## Pets

**Barkimedes**

**Barkimedes (바키메데스)**, also known as **Archimedes (아르키메데스)** or **Barki (바키)**, is a white Volpino breed dog. Simon found her while vacationing in Siracusa, Italy with friends during CALLISTO's hiatus. Simon lured her in with a turkey sandwich and after confirming that she was, in fact, a stray, brought her back to Napoli with her — where she (Simon) was living at the time. She is named Barkimedes after the Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor and astronomer "Archimedes" (287/288 BC-212 BC), who lived his entire life in Siracusa (Syracuse), Greece/Sicily/Italy and is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity.

**Yrsa**

**Yrsa (우르사)**, also known as **Little Bear (작은 곰)** or **Bear Cub (새끼 곰)**, is a Norwegian Elkhound breed dog. Simon adopted Yrsa in mid 2013 from a relative whose dog had recently had puppies after it was strongly recommended to her by her therapist that she get a service dog for her mental health. Because she is a service dog, Yrsa is almost always by Simon's side and so she is definitely the most well-known of her pets. Her name, Yrsa, is a Scandinavian name derived from Ancient Norse meaning "she-bear". It is possibly related to the name Ursula, which is derived from the Latin Ursa, also meaning "she-bear".

**Fuliggine**

**Fuliggine (풀리진)**, also known as **Susuwatari (스스와타리)** or **Sooty (그을음)**, is a black cat which Simon adopted as a stray. Fu used to hang out in the dumpsters next to the CALLISTO members [second] dorm. Simon used to feed her and visit her when she passed by, and eventually took her in. Fu has Cerebral Hypoplasia as well as some sort of mental illness/condition, so she wobbles a lot and isn't all there mentally. Her name, Fuliggine, means soot in Italian — referring to her appearance. Simon has stated that the name came, specifically, from how much she reminded her of the Studio Ghibli soot sprites in both appearance and disposition.

**Moirai**

Moirai (모이라), also known as bb (bb), is a Sphynx cat which Simon adopted from a family member who passed away. She had cysts on her optic nerves, and had to have her eyes removed when she was a kitten. Her unique appearance has made her quite popular among CALLISTO fans.

**Mors**

**Mors (모르스)**, also known as **Mortis (모르티스)** or **Vita (비타)**, is a black cat which Simon adopted from a shelter as a kitten. In Ancient Roman mythology, Mors is the ambiguously-gendered personification of death, equivalent to Greek Thánatos.

**M**

"Nekhbet" and "Wadjet", two African Pygmy Hedgehogs. She was given them by a relative from Egypt who found them at a market when they were very young. They were not being properly cared for, and so the relative adopted the four of them that were there and asked Simon if she would be interested in taking two of them. They are named after the Two Ladies from Egyptian Mythology, Nekhbet and Wadjet, who came into existence upon the unification of Egypt around 2686 BCE and serve to overlook and protect the unified land.

**M**

m

**M**

"Totoro" and "Pikachu", two Chinchillas. Not much is known about them, and there aren't many photos of them around. Totoro, the Ghibli Character, was based off of a chinchilla. Pikachu, the Pokemon character, was based off of a pika — a close relative of the rabbit. However, Pikachu is often misidentified as a rat or a chinchilla — hence the name.

**M**

m

**M**

"Hasenpfeffer" and "Aufschnitt", two Holland Lop Rabbits. Their names are both food-related. Hasenpfeffer is a traditional German rabbit stew, and Aufschnitt is the German word for lunch meat. She wanted to name Hasenpfeffer that because it's amusing, and then thought it would be fitting to give the other rabbit a German name as well so that they match.

**M**

m

**M**

"Bambina", a Leaf Muntjac Deer. Someone adopted Bambina as a fawn and then decided they didn't want her anymore and dumped her at a veterinarian clinic in Daegu. A close friend of Simon runs that clinic, and they were having difficulty finding somewhere for the fawn to go. Nature conservatories wouldn't take her, and nobody wanted her as a pet. The Callisto girls met Bambina while visiting Daegu, and really adored her. Simon ended up agreeing to take her back to Seoul with them. Her name, Bambina, is the Italian word for a female child. Obviously, her name is also a reference to the famous Disney deer character, Bambi.

