Early years
Ahri Espeeyeeseetee, or "AE", immigrated to the United States from South Korea in May 2020. His parents, Ian and Ahri Ian, were refugees of North Korea, traversing underneath the DMZ to Seoul some time early 2008. AE was born later that year, into hardship and misfortune, his parents unable to find employment in their new country. His father was deported August 2019 for attempting to smuggle other members of the Espeeyeeseetee family out of North Korea (Aye and Ian Tiaro). AE and his mother went to the United States after news the rest of their family had been disappeared, soon settling in the suburbs of Southern Pennsylvania. AE's distraught mother died January 1, 2022, just after AE's 12th birthday. Ahri Espeeyeeseetee found solace from his mother's death in the game of football, often spending late nights catching footballs from a jug machine. It was one such night AE was found by a St. Joseph's Prepatory School scout, who recruited AE for a full ride in their program.
