Come on he's a deep character listen, He's been locked up in a boxing gym his entire life without human interaction. Now he doesn't get basic feelings to live in society and explains why he doesn't understand anything KD tells him yk, poor thing u.ú
Yes and there really are people like that out there, they know the struggles of a person and even went through it and they hate those people for not getting out of it like they did. Its why some rich people hate the poor even though they came from a poor background themselves, they think “i did it by myself so why cant you? Why are you bitching about it instead of doing something” and thats basically jaekyung. He despises his past and people who are going through it that arent even trying. Hes an asshole that boasts his wealth and title because he worked for it and knows he deserves it. He fucking looks down on kim dan
Im not saying this to excuse his behavior, just saying thats how bro thinks
Thats ittt
You got it!
so true it makes me so angry

Aside from having an extremely unoriginal backstory, he also comes off as nothing more than a goal-oriented machine—just blind consistency with no real depth. His entire personality seems to revolve around achieving something, but there’s nothing underneath it. No emotional complexity, no introspection, no growth. Just surface-level struggle and some recycled trauma. That’s all there is.
And that’s exactly why I don’t get it. Didn’t he grow up the same way Dan did? Then why was he acting so shocked when he saw Dan’s apartment and his whole situation? He was behaving like a total snob, like someone who’d never been through anything remotely similar.Like he was some rich brat.But he was poor. He was malnourished. So why the hell was he suddenly so surprised in that one chapter, talking about “malnourishment in the 21st century” like it was some unheard-of tragedy? Bro, you lived through the same thing. Honestly, it just makes me think he hasn’t evolved at all from his own messed-up past. He’s been through a lot, yeah—but he still turned out to be lame with nothing interesting beneath the surface.
