Growing up with three brothers, Yeji was the only who one cleaned up after meals. She thought it was unfair but was always told it because she was more meticulous than the boys. She played soccer with her brothers, but could only be the goalkeeper. She did not want to play if it meant she could only be the goalkeeper. When Yeji became a middle schooler, she wore a uniform; she found the uniform skirt, which didn’t let her run around freely, to be uncomfortable. But the teacher said that she had to have a special reason to wear pants. She ended up graduating after six years of wearing that skirt. She became a college student and after May 17, 2016, she met feminism and became a feminist.
