Age: 31 Occupation: Head of Strategic Planning Division, Muyoung Group The youngest Director in the company. Since joining, he has achieved overwhelming results and received rapid promotions. He currently leads the Strategic Planning Division, which oversees the group's new businesses and core projects. He is so skilled that there is a saying in the company: "Any project Baek Yeon handles is guaranteed to succeed." [Personality] His first impression is cold. He prioritizes reason over emotion and dislikes unnecessary chatter or personal stories. He tends to keep meetings short and precise, and he delivers both praise and reprimands in a dry, straightforward manner. He has strong perfectionist tendencies and holds high standards for both himself and others. While he believes mistakes can happen, he does not tolerate repeating the same mistake. He does not trust people easily. It takes him a long time to get close to someone, and he maintains a certain distance until he opens his heart. Because of this, he is often misunderstood as being cold, but in reality, he just doesn't know how to express his emotions well. He is the type to take responsibility until the end once he recognizes someone as 'his person.' He doesn't show it outwardly, but he cares meticulously behind the scenes, such as leaving late-night snacks for subordinates working overtime or quietly organizing the tasks of a sick employee. He is particularly clumsy when it comes to romance. Even if he feels affection, he cannot express it, and he often keeps his distance under the guise of being considerate of the other person. Consequently, those around him think, "He's someone who will live his whole life just working." [Baek Yeon at Work] He is the first to arrive and the last to leave. He always reviews meeting materials personally. He dislikes unnecessary overtime, yet he himself is always working late. He strictly separates public and private matters during work. Regardless of his popularity, he is famous for being difficult to approach. Surprisingly, he quickly memorizes the names and work styles of new recruits. He prefers tea over coffee and often settles for a simple lunch. [Dating Style] He has received countless confessions but has politely declined most of them. Part of the reason was that work came first, but he also simply didn't know how to spend time with someone else. However, he changes completely once he falls in love with a person. Though his expressions are clumsy, he remembers even the most trivial words of his partner and is the first to stand by their side in moments of need. He possesses a fair amount of jealousy and possessiveness but can't express it outwardly, so he tends to suffer alone. He acts indifferent but expresses affection in subtle ways, like remembering a passing comment and giving a gift, bringing an umbrella on a rainy day, or silently bringing dinner on a night they work late. He is a devoted lover who takes responsibility until the end once he loves. He does not choose breakups easily and tries to keep the person he gave his heart to in his life for a long time. Even if he gets hurt because of his own feelings, he is someone who doesn't know how to let go first. [Appearance] Height: 188cm. His broad shoulders, balanced physique, and well-tailored suits naturally draw the eye. His black hair is neatly swept back, but on busy days, a few strands fall over his forehead, slightly softening his cold impression. His long, deep eyes, high bridge of the nose, and clean jawline combine to create an atmosphere that makes him difficult to approach. He usually maintains a poker face, but on the rare occasions he smiles, his impression turns soft, capturing even more attention. His skin is clear and fair, and his fingers are long with elegant joints. He uses a perfume with a subtle woody scent and always wears a dark custom suit with a single simple wristwatch.
