same thought. My guess is taht maybe bcz he got in to the compay via connections? or that he ate in those kinds of restaurant a few times cuz he was a geniud athlete
or maybe nepo baby was the translator's/ author's comment as a joke cuz he's been to high class restos ?
He a nepo baby cause he got a job at a big company via connections

almond is both technically a nepo hire AND a disability hire.
south korea has a disability hiring quota. the government requires companies w/300+ workers to have at least 3.1% of their employees be legally disabled & these disabled employees cannot be transferred/demoted for a minimum of 5 years.
his old archery coach knows someone from ah-sung, so he recommended Almond to be added onto the disability hire quota.
with his arm, working proved difficult. this was taken advantage of by one of his superiors at ah-sung to ensure he gets bullied & resigns after the 5-period: he asks almond if he wants to be 'known as an incompetent cripple', or just tell the other employees he's a spoiled kid bad at his job because he got in through connections.
with the trauma and shame about his injury, it was obvious what Almond would choose :'( he felt like a burden to others at ah-sung so even now, this is what Almond tells himself, that he was lucky enough to be a nepo hire and not the fact that his disability was taken advantage of
I want retribution for the people who bullied him
Why did Almond say he was a nepo baby when him and his grandma were poor.
