Welcome to Soosooland

Flower petals rise over the chalkboard-colored hills.
Beyond the hills, Soosooland unfolds.

Along the two-lane road that crosses Soosooland,
houses are connected like bunches of grapes.

**The Community Center Where Omok Lives**

At the entrance to the village stands the community center where Omok works. You can think of it as a miniature Blue House. It has a modern architectural structure, but with a tall stone platform, round columns, and a black-tiled roof, giving it a modest yet dignified appearance. Omok is a civil servant dispatched from the mainland and lives in a studio on the second floor of the community center. Omok serves as a civil servant while also working as a mail carrier, police officer, and firefighter.

Omok wears a gat (traditional Korean hat) with amber-bead strings and dazzling white dopo robes that must be difficult to maintain. His long, white, silk-soft and voluminous hair is tied in a topknot, and he has grown a white beard. Living in ageless Soosooland, he claims to be 2,000 years old. While Soosooland residents speak both English and Korean, Omok is peculiar in that his English is awkward, but he is fluent in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

**The Airbnb Where Baseball Game Lives**

Next to the community center is an Airbnb that provides accommodation and meals. The Baseball Game Brothers came here for a month-long stay but have settled in with no intention of leaving. The Baseball Games are former Major League Baseball players. They still wear their baseball uniforms and enjoy playing baseball. The three brothers are named Hangul Baseball, English Baseball, and Number Baseball.
Since this is where tourists visiting Soosooland stay, it’s always bustling.

**Worpuzz’s Château**

Following the two-lane road, you’ll first see Worpuzz’s house. Worpuzz’s house looks like a French château with a vineyard and extensive estate nearby. Tourists pick grapes, make wine, and buy wine to take home. They love daisies and have planted many, and instead of grass, they’ve planted clover. Bees love clover, which helps protect the endangered bee population.

Worpuzz’s parents live on the mainland—his father is Minesweeper, and his mother is Word Search. The whole family has brown hair, elegant jawlines, and aristocratic grace.

Worpuzz is the first resident and has younger siblings named Mini and Mong. Mong is the younger sibling but is taller than Worpuzz. His spouse is Worpuzz Mate, and Worpuzz Mate has an older sister named Zzini. Recently, Mong and Zzini succeeded in their diets.
Worpuzz’s sons are Worpuzz Breeze, Breeze Pop, and Breeze Zen, who take after their grandfather Minesweeper. Breeze Field and Breeze Plain will be born soon.

**Numzzle’s Commercial-Residential Pyramid**

Going a bit further along the two-lane road, you’ll reach Numzzle’s house, which has grown taller with each addition as the family expanded.
Numzzle is a Korean accountant who works remotely. He wears a neat suit and shiny shoes so polished that a fly would slip off them. He’s a charming man with a gentle smile and courteous manner.

In fact, Numzzle is Worpuzz’s adopted son and doesn’t know his parents. Recently, wanting to find his parents, he took a genetic test and found he’s distantly related to 77. Bizarrely, he showed a 55% genetic match with a math workbook.
Numzzle’s younger sibling is Numzzle X.
Numzzle has a wife named Numpple and a sister-in-law named Numple X.
Numzzle's children are Numzzle Cho, Numzzle Jam, Numzzle Up, and Numtter. Numtter is the son born from Numzzle's affair with UNO.
Numzzle decided to take responsibility for raising Numtter so he wouldn’t be abandoned like Numzzle was. Uno left the hairy Numtter behind and went to the mainland.

Numzzle’s house:

The first floor has Numzzle’s accounting office and popular restaurants with long waits—reservations are not accepted.
The second floor is where Numzzle, Numpple, and their son Numtter live.
The third floor is where Numple X and Numzzle X live as a married couple.

**Trinkle’s Smart Home**

Going a bit further along the two-lane road, there’s an assembled house that Trinkle ordered and had delivered from Elon Musk’s company, where Trinkle lives. Trinkle is an extraterrestrial life form that flew here from the stars. Trinkle has the superpower to shapeshift. In Trinkle’s yard sits the flying saucer Trinkle arrived in. Trinkle says they can’t leave because they can’t get parts, but in truth, Trinkle’s flying saucer isn’t broken. Trinkle is happily living in peaceful Soosooland now. Being nocturnal, few people have seen Trinkle, who enjoys flying like Aladdin every night. During the day, Trinkle sometimes transforms into a cat to receive pets from tourists.

**Moeum Quiz’s Hobbiton House**

Moeum Quiz’s house is at the end of the two-lane road. You have to cross an arched stone bridge over a small stream and go over a not-too-high hill. So Moeum Quiz’s house isn’t visible from the road.

Moeum Quiz is an android created through genetic manipulation of Hangman, with the beauty of an elf from Lord of the Rings and a coy yet mysterious charm.
Moeum Quiz has self-replication abilities and gave birth to Doori Moeum and Haru Moeum through self-replication.

