In Pearl Boy, Jin Jooha’s backstory is a heartbreaking narrative of exploitation and the search for a home that never truly existed for him. A Childhood of Abandonment * The "Mermaid" Legend: Jooha grew up in a small, coastal town with his mother. He lived under the shadow of a local legend about a mermaid who could produce pearls with her tears—a story that would later become a metaphor for his own suffering. * Maternal Neglect: His mother was emotionally unstable and struggled with debt. She often used Jooha's beauty and vulnerability to gain sympathy or money, effectively viewing him as a commodity rather than a child. The Cycle of Debt and Exploitation * Sold for Safety: Jooha’s life took a tragic turn when his mother effectively abandoned him to settle her debts. He was forced into the world of illegal bars and high-end sex work at a young age to pay off the interest on a loan that never seemed to disappear. * The Shell Bar: Most of his early adulthood was spent working at a seaside bar where he was subjected to constant physical and psychological abuse. He was treated as a "prize" for wealthy patrons, which led to the deep-seated trauma and "shell-shocked" personality he displays at the start of the story. Psychological Scars * Dissociation as Survival: Because of the constant trauma he faced, Jooha developed a habit of dissociating—physically being present while mentally "checking out" to survive the things happening to his body. * Distrust of Kindness: Because every person in his life (including his mother) had an ulterior motive or a price tag attached to their "love," Jooha entered adulthood believing that genuine care was a myth. The Search for the "Pearl" * Loss of Agency: By the time he meets the protagonist, Jooha has lost all hope of a normal life. He views himself as nothing more than a tool for others' pleasure, which makes his eventual journey toward reclaiming his own identity and body so significant.