**M**

"Pisello", a Rough Green Snake. Pisello originally belonged to a close childhood friend of Simon's. This friend passed away in 2014, and asked for Simon to take care of her pet. Her name, Pisello, is the Italian word for Peas. Simon's friend originally planned to name her Asparagi (Asparagus), but decided on Pisello instead because she thought it sounded nicer.

While they're still young enough to be allowed to trip and fall, it's important for them to learn the pain of it and how to pick themselves up again.”* —bb

*“I don't believe that life is for everyone.”* —bb

*“Advice? Focus on the craft; Study the greats. Try and understand how and why they made the writing choices they did. Then, start by copying them... just as an exercise.

*“Insecurity, for me, feels like the sensation of suffocating.”* —bb

*“There isn't anything that's evil to everyone. Even the worst evil saves something. On the other hand, even the greatest good hurts someone. The phrase 'There are no absolutes in this world' means there isn't any absolute good or absolute evil.”* —bb

*“No matter what you're doing, the most essential thing is to not give up. Fail as many times as it takes. Keep trying persistently until you can call yourself 'average'. If you can collect a nice group of average-level skills, that's already above-average. You've created your own sort of 'talent'.”* —bb

*“You shouldn't judge something without trying it first. Having a variety of experiences is part of what makes life worth living.”* —bb

*“You're absolutely right. I can't do ‘anything’ alone. Everyone has their flaws and imperfections, but that's what drives us to work together... To make up for those flaws. Together, we make the perfect main character.”* —bb

*“If she lost because of a difference in ability, it can’t be helped. If she worked hard and didn’t get what she wants, she can just work harder next time. If she gave her all for this, then it’s acceptable even if she lost.”* —bb

*“Making a record is a lot like surgery without an anesthetic. You first have to cut yourself up the middle. Then you have to rip out every single organ, every single part, and lay them on a table. You then need to examine the parts, and the reality of the situation hits you. You find yourself saying things like "I didn't know that part was so ugly." Or "I better get a professional opinion about that." You go to bed hollow and then back into the operating room the next day... facing every fear; every disgusting thing you hate about yourself. Then you pop it all back in, sew yourself shut and perform... you perform like your life depended on it — and in those perfect moments, you find beauty you never knew existed. You find yourself and your friends all over again, you find something to fight for, something to love; Something to show the world.”* —bb

*“I’ve gotta get out of the basement. I’ve gotta see the world. I’ve gotta make a difference.”* —bb

*“It tastes like somebody stole my wallet. Ya know?”* —bb

*“It's important to keep up momentum. Personally, when I'm home alone for long periods of time I get stagnant; I get restless and fed-up and have to see my therapist. Being at school, on the road, in the studio, at practice, at events... stuff like that keeps me busy. I'm okay when I'm busy.”* —bb

*“I saw so many kids who were bullied... I always wanted to stand up for them, but I couldn't — I was a coward. So when I got old enough; I said, I'm not going to be a coward anymore.”* —bb

*“Basically, we are all responsible for the preservation of our personal joy; but happiness is different. Joy is not circumstantial, happiness is. You can be depressed and still have joy. You can be suicidal and still have joy. We all stop thinking and we all stop talking and we all stop sharing and we all stop creating, because by doing any of these things we quickly find out just how unhappy we are. But that's okay. That's normal. Don't let the fear of unhappiness cripple your pursuit of finding what it is you believe. Since joy is found in belief, we all have to push through unhappiness to find joy... Basically.”* —bb

*“We're constantly faced with decisions. A lot of times, the right ones take more work; it takes longer to see benefit — they're the long route. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go for it.”* —bb

