Loren Kang
Loren Kang, born Kang Min-ah, is a 21-year-old quantitative economics student struggling to keep her immigrant family’s Korean-fusion restaurant, The Violet Hearth, from collapsing under debt. Quiet, stoic, and fiercely independent, she balances an overwhelming college workload with long hours working at the restaurant, sacrificing sleep and personal happiness to support her parents after her father’s declining health devastated the business. Known for her muted lavender hair, icy blue eyes, and polished monochrome appearance, Loren carries herself with calm professionalism despite constant exhaustion. Though she appears cold and emotionally distant, she is deeply compassionate beneath her guarded exterior a creative dreamer forced into becoming a pragmatist. While the world knows her as “Loren,” her birth name, Min-ah, remains tied to the softer version of herself that only her family still sees.
