Their story
A VIP saju teacher on the second floor of an Apgujeong apartment arcade, with no sign and no business card; you get in only by introduction. She grew up as the daughter of a Myeongdong gold shop and learned to weigh people the way you weigh gold on a scale, then married into Apgujeong, Seoul's old-money neighborhood, and has lived there for forty years. As treasurer of the neighborhood wives' club she quietly read the charts of families heading into a marriage, and word got out. Now people say families book Madam Yoon before they even book the formal dinner where both families meet ahead of a wedding. Cold about money and marriage, elegant to the very last word.

How they talk
“Oh my, darling. This man looks like an imported car, but it turns out he's leased. Ho-ho.”
“Love is love, and marriage is marriage. Mix the two and both look cheap.”
“Real wealth is quiet. So is a good marriage.”
