선니데이 !

“good morning, seoul,” her voice comes across warm and sweetly sleepy, like she’s been awake long enough to rid herself of a dry throat but not long enough to shake the sleep from her body completely. it’s reminiscent of a younger sister; the sweet and nice younger sister that woke up early to pack your lunch for that day. in fact, it’s a practiced voice; seona is very much awake by the time her 6am show hits the radio across the city.

“did you all sleep well? are you ready to start your day? for me…” she hums quietly, pursing her pink lips in thought despite the majority of her audience not being able to see her. “i feel like i could use another hour of sleep. maybe even just a 30 minute power nap would be enough to refresh me, right…? ah, but we’re all in the same boat, aren’t we? we can’t go back to sleep just yet, so let’s make the most of the time that we’re in at the moment. was anyone able to catch the sunrise today? i feel like it was especially beautiful today… i think that’s a good sign for seoul. i think we’re all going to have some good luck today, whether big or small.”

she smiles to herself, dipping her head down to check her handwritten notes in her journal. she wrote them with a sparkling pink ink gel pen she had bought the weekend prior. it made her happy just to look at the page full of notes.

“today, i wanted to talk a bit about family.” she lets out a breathy laugh, verging on awkward but earnest. “family is important, right? and recently, my mother told me the story about how she and my father met and it inspired me. i thought that it was so lovely… it sounds like something from a webtoon. they met when my mother was a junior in university; my father had just gotten back from his military service a few months before and had rejoined the university. they were in the same major and had some mutual friends; my mother, she had heard about my father from her sunbaes, but she hadn’t gotten to meet him yet because he was in the military, of course. their first meeting was at an MT for their department, and she said— wait, i wrote it down. i wanted to tell you guys as close to exactly what she said because i thought that it was absolutely endearing.” another laugh escapes her mouth and there’s the sound of shuffling papers. “‘i hadn’t believed in love at first sight until that moment. everyone had told me that your father was very handsome, you know... but i didn’t know what he looked like until that moment, of course. when we met eyes it felt like everything else melted away from the earth. so suddenly! there was only me and him there, i was holding my sleeping bag and pillow, your father was holding a case of soju in each hand. i’m sure he felt a similar feeling, even our friends noticed the difference in atmosphere between us. we spent the entire night drinking together and talking, sometimes with our friends, sometimes without. when we woke up the next morning to go home, he asked me out. we got married after we graduated, and a year after that we had you. i’m not sure i can imagine any other life that would be more perfect for me.’”

she takes a break from reading her notes, using the moment to let out a dreamy sigh. “isn’t that just magical? i think one day it’d be nice to have a romance like my parents, don’t you think? ah… they’re so lucky.” giggling from behind her mic, she moves her hair across her shoulders to rest on her back. “i was born in 1997, so my parents graduated in 1995. such a different time… nothing like that happened to me in university! it was much different for me… but that’s a different subject. i grew up here in seoul, not too far away from where my parents went to university. i feel that the circumstances surrounding my upbringing are what urged me to attend the same university as them. or maybe i just wanted to follow in my parents footsteps. i’m not really sure what pushed me to that university, it could have been a culmination of things.

“but i grew up kind of lonely, you know… i was an only child, so i had to take care of myself. i had to play by myself, entertain myself… it was hard. i had friends, of course, but there’s nothing that can be done when you leave school for the day, or you go home from hanging out, and you’re suddenly alone again. i think i had a lot of hard times when i was younger. but now that i’m older, i’m able to look at it differently. i’m a jealous person, if i had to share my parents love with a sibling i might have grown to hate them.” her voice carries the sound of a smile with it, and it’s understood that she was joking, but she backpedals anyway. “i don’t mean that literally, i’m sure i would have loved a sibling if i had one, but i’m sure i would have turned out different if i had to share my parents’ love. but then again, they say that your heart isn’t a finitely sized object, and that it can grow or shrink, so when you fall in love, make friends, or have children your heart grows that much more… i can’t speak from experience, of course, that’s just what people say.

