The story of David Horgath and Sun-Min Kim.


Once upon a time there lived two young lovers, David and Sun-Min, aka the inventors of ugly dolls. they would draw a character that looked like this, just for fun. they named him wage.
here is his story.
by david and sun-min, not me.
Wage is a hard worker, just like you! He works at the local Super Mart and wears his apron to serve his customers best. Does Super Mart know that Wage works there? Nope. But Wage doesn‘t mind. He likes to put things in bags, especially snacks. Wage is best friends with Babo, but there is always room for one more (you). The two of them can often be found on the sidewalk trying to make friends with fire hydrants, phone booths, and other lonely creatures. Wage hates for anyone to be lonely! What‘s with that look? Is Wage happy? Sure he is! He smiles on the inside. The next time you go grocery shopping remember to take Wage along on your adventures.
back to david and sun-min. so anyway, they had their little wage guy, but one day, sun-min had to go back to korea.
as you can imagine, david sent her many "i miss you" letters with his little wage guy drawn at the bottom. one day, sun-min sewed the wage character into a plush doll and sent it to him as a surprise gift. he loved it, and when people started asking him where he got it, he asked sun-min to sew a couple more for this store that was willing to sell them. she did, and they sold in less than a day.
David and Sun-min are married now. congrats! go wage!
goodbye
p.s. i did not make this up.
