Joren was born to Kiki Hong on the 30th of December, 1972. Kiki raised Joren alone in Village Green, with the frequent help of her sisters who fawned all over him. Joren made few friends in town until the wild new neighbor girl tackled him in their backyard-- KC. The pair became instant best friends, and could not be split unti circumstancees forced KC back to the family ranch in 1987. This devastated Joren, who felt like he never quite healed from the separation.
