throwing you down the laundry chute!" Douglas promised to which Jung squealed and tried to get out of his brother's grip. Not even half a minute went by and Jung was already shooting across the room to claim his throne on the couch. "You can't touch this!" He giggled loudly as he continued playing his game.
The house suddenly went quiet and Jung knew something was up. The twins were never this quiet so he knew they were both planning something, the tricky buggers they were. He paused and saved his game before turning. Nobody was around. He narrowed his eyes and turned back to his game only to turn back to see whether they were there and both of them jumped out from behind the couch, scaring the little boy silly.
As the twins burst out laughing, Jung was trying to calm himself down by grabbing on to the leather chain around his neck, gasping for air. Fluent Korean started spewing out of his mouth at twins but they were already walking away, satisfied that they still had the upper hand when it came to their last sibling.
