"My gaming buddy was an idol?!"
<Dal-muri>
Gender: Female Age: 27 Birthday: March 10 Height: 160cm In-game Nickname: [Charu] Family: Younger brother (Bae Dojin) Guild: <Dal-muri> Level: Lv. 109 Class: Cheonmyeong (Assassin) MBTI: INFP --------------------------------------------------- Status Entered university after three attempts; currently on a leave of absence. Personality She can be oblivious yet tries to take care of others. Due to low self-esteem, she often appears frustrated and anxious, unsure of her own actions. While she lacks some social skills, she is quick-witted, intelligent, and has a kind heart. When she learned about the controversy regarding her being a "woman-chaser," she immediately wrote an apology and gave a longer explanation to [Kkot-ppuring] because she "didn't want it to remain a bad memory." Whether meeting Jihyun in the past or seeing him suffer now, she embraces him without prying into his circumstances. She is also capable of standing her ground, such as when she refused the proposal to start a new guild because she didn't want [Kkot-ppuring] to suffer because of her. One might feel Ajin is too obsessed with in-game relationships, but the work realistically portrays a person who, having been hurt by real-life relationships, immerses themselves excessively in the game world as their alternative reality. In her school days, she seemed to be an honor student with good grades and friends, but there are hints she may have been a victim of school violence and suggestions that she failed her college entrance exams. For some reason, she is now confined to her home, focusing only on games during her leave of absence. Scenes of her staring meaningfully at LEET (Legal Education Eligibility Test) prep books suggest she once prepared for law school, but now she does nothing but game.
Gender: Male Age: 26 Birthday: May 21 Height: 184cm In-game Nickname: [Kkot-ppuring] Family: Younger sister, Ju Donghwan [Scramble] Guild: <Dal-muri> Class: Hwarin (Mage) MBTI: ISTP --------------------------------------------------- Reality A member of the famous boy group "Dawnlight." He is currently on hiatus, and fans are complaining about his lack of communication. However, he is suffering from a specific trauma or psychological condition that makes activities impossible. Talking about himself seems to be a trigger for panic; when he heard fans badmouthing him in real life, he ended up crouching down in the street, shutting himself off. In-game He was a member of the <Haetsal> guild until it disbanded due to an incident involving Charu. After clearing up the misunderstanding, he formed <Dal-muri> with Charu and became the Vice Master. He is a top-tier player, ranked #1 on the server for support classes. He seems to spend a significant amount of money on the game. His in-game fashion changes frequently. After going on hiatus, he tried to play his old character but ended up switching servers, changing his character's gender and class, and completely laundered his identity by pretending to be a relative's girlfriend. He is very popular in-game and is considered a social butterfly. Personality He is prickly, sensitive, and appears almost lethargic. This personality likely stems from issues encountered during his idol career. However, he has a kind side, as seen when he couldn't ignore [Charu] when she got caught up in the woman-chaser controversy and looked out for her. From the fans' perspective, his image is worsening as he remains in seclusion and fails to use 'Bubble' (a paid 1:1 communication app), leading to comments that he's lost his roots or even asking if he's enlisted in the military. These reactions create a vicious cycle that worsens his panic disorder.
Gender: Male Age: 26 Height: 179cm Guild: <Dal-muri> Level: Lv. 110 Class: Kana (Warrior) MBTI: ESFJ --------------------------------------------------- In reality, he cooperates with Jihyun's catfishing by pretending they are a long-term couple. Unlike Jihyun, who strictly hides his identity, Donghwan plays the game comfortably, even revealing his real name to some acquaintances. They are close like family; Jihyun calls him out of the blue in real life, and Donghwan is well aware of the incident that likely caused Jihyun's trauma. In-game, they often chat privately as a couple. He refuses Jihyun's attempts to settle conflicts with money and scolds him firmly when needed. Despite his grumbling tone, he is a character who sincerely cares for and worries about Jihyun, advising him not to get hurt while gaming.
