The Kim family is a really loving family consisting of the dad, Hyun-woo Kim, the mum, Soraya Kim, the first child, Reign Kim, and the twin sisters, Jihye and Jiyoung Kim.
Soraya was a famous Georgia born Moroccan model who was quite known internationally. She was known as Raya Majesty. She travelled a lot because of her career. It was on one of these work trips she met her now husband, Hyun-woo.
Hyun-woo, who was in Busan to Korean parents, is a director at his father's building and construction company, Kim Construction based in Seoul. The construction company is a well-known company and many people's go-to company for renovations, constructions etc. It has also contributed to the establishment of many structures in the country as the company has other branches around the country. Kim Constructions also has branches outside the country so it is well-known internationally as well. Hyun-woo learnt how to speak English in university because of the nature of the job he would have to do, having to speak to international clients and manufacturers.
One day, as Hyun-woo was doing some paperwork in his office, he got a call from one of his friends, Jihoon. He invited him to accompany him to a fashion show to be held the next day in Seoul. At first, Hyun-woo declined saying he was busy and didn't have time for that. But then, Jihoon told him that there was a potential client interested in renovating his house who he would like him to meet. That was when he agreed.
The next day, Hyun-woo attended the high-profile fashion show, not as a businessman on that evening, but as a guest viewing the spectacle of creativity and style. The event was a dazzling display of the latest trends, where the city's elite gathered to witness the fusion of art and fashion. Though Hyun-woo liked some of the designs because it gave him ideas for a renovation, he wasn't really interested in the whole thing. He was more interested in meeting the potential client.
As the models graced the runway, Hyun-woo's attention was captured by Soraya, a model whose presence seemed to command the room. Her walk was a blend of confidence and elegance, and her attire was a testament to the designer's vision. Hyun-woo was there as a plus one, accompanying Jihoon, his friend who, though had an interest in the arts, was also a potential investor in his company's upcoming projects.
During the after-party, Hyun-woo saw Soraya and gathered the courage to approach her, before they started conversing. They discussed the intersection of architecture and fashion, how both fields require a balance of functionality and aesthetics. Soraya shared her experiences from the fashion world, while Hyun-woo spoke of his projects that shaped the city's skyline.
Their conversation was interrupted when Jihoon introduced him to another guest, the one he was supposed to meet regarding a house renovation. As Hyun-woo excused himself to discuss business, he couldn't help but feel a connection with Soraya, a shared appreciation for design and beauty.

The meeting with the potential client went well, but Hyun-woo's thoughts kept returning to Soraya. He decided to take a chance and asked her out. To his delight, she accepted, and they agreed to meet at a quiet café the following week.
Their first date was a delightful affair, filled with laughter and stories that spanned from Seoul's architectural heritage to the runways of Paris. They discovered a mutual passion for creating beauty in the world, whether through structures or textiles.
As their relationship grew, so did their understanding and respect for each other's professions. After 2 years, they got married. When they welcomed their daughter into the world, they named her Reign, a name befitting of one who would conquer . The hospital where Soraya gave birth to Reign room had been filled with bouquets of roses, a celebration of new life. Hyun-woo held his daughter for the first time, her tiny hand gripping his finger, and thought she was as delicate and beautiful as the roses surrounding them.
Seeing Reign so full of life and joy, Hyun-woo said softly, "Jangmi!" It slipped out naturally, a perfect fit for the girl who brought beauty and happiness into their lives just like the roses did. From that day on, "Jangmi" became his special name for her, a name that spoke of love, beauty, and the blooming of life. It was a name that only he used, a bond between father and daughter, as unique and precious as the roses that surrounded them.
After Reign was born, Soraya continued her modelling career while also taking care of Reign. Hyun-woo saw traveling to and from South Korea was taking a toll on her and he doesn't get to see her often . He then went to his father, who at first was furious about the fact that Hyun-woo was getting married to a foreigner but came around. He begged his father to allow him to travel America where Soraya did most of her work and also be the COO at one of the branches of Kim's Construction based in Philadelphia . His mum was sad that her son wanted to travel away from them and his father didn't like it at all but after consistent pleading, they finally agreed on the condition that the next time Soraya was going to give birth, they would fly back immediately and she would deliver her baby in Seoul. Hyun-woo was very elated as he agreed and thanked his parents; he then told his wife about it and she was happy with the development as well. After two weeks, Hyun-woo said goodbye to his parents and flew out of South Korea to Georgia to meet Soraya and Reign. They lived together in Reign's apartment for as Hyun-woo was working remotely and they were happy. After a month, Hyun-woo bought a house in Philadelphia, they moved in and he began his job as the COO of Philly's Kim Constructions. Reign then began to grow in Philadelphia.
After 6 years, Hyun-woo and Soraya travelled to South Korea so that Soraya could deliver her twin girls, Jihye and Jiyoung, names given by Hyun-woo's mum which Soraya liked. It was an amazing two weeks spent in Korea. The third week, they flew back to Philly. The kids grew up in Philly and Jihye and Jiyoung are going to school there and Reign completed high school there. Soraya quit her modelling career two years after giving birth to the twins and took up a career in interior design, opening her own shop called Raya's Interior. The family lives a very happy and satisfied life.
