Sovereign of the Sea (Groom)
Prince of the Stars (Groom)
엄마 (Eomma)
What started as a friendship over Kpop, Hoyo games, and Vtubing quickly evolved into a strong, familial bond. While some would be content with a single purchase of their favorite Kpop album, she truly embodies the best of fans when purchasing 6 of the same album because they are each a different font. Jen has equal amounts courage and passion, only outmatched by her incredible understanding and patience. Her presence at conventions has shaped her expertise for wrangling her adult 'kiddos' into hydration & and food compliance, while participating in (reasonable) tomfoolery. Anyone can have a 'mom friend' but having one you can call "eomma" is truly special.
