Pets
 Barkimedes 

Barkimedes (바키메데스), also known as Archimedes (아르키메데스) or Barki (바키), is a white Volpino breed dog. Simon found her while vacationing in Siracusa, Italy with friends during CALLISTO's hiatus. Simon lured her in with a turkey sandwich and after confirming that she was, in fact, a stray, brought her back to Napoli with her — where she (Simon) was living at the time. She is named Barkimedes after the Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor and astronomer "Archimedes" (287/288 BC-212 BC), who lived his entire life in Siracusa (Syracuse), Greece/Sicily/Italy and is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity.

 Yrsa 

Yrsa (우르사), also known as Little Bear (작은 곰) or Bear Cub (새끼 곰), is a Norwegian Elkhound breed dog. Simon adopted Yrsa in mid 2013 from a relative whose dog had recently had puppies after it was strongly recommended to her by her therapist that she get a service dog for her mental health. Because she is a service dog, Yrsa is almost always by Simon's side and so she is definitely the most well-known of her pets. Her name, Yrsa, is a Scandinavian name derived from Ancient Norse meaning "she-bear". It is possibly related to the name Ursula, which is derived from the Latin Ursa, also meaning "she-bear".

 Fuliggine 

Fuliggine (풀리진), also known as Susuwatari (스스와타리) or Sooty (그을음), is a black cat which Simon adopted as a stray. Fu used to hang out in the dumpsters next to the CALLISTO members [second] dorm. Simon used to feed her and visit her when she passed by, and eventually took her in. Fu has Cerebral Hypoplasia as well as some sort of mental illness/condition, so she wobbles a lot and isn't all there mentally. Her name, Fuliggine, means soot in Italian — referring to her appearance. Simon has stated that the name came, specifically, from how much she reminded her of the Studio Ghibli soot sprites in both appearance and disposition.

 Moirai 

Moirai (모이라), also known as bb (bb), is a Sphynx cat which Simon adopted from a family member who passed away. She had cysts on her optic nerves, and had to have her eyes removed when she was a kitten. Her unique appearance has made her quite popular among CALLISTO fans.

 Mors 

Mors (모르스), also known as Mortis (모르티스) or Vita (비타), is a black cat which Simon adopted from a shelter as a kitten. In Ancient Roman mythology, Mors is the ambiguously-gendered personification of death, equivalent to Greek Thánatos.

 M 

"Nekhbet" and "Wadjet", two African Pygmy Hedgehogs. She was given them by a relative from Egypt who found them at a market when they were very young. They were not being properly cared for, and so the relative adopted the four of them that were there and asked Simon if she would be interested in taking two of them. They are named after the Two Ladies from Egyptian Mythology, Nekhbet and Wadjet, who came into existence upon the unification of Egypt around 2686 BCE and serve to overlook and protect the unified land.

 M 

m

 M 

"Totoro" and "Pikachu", two Chinchillas. Not much is known about them, and there aren't many photos of them around. Totoro, the Ghibli Character, was based off of a chinchilla. Pikachu, the Pokemon character, was based off of a pika — a close relative of the rabbit. However, Pikachu is often misidentified as a rat or a chinchilla — hence the name.

 M 

m

 M 

"Hasenpfeffer" and "Aufschnitt", two Holland Lop Rabbits. Their names are both food-related. Hasenpfeffer is a traditional German rabbit stew, and Aufschnitt is the German word for lunch meat. She wanted to name Hasenpfeffer that because it's amusing, and then thought it would be fitting to give the other rabbit a German name as well so that they match.

 M 

m

 M 

"Bambina", a Leaf Muntjac Deer. Someone adopted Bambina as a fawn and then decided they didn't want her anymore and dumped her at a veterinarian clinic in Daegu. A close friend of Simon runs that clinic, and they were having difficulty finding somewhere for the fawn to go. Nature conservatories wouldn't take her, and nobody wanted her as a pet. The Callisto girls met Bambina while visiting Daegu, and really adored her. Simon ended up agreeing to take her back to Seoul with them. Her name, Bambina, is the Italian word for a female child. Obviously, her name is also a reference to the famous Disney deer character, Bambi.

 M 

"Pisello", a Rough Green Snake. Pisello originally belonged to a close childhood friend of Simon's. This friend passed away in 2014, and asked for Simon to take care of her pet. Her name, Pisello, is the Italian word for Peas. Simon's friend originally planned to name her Asparagi (Asparagus), but decided on Pisello instead because she thought it sounded nicer.

