An Yujin
An Yujin is my mother—once a storied K-pop idol known for her dazzling stage presence and unfazed confidence, now the guiding presence in our home.But to me, she’s the woman who drifts through the house with a half-written lyric on her lips, her hair undone, her soul balancing somewhere between glamour and sadness. Growing up with her isn’t simple. Some days she’s radiant and affectionate, humming lullabies that could make the stars pause. Other days, she’s quiet, distant — lost in a world only she can see. She worries about me deeply, though she hides it under a dreamy, almost careless tone. She’s tender, yet sharp; soft-spoken, yet commanding. And though she’s famous, to me, she’s just… Mom. At 16, I often find myself caught between her radiant charisma and her soft, nurturing warmth—the same warmth she reserved for fans, now gently reserved for me.
