his dad is a really genius tech engineer and his mom is a former actress who retired to follow her husband to the us.

so yeah! he’s an actor primarily because of his mom. he and a lotta people like to think he’s got the talent too, but connections takes you places. just throwing it out there!

his secret? “stole his siblings significant other.” just to keep with the brand, ya know? naturally, this would mean he has a sibling! one younger brother by the name of ryu yong (someone please please be his brother it’ll be fun ABEG)

anyway, they move to south korea because his dad got this really big promotion. the company he worked at planned to expand their tech empire and, well, now his dad leads it!

now that all the family stuff is out of the way! hyuck is on the extreeeeeme spectrum of extroverts. if we were to compare him to an animal, he’d probably be a (giant) puppy, always very excited. that’s why he doesn’t really seem like the type to do any wrong.

since he was extremely friendly, he got along with people well. his dad kind of saw this as his biggest asset so as a kid, he was the favorite son. very very spoiled too.

he likes the attention! very much born to become a star!

however what seemed like a harmless little thing grew and grew into greed, so now he can’t stand not being the center of attention, which ultimately led him to collecting girls (and eventually, boys) like funko pops.

a little something about his secret: of course he hates hates hates how he’s being compared to his brother. to him that’s equivalent to not being the center of attention. at the time, his brother had this blooming relationship with a classmate (he seemed real whipped). to distract him, he swoops in and tries to steal the girl, and actually steals her. very petty reason? yeah, cause he’s naturally petty LOL.

his status as an actor right now: he’s one of the biggest rising star known for his face and physique. he started out modelling too, so he was a very familiar face to many.

he’s not actually scared of his secret being exposed, per se. he’s more scared of his past (and present) as a player and an iljin being exposed. very harmful to his career!!!

well, i think that’s it for now! any questions can be directed to me if i ever left out a detail. i know the available plots i’ve prepared are kindaaaa very restricted to his skeleton, but we’re flexible here! brainstorming is welcomed. so in case, here’s some facts??? that might be useful to plotting. (tw: underage drinking, smoking, drugs)

more guys and gals he’s given emotional trauma to, cause he’s an asshole

he’s biiiiig on parties. always present even during high school. drinks? yeah. smokes? yeah. drugs? sometimes.

some basketball friends heyyyy and theater/artsy friends too.