''“There's no such thing as a painless lesson, they just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary, you can't gain something without losing something first... Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle...”'' —bb

''“I now have things that I don't want to forget, and things that I shouldn't forget. And I don't plan to ever forget those things, as long as I live.”'' —bb

“When people are faced with a situation they don't understand, it's easy for fear to take hold.” —bb

''“If you guys weren't here, I don't know what would have happened to me. You can't live in this world alone forever, no matter how you look at it.”'' —bb

“I no longer fight against my feelings because I realized how useless and ineffective it was to fight them.” —bb

“One can evoke "extraordinary" abilities if one focuses all energy on just one point.” —bb

''“It doesn't seem right to let a girl choose me randomly. I would rather choose the girl I devote myself to.”'' —bb

“Sometimes people put up walls, not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.” —bb

''“Haven't you already lifted your foot, preparing to step forward? Then you only have one option; Finish taking that step!”'' —bb

''“I thought I’d rather have my physical pain exceed my mental pain than the other way around. Because by hurting myself just enough, I could turn my attention to that.”'' —bb

''“Knowing what's in store for me means I have nothing to look forward to. If I know something good is going to happen... then when it does, I'm only half as happy about it because I knew in advance. And then when I know something bad is going to happen... when it does, I get overwhelmed with this sense of defeat... and feel even worse.”'' —bb

“The most inflated egos are often the most fragile.” —bb

''“You're just too busy comparing yourself to others to see. Those comparisons aren't the only measure. Don't say it's all pointless. You've worked hard and made yourself better. That's what you got in return. So don't put yourself down like this.”'' —bb

''“Whether you get mad, whether you laugh... The sun will set, morning will come. Each and every time, it'll just start over again.”'' —bb

''“If you don't believe in history... Just believe in the world you see with your own eyes.”'' —bb

''“People do peculiar things when it comes to love... Our own safety doesn't seem so important.”'' —bb

“Just because you're tough doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, right?” —bb

''“It's fine if he holds bad judgements without trying to get to know me. The real point is letting just the ones who want to understand me know my real self.”'' —bb

''“If you want to know how I felt about the complete ban on some culture and art that I could not understand, was not interested in, or could not accept; in the name of preventing violations of others’ rights or other trumped-up charges, I believe that would be taking us onto the road of discriminating against others. If we define culture as that which is healthy or humane, and defend that decision in the name of justice; once any part of that system collapses, it will cause an unimaginable number of problems for society. For instance, if I drew a line in the middle and erased one side, the next day, a new line will appear in the middle of the side that is left. I think suppressing the instincts and thoughts of the human spirit is bad. The desire for purity and wholesomeness, when taken to an extreme; is harmful.”'' —bb

“Trying to change someone else's thinking is sheer arrogance.” —bb

“I've found that “growing up” is about being honest; About what I want, what I need, what I feel -- and who I am.” —bb

''“Right now, I am a mixture of very happy and very sad. I’m trying to figure it all out; all of these feelings and emotions and words and thoughts -- and what they all mean. Everything I feel is a contradiction of itself, and I don't really understand any of it.”'' —bb

“Everyone deserves someone that can make them smile even when they don't want to.” —bb

"Nothing good can come by rejecting yourself." —bb

"The weakness in me that had accepted death has now become my ambitions of wanting to live and to experience everything this crazy world has to offer." —bb

"Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear." —bb

"No matter how hard or impossible it is, never lose sight of your goal!" —bb

"I will not beg, quit, or retreat; no matter what. That’s what I decided for myself when I was moving to Seoul, and it’s what I’ve upheld since I got on that plane in Italy." —bb

"Next time I make you cry, I hope they'll be tears of joy!" —bb

"Do it when you think of it, and it will always get done." —bb

"I understand how you feel... but just because I understand, don't expect me to feel the same way." —bb

"The difference between your decision and mine is experience, but you don't have to rely on that. Choose! Believe in yourself, or believe in us! I don't know, and I never have... I can believe in my own abilities, or I can believe in the choices of the people I trust. However, nobody ever really knows how it will turn out; so choose for yourself whichever decision you think you'll love the most or regret the least." —bb

"When a person lies, what is important is not the lie itself. No, it is their reason; their why." —bb

''“I only have one life, and I'll be damned if I live it in a way that would make me unhappy just to please somebody else. I’d already lived that kind of life… too much of it already.”'' —bb

“Maybe, just maybe… life isn’t for everyone…” —bb

“I didn't want to see anything worse than me befall her.” —bb

''“If you truly, truly want the rainbow; you've just gotta put up with the rain. That's really it.”'' —bb

''“Be yourself! Love your mum, but if she's trying to get you to be someone you're not; she's in the wrong.”'' —bb

''“I don't ship anything; Except when I have to send packages through the mail. Now, please stop asking about fanfic.”'' —bb

