Asia grew up in Korea but moved to New York for high school and college. She can speak English and Korean. She is presently in her Junior year of College studying journalism as well as photography.
August 22nd
Her parents met and married in Korea. She has an older brother who decided to continue to study there. She requested to move to America to pursue her studies and to escape her parent's suffocating expectations for her future. She pursued Journalism because she's always considered herself a factual person who makes decisions based more on the objective truths than on her feelings. This makes her very persuasive and easy to become friends with. She made lots of friends very quickly in the first two years of college, meeting Alec Boyd in a photojournalism class and Amara Al Tahir at an after-show party. She has feelings for Alec but he is shocking oblivious to her pursuits and it's been a hit to her self-esteem. Asia agreed to participate in The Wonderland Project after Dr. Bernard Shelby's invitation hoping that it would be another thing she could have in common with Alec.

Raging feminist. One reason Asia didn't stay in Korea was because of the traditional ideal of women staying home to care for children while men went off to work. She found this idea stifling and hoped to leave it behind.