*“Don't throw yourself out on another’s whim. People change, as do intentions and as a result, consequences. Live for yourself — Love those around you, but realize that they’ve got their own agendas.”* —bb

*“You're such a gloomy gus, aren't you? You're so gloomy, indecisive, and pessimistic. You're also dull, insensitive, weak, a slow runner, a poor talker, a poor liar, have bad handwriting and suck at learning. You really can't do anything other than sing. Also you have short legs. But... that means you have lots of character traits, right? That's all you need for now, don't you think? If you don't know something, we'll teach you. We're gonna make your life more fun. It doesn't matter whether we're living it big or scraping the bottom of the barrel. If we live happily, we win. So let's take it slow and make sure you'll enjoy tomorrow.”* —bb

*“Be real, because a mask only fools people on the outside. Pretending to be someone you're not takes a toll on the real you, and the real you is more important than anyone else.”* —bb

*“Life's greatest tragedy is not that it will someday end, but that most only live to follow directions and sometimes we end up totally lost.”* —bb

*“Say what you want, but never say it with violence!”* —bb

*“It's easy for people to take advantage of your kindness, so be careful.”* —bb

*“Don't treat me as a fool, you pervert lady. Why exactly do I have to prioritize you over my friends?”* —bb

*“In exchange for gaining popularity, have I lost something more important as a human being? Emotions used to swirl within me when I practiced. Fear, anticipation, anxiety, hope... But now, day after day, I simply go home unharmed and rest.”* —bb

*"Listen, an entertainer's job isn't to show people their smiles; It's to make other people smile! Never forget that!"* —bb

*“At the end of the day, you can either focus on what's tearing you apart — or you can focus on what's keeping you together.”* —bb

*“I'm not perfect; I make mistakes; I hurt people. But when I say sorry, I really mean it.”* —bb

*“Don't waste time on explanations. People only hear what they want to hear.”* —bb

*“I hope we're friends until we die. And then we can be ghost friends and walk through walls and scare the crap out of people together.”* —bb

*“I think... When you fall for someone’s personality, everything about them becomes admirable.”* —bb

*“The sad thing is, nobody ever really knows how much anyone else is hurting. We could be standing next to somebody who is completely broken and we wouldn't even know it.”* —bb

*“School just really sucks because they take this wonderful concept of learning and discovering new things and just completely ruin it with the atmosphere of judgment, suppression of creativity, strict deadlines, basing your intelligence on a letter and wow you ruined it. Nice job.”* —bb

*“You're always going to have that one person… Would have, could have, should have - but it just never worked out.”* —bb

*“How we survive is part of what makes us who we are.”* —bb

*"I want to tell you that I know you have the ability to hurt yourself. You do. I feel like a lot of the older generation, when they hear about someone struggling with it, their first reaction is 'No you're not. You're not struggling with that. Don't think about that', 'Think about something else', 'You know you're just trying to get attention'. But, this song was really trying to say, like, 'Listen, I know you really have the ability to hurt yourself. I recognize that. But, let's take that energy and let's point it at something else. Let's divert that, let's kind of shift momentum, um, and look at something like art — or something like this music, specifically... or even point it at me. Just point it anywhere, but don't point it at yourself'.”* —bb

*“Let's take this energy, this focus, this emotion you feel that's obviously negative and let's try to take it and move it somewhere else. Let's kinda aim it at something else. And so I look at art, I look at music, I look at writing and lyrics, I look at a concert, I look at those as moments where people can take the things that they're struggling with and really kind of unleash them and pour them out onto this thing. That's helped me a lot.”* —bb

*“Dude, sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something.”* —bb

*“The only one who can decide your worth is you. If you want to earn something, you need to reach out for it. Pro-athletes give up their teenage years to train. Business owners put up collateral to borrow money. That's how it always works. To make your ambitions come true, you have to take risks. The larger the ambition the greater the risk. That might involve time or enough work to affect your lifespan... So make your choice. Live in peace as a wannabe or risk losing it all to reach the very top. You're the one who needs to decide.”* —bb