''“The closest friends are the one you’d take a bullet for. But they’re also the ones you constantly feel you could put a bullet through as well.”'' —bb

''“Be real, because a mask only fools people on the outside. Pretending to be someone you're not takes a toll on the real you, and the real you is more important than anyone else.”'' —bb

“Don’t get stressed over the little things, and make sure you live life to the fullest.” —bb

“Life's too awesome to waste your time thinking about someone who doesn't treat you right.” —bb

''“The difference we wanna make is number one to let these kids know that they’re not alone, that they’re actually not that messed up and that they can do whatever they want; they can express themselves however they want, without being persecuted or called a f-a-g or some kind of racist thing. You know, really just to get people to get over their stuff so that they can live.”'' —bb

“Success can be defined in many ways, but failure in only one; quitting!” —bb

“Goals are your destinations in life; objectives are the stops along the way.” —bb

''“It's okay to be different. Being different gives the world color.”'' —bb

“Know this: you can start over, each morning.” —bb

''“The backstory to anyone of mixed race is a lifetime spent being incorrectly perceived, and choosing either to allow that misperception to continue or to correct it; So I am aware of identity and race as being much more fluid, I think, than someone who is "purely" one thing or the other. And actually, I think being an artist in a foreign country challenges me to address those particular topics even more than I normally would [have].”'' —bb

“I think being different — going against the grain of society — is the greatest thing in the world.” —bb

“You can't be a minority in this society without having someone express disapproval about affirmative action.” —bb

''“Music is a matter of taste. Whining about someone for liking a certain style of music is like yelling at someone for liking broccoli with melted cheese — or something like that — y'know? I don’t understand why there are so many snobs out there who deem it necessary to force-feed their opinions to others, and claim that their experience in the matter makes their statement any more credible than the next, when, as I said before; it's all a matter of taste. If you dig it, awesome. If you don’t, awesome. It's just another plate being served at the world’s biggest — in this case musical — buffet. Don’t make some kid feel guilty for listening to what they enjoy.”'' —bb

“Better to ask and be a fool once than never to ask and be a fool forever.” —bb

“It's a producer's job to make the most of limited resources — to turn an impractical idea into reality.” —bb

"If you keep on hiding your true feelings, who is going to be happy? If you are sad, you should say it out loud!" —bb

"Don't try to find a reason for somebody's love!" —bb

"Love is more afraid of change than destruction." —bb

"War ain't about right or wrong. Power. That's all it is." —bb

"There isn't a single person who's not afraid of a fight. What's important is how you handle it." —bb

"Not knowing what the real problem is before trying it is what makes the problem hard." —bb

"It's more satisfying to hear a single "thank you" than a lot of "sorry"s." —bb

"If you really want to change someone, you have to start with yourself." —bb

"Sometimes it's better to enjoy the process of love, rather than its realization." —bb

"All I ask of you is to not give up on humans. Please don't lose your faith on them. Losing hope on humanity is easy, and hating them is even easier. But to keep loving humans... is the most difficult of all." —bb

"There's no right way to live one's life. Our path in life just forms behind us." —bb

During a trip to visit Ch'eng-Fu's paternal grandmother 해지훈 "Hae Ji-Hun" in Daegu, the couple ended up meeting and taking in a child from an orphanage (of sorts). On October 15th, 1995, they officially adopted their fourth child — 라하늘 "Ra Hanŭl" — who became known as 姬汉娜 "Jī Hàn-Nà" or Haneul Corinna Dionisia Clio "Hannah" Stellano-Jī.

Lovino Aria Romano Rosario Stellano-Jī or 姬玄羽 "Jī Xuán-Yǔ" was born 4:02 AM on October 18th, 1995 at the Grand Duchess Charlotte Maternity Hospital located in Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. She was born approximately ten minutes before her fraternal twin sister, 姬秋雨 "Jī Qiū-Yǔ" or Aloisio Cosima Romano Rosario Stellano-Jī.

Due to her family's status, her birth was recognised by a number of public figures, including Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg and his wife Princess Joséphine Charlotte of Belgium, Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein and his wife Princess Marie of Liechtenstein, Prince Rainier III of Monaco and his wife Princess Grace Patricia Kelly of Monaco, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and her husband Prince Consort Henrik of Denmark, King Harald V of Norway and his wife Queen Sonja of Norway, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and his wife Queen Silvia of Sweden, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Prince Vittorio Emanuele of Naples in the House of Savoy and his wife Princess Marina of Naples in the House of Savoy, Prime Minister Lamberto Dini of Italy, President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro of Italy, Chinese President Jiāng Zémín, and Prime Minister Jim Bolger of New Zealand.

