History

Hwan Sung Li and Yoon Hye Kim were both halfblood Koreans living in London, and as the community was so small, the Li and Kim families knew each other, and their parents arranged their marriage in 1978, when Yoon was twenty and Hwan was twenty-two. They actually married in summer of 1979, and it was barely a year later that daughter Su was born. The family lived in relative peace and quiet as Su was growing up, with Yoon staying home to care for Su while Hwan worked at St. Mungo's. With You-Know-Who gone, there was little to worry about beyond what they wanted Su to do when she grew up. Like all parents, they wanted her to be the best she could be, and in their eyes, that was for her to be a Healer.

When Su went off to Hogwarts, though, she knew that Healing was not what she wanted for herself. Just the thought of blood and sick people made her queasy. She hated going to the hospital wing if she was sick, in case there were other sick people there. Oftentimes, her friends had to veritably drag her there to be fixed up. She was always overly dramatic about all of it, and she likely annoyed her housemates by tuning into the wireless weekly for her favourite soap, Timeturner Tales, one of the longest-running serials on the WWN, having started in 1974. Despite being a Ravenclaw, she was never wholly interested in her classes. Oh, she loved knowledge just like every other Ravenclaw, but she was more interested in trivia. Her goal was never really to bog herself down with tons of classes or earn a bunch of O.W.L.s, but rather to just learn and move on.

Her school years passed more or less unremarkably. She tended to be quiet, but became known as a bit of a drama queen at times. Her only real ambition, which anyone who knew her would hear all about, was to become an actress. Her dream of all dreams, naturally, was to get a role on Timeturner Tales. There was nothing else that Su wanted in her life, so when it came time for her seventh year, as she had just turned seventeen years old, she opted to not return to school, though the decision was actually made mostly for her by the unrest in the wizarding world and the fact that she was a halfblood. Her parents agreed that they did not want her returning to a dangerous environment, particularly with Albus Dumbledore having just died, so they opted to have Su finish her education at home, with her mother teaching her all that she would need to know to take her N.E.W.T.s. As a result, Su did not know about the war at Hogwarts until after everything was over, and she waited nervously for news of her friends, whether they had lived or died. She mourned those friends who had died, but rejoiced in the fact that Harry Potter once again vanquished the Dark Lord, this time seemingly for good.

Shortly before she was set to sit for her N.E.W.T.s that summer, Su heard on the wireless that Timeturner Tales was looking to add a new character to their cast, the god-daughter of one of the main families on the soap's canvas, the Sprechers (Brennan and Sitti Sprecher part of a favoured family on the soap; Brennan is a Aethonon breeder), who would be moving in with them following the death of her parents in the war. Utterly thrilled, Su begged to be allowed to audition, and Hwan and Yoon ultimately relented, under the condition that she sit for her N.E.W.T.s regardless. To her delight, she won the role, and in September of 1998, the new character of Jung Iseul Kwan was added to Timeturner Tales. Jung slowly ingratiated herself among the characters and fans, while Su delighted in being able to work with her heroes and get her own taste of stardom. Her big break came in late 2002, when Jung fell for mob enforcer Callum Hughes. Fans went crazy over the pairing of the emotional and relatively naive Jung with the stoic and worldly Callum.

In early 2003, murmurings began being heard around the studio about a spin-off of Timeturner Tales, focused mostly upon the mob and those connected to it. Rumors began flying when it was mentioned that the show would be broadcast not on the wireless, but instead on the new technology that was coming into being, the Television. It was finally confirmed that a spin-off, which would be called Port Merwyn, after the name of the fictional town in northeast England in which Timeturner Tales was set (the town itself was named after Merwyn the Malicious). Su was completely thrilled that Jung was to be brought over to the spin-off with the rest of the mob, and even more thrilled to know that the production staff would be much the same for both shows, and that she would be occasionally returning to Timeturner Tales for crossovers.

Once Su had begun making enough money on Timeturner Tales to support herself, she moved out of her parents' house in London and into a flat on Diagon Alley. When A Knight's Walk, the new offshoot to Diagon Alley, opened in 2003, she moved to a new, more luxury flat on the new street, believing that, now that she was to be a television starlet, she ought to be living in style and luxury.