*“Things would have been so much better back then... If we had heard each other's voices. I hate myself for that. I was selfish, and I never thought about anyone else's feelings. Since then, my classmates, my family, my friends... they've all looked down on me in some way or another. I've lived for eighteen years, and I haven't lived one of them as a truly good person. The only time I heard their voice was when we got into that fight. And what pisses me off the most is the fact that I haven't really changed at all since back then. But... But now, I think I can understand what they were saying... I just wish I could've realized it back then...”* —bb

*“If at some point in life, you made a mistake or keep failing over and over again, and you can't help but think it's useless and you're good for nothing; Remember, you're only taking a detour. And I'm sure further along your path will come a day where you think, 'It was a good life experience'. That's why it'll be fine.”* —bb

*“The greatest value of having good friends is not what you get from them, but the better person you become because of them.”* —bb

*“When someone ends up committing suicide, everyone is there, they feel bad, they say they didn't “see the signs”, they talk about how amazing you were, and so forth. But if you tell someone you're suicidal, everything is different; no one wants to solve the problem. ‘Matter of fact, half of the time they act like it isn't even a problem - that you won't ever “do it”, that it'll just “go away”. They treat it like a joke… Being suicidal isn't a joke. People do consider it as an only option, and treating the problem like it doesn't matter will not get you anywhere. The only place it's going to get you is to a funeral. If someone tells you they're suicidal, don't push them away - instead, try to be the one to keep them here.”* —bb

*“No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments surrounding things like these are wrong. Only racists and bigots make them.”* —bb

*“I believe that people have the individual right to decide how they want to live. So whether you just listen to what others say, get stuck a lot of times, or cause trouble for others; it ultimately comes back to yourself.”* —bb

*“The present isn't everything, but there are things you can only do now, things you can only find here. It's now or never. Think, writhe, struggle and agonize. If not, what you are going through isn’t genuine.”* —bb

*“I'm the one who is grateful. That's because you're all willing to be my friends. For that, I'm grateful.”* —bb

*“If you really want to be strong... Stop caring about what your surrounding thinks of you!”* —bb

*“When you aim to reach high places, you may find yourself on narrow footing and feel disheartened. Your confidence will falter, and you will find it even harder to believe in yourself... If you ever feel that you can't believe in yourself, please believe in your friends.”* —bb

*“The world won't always go the way you want it to, so it’s better if you don't take it too seriously.”* —bb

*“So many people will treat you like you're a kid that you might as well act like one and just throw your television out of a window.”* —bb

*“It seems like we spent a long time together, but it wasn't. It was actually pretty short. Too short. So I kind of know, but I kinda don't know what I want to say. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and smart. He could do anything and was reliable. But maybe I just didn't realize what his faults were. He might have been hiding his flaws.”* —bb

*“Be whoever you are extremely loudly and be completely fearless when you do it. Just be fearless… fearless person, fearless artist, fearless accountant… Whatever you want to be.”* —bb

*“Being gay is like being left-handed. Some people are, most people aren’t, and nobody really knows why. It’s not right or wrong; it’s just the way things are!”* —bb

*“You're only resorting to physical abuse because you can't prove that I'm wrong.”* —bb

*“Don't sweat the small stuff. You'll only tire yourself out.”* —bb

*“I think there are times people are meant to die... even if I don't like it.”* —bb

*“If you think unconditional kindness is good, and any sort of kindness that comes with conditions is hypocrisy, you should reconsider. People can only achieve as much as the situation allows.”* —bb

*“Don't make yourself weigh your pride against your friends.”* —bb

*“There's no such thing as a painless lesson, they just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary, you can't gain something without losing something first... Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle...”* —bb

*“I now have things that I don't want to forget, and things that I shouldn't forget. And I don't plan to ever forget those things, as long as I live.”* —bb

*“Haven't you already lifted your foot, preparing to step forward? Then you only have one option; Finish taking that step!”* —bb

