Oh-sol has worked all sorts of part-time jobs while striving for a full-time job and does not have the luxury to date or clean. She gave up on being neat after facing the tough reality of the world and is known for always wearing her trademark tracksuit. But she has a bright personality and does not mind getting dirty.