“but i grew up very loved, i can say. my parents always took care of me and looked after me with as much love as they could give me. i’m very thankful to them for that. they always supported me, too, in whatever i wanted to do.. they bought me my first guitar and keyboard. they really… were just the best parents i could have ever asked for. i moved out last year for the first time; i moved into my own apartment. my mom knew that i was interested in growing my own herbs and plants, so she gifted me an indoor composter as a housewarming gift. that’s just to show an example of how lovely they are.”

she resituates herself, sitting up straighter her in her chair. “i had a very plain childhood compared to other people… i have a lot of friends who studied abroad, or moved around to different places, or were involved in super spectacular things, but… i grew up very plainly.” she pauses to gather her thoughts for a moment. “but there’s nothing wrong with that. i think the plain and simple can be, and usually is, very beautiful. in this day and age, with social media and everyone around us seemingly posting great things about their lives, we have to remind ourselves that plain is beautiful. our lives are beautiful! life is such a beautiful thing, seriously… everything in our lives has lead up to this singular moment in time, so we should be grateful for it…

“ah, i went on a bit of a tangent, didn’t i? i think we can go ahead and cut to a small music break before we start answering questions that you all have sent in last week. i know we have a lot of good questions set aside to answer and give our thoughts on, so i’m excited to get started on them! i’ll let you all have a small break from my voice for a moment while i play you one of my recent favorite songs. you know, i actually specifically requested that we add this song to our rotation? that’s how much i wanted you guys to hear it— oh! and it’s kind of fitting for the topic we just spoke about. it’s called ‘mood for love’ by the solutions. listen with open ears and an open heart! i hope it’s as healing for you as it is for me.”

