As I have the basics laid out mentally (typing them up is another story...), I wanted to see what I could get in the way of lines. This is Baek Jin-Hwan, 22 years old, former trainee for far too many years than he ever wants to admit without actually debuting-turned-college student/hotel front desk clerk. He was born and raised for a short while in Daejeon where his father was a political scientist and his mother primarily took care of the home until, following some parental strife that resulted in a divorce, he and his mother moved to Seoul. The details of it all aren't something he is privy too nor was there much time to be concerned with it when he started training to become Seoul's Next Top
Model Idol. For years, he ground it out given financial support from his father (his way of "being there"), splitting studies with training, growing increasingly frustrated whenever he was passed up for debut until things finally dropped off during his late teens. Feeling like he outright wasted his time, he took to his mandatory military service once he was out of high school in an effort to clean his slate, returning to civilian life after as a mild-mannered and far less glamorous college student, studying liberal arts since he can't decide what he wants to do with his life. He tends to keep detailed recollections of his former struggles to himself, doesn't entertain putting his talents to good use much, and nearly avoids it entirely save for writing songs and playing music with a very slim amount of people. He'd much rather attempt to keep it behind him as much as possible, but that doesn't mean he won't face the music to support his friends still powering through the industry somehow.
You can see all his lines
here rather than have me ramble on. I'd love to get
a roommate for him, fellow ex-trainees or connections to the entertainment industry, cousins, military peers, his first legit attempt at a relationship that wasn't long distance that crashed and burned somehow, people to secretly heart eye like the mouse he is, childhood friends he lost contact with thanks to his grueling schedule, people to smack him out of his Gemini mood swings, co-workers at the Chosun Hotel where he works as a front desk clerk, and anything else we can think of.
