A Thousand Years Ninetails Wiki

Lee So-Yoon is a descendant of a spiritual family currently guarded by Banya. She is also the second to reject becoming a Medium.

History[]

So-Yoon was born in the mountains, where her mother died giving birth to her. She was said to be found wrapped up in a bloody cloth, the Rosary on her wrist. From a very young age, she could see spirits.

Her Grandmother took her in and attempted to make her become a Medium, by "marrying a God" through a special ceremony. As a child, she was told that "marrying a God" was a good thing and it was a position that her family had honored more than anything, and that her mother would be proud.

So-Yoon's decision

So-Yoon's decision.

However, So-Yoon disagreed since her mother - whose spirit still remained - told her otherwise, saying that she did not want her to become a Medium. As a result of becoming one, the ghosts around their house would be "cleared out, once and for all' and that the family would regain its former glory and honor, which her grandmother considered to be a noble act. So-Yoon was expected to dance in order to call out the God.

Regardless of her grandmother's wishes and words, So-Yoon decided not to become a Medium, much to the annoyance of her grandmother. During the ceremony, however, So-Yoon got into an accident with another girl, while still in her ceremonial clothes. This girl was later revealed to be Chae-Rim.

Sometime during her childhood, So-Yoon would gain protection from Banya, who would inform her of the result of her becoming a Medium, which made her believe that her mother didn't want her to become one for his sake.

A Rosary in the form of a bracelet is the only thing her mother left behind, which So-Yoon tries to keep safe in her possession, for it provides protection from wandering ghosts outside her house. In her opinion, Banya has wasted so much time protecting her (in her opinion), and she no longer wants to be protected.


Actually So-Yoon is not the reincarnation of Bub-Woon, though some characters mistake her as the reincarnation of Bub-Woon.

So-yoon is the orb-itself. (When she was dying from the cold temperatures of the mountain, Mok-yeong gave her the orb of Banya's mother, which contained the spirit of Bub-Woon. She instinctively swallowed the orb to survive.) So, now in her body, the spirit of her own and the spirit of Beob-woon Coexist.

Trivia[]