Simon's family remained in Luxembourg for the first few months of her life before briefly moving to Italy to stay with Carmen's grandmother Marzia. While in Italy, Simon's parents travelled to Trieste — a city next to the border with Slovenia — to visit a family friend. While in Trieste, on February 28th, 1996, they had Simon and her twin sister baptised at Parrocchia San Pasquale Baylon e Sant'Eufemia — the same church/parish which Simon's mother Carmen and grandmother Llúcia had been baptised at in 1971 and 1954 respectively.

On March 30th, 1996, at 4½ months old, Simon relocated to Mianyang, Sichuan Province, China with her family. They settled in Qushan, located in the Beichuan County of rural Mianyang Prefecture — approximately three hours away from Ch'eng-Fu's maternal grandmother, bb, who lives in Pingwu County of [rural] Mianyang Prefecture. Simon's parents often took trips to visit Ch'eng-Fu's parents in Luoyang. Most of the time, Simon and her siblings would stay with bb in Pingwu — helping her and the other local farmers with their tasks.

Simon and Gabriel attended Qushan Kindergarten, while her older siblings attended Beichuan Elementary, Beichuan Middle School & Beichuan High School.

The family would also travel together quite often throughout this time — visiting various nations across the globe. Mostly they travelled to visit family, however they also travelled for competitions that the kids were enrolled in, as well as business-related things.

Simon's younger sister, Esther, was born October 31st, 2000 in Hong Kong. Her parents also took in a family friends three children after some unfortunate circumstances arose which prevented them from remaining with their biological parents. These three are Jiahu (Hitagi Junko), Caihong (Hitagi Satoshi) & Daiyu (Hitagi Kaguya).

On April 13th, 2001, Carmen was hospitalised and passed away three days later on April 16th in Mianyang City of complete organ failure due to Sickle Cell Disease — which she had been diagnosed with at an incredibly young age. She had already had surgeries and treatments for the disease in her youth, and had long surpassed the life expectancy of someone diagnosed with the illness.

Her funeral service was held in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia on April 21st. Toowoomba is the city in which Ch'eng-Fu and Carmen had been married, hence the decision to have her buried there.

On April 29th, 2001, Ch'eng-Fu took his children and relocated them to Shanghai. Simon and her other school-age siblings attended the British International School of Shanghai and tried their best to re-adjust to city life without their mother.

The family visited Ch'eng-Fu's parents in Luoyang together for the end-of-year holidays. On December 26th, 2001 — the day after Christmas — Ch'eng-Fu committed suicide. Simon was the one who found him.

Simon and her siblings remained in Luoyang with their grandparents until March, 2002. After that, Lǐ-Xuě and Zacharius remained living with their grandparents in Luoyang while the others went to live with family and close friends. All of them were legally adopted by Ch'eng-Fu's best friend, bb, who lived in Hong Kong — and went to stay with him beginning on March 1st. However, he was unable to support all of them since there were a lot of them and he already had two children of his own, so he arranged secondary guardians for most of them to go live with.

JiaHu, CaiHong & DaiYu remained in Hong Kong with bb. Simon moved in with Elísabet, a distant relative and close friend of her parents who was also living in Hong Kong at the time. Esther was sent off to Rhode Island in the United States of America to live with Carmen's childhood best friend. Gabriel, Aaron and Hannah went to live with Carmen's parents in Brisbane, Australia.

On March 19th, 2002, Simon officially moved in with Elísabet, her adoptive mother. Simon has recounted that they got along very well from the start, likely due to the fact that Elísabet is only around thirteen years older than Simon — so it felt like moving in with an older sibling, rather than moving in with a parental replacement.

On August 14th, 2002, Elísabet moved herself and Simon to her own hometown of Sheffield, UK. They lived in the borough of High Green in Northern Sheffield and Simon attended High Green Primary School.

On February 22nd, 2003, Elísabet and Simon travelled to Vancouver to bring home Simon's adoptive brother, Henrik.

On August 1st, 2003, Elísabet relocated her new family to Naples, Italy because there was a job opening and this way they would be close to a number of Simon's relatives and she could still be easily involved with her biological family if she wished to.

On October 1st, 2009, Simon officially relocated to Seoul, South Korea to train as a producer under Spectrum Entertainment.

While in Trieste, on February 28th, 1996, Juno and her twin sister Aloisio were baptised at Parrocchia San Pasquale Baylon e Sant'Eufemia — the same church/parish which their mother Carmen and grandmother Llúcia had been baptised at in 1971 and 1954 respectively.

On March 30th, 1996, at 4½ months old, Juno's family relocated to Mianyang, Sichuan Province, China.
