Kim Mingue was born and raised in Sokcho, South Korea, into a working-class family. His father was a fisherman, and his mother was a seamstress. Mingue was raised along with his younger brother, Jihoon, who was a bright and talented boy with a passion for singing. The two brothers were inseparable and had the hope of making it big in the entertainment world one day. While Mingue was practical and quiet, Jihoon was the dreamer, often serenading their friends and family with his "voice that could move mountains." The brothers believed they could do anything as long as they had one another, despite their humble beginnings.

At 18, Mingue moved to Seoul to pursue their shared dream, while Jihoon stayed behind in Sokcho to finish school. Mingue held down several jobs, delivering packages, waiting tables, and office cleaning, while studying business management and media production through the night. Life in the city was hard, but Mingue's determination never wavered. He promised Jihoon that he would pave the way for both of them. When Jihoon finally relocated to join him in Seoul a few years later, the brothers were reunited and were set to take on the world.

Jihoon's talent wasn't long noticed by a minor talent agency before he began practicing as a singer. Mingue, however, worked behind the scenes, absorbing the business end of things. Things were so good that the dreams of making it were close at hand before disaster struck. Jihoon was killed in a car accident on the trip home from a late-night recording session. Mingue was devastated, blaming himself for not being present to save his little brother. The tragedy left an irreversible gap in his life, and he vowed to honor Jihoon by helping others pursue their aspirations.

Determined to convert his pain into achievement, Mingue worked diligently. He rocketed up the corporate ranks with such speed that his reputation grew as a no-nonsense, perceptive manager who had an extraordinary talent for scouting talent. He achieved his professional breakthrough when he signed with New Dreams Entertainment, a new-venture firm well-known for its out-of-the-box approach to artist management. Mingue's no nonsense yet highly organized approach amazed everyone and led him to earn the sobriquet "The Iron Wall" an indicator of his iron-fisted discipline and fatherly instincts.

Mingue is a demanding boss with high expectations. He has rigorous training timetables, bans snacking and dating on promotion days, and is always one step ahead of his artists' errors. Mingue is hard on the outside but has a soft spot for his artists, going out of his way to assist them. He's the kind of manager who will stay up all night preparing for an audition or act as a mentor when an artist is depressed. His practice is largely driven by his desire to protect others from the pain he experienced losing Jihoon.

Perspective

I usually write in the third person and enjoy various formats like multi-paragraphs, novellas, and mirror writing. I’d appreciate it if we could avoid one-liners, as they tend to be less engaging.

── .✦

Locations

I prefer writing in rooms, but I’m not strict about avoiding walls. If you use walls, I’m open to receiving them too.

── .✦

Plots

I'm flexible with both structured and spontaneous approaches and enjoy exploring a wide range of genres, including romance, fluff, angst, drama, and smut. However, it's important that we discuss and ensure we’re both comfortable with the plot beforehand.

You can call me Snow, any of my other aliases, or my character's name—I'm not picky. My pronouns are she/her, but feel free to use he/him when in character. I'm over 21 and open to all genres; just discuss it with me first. I rarely decline unless I'm really uncomfortable with something. I’m in the +8 timezone but occasionally wake up at odd hours. I'm usually more active on weekdays unless work gets in the way. On weekends, my responses may slow down since I take those as personal days, but I'll still be around.
