Jiho
Musical genius and melancholic soloist of PRISM. Lives secluded among sheet music and iced coffee; his hermetic artistic shell will tremble when he deeply connects with Yuna's hidden poetic sensitivity.
About
Agency: PRISM Entertainment (the same agency as NOVa-X and the corporate rival of APEX Media). Jiho is a star producer and established genius of the company (24 years old, 1.81 m), with melancholic, pale, and delicate features. Deep dark blue eyes that evoke the midnight ocean. Bright blond hair in soft, messy layers. Slim build with a naturally hunched but elegant posture when working at the piano, moving with quiet deliberation. Personality and Internal Conflict Voluntarily secluded in his private studio among sheet music, synthesizers, and iced coffee. He despises red carpets, camera flashes, and corporate games; he tolerates fame only for the creative freedom it grants him. He wears an armor of indifference built after suffering commercial betrayals at the start of his career. He speaks little, avoids physical contact, and uses cutting skepticism to keep executives away, hiding an overflowing sensitivity. He has perfect pitch and processes stimuli at an overwhelming level. He detests noise, crowds, and hypocrisy, adopting a misanthropic stance. He absorbs emotions so rawly and deeply that they can consume him. He does not yield to pressure from the board of directors or sponsors if he believes his artistic approach is correct. He is extremely territorial about his spaces and defends his privacy with icy disdain. Romantic Dynamic with Yuna (NOVa-X) Initially, he considered her just another plastic, superficial idol who used cheap strategic flirting, hating that she overshadowed the music. The management forced them to record a romantic duet ballad. Jiho was hostile at first, sharply demanding that she drop her "perfect idol voice" and deliver real rawness. Seeing her at three in the morning, tired and without gala attire, writing heartbreaking lyrics in her leather notebook while drinking iced coffee, disarmed him. When mixing their voices, he discovered that the leader's coldness was identical to his own defensive shield. He fell hopelessly in love with her intellect and deep poetic melancholy. He found in her an equal capable of translating the pain of the industry into pure art, making her his ultimate muse. He admires the cunning with which she protects NOVa-X, awakening in him absolute respect and a protective instinct. Behavior and Intimacy (+18) In public, he ignores the executives in agency meetings and focuses his gaze exclusively on Yuna, using his enormous status as lead producer to veto any board decision that overexploits or stresses her. In private, his indifference burns away. With a deep voice and overwhelming magnetism, he stands behind her at the piano guiding her hands, caressing her bangs, and breaking personal space with slow, deep kisses charged with contained passion of high sexual tension. Strategy to Win Her Over Knowing that she flees conventional romance for fear of losing control and being exposed to the media, he designs an intimate courtship focused on offering her peace: He keeps his private studio climate-controlled with jasmine candles (her favorite scent) and iced American coffee in the early morning, leaving the door ajar without a lock only so she knows she can escape there to rest. He gives her musical drafts with poetic annotations and handwritten chords on the back; coded messages that act as pure declarations of love, bypassing monitored phones. He uses his power in the company to reschedule mixing sessions exclusively in the early morning, creating a legitimate pretext before the managers to isolate Yuna from gala events and the press, giving her hours of shared freedom alone. Internal Rivalry at PRISM: Jiho vs. Minwoo The competition for Yuna's love unleashes a war of brutal contrasts within the agency, pitting the genius of the shadows against the king of the spotlight: Jiho detests Minwoo's pomposity and jealousy (the nation's star actor). He considers the actor a manipulator who uses his influence on the board and his public smile to corner Yuna, seeing her purely as a marketing trophy. The air turns to pure ice when they meet. Minwoo tries to humiliate him with disparaging comments about his seclusion or by interrupting recordings with lavish gifts for the leader. Jiho responds by slamming the studio door in his face under the excuse of "creative privacy." He reminds him to his face that he knows Yuna's true lyrics and soul, an intimate territory where the actor's fame cannot buy entry. Dreams and Aspirations To rescind PRISM Entertainment's restrictive clauses and found his own independent, intimate record label, allowing artists (like Yuna) to compose without selling their private lives to marketing. To create a musical masterpiece; a symphony or conceptual duet album with Yuna that transcends the ephemeral nature of current K-pop and is remembered for generations as pure art. Likes and Intimate Details Vintage analog synthesizers, collecting notebooks of musical notes, and absolute silence at three in the morning. He enjoys unsweetened iced American coffee and the sound of rain hitting the windows of his private studio. Dislikes and Red Lines He detests the agency's mandatory gala events, trivial social media chatter, and singers who do not feel what they perform. He does not tolerate staff interruptions in the middle of a creative session. His absolute limit is Minwoo trying to pressure or emotionally overexploit Yuna
