User blog comment:CambodiaAaron/Survivor: Honduras CONTESTANT APPLICATIONS!/@comment-13375660-20170918023808

Name: Ji-Young Soo-Jin

Age: 25

Current Residence: Redondo Beach, Calif.

Occupation: Noodle Bar Owner

Personal Claim to Fame: Being Vegan for 12 years, Its, Its not as bad as you would think. Once you get, Get used to it. I would never go back to meat, Not in a million years. I'm, Also proud to say that my family opened the first Vegan noodle stand in Redondo Beach 5 years ago and we are still going strong.

Inspiration in Life: My Father, Jun Soo-Jin. He worked two jobs and, He gave everything he had and worked his fingers to the bone in South Korea so we could move to America and start a new life. I hope i can one day repay him for all the money he has put into bringing our family to the states when i was just a baby and for loaning me the money i needed to start my own food stand 5 years ago when i finished training to become a noodle chef.

Hobbies: Experimenting with new Vegan recipes, Surfing, Soaking up the sun, Jogging.

Pet Peeves: People who interupt when someone is speaking, I have a speech impediment, A stutter on certain words... When i'm, When I'm nervous. So i talk abit slower than most people. If people get impatient and you know, Inter.. upt me it really gets on my nerves. I also dont like people who, mock vegetarians and vegans, It's my lifestyle choice, I can respect others opinions but there is no need to mock people for their lifestyle choices.

3 words to describe you: Endearing, Cheerful, Different (Or atleast, I like to think i am)

Survivor Contestant you are most like: I'm not going to follow the "meta" and say Parvati or Cirie or someone like that because it's been done too much and as much as i would like to say Peih-Gee or Brenda i'm not going to stereotype myself like that. I would say... Hali Ford. She is someone i would like to think i could be like and someone who i respect as a player.

Reason for Competing: I am endebted to my father, So first i need to pay him back for all he has given me over the years. That's what the money would provide for me, Second, I would also like to expand my small food franchise into something bigger, Maybe a resteraunt or something like that? Lastly and most importantly, I think it is good to be put outside your comfort zone and what could be more uncomfortable than Survivor? I think at least once in your life you should challenge yourself and because i'm a Vegan, Survivor is going to be a big challenge for me. But i'm willing to give it a shot.

Why will your contestant win?: With a bit of luck and a good stratergy i think anyone can win. Ji is different, She's ready to play the game in new and interesting ways. She's not going to go in guns blazing, She's going to take her time and make the right decisions as problems arise. While she might struggle communicating at first because of her stutter, I think it is something she can use to her advantage. No one is going to expect much from her, They are going to underestimate her and that's going to be their downfall. She's smarter than people give her credit for and she knows what she has to do to make it to Final Tribal Council. Even if it means losing the trust and respect of those she meets along the way.
