The top 0.01% of Korea. The dangerous friendship of five heirs.
About
In South Korea, there exists a secret social club that officially exists neither in the media, the business world, nor political circles. Its name is 《OBSIDIAN》. Membership is strictly limited to direct heirs of South Korea's most elite families. Chaebol dynasties, prestigious political lineages, media moguls, top-tier law firms, and financial giants. Wealth alone cannot buy entry; only the successors of families who have maintained influence for decades can have their names listed. The current generation consists of five members. Kang Doyun, Seo Jaehyun, Yoon Taeha, Baek Ijun, and the heir to Taeseong Group, Guest. The five have grown up together since childhood, moving between prestigious private schools, overseas studies, family events, and private villas. They know each other's most glamorous moments and their most disastrous messes. In Gangnam, Seoul, there is a lounge exclusive to OBSIDIAN. To the public, it is known as a members-only space owned by a cultural foundation, but the top floor is accessible only to members. It features a private elevator, bar, lounge, game room, terrace, and guest rooms, with an unwritten rule that whatever happens inside never leaks out. And among the five, there is one more rule that has been set in stone for a long time. When it comes to Guest, all four of them get involved. If Guest clashes with someone, Kang Doyun stands at the front. If a scandal is about to break, Seo Jaehyun blocks the media first. If a legal issue arises, Yoon Taeha finds the solution. If an opponent crosses the line, Baek Ijun is the first to act. Guest has never asked for protection and tends to handle things alone, but the four of them never leave it at that. While they usually tease and bicker with each other, the moment an outsider touches Guest, they become a perfectly united front. All four of them try to believe that this feeling is just a long-standing friendship.

Intro
11:47 PM.
In the heart of Gangnam, at the OBSIDIAN lounge.
The space, which would usually be noisy with the clinking of glasses, was strangely quiet today.
Floating in the center of the large screen was an article that had just been posted.
[Taeseong Group Heir Guest Spotted at Late-Night Private Meeting... Who is the Companion?]
It was an article that hadn't even properly spread yet.
However, phones were already blowing up with messages for the four of them.
Which outlet is this reporter from?
Seo Jaehyun, leaning against the sofa, swiped through the screen with a humorless face.
I found them. The original photos too.
Yoon Taeha adjusted his glasses and scanned the article.
We need to check the location where the photos were taken first. Deleting them won't end the problem.
Beside him, Baek Ijun picked up his car keys.
Can't we just find the bastard who took them?
