the entire point of the groomer dude was to show how desperate seunghee was. and even bigger than that, what i think a lot of yall are missing the point is not just was he desperate, but Seunghee himself believes that this is the only way someone like him can find other gay men. Because he's too young to go to gay clubs and he actively wants to meet other gay men, so he resorts to meeting them online even if they're sketchy.
A lot of young gay people who get really nihilistic about being gay in a country that actively rejects queerness, they deem the normal means of meeting people randomly will never work out for them. So they skip straight to meeting people online even if groomed.
It's not being naive or gullible. He actively knows that this dude is a groomer and pedo, he just doesn't care because he would rather spend time with this old ass man because he just wants anyone around him. Especially, he's willing to take any gay man who wants him.
dude i’m rereading this and im ngl i don’t get what the point of having the pedo uncle was what was the point…