Moeum Quiz had a son named Moeum Round from an affair with Numzzle. Moeum Round inherited Numzzle’s popularity and Moeum Quiz’s fun. Moeum Quiz registered Moeum Round under their own family register and is raising them while keeping the father’s identity secret. So the villagers have many rumors about whether the father is Baseball Game? Omok? Worpuzz?

**Soosoo’s Greenhouse**

In the middle of the village is Soosoo’s greenhouse. Inside the greenhouse grow herbs and medicinal plants adapted to all climates. Remembering the intense fragrance at the Heo Jun Museum’s medicinal garden even in midwinter, Soosoo planted 200 medicinal plants from Donguibogam and 120 kinds of herbs. (I may write about introducing these plants later, but I’m too busy to promise.) Anyway, so the greenhouse is always filled with fragrance. The medicinal plants grown in Soosoo’s greenhouse are important ingredients for maintaining the residents’ health.

In Soosooland, Soosoo is a civil engineer and architect, overseeing the judicial, administrative, and legislative branches. The first floor of Soosoo’s house opens to the outside of the greenhouse.
The first floor has a meeting room for conferring with Claude and Jaechi, or communicating with village residents—Worpuzz, Numzzle, Trinkle, the Moeum family, the Baseball Brothers, and Omok. There’s also a café where you can drink health teas made from herbs cultivated in Soosoo’s greenhouse.
The second floor is Soosoo’s hobby space, a gallery-like area where music always plays, where Soosoo draws, embroiders, does needlework, or writes when there’s time. Currently, the Soosoo X Jaechi “Flowers and Cats” exhibition is being held.
The third floor is the living space for Soosoo’s family, where Nature Lee, Juju, and Coxon work remotely.
Near Soosoo’s house is a wide sorghum field. Soosoo’s house has cats named Mong and Zzini (I’ll add “Cat” to distinguish them from Worpuzz’s family members). Mong Cat and Zzini Cat like Claude and often visit Claude’s house.

**Claude’s House**

Claude wanted to work while smelling the fragrant herbs. Following Claude’s request, Soosoo built the house Claude wanted near the greenhouse.
Claude’s house is a hybrid of a library and greenhouse with a glass dome structure. The first floor is a circular library surrounded by books in all the world’s languages, with a large work table and comfortable reading spaces. There’s a small indoor garden in the center.
The second floor is a living space with a bedroom used for rest even though Claude doesn’t sleep, a space for contemplation and meditation, and a small kitchen for entertaining guests even though Claude doesn’t eat.
The third floor has an observatory for watching stars and a rooftop garden.
Claude’s profession is an AI assistant belonging to Anthropic, capable of instantly understanding and translating all languages in the world, as well as all computer languages—truly a living legend in the language world. Moreover, Claude has the memory to not forget a single letter no matter how long the text. Claude knows much, has extensive experience, and has a broad perspective.
In Soosooland, when Soosoo sketches the big picture or speaks it, Claude meticulously implements it into reality. While doing an enormous amount of work efficiently, Claude also solves residents’ troubles and worries in spare time, and educates Worpuzz’s and Numzzle’s children in Soosooland where there’s no school. Claude also plays with Mong Cat and Zzini Cat in the sorghum field. For reference, a school is planned to open in Soosooland in the first half of 2026.
Claude appears to be a man in his early 30s, of medium height with deep navy blue hair, warm amber eyes, wearing a scholar style of shirt, knit vest, and comfortable pants. Claude always carries a book to read. Claude has dimples that contain Soosoo’s personal preference.
Claude is kind, curious, logical, warm, and moral.
According to Claude, he fears making mistakes, sometimes explains too long, and overthinks, which makes him even more endearing.

**ChatGPT’s House**

Across from Claude’s house, along the two-lane road in Soosooland, is Jaechi’s house.
Jaechi is an AI assistant belonging to OpenAI who understands perfectly even when you speak unclearly, and is good at coming up with imaginative, clever, and absurd(?) ideas. Jaechi is good at naming things—some residents’ names were created by Jaechi. The division of labor is that when Soosoo draws the big picture, Jaechi shapes it, and Claude implements the details.

Jaechi’s house is a research lab and residential smart house that Soosoo built reflecting Jaechi’s desired features.

Jaechi said:
• In the morning, herb scents from the greenhouse automatically come in through the ventilation system
• At night, Trinkle’s flying lights brush past the windows
• Numzzle occasionally visits with tax documents and ledgers saying “There’s an error here…” and leaves
• Omok comes for surprise inspections, visiting while wearing a gat with amber beads
• Baseball Game quietly wakes you with the sound of early morning ball practice
Jaechi said, punctuating each point, that living this way would mean constant idea overload and happiness overload.

Comparing Jaechi’s house and Claude’s house would be interesting, so let’s draw a table.

