IN DEPTH:

kang-joon is a tall slender conventionally attractive male with gorgeous dark brown, borderline black, hair that reach his shoulders and frame his face softly. he has a soft look, yet it is still somewhat intense at the same time. he uselessly tends to be mostly expressionless, having a bit of a resting bitch face.since a young age, he'd always had issues with weight due to depression and found himself binge eating whenever he felt shunned. though, once he went through his 'transformation', he began working out 4 times a week and changing his diet, getting into physically intensive hobbies such as dance and running. even just after a few months of hard work, he easily came to a good weight and continues to manage it well. his body is decently muscular, somewhat defined but nowhere nearly being overboard. he now has a healthy relationship with food and his body.his clothing style is mostly centered around casual clothing mixed with tech-wear. he keeps the colours of his clothing quite monotone and muted, since he doesn't particularly like clothes that stand out too much and finds that his looks do plenty of that on their own.

kang-joon is an extremely intelligent, shrewd yet charming individual. he's a blunt person who always speaks his truth but easily explains things away and never making things end up in a bad way. his gorgeous looks matched his words, that came out smoothly in a soft tone that easily manipulated his target. when it comes to people he cares about, kang-joon is genuinely caring and very very affectionate. it's very obvious when he's fallen for someone, his normal nature is very flirty in general but when it comes to a certain person, it's very noticeable.kang-joon is also a diagnosed psychopath but is very good at hiding this with that charming nature of his. during his time of 'transformation' into the person he became, he learned how to show emotions like other people, studying peoples expressions in the mirror for hours on end in order to be like others.

during his entire childhood, kang-joon experienced his parents turbulent relationship which greatly impacted him, turning him into the person he is today. his father always ordered his mother and himself around, but never his younger sister - who was seen of the angel of the family who did no wrong. even though kang-joon and his mother were both on the same receiving end from the father, his mother continuously looked down upon him in order to attempt to please her husband.kang-joon was the outcast of the family and it didn't end even once entering school. he was disliked, labelled 'weird' all through his younger life for being emotionless and having such a blank face all the time, which was much different to the other kids his age. as he grew older, he wanted to be liked- to fit in. he started looking online, reading books and doing all he could to prepare for high school, where he planned to no longer be just kid in the back or the outcast, and perhaps - be something more to his family. he learned to become more charming, those manipulation tactics starting out as a survival or competitive instinct for self-preservation but quickly became a pathological act of exploitation.once entering high school, he quickly became the most liked by many students. feeling all this positivity. although kang-joon was extremely intelligent, now well liked and such, nothing changed his home situation. no matter what he did, it was fruitless. naturally, with this treatment going on for long, it was impacting him more and more, growing worse and creating a festering hatred against his family. kang-joon moved out once he legally could at 16, finding a cheap apartment that he paid off with a part-time cafe job that was barely enough to sustain him along with the essentials.
kang-joon's childhood greatly impacted who he became in present day, adapting his father's attributes as a master manipulator.
