Character buidling - Kyeung






[A woman in her mid 20s living in the 2020s, "Kyeung"] 

In neoliberalism society, she pays 350,000 Korean won(around 250 eur) per month to live in a 10 square meter studio. She wakes up in the early morning to do assignments, goes to Gwanghwamun during the day to develop her CV, and works part-time at a Japanese ramen restaurant in the evening. She relies on coffee, cigarettes, and chocolate to help her keep her daily life and suppresses her emotions. 

Kyeung returns home from her part-time job. She is 24 years old and about to graduate from university. If it were normal, she would have finished her work at 9 o'clock, but today she finished 30 minutes late because the last guest did not go out until the end. She has to submit her final essay by midnight, so she enters her tiny room with a heavy shoulder.
