style
ilsung's work clothes are always pressed and pristine - ironed white shirts, pressed pants, shiny shoes and an abundance of thin ties. he's the kind of man who wears cufflinks like they're going out of fashion. he completes these looks with an expensive rolex watch and a pair of sunglasses, even in winter. however, by about 3/4pm his tie is often askew and his neat hairstyle is ed. he has a bad habbit of running his hand through it (either in frustration or to make the ladies swoon). examples; one, two, three, four, five, six

elaboration
ilsung is everyone's friend. literally. he know's everyone's name from that random guy who cleans the toilets to chanyeol's mum. his nature is extremely warm and welcoming (+ his smile helps). he's the kind of person who likes to be surrounded by people, hence why he's a team leader. he has enough charm to rouse the troops and appeal to chanyeol's better nature. where chanyeol is calm and composed, ilsung is loud, irritating and obnoxious; he quite literally brightens up an entire room, constantly shooting off ideas and pitching big powerpoints with annoying word paint drawings and ty clipart in his free time. of course, being such a popular guy has gone straight to ilsung's head. he can come across a little aggorant to some people and though a lot of colleagues have come to find this endearing, some people find him just plain annoying *cough* shiyoon *cough*. ("fancy a quick make out session in the janitors closet, shiyoon?" she looks him up and down slowly, a grimace slowly creeping upon her lips. "you're still gross. get away from me." he'll keep trying though, if only to get a reaction!)
in his work ilsung is a perfectionist at heart, despite all the banter and jokes, he likes to make sure his work is done to the best of his ability (you won't catch him admitting it though!) and has stayed after hours many an occassion to prepare for a big meeting or smash out a spreadsheet for chanyeol. the sales team rely on him almost as much as chanyeol because he's such a dependable guy, though they have to get past the puns and chat-up lines first of course.
ilsung is also the life and soul of any work party - always the first to call "SHOTS!" and demand joonmyeon give him the company credit card. and because he's such a smooth talking prick he somehow always manages to get the credit card. probably also the first one on the dance floor, surrounded by giggling girls that are still too naive to know that he's a terrible flirt and a total f u ck boiiiiiiii
background
such a normal background, literally nothing dramatic or terrible happened to ilsung as he grew up. comes from a family that consists of a dad, a mum and an older brother. he's the youngest so he was spoilt less as a child; he's always been a softie for his mum too, like he buys her all the time and visits his parents often. doesn't see much of his brother any more, though, as he's married and expecting his first child. he is excited to be an uncle tho!!
lifestyle
lives alone in an apartment, renting (aka he still can't afford to buy the place outright despite how much he gets paid - also too busy spending his money on other ). ilsung's apartment is a ing mess and the only time he cleans up is if he's bringing a lady home or if his mum is visiting. his apartment is decked out with a load of modern technology like lights that turn on when you clap (he's still unsure why he invested in that but it never fails to impress guests!!), a large flatscreen tv, the biggest bed he could afford etc. despite having such a nice apartment he doesn't actually spend that much time in it though.

— loves to travel, takes pretentious photos of building and nature and captions them all with cryptic that nobody understands #edgy (still has a bunch of followers tho??)

— his apartment is a wreck, just like his desk
— ilsung considers solji his best friend (aside from chanyeol) and spends most of his lunch breaks with her/drinks with her after work. they started monster inc. at the same time and have been close since. their friendship is very much built on insults and teasing, and solji is the only one who has really seen a softer, more vulnerable side of ilsung
— sol / literally just a shortened down version
— or, solki / because solji has a habit of pulling this sulky face when ilsung says or does anything gross/annoying/weird/just being himself basically

— terrible with technology but still insists on having the latest gadgets
— owns three different cars and alternates them all each week
"how were you hired?"
ilsung literally found this job by accident. he was a broke arse grad student working two jobs and still living in his parent's house. he saw it advertised on a website (well, he saw the pay) and basically applied for it without even considering his lack of experience or degree in that field of work. joonmyeon was apparently impressed with his cover letter, which, custom to ilsung's terrible sense of humour, was riddled with smiley's and bad puns. joonmyeon invited him for an interview and hired him without asking him anything professional aside from "do you lift?"
(it was love at first sight) except now joonmyeon is a little sick of ilsung's love of signing off his emails with an abundance of smiley/winkey faces.
"how's the office life?"
work hard, play hard, right? ilsung makes work fun - not just for himself but for the rest of the department. he's that guy who makes someone else's day a bit more bearable. of course, he spends a good portion of his time ing around and irritating the out of chanyeol, but no matter how long he spends prank calling joonmyeon, disappearing to speak to solji or even hiding in the toilet on his phone (in a bid to beat chanyeol's high score on a game), his work is always up to par and sat on chanyeol's desk come 6pm.
"on coffee runs, what do you get?"
only americano. he will drink it like it's going out of fashion (but don't be fooled, he's got plenty of spearmint gum packets in his pocket so his breath is always fresh till death).
"tell me about your company dinners"
ilsung literally is the party. he's that guy that orders everyone really expensive cocktails and encourages newbies to get totally wrecked (aka a bad influence). he likes to sit in the fray of the dinner table so that all the attention can inevitably be on him, and he has a bad habit of interrupting other people when they're talking (usually joonmyeon). talks with his hands + with food in his mouth - somehow still looks good?? often gets told off by shiyoon half-way through the night:
"stop buying the interns alcohol, idiot."
"just because you're an ice cold biac-"
"one more word and i'm gonna knee you in those precious jewells of yours. actually, maybe i should anyway because lord knows you shouldn't be allowed to reproduce."
ilsung mocks being offended, hand over heart and everything. "oh my god, shiyoon, that was harsh," he smirks, "i know you secretly want a bit of awllll this, though," and shimmies like the idiot she proclaimed.
(she doesn't knee him in the balls but the look he receives is probably worse tbh).
probably the guy who suggests going on to a club or karaoke afterwards. will somehow convince even the grumpiest of people to tag along (it's that winning smile and the promise of joonmyeon's company credit card!!)
"i heard that you're chummy with heo solji, can you tell me more about her?"
"oh, that solki wench?" ilsung says, hiding a smile. "i'm just joking, don't tell her i said that." he adds, holding up his hands in defense as if the interviewee is going to taddle on him. "we started monster inc. at the same time so we've always been pretty close. i'm not entirely sure how but she puts up with me on a daily basis, so i'm thankful she's around. plus," a smile grows on his face. "she's pretty cute when she's annoyed and damn, do i know how to annoy her - you can quote me on that, she definitely won't disagree."
ilsung doesn't know it yet but he's actually pretty much in love with solji. they're best friends who are stumbling over feelings they aren't entirely sure they understand yet. plus, ilsung needs to realise that sleeping with random women isn't making him happy; he's simply filling a space that solji should complete.
comments girl i am so sorry this took so long!! i honestly never thought i'd write so much for this applyfic but here i am!! i'm really looking forward to this fic as i've worked in an office before and boy was it not as much fun as this is turning out to be. thanks for being so kewl and understanding though!! p.s. there may be a few spelling errors etc. because i'm lazy!! sorry!! p.p.s hover over images on the insta for captions
