jeon jeongguk, the nations golden boy, and very well so. at age fifteen he set off on this path, hoping to make a name for himself and he did so just three years later. since then, no one can get enough of him. now, age twenty three, he finds himself void of any passion or adoration for the music, for life. drinking and the consumption of a number of various drugs ensue, dragging him farther and farther away from reality.
pranpiya manoban, a simple thai girl come to a new country to do what most foreigners go to new countries for: to dream. waiting tables by day, dancing and singing by night, she finds that her dreams are slowly seeming less and less achievable. her home seems all the more appealing and she fights the constant yearning to go back. however, her persistence in the matter is what keeps her from doing so, and the very belief that she will make it back one day with something to show for it.
two lives, one dream and an insurmountable amount of love.
BORN SIN(N)GER
i'm a born singer they tell me
however, in the mirror i'm not that
i have no angelic voice nor a cherub like face
my nails scrape across my skin leaving scars for days
visible they are not to the hoards of people constantly surrounding me
clouding my vision until the only thing i see is what i truly am
a born sinner
paying for what i have done heavily
here i stand as testimony
please let me up and leave so i can find something worthwhile, something other than this
this that has become nothing except a ritual i must perform for the sake of my name
a sinner's name