*“I thought I’d rather have my physical pain exceed my mental pain than the other way around. Because by hurting myself just enough, I could turn my attention to that.”* —bb

*“Knowing what's in store for me means I have nothing to look forward to. If I know something good is going to happen... then when it does, I'm only half as happy about it because I knew in advance. And then when I know something bad is going to happen... when it does, I get overwhelmed with this sense of defeat... and feel even worse.”* —bb

*“The most inflated egos are often the most fragile.”* —bb

*“You're just too busy comparing yourself to others to see. Those comparisons aren't the only measure. Don't say it's all pointless. You've worked hard and made yourself better. That's what you got in return. So don't put yourself down like this.”* —bb

*“Whether you get mad, whether you laugh... The sun will set, morning will come. Each and every time, it'll just start over again.”* —bb

*“If you don't believe in history... Just believe in the world you see with your own eyes.”* —bb

*“People do peculiar things when it comes to love... Our own safety doesn't seem so important.”* —bb

*“Trying to knock others down a peg just means lowering yourself. Don't go trampling all the hard work and trust you've built up. It insults the effort you put in.”* —bb

*“Just because you're tough doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, right?”* —bb

*“You need someone else to become more disciplined. No matter how hard you try by yourself; there's a limit.”* —bb

*“If you want to know how I felt about the complete ban on some culture and art that I could not understand, was not interested in, or could not accept; in the name of preventing violations of others’ rights or other trumped-up charges, I believe that would be taking us onto the road of discriminating against others. If we define culture as that which is healthy or humane, and defend that decision in the name of justice; once any part of that system collapses, it will cause an unimaginable number of problems for society. For instance, if I drew a line in the middle and erased one side, the next day, a new line will appear in the middle of the side that is left. I think suppressing the instincts and thoughts of the human spirit is bad. The desire for purity and wholesomeness, when taken to an extreme; is harmful.”* —bb

*“Who decides limits? And based on what? You said you worked hard? Well, maybe you need to work a little harder. Is that really the limit of your strength? Could the you of tomorrow beat you today? Instead of giving in, move forward.”* —bb

*“This is a case of personal feelings: there's no way to force someone into saying that he or she loves someone. Besides, only that person knows whether or not the love truly exists. Even if it's said out with false feelings, it'll just cause damage on both sides.”* —bb

*“Right now, I am a mixture of very happy and very sad. I’m trying to figure it all out; all of these feelings and emotions and words and thoughts -- and what they all mean. Everything I feel is a contradiction of itself, and I don't really understand any of it.”* —bb

*“Everyone deserves someone that can make them smile even when they don't want to.”* —bb

*"Nothing good can come by rejecting yourself."* —bb

*"The weakness in me that had accepted death has now become my ambitions of wanting to live and to experience everything this crazy world has to offer."* —bb

*"Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear."* —bb

*"No matter how hard or impossible it is, never lose sight of your goal!"* —bb

I can believe in my own abilities, or I can believe in the choices of the people I trust. However, nobody ever really knows how it will turn out; so choose for yourself whichever decision you think you'll love the most or regret the least."* —bb

*"When a person lies, what is important is not the lie itself. No, it is their reason; their why."* —bb

*“I only have one life, and I'll be damned if I live it in a way that would make me unhappy just to please somebody else. I’d already lived that kind of life… too much of it already.”* —bb

*“Maybe, just maybe… life isn’t for everyone…”* —bb

*“I didn't want to see anything worse than me befall her.”* —bb

*“If you truly, truly want the rainbow; you've just gotta put up with the rain. That's really it.”* —bb

*“Be yourself! Love your mum, but if she's trying to get you to be someone you're not; she's in the wrong.”* —bb

*“I don't ship anything; Except when I have to send packages through the mail. Now, please stop asking about fanfic.”* —bb

*“The closest friends are the one you’d take a bullet for. But they’re also the ones you constantly feel you could put a bullet through as well.”* —bb

