PERSONALITY
Ryusang is known for being pretty outgoing, often online and often greeting new additions to staff very early. He simply likes talking, to be honest. He's also impulsive, and more than a little weird—he took being a quirky artist very seriously, one could say. However, Ryu is an incredibly loyal person, and will protect the people he cares about with his own life.

BACKGROUND

Oh Ryusang was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. His parents were a little older already when he was born, and had hoped for a child for a long time. Of course, they were very pleased when Ryu was born. When he was ten, the family ventured to LA for his father's work—Ryusang's father worked in the entertainment industry managing Korean actors. There, Ryu was exposed to the high fashion world often embraced by entertainers and those surrounding them. He'd seen the clothes worn by many actors before, but this sparked a love of fashion in Ryusang that consumed him for pretty much the rest of his life.
In his teens, Ryu began to experiment with his personal fashion, developing a strong, yet unique sense of style. He began to lean into the reputation he already had of being eccentric and a little weird, becoming known around his school for being artistic and fashion-forward. After finishing high school, he attended university in London, where he earned a fashion degree. He returned to Seoul and got a job at HQ pretty quickly, as his sense of style caught the eye of the company executives.