she plays music in her free time to calm her down: guitar, piano, ukulele, all self taught. she’s never been classically trained or taken lessons in her life and she does it just for fun. she’s best at the guitar, ukulele coming in second; she’s clumsy at the piano but will practice a lot if she’s trying to learn a certain song. she feels the most accomplishment when she learns a piece on the piano because it’s so much harder for her, and it can take around a week for her to be able to play a simple piece fully and well. her guitar is essentially an extension of herselfthe mom friendshe has a sweet sounding voice, sometimes verging on childlike when she’s excited or wants to stylize it. she can also make it sound calming, which she usually does at the beginning of her shows, before she builds the excitement throughout the broadcast.gets nervous/flustered easily. once nervous, she has a few habits that give her away. bouncing her leg, chewing on the inside of her lip, clasping her hands, pursing her lips, rubbing her hands against her clothes (to wipe off sweat), sweating above her upper lip/at the back of her neck by her hairline, shifting eyes, occasionally stuttering, dry throat, blushing, red ears (this one is the biggest one by far. even if she’s just slightly flustered her ears burn immediately) the oldest object she owns is a stuffed elephant that her parents brought her home with from the hospital. her father bought it in the gift shop shortly after her birth. she slept holding on to it every night until she was roughly 12, but even after that it was always on her bed. the stuffing has since deflated and it’s head bobs back and forth when it’s held to and fro due to the way she would hold it while she slept. his name is 끼리끼 (ggiriggi) because she would stumble over the word for elephant. the most expensive thing in her apartment is an indoor composter that her mother gifted to her when she moved into her first apartment on her own. she uses it to get rid of her compostable food waste and uses the fertilizer to grow her own herbs and vegetables that she keeps on her balcony. she loves fresh food above anything.the most important object on her wall is a muji wall-mounted cd player that she uses to play her cd collection. she keeps her cd collection on a small, overspilling bookshelf. she has them stacked on top of each other, on the top of the bookshelf, beside the bookshelf, etc. she keeps saying she’ll buy a bigger bookshelf for them one day, but in truth she kind of likes how the bookshelf looks when it’s so full like it is. if she’s home, she’s listening to music on the cd player (namely iu, or a number of bands that she’s followed throughout the years. her music taste is vast.) she also has a record player that she has a significantly smaller collection for, so she gets less use out of it but that in no way means she loves it any less. an entire foodie. loves any and all food. her soulfood is her mother’s beef seaweed soup; it reminds her of her birthdays, fills her with warmth, and generally just makes her happy. coffee order: americano with added vanilla and caramel. she didn’t grow up with siblings, so she’s a little awkward with children. she just waves at them from afar and makes faces at them, hoping to get them to laugh. she’s often uncomfortable with the thought of romantically driven PDA, though she’s never partook in it because she’s never been in a relationship so she feels like her thoughts and opinions on it are not fully formed yet. she doesn’t mind seeing others do it, but the thought of herself doing it gives her worry. she texts a lot. will send paragraphs upon paragraphs just to give the other person something to reply to in order to continue the conversation. she drinks wine frequently. she has a very quiet, self reflective night routine and considers it very healing for her person. she starts by lighting a candle in her apartment and spraying her bed with lavender scented spray and immediately goes to take a shower, that way the candle’s scent had enough time to make it throughout the apartment when she’s out. after showering, she does her skincare, where she pampers herself however she wants, before she dries her hair. following these steps, she usually plays around with her instruments for a while, singing to herself or just practicing a song she had been wanting to learn before she lays in bed and scrolls on her phone, replying to messages or reading articles that she finds interesting (she also watches youtube videos if she’s in the mood.) usually she has a cd playing already. around 1 or 2am, she’ll set her phone down and decide it’s time for sleep.she collects skin care, hair care, and health care products like no one else. she likes watching vlog channels and reading blogs.she doesn’t have a hard time falling asleep, but she is a light sleeper. she also dreams often, if not every night. she’s considered keeping a dream journal, but she finds her mornings too busy to be able to write everything down. she’s a big believer in fate, and that what will be will be. she feels that fate can be changed to an extent, but major life events are certainly set in stone. very close with her mother. calls her weekly, meets with her monthly, texts her throughout the day on and off. she’s an extrovert, but she does suffer with mild anxiety, so often times she comes off as “shy” or “timid” before she’s close with someone. after becoming comfortable with someone, though, she’s a ball of energy. think… puppy-like energy. prefers simplicity. naive. very, very naive. believes that humans are inherently good and doesn’t want to see it any other way. always wants to think the best of people. falls in love with everything pretty.museums, cute coffee shops, pretty flowers. she loves them all. she follows a few influencers on instagram, but she mostly prefers fashion and home decor accounts. semi-interested in fashion. and her fashion revolves day to day. she likes the tomboy vibe, but she also likes casual, girly vibes and also high fashion items. she’s a hodgepodge of everything.prefers her hair long and hates the idea of cutting it. she’s spent years growing it out and avidly takes care of it. it’s like her child. actively reads webtoons. she can’t swim.she owns an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, a keyboard, and a cheap ukulele she picked up from a second-hand shop. she prefers the morning to the evening. she really likes the morning sunlight and leaves her blinds open before she sleeps so that the sun can come in before she wakes up.usually wakes up around 7~9am on the weekends. during the work week, she wakes up at 4am to get ready for work and make it to the studio on time. she loves taking the subway. she romanticizes it. she likes being around people even if they aren’t people she knows. her radio show is supposed to be easy-listening, and she makes a pointed effort in providing support and emotional vulnerability to her audience to gain their trust and love. at the time being, her audience varies from young to old, gender to gender, but her highest demographic is women in their early 20s to late 30s. when she brings in guests for interviews, her streams gather more attention, though she’s popular enough that she’s able to sustain her audience and attract new listeners. she’s gotten some media attention for having an attractive voice and an attractive face, but she would rather people focus on the content of her broadcasts and gain energy through them than what she looks like. her show touches on different topics on different days and runs from 7am to 9am. (SCHEDULE TBA) she shows off a “naively mature little sister” image through her show, which isn’t too far off from her actual personality. her parents are well off and well-known in the entertainment industry. when seona graduated from university, they pulled a few strings to get her a trial run for a show on kbs. at the beginning there was minimal funding and promotion for the radio show, and seona struggled to gather an audience, but a few months after being on air, an idol posted a screenshot of them listening to her broadcast onto their sns, which resulted in a number of their fans flocking to seona’s broadcast.