*“Be real, because a mask only fools people on the outside. Pretending to be someone you're not takes a toll on the real you, and the real you is more important than anyone else.”* —bb

*“Don’t get stressed over the little things, and make sure you live life to the fullest.”* —bb

*“Life's too awesome to waste your time thinking about someone who doesn't treat you right.”* —bb

*“I think we should send a country some cupcakes. Do you think some cupcakes would cheer up North Korea? Kill 'em with deliciousness.”* —bb

*“It erases everything I hate about myself. Nothing can hurt me. I feel completely invincible. I feel like everyone else on that stage is invincible and we're capable of anything. There's no stopping us.”* —bb

*“The difference we wanna make is number one to let these kids know that they’re not alone, that they’re actually not that messed up and that they can do whatever they want; they can express themselves however they want, without being persecuted or called a f-a-g or some kind of racist thing. You know, really just to get people to get over their stuff so that they can live.”* —bb

*“Success can be defined in many ways, but failure in only one; quitting!”* —bb

*“Goals are your destinations in life; objectives are the stops along the way.”* —bb

*“It's okay to be different. Being different gives the world color.”* —bb

*“Know this: you can start over, each morning.”* —bb

*“The backstory to anyone of mixed race is a lifetime spent being incorrectly perceived, and choosing either to allow that misperception to continue or to correct it; So I am aware of identity and race as being much more fluid, I think, than someone who is "purely" one thing or the other. And actually, I think being an artist in a foreign country challenges me to address those particular topics even more than I normally would [have].”* —bb

*“I think being different — going against the grain of society — is the greatest thing in the world.”* —bb

*“You can't be a minority in this society without having someone express disapproval about affirmative action.”* —bb

*“Music is a matter of taste. Whining about someone for liking a certain style of music is like yelling at someone for liking broccoli with melted cheese — or something like that — y'know? I don’t understand why there are so many snobs out there who deem it necessary to force-feed their opinions to others, and claim that their experience in the matter makes their statement any more credible than the next, when, as I said before; it's all a matter of taste. If you dig it, awesome. If you don’t, awesome. It's just another plate being served at the world’s biggest — in this case musical — buffet. Don’t make some kid feel guilty for listening to what they enjoy.”* —bb

*"No, I'm only upset with myself for not having the power to protect what's important to me.”* —bb

*“If I tell you something that's bothering me and all you say is “that sucks” I'll literally grow a hate for you.”* —bb

*“It's okay to love something a little too much, as long as it's real to you”* —bb

*“It’s not like I woke up one morning, cracked my knuckles and thought, “All right, time to pick a sexuality,”.”* —bb

*“Courage is knowing that you're beaten and forging ahead anyway.”* —bb

*“I won't be defeated because I know how awful it feels to lose after doing my very best!”* —bb

*“The scars that you can't see are usually the hardest to heal.”* —bb

*"If you want revenge, do it on your own! Don't draw innocent people into it!”* —bb

*“Better to ask and be a fool once than never to ask and be a fool forever.”* —bb

*“It's a producer's job to make the most of limited resources — to turn an impractical idea into reality.”* —bb

*"If you keep on hiding your true feelings, who is going to be happy? If you are sad, you should say it out loud!"* —bb

*"Don't try to find a reason for somebody's love!"* —bb

*"Love is more afraid of change than destruction."* —bb

*"War ain't about right or wrong. Power. That's all it is."* —bb

*"There isn't a single person who's not afraid of a fight. What's important is how you handle it."* —bb

*"One can only grow stronger by conquering their past follies."* —bb

*"Those who want to do drugs are free to do it. Individual freedoms exist. Those that want to die have the freedom to choose how they die. But! There are people in this town who sell drugs to children, and you can't forgive that."* —bb

*"Don't use others as a reason for walking into death's arms."* —bb

*"Because you are young, you anger easily. Because you anger, your heart is in chaos. And because your heart is in chaos, your blade is dulled."* —bb

