## Biography

### Early life

Much like Min-Yung, there isn't much known about Tae-Yun. Growing up in the same atmosphere as her sister, she was surrounded by love. There were expectations that she had to follow in which she wasn't the best at doing so like her sister was. Often she could be seen rebelling against her parents wishes and doing things that made her illusive as well as get into quite some trouble. When she was arranged to marry before she even finished high school, she followed through with it without much complaint. The man was three years older then her with a good job to take care of her. All she had to do was give him kids and make sure not to shame her family name. Rebelling was still in her blood and something she found the itch to give in which she did in a few ways.

One of those ways was becoming involved with a younger male who was engaged to her sister. He had just started high school and was a rather attractive young man. It didn't help that he had clearly been infatuated with her before. Often willing to hold her secrets that he caught her in or assisting in them. The summer after her final year of school, and her first summer married, she had met up with Shunyuan who insisted on going with her to the roof of a shop building that had become a hang out spot. People smoked, drank, and did other things up there. Something in her had decided to give into him which he gave her a grin that knew he would cause her trouble.

The first time they had sex was on top of that building behind the stairs entrance with only one brick wall separating them from where others were on the roof. It had been risky as she was a married woman but it was a rush that she had never gotten before. One that her well mannered husband would never participate in. From there, they were practically like rabbits who had sex whenever they could. She knew that Shunyuan was in love with her and even worse, that her sister was in love with him. It was something she failed to pull herself away from until she had been caught.

During a family event where they had all been gathered, she had escaped off with her lover to the laundry room. While on top of the washer with him all around her, she was caught off guard as the door came swinging open. Standing in the door was her husbands best friend and following behind him asking if he had found Shunyuan was her sister. Blood running cold as they were caught in this position. Caught in power, her husbands friend marched them out to the living room. Hell broke loose for the home as Shunyuan had to escape through a back door with her husband chasing him. In the following days, her parents called off the engagement and Shunyuan disappeared from her life as it resumed to what semblance of normal it could be. It was by some good grace that her husband didn't punish her too harshly or leave her.

### Season 2

During an event hosted by Mayor Rose, the Ki family and those related to them were invited. This included Tae-Yun and her husband who were interested in seeing America more than they were in what the purpose of it was. Noah had gotten to talking to Shawn's parents where he heard their story of travel and struggle. In a way to attempt to help bridge the gap made with the family combined with wanting a representative of the Korean government which happened to be the Ki's father, they were invited to an event hosted for them exclusively. Noah had proposed to be a chance to even maybe get the engagement back on. The Chiang's and her parents had a long conversation that ended in undecided territories which would be agreed on to continue over time to decide the future of Shawn marrying her younger sister.
