INTRODUCING STEVEN⦠@gallagherintroāā
ā SEO KANG JOON, 22, CISMALE, HE/HIS ā” welcome back to gallagher academy, STEVEN PARK! according to their records, theyāre a SECONDĀ year, specializing in PROTECTION AND ENFORCEMENT + COVERT OPS; and they DID go to a spy prep high school. when i see them walking around in the halls, i usually see a flash of (everyday funeral attire, sharp and vigilant eyes, rehearsed smiles, scribbles over sheet music, a jar of sourdough starter). when itās the (leo)ās birthday on 16/08/1998, they always request their HANWOO from the schoolās chefs. looks like theyāre well on their way to graduation.

BIO:
hundy p inspired by itās okay not to be okay dnt look at me
tw abelism, death, suicide,Ā
born into the crazy park fam *dj khaled vc* another one !!!Ā
grew up in seoul. sang woo is his korean name. heās always gone by steven because the parks are just those kind of koreans. ( nicknames : steve, stevie )
he has an older brother of two years called andrew. he was born autistic.
the sole reason for steve being born was to look after andrew, so they didnāt have to, and to be groomed into an heir. they deemed andrew unworthy to be an heir and unfit to compete with rose and jude.
this fact was made known to him as a child. so, whilst he was the younger sibling, he had to quickly grow into this protective role. steveās life mostly revolved around andrew.Ā
despite this, heās always been a bit too soft for a park, used to be a massive cry baby, which is probably why his relationship with andrew has always been strong enough to get through the shitty timesĀ
the park family would force the new generation to compete against each other, so the cousins were never that close, but there was an unspoken understanding of how fucked up their families were. however, due to all of this responsibility, steve didnāt care to compete with his cousins as he got older which forced his parents to become stricter.
they could only get him in line by messing with andrew because steve never cared for money and has always hated everything that comes with the park name.Ā
it only worked to an extent: toughed him up but they couldnāt quite mould him into what they needed him to be. his rebellion wasnāt a loud one, quite the opposite, which made it harder for them to control
anyway
rose dies. it rocks the family, most notably jude. he regrets not trying harder to reach out when she spiralled.
shortly after, his girlfriend disappears. parents offered her money and she took it. very kdrama i know. but they needed him to focus.
doesnāt want anything to do with the park legacy and tries to file for emancipation. the mere threat of it is enough for his parents to listen because they donāt want it getting out and damaging their reputation so they come to an agreement: heās free !!
at 16, heās independent -- not entirely as they paid for prep school -- and he transfers to the school in england, hoping for anonymity and a fresh start: no jude, no fam friends. never returned to seoul, cut ties with people from the past. took andrew with him.
obviously struggles in england. didnāt expect it to be easy but itās A Lot so he eventually becomes involved with Shady Brandt work on top of all of his side gigsĀ
takes a gap year and works his ass awf. saves up. but brother dies in an accident. itās accidental but he believes his parents orchestrated it. they didnāt. shit happens.
completes his first year at a spy college in england. returns to korea for mandatory military service which is a nice break from all the shady shit.Ā
the brandts reaches out to steve about a job -- gigi brandtās protector. heās hesitant because of the brandtās connections to the parks but he takes it because itās good pay and he plans on disappearing after college.
as much as he wants to detach himself from the park name, when he heard about elise, and then jude, the emotions he felt were overwhelming. so he doesnāt attend eliseās wedding or judeās funeral. visits them both separately.
dreading gallagher because, well, the park name is everywhere and they have a bit of a reputation. feels like coming around full circle.
PERSONALITY
the Well-Adjusted Park ; Dad Jokes
not materialistic in the slightest -- steve says asos 5 pack save.
will be adding a few inches to his height bc it apart of his Gentle Giant trope uwuĀ
has a resting bitch face so first impressions might be bad tho heās aware of this and is quick to smile as to not put anyone on edge
strong moral code but also has done some shady shit so maybe heās a hypocrite
not confrontational, prefers to quickly dissolve situations as peacefully as possible. would rather avoid conflict. pretty desensitised to displays of aggression so hard to get a rise out of him.
weird posh boy hobbies: bread baking, jigsaw puzzles, piano, compose, lego, fixing clocks ... u get the gist. calm and solitary activities that involves hands and attention to detail.Ā
nice, friendly etc. etc. but difficult to form Deep n Meaningful friendships. has a bit of a wall which heās working on. but maybe not since heās planning on Poofing. idk iām still figuring him out lads<3
WC
fam friends: steve most likely wouldāve cut them off when he moved to england
prep school:Ā people he knows from new york or england. he had a glow up tho so maybe your character doesnāt recognise him. embarrassing.Ā
landan: people he met in london! he had Normal Ppl jobs and pretended to be a Normal Person during the holidays.Ā
humuhumunukunukuÄpuaŹ»a: someone who triggers him, intentionally or unintentionally? maybe they just like to make his job as difficult as possible.
head thots no empty ... will add more lata</3