*"Making up your mind to move forward on your own wish isn't that difficult. It's easy to believe in yourself, after all. But trusting in someone else, taking action, and sacrificing yourself are things that require a tremendous amount of courage."* —bb

*"Not knowing what the real problem is before trying it is what makes the problem hard."* —bb

*"It's more satisfying to hear a single "thank you" than a lot of "sorry"s."* —bb

*"Even if many hateful things happen, it'll be fine if we live the moment."* —bb

*"No one knows what the future holds. That's precisely why, just as this reunion demonstrates, the possibilities are infinite."* —bb

*"After all, if you're the fastest at your own style... nothing's cooler than that."* —bb

*"The world is steeped in injustice! The strong dominate the weak! That's the nature of humanity and its idiocy!"* —bb

*"If you really want to change someone, you have to start with yourself."* —bb

*"Sometimes it's better to enjoy the process of love, rather than its realization."* —bb

*"All I ask of you is to not give up on humans. Please don't lose your faith on them. Losing hope on humanity is easy, and hating them is even easier. But to keep loving humans... is the most difficult of all."* —bb

*"There's no right way to live one's life. Our path in life just forms behind us."* —bb

*"Who a person hangs out with is their choice. And I couldn't care less about rumors. Until I tried talking to them myself, I wouldn't know..."* —bb

## FAQ

**Q: "Is Simon in a relationship?"**

A: No. As of June 2017, Simon is not in a relationship.

bb
--

Chinese heir **姬澄甫 "Jī Ch'eng-Fu"** and his wife, Australian public figure **Carmen Ngaire Romano Rosario Stellano-Maniapoto**, moved to Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on May 31st, 1994 with their three children **姬李雪 "Jī Lǐ-Xuě"** or **Letizia Ofelia Noemi Gaia Stellano-Jī**, **姬bb "Jī bb"** or **Lorenzo Romeo Giovanni Feliciano Stellano-Jī**, and **姬bb "Jī bb"** or **Vincenzo Amadeo Spyros Niccolò Stellano-Jī**.

During a trip to visit Ch'eng-Fu's paternal grandmother **해지훈 "Hae Ji-Hun"** in Daegu, the couple ended up meeting and taking in a child from an orphanage (of sorts). On October 15th, 1995, they officially adopted their fourth child — **라하늘 "Ra Hanŭl"** — who became known as **姬汉娜 "Jī Hàn-Nà"** or **Haneul Corinna Dionisia Clio "Hannah" Stellano-Jī**.

**Lovino Aria Romano Rosario Stellano-Jī** or **姬玄羽** "**Jī Xuán-Yǔ"** was born 4:02 AM on October 18th , 1995 at the Grand Duchess Charlotte Maternity Hospital located in Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. She was born approximately ten minutes before her fraternal twin sister, **姬秋雨 "Jī Qiū-Yǔ"** or **Aloisio Cosima Romano Rosario Stellano-Jī**.

Due to her family's status, her birth was recognised by a number of public figures, including Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg and his wife Princess Joséphine Charlotte of Belgium, Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein and his wife Princess Marie of Liechtenstein, Prince Rainier III of Monaco and his wife Princess Grace Patricia Kelly of Monaco, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and her husband Prince Consort Henrik of Denmark, King Harald V of Norway and his wife Queen Sonja of Norway, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and his wife Queen Silvia of Sweden, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Prince Vittorio Emanuele of Naples in the House of Savoy and his wife Princess Marina of Naples in the House of Savoy, Prime Minister Lamberto Dini of Italy, President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro of Italy, Chinese President Jiāng Zémín, and Prime Minister Jim Bolger of New Zealand.

Simon's family remained in Luxembourg for the first few months of her life before briefly moving to Italy to stay with Carmen's grandmother **Marzia**. While in Italy, Simon's parents travelled to Trieste — a city next to the border with Slovenia — to visit a family friend. While in Trieste, on February 28th, 1996, they had Simon and her twin sister baptised at Parrocchia San Pasquale Baylon e Sant'Eufemia — the same church/parish which Simon's mother Carmen and grandmother Llúcia had been baptised at in 1971 and 1954 respectively.

