So you see this "OC" around... For example, Characters: OC + SHINee, and you ask yourself if this OC is another K-Pop Idol Group you don't know of. Well, let me tell ya.

OC or ORIGINAL CHARACTER.

- refers to a character created by the author that is featured prominently in the story. May be male or female, and either a major or minor character in comparison to the other characters.

fact! Here in AFF, most authors use the image of an "Ulzzang" to portray their OC, or if not, another artist. So if you keep on searching a "No Haebin" or "Hwang Moon Ri" on the net and couldn't find one, maybe it's an OC!
