appearnce.

— guntae is 171cm tall and weighs roughtly 68kg. he has quite some meat on him and works out around 3-4 times a week for 1-2 hours a day. guntae can look a little intiminating at first and because of how straight forward he is he tends to have a authorative and scary vibe even with his harry potter glasses. when guntae smiles though he can end up looking like a youthful carefree boy too. guntae is much to scared of pain and needles to ever get peircing or tattoos.

fashnstle.

— because of his work he is pretty much dress nicely in button up shirts and pants pair up with derby shoes. it's nice, clean, presentable but still casual and comfortable, nothing like tight suits. and then his home or plain going out clothes are just simple tshirts, sweat shirts, with pants or jeans. he doesn't take fashion that seriously.

pErsoNlity.

+ intelligent, loyal, independent, assertive
- cynical, domineering, inconsiderate, stubborn

Guntae is honestly the protagonist with an antagonist personality. He can be sweet and charming but also cynical and domineering, it all naturally depends on how you treat him and how he is feeling the day. He is a very professional sense of a person. Guntae has a very strong personality that is intimindating to a lot of people.  He doesn't hold back his opinions or thoughts. He tends to keep an arm length away from people simply because he doesn't care if they don't benefit him. He is not going to go out of his way to talk to someone who he will never talk to again or someome he would not gain anything from. He has a lot of pride in his work space and with his line of work he has to be more domineering to people. Guntae works hard and is a very stubborn person, he doesn't stop until he gets what he wants.

He does well on his own, from working to just being a homebody. Being a professional he knows when to be respectful and obident to those of higher power but if they are real asses, he does't stop himself from being a smart mouth. however if you've gotten on his good side this man is fairly loyal. He will stand up for his team and take the fault if someone did something wrong. He is really hard on himself when those around him fails because he would feel it is his fault for not guiding them right as well.

because his work life consumes basically 80% of his life he tends to appear more aggressive. towards his family and closer friends he is also pretty close off just more reserve, still a little intiminating, still stubborn, but more soft spoken, and cheery yes he even genuinely smile unlike his smug smirks he does at work.

 

bckground. Guntae is the youngest and second son to his parents. His household was pretty above average but they weren't rich folks. His father is a business professor, his mother a nurse, and his older brother of ten years is a chemist. You can say his childhood and upbringing shaped him into the person he is today. His parents were in their late thirties when they had him both super busy with their own careers and no 15 year old wants to play and hang around with a 5 year old. Guntae was mostly left in mostly his brother care who he typically just gave a book or toy to and went inside his own bedroom. Just being alone all the time made him realize he honestly didn't need to make friends to get by in life thus throughout his school life he hadly made friends, he just studied or read books on his own only making 1 or 2 really good friends who enjoy the same thing as he did.

In college he originally studied towards medicine just to show off a little to gain some attention from his parents but soon he was over the idea and enter into journalism to piss off his parents but he also took a interet in since he was young reading newspaper on his own.

Currently he is living with his fiance in a apartment down in Gangnam-gu district. He is a senior reporter now for The Korea Times.

his father was a very typical cons\ervative asian father who left taking care of the kids to the mother. the two never had a close bond and there had always been this hierarchy lifestyle between them. guntae unlike his older brother who was the obident golden son, he talked back more and often got into arguements with his father when he was in highschool and college. they stopped talking with eachother now for almost 6 years now.
 

— mother : kim minhee / 66 / retire nurse / soft spoken, respectable, kind, friendly

although she had always been busy with work and the two are also not that close they at least still speak to one another and care for one another. she knows her fault and tries to make up for it now that she is retire. she visit him about once a week bringing him food and just checking up. there is plently of awkward silences between the two but when parting they always hug and kiss on the cheek.
 

— older brother : lee youngtae / 41 / chemist / outgoing, charming, caring, outspoken

everysince guntae was young he began being more hostile towards his brother due to jealousy. he was always praised and boast about. his is always a smart mouth towards youngtae while youngtae always tried to befriend him and guide him now that he is older. he also knows his fault of pushing guntae aside when they were younger. the brother always ends up argueing because of guntae's smart mouth since youngtae doesn't like taking that crap from him.


 

— best friend : kang kiyoung / 34 / reporter(coworker) / loud, friendly, silly, sincere

the only real close friend guntae could rely on. they met in high school and guntae was actually annoyed with this kid at first but he was persistent and they soon because friends whiles bonding over trivial facts and history. kiyoung can tell whats going on in guntae's head with just one look. they two bicker a lot over petty things but has a strong bromance going on as well.

"I WISH i could get inside her head and see what and how she's feeling!"

guntae's wish was out of impulse because he was frustrated and angry

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WISHES?

— wishes to guntae are pointless. he is practical and an action taker therefor he believes wishes are just for lazy people who uses it as an excuse not to get things done.

wishlist.

— none at the moment
