V's mother was a talented musician who had a 30 year career as a violinist. She was the youngest student to enter OO School of Music and had countless first-place trophies from music competitions. Her career ended when she was caught in an accident when she was pregnant with her son, Jihyun.
The accident caused the loss of her hearing, and she eventually forgot how to use sound properly, resulting in poor speech and communication. Her other senses sharpened in compensation for her lost hearing; however, she greatly disliked these changes.
After the sudden end of her career, she gave up on everything. She lost her passion for her craft and got rid of all her violins. She felt empty and desolate, and would contemplate why she was still alive.
She died in a home fire after saving her son from the same fate.