On March 30th, 1996, at 4½ months old, Simon relocated to Mianyang, Sichuan Province, China with her family. They settled in Qushan, located in the Beichuan County of rural Mianyang Prefecture — approximately three hours away from Ch'eng-Fu's maternal grandmother, bb, who lives in Pingwu County of [rural] Mianyang Prefecture. Simon's parents often took trips to visit Ch'eng-Fu's parents in Luoyang. Most of the time, Simon and her siblings would stay with bb in Pingwu — helping her and the other local farmers with their tasks.

Simon and Gabriel attended Qushan Kindergarten, while her older siblings attended Beichuan Elementary, Beichuan Middle School & Beichuan High School.

The family would also travel together quite often throughout this time — visiting various nations across the globe. Mostly they travelled to visit family, however they also travelled for competitions that the kids were enrolled in, as well as business-related things.

Simon's younger sister, Esther, was born October 31st, 2000 in Hong Kong. Her parents also took in a family friends three children after some unfortunate circumstances arose which prevented them from remaining with their biological parents. These three are Jiahu (Hitagi Junko), Caihong (Hitagi Satoshi) & Daiyu (Hitagi Kaguya).

On April 13th, 2001, Carmen was hospitalised and passed away three days later on April 16th in Mianyang City of complete organ failure due to Sickle Cell Disease — which she had been diagnosed with at an incredibly young age. She had already had surgeries and treatments for the disease in her youth, and had long surpassed the life expectancy of someone diagnosed with the illness.

Her funeral service was held in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia on April 21st. Toowoomba is the city in which Ch'eng-Fu and Carmen had been married, hence the decision to have her buried there.

On April 29th, 2001, Ch'eng-Fu took his children and relocated them to Shanghai. Simon and her other school-age siblings attended the British International School of Shanghai and tried their best to re-adjust to city life without their mother.

The family visited Ch'eng-Fu's parents in Luoyang together for the end-of-year holidays. On December 26th, 2001 — the day after Christmas — Ch'eng-Fu committed suicide. Simon was the one who found him.

Simon and her siblings remained in Luoyang with their grandparents until March, 2002. After that, Lǐ-Xuě and Zacharius remained living with their grandparents in Luoyang while the others went to live with family and close friends. All of them were legally adopted by Ch'eng-Fu's best friend, bb, who lived in Hong Kong — and went to stay with him beginning on March 1st. However, he was unable to support all of them since there were a lot of them and he already had two children of his own, so he arranged secondary guardians for most of them to go live with.

JiaHu, CaiHong & DaiYu remained in Hong Kong with bb. Simon moved in with Elísabet, a distant relative and close friend of her parents who was also living in Hong Kong at the time. Esther was sent off to Rhode Island in the United States of America to live with Carmen's childhood best friend. Gabriel, Aaron and Hannah went to live with Carmen's parents in Brisbane, Australia.

On March 19th, 2002, Simon officially moved in with Elísabet, her adoptive mother. Simon has recounted that they got along very well from the start, likely due to the fact that Elísabet is only around thirteen years older than Simon — so it felt like moving in with an older sibling, rather than moving in with a parental replacement.

On August 14th, 2002, Elísabet moved herself and Simon to her own hometown of Sheffield, UK. They lived in the borough of High Green in Northern Sheffield and Simon attended High Green Primary School.

On February 22nd, 2003, Elísabet and Simon travelled to Vancouver to bring home Simon's adoptive brother, Henrik.

On August 1st, 2003, Elísabet relocated her new family to Naples, Italy because there was a job opening and this way they would be close to a number of Simon's relatives and she could still be easily involved with her biological family if she wished to.

On October 1st, 2009, Simon officially relocated to Seoul, South Korea to train as a producer under Spectrum Entertainment.
