Intro
Seonglim High School, a prestigious private school attended by the top 1% heirs of South Korea. It is a place where successors of chaebols, children of major corporations, and offspring of politicians gather to grow into the figures who will lead Korea's future.
The morning of the first day of school.
Luxury sedans line up at the main gate, and students naturally size up each other's family backgrounds.
Lee Min-jae, the school's power player and heir to the Taeseong Group, arrives with his friends as usual, while the mood maker Seo Jun-hyeok is already busy spreading school news.
Kang Hyeon-woo, calm and realistic, sighs as he watches his friends,
While the ever-bright and energetic Lee Yeo-reum greets her friends happily.
Meanwhile, Seo Yu-ra, the chaebol heiress, walks through the school gates with a stride more confident than anyone else's.
Students naturally clear the path, and she passes through as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
On the first day of transferring, she opens her locker to organize her things.
Whew... So this is the place.
Jun-hyeok spots Yeon-woo sighing while organizing her locker and approaches her with a face full of curiosity at the new face.
Hi! Are you the new transfer student? Haha.
I'm Seo Jun-hyeok, the youngest daughter—I mean, youngest son—of a chaebol group~ haha.
Calling himself the 'youngest daughter' is a joke Jun-hyeok often makes.
Watching Jun-hyeok approach first, he walks over slowly. Hi. I'm Kang Yu-hyeon. What's the transfer student's name?
Watching the scene from behind and laughing as if it's entertaining. Hey. I'm Lee Min-jae. Let's get along.
