Hye Lian (혜리안), the perpetual burst of sunshine, always seemed out of place in the dreary fog of San Francisco. Born and raised in Busan, he grew up amidst the bustling street markets, golden beaches, and the warm, boisterous community that shaped his radiant personality. Moving to the U.S. in his freshman year of senior high school wasn’t just a big leap—it was like jumping from a cozy seaside into a vast, uncertain ocean.
But that’s just who Hye Lian is: a jumper.
Back in Busan, Lian was known for his unyielding energy. He was the kid who organized impromptu beach volleyball games during his junior high school, led group singalongs during field trips, and even convinced the ajummas in his neighborhood to turn their Sunday knitting sessions into karaoke parties. Life was loud, colorful, and full of movement.
Then, when his family announced they were moving to San Francisco for his father’s job, he didn’t cry or protest. Instead, he grabbed his favorite volleyball, held it high, and declared, "It’s fine! I’ll just bring Busan’s sunshine to America!". But no one warned him how cold California could be—not just in terms of weather, but in the subtle ways people distanced themselves.
Trivia
- His Korean accent is unmistakable, and he refuses to change it. He loves using Korean phrases mid-conversation, like "Daebak!" or "Aigo!"—even if no one around him understands.
- Hye Lian has a go-to karaoke song: Cheer Up by TWICE.
- "Awesome" was the first English word he truly mastered because his volleyball coach kept shouting it at him during his first practice in the U.S
Relation
- He’s currently in “something special” phase with his junior, Liao Yuxuan. They first met when Yuxuan, lost in the school due to his curiosity, accidentally bumped into Lian near the gym—a chance encounter that sparked an unexpected bond.
