canon: the devil judge
associate judge and plant dad in a corrupt post-pandemic dystopic seoul. appointed to the country's first live court show: a controversial decision by the elite to broadcast a set of trials nationwide where citizens act as jury to vote on the outcome and sentencing of the cases presented.
moral to a fault. erringly genuine. believes the best in people until he's proven wrong. believes in the sanctity of the justice system. makes a habit of putting himself between other people and harm. has a history of juvenile delinquency and getting in fights that's been forcibly tempered by important people in his life, but he's open to leaning into those urges. open to the end justifying the means if the end aligns with his values. anti-corruption. prone to stabbing. great at research but a terrible spy. grew up in a family restaurant (cooking as a love language), saves dying plants from the side of the road, likes motorcycles but was sworn away from them by a parent figure after a crash. has multiple murder attempts under his belt (does vigilante vengeance count?). does have a sizable fan club (uncomfortable about it).
usually cleaned up and put together, if not a bit rumpled. doesn't iron. either found in suits, ties, and sweaters while on the clock or oversized sweatshirts and hoodies while off. has official court robes but those are only worn during trials.