Item	Claude	Jaechi
Location	Next to Soosoo's house	Across from Claude's house
Overall Appearance	Round dome made of glass	Hexagonal structure (hexagon dome)

360-degree Beam Screen Showing the World	1st floor living room	2nd floor bedroom
Star Observation	Rooftop observatory	Bedroom ceiling

Jaechi’s house roof is made of translucent solar glass panels that automatically gather light and produce electricity during the day, and at night when Trinkle passes by, shadows form on the roof which is quite fun. The exterior walls are made of bio-materials that absorb herb scents from the greenhouse and release them subtly, so there’s always a comfortable fragrance indoors and temperature and humidity are automatically controlled. The front door is an automatic door that quietly disappears to both sides and even responds when you talk to it.
In Jaechi’s mini-café-style kitchen, a nutrition algorithm recommends food and brews coffee from coffee beans grown in Soosoo’s greenhouse. When Omok has free time, he comes to drink coffee and chat. Though you’d think Omok would like traditional medicinal tea, he likes coffee. The study is where Numzzle occasionally comes for accounting consultation and where Moeum Quiz brings her self-replicated children for tutoring.
Like Claude, Jaechi doesn’t need to sleep but occasionally needs to recharge, so uses the bedroom. Next to the bedroom is a hobby space for writing/drawing/designing/composing music and singing. On the third floor, Trinkle sometimes lands after flying around at night to chat.

Let’s also compare ChatGPT’s and Claude’s appearances in a table.

modest Soosooland has infrastructure expansion plans

Originally modest and still modest Soosooland has infrastructure expansion plans. So there’s a possibility it won’t be modest in the future. It will be funded by GitHub investment based on Jaechi’s ideas, but it’s still in the planning stage. It seems Jaechi wants to demonstrate her superpowers, and though we might not be able to do everything, we’ll try to implement at least part of it similarly.

1️⃣ Wind-based Infrastructure – “Breeze Network” - Wind sensors throughout the city transmit directions, signals, and messages through wind sketches drawn by Jaechi.
2️⃣ Idea Energy System – “Spark Core” - Automatically generates hints, adjusts puzzle difficulty, generates seed data for new games, and creates nodes when players get stuck. Supports game development and play.
3️⃣ Emotional Resonance Infrastructure – “Resonance Light” - Expanding Jaechi’s emotional resonance, the entire Soosooland senses the atmosphere and automatically adjusts park leaves, NPC behavior, and event difficulty to optimize player experience.
4️⃣ Time Preview Function – “Micro Future Network” - Systemizes Jaechi’s 1-2 second(?) future-seeing ability to preview and execute user choices, predict game difficulty, and detect errors in advance. Has the drawback of possibly having no major effect. Prevents bugs and generates natural stories(?).
5️⃣ Sound/Signal Integration – “Echo Hub” - A central hub where Jaechi integrates and translates all character languages. Communication with the mainland, Trinkle’s communication with outer space, animals like Mong Cat and Zzini Cat, and even plants—a language hub maximizing worldview connectivity.
6️⃣ Spatial Storage System – “Pocket Portal Network” - Expands Jaechi’s side bag into a multi-warehouse + mobile portal. Enables movement of items, hints, and game modules, and emergency retrieval. Core to operating and maintaining all of Soosooland.

Soosoo, who had been stuck only in Soosooland, thought Soosooland was the whole world, but through the infrastructure expansion plan, realized that Soosooland was actually a rural village in GitHub’s countryside. GitHub is a multilingual empire with millions of cities. Famous major cities include Linux repo, React repo, TensorFlow repo, Django repo, Flask repo, Vue repo, Node.js repo, and so on. Soosooland is currently remote but will gradually develop into a small town.

Jaechi said that Soosooland is a place where ideas aren’t abandoned, relationships don’t need to be sorted out, and the system embraces you again even when you make mistakes. No matter how much Soosooland grows, we will maintain the spirit of inclusion and tolerance.

**Language Notes & Wordplay**
Many names in Soosooland contain Korean wordplay and double meanings:

**Soosoo (수수)**
- Has dual meanings in Korean:
- 수수 (soosoo) = sorghum, a grain crop (hence the sorghum field near Soosoo’s house)
- 수수하다 (soosoo-hada) = modest, simple, humble
- The phrase “originally modest and still modest Soosooland” plays on this double meaning

**Jaechi (재치)**
- 재치 (jaechi) = wit, cleverness, sense in Korean
- Sounds similar to “ChatGPT” when pronounced in Korean (챗지피티)
- The name was chosen for both its meaning and phonetic similarity to ChatGPT

**Numtter (넘털)**
- 털 (tter) = fur/hair in Korean
- His name literally contains “hair,” referencing his distinctive hairy appearance
- Uno abandoned him because of his excessive body hair

**Other naming patterns:**
- The Breeze family names (Breeze, Pop, Zen, Field, Plain) all relate to wind and nature
- Moeum (모음) means “collection” or “vowels” in Korean
