FAMILY: Kim Myungjun (father), Charlotte Taylor (mother), Zoe (sister, 14), Zachary (brother, 12) FACTS—
→ Shorter than he looks. (170cm.) Wears shoes with thick soles 99% of the time.
→ Works at an Ediya Coffee a brief commute away from his apartment.
→ Uploads cafe vlogs to YouTube once a week at EzraCafe. Currently he has 223K subscribers.
→ Has had to file two restraining orders so far against overzealous 'fans'.
→ In the closet in the sense that his family has no idea about his pansexuality. While he's only publicly dated women, he has had his heart broken by one man.


PAST TENSE—

→ Born and raised in Melbourne, he was the only child until he was almost thirteen. Being a big brother wasn't something he'd ever thought about, but it got easier as first Zoe and then Zachary got older.
→ His parents always expected a lot out of him- as their only son for so long, and then as the oldest, the heir to the family name and whatever whatever. He tried his best in school, but his grades were never as stellar as Myungjun wanted. He certainly wasn't cut out to be a lawyer like his father, or a brand consultant like his mother.
→ Video editing and production was something that he loved, though, and he got a start editing clips of people on Twitch. For free at first, then for profit, though he still undercharged, given that he was in high school and his parents still provided everything.
→ College came, and he was two years in, had just started actually taking courses having to do with his video production major when his father announced that they were moving to Seoul. He was able to transfer to a school there, but the culture shock and language barrier were too much. He dropped out.
→ His parents were on the verge of kicking him out when he heard a friend of a friend mention how challenging barista school was. Barista school? He liked coffee, he could probably do that, and the Korean used there would probably be less technical and confusing than what he'd been dealing with prior. His parents agreed to support him monetarily through the two year program.
→ Fresh out of the academy, he got a job at a cafe chain in a more quiet part of the city, started to make vlogs about a shift each week and upload them to YouTube. To his surprise, the channel took off.
→ Now, he makes enough from barista shifts to cover his basic bills- rent at a studio apartment of his own, internet and phone payments, groceries- and income from YouTube and any sponsored videos can go to whatever else he might feel the need for.
