Eric Nam: The American Maknae: Book 2

⭐ The SM Family ⭐

Kangta x Eric
(Father-son)
One of the legends Eric idolizes. Growing up listening to 1st gen Kpop he always asks Kangta about his younger days. Sometimes he makes it sounds Eric is interrogating him. One of the biggest question Eric would like to know is about his time with Rain, another legend.

"Kangta is one of the legends within the company. He's the only one who still remained in the company. His decade plus experience in music is something to admire. It's nice to hear his stories of his younger days." Eric

BoANam
Eric x BoA
(Idolization, Caring noona)
One of the sunbaes Eric admires. For the longest he has been a fan of music. A caring senior, she tends to Nam's needs and is responsible for helping become a better dancer. BoA says they should collaborate in the future one day.

"BoA is that celebrity sunbae that you admire. I was a big fan of her when I was younger so you can imagine when I saw her in person. While I may be father of SM, BoA sunbae is the mother."- Eric

Yunnam
Eric x U-know
(Admiration)
Yunho is the more serious of the duo. He doesn't partake in the Super Junior's antics as much as Changmin does. He sometimes scolds Changmin for spending too much with them. Lately Nam is trying to warm up to Yunho since they are on break.

"Yunho hyung is a very serious person. He's the only member that lets me speak to Changmin. He usually does not approve of us distracting Changmin. Something about us making too noise?"

ChangNam
Eric x Changmin
(Maknae brothers, supportive friendship)

One of the first sunbaes Eric has met. Changmin's personality is similar to Eric which is why they get along. Ever since the recent lawsuit, he's been Changmin's main support.

"Changmin hyung is a personal friend of mines. What's not to love. He's upbeat, hard working, and is a literal ball of sunshine! Ever since the breakup I've been getting close to him. I try to be shoulder he can lean on." Eric

Namyeon
Eric x Taeyeon
(Mutual admiration, oldest little sister)
Eric admires Taeyeon for her leadership skills and Taeyeon admires his friendly persona. Taeyeon is like his oldest little sister who knows how to behave. Both admire their great vocal talents.

"Taeyeon is someone who always impresses me. She has shown over the years to be a capable leader. Being the oldest she has learned to be self-sufficient. Her amazing vocals will leave you stunned." Eric

Namsun
Eric x Sunny
(Adorable younger sister)

Sunny is the cute younger sister Eric always wanted. Seeing her always smiling is enough to make his day. Sunny loves to spend time with Eric which is why Eric can be a little protective of her.

"Sunny is a younger sister I've always wanted. She's always enthusiastic when I talk to her. It doesn't take a lot to get on board with anything. I enjoy planning events for the SM family and she's usually my planner." Eric

Ricksica
Eric x Jessica
(American duo, Brother sister relationship)

Being both from America, they share common struggles being caught in two cultures. Eric likes the fact Jessica is well composed and she is someone he can trust with his personal feelings. Although she parted ways with SM, Eric is still in contact with her.
