Jae's never been sure if his views make him more or less Korean - or if that's even a thing. The idea that Koreans 'should' be Christian makes him unsettled and the more he thinks about it the more twisted into knots his stomach becomes; how can they be so nationalistic and proud of their Koreanness, when they've let this western religion devour them whole?

"America was so aggressive and Seoul..." he trails off, there, and for a hundred reasons, doesn't clarify why he left South Korea. Maybe it's because he hated k-pop. Maybe it's because he held Sunny's hand too sincerely. "London was everything without being pretentious, even if it was just as screwed up as anywhere." He looks over at Sunny. "What's Busan like?"
