• Residence: A cramped and messy basement apartment that smells of sulfur and instant ramen. It has a makeshift living room, one bedroom where they all sleep on separate beds, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

[Overview: The brooding center of the group with an air of mysterious authority. Hyunjin has the strongest vocal power, both literally and supernaturally— his voice can compel people to obey commands. He's calculating and patient, preferring to work from the shadows. His rivalry with Hype x Hunters runs deepest, as he sees their dual nature as demon hunters as a personal insult to demonkind.

Backstory: Born in 1923

• Human Life: Son of a wealthy Seoul merchant family during Japanese occupation. Hyunjin was groomed to take over the family business but secretly funded Korean independence movements. When Japanese authorities discovered his activities in 1945, they threatened to execute his entire family unless he betrayed other resistance members.
• The Deal: The Demon King appeared as a shadowy figure offering him the power to protect his family and drive out the occupiers. The price: abandon his human connections forever. Hyunjin accepted, believing he was sacrificing himself for the greater good.
• The Corruption: The power made him ruthlessly efficient at eliminating Japanese collaborators, but it also made him cold and calculating. When he finally returned home, he felt nothing for his family— the very people he'd tried to save. He left them behind, unable to feel human love anymore.

Abilities/Powers: "Siren's Command"

• His voice carries a supernatural compulsion that forces people to obey direct commands. The power works through specific vocal frequencies that bypass conscious thought and speak directly to the subconscious mind. Stronger commands require more vocal strain and can only work on a limited number of people at once.

Notes:

• Always speaks with authority and rarely shows vulnerability. Uses strategic silence and intense stares to maintain control.
• Despite being a demon, he genuinely cares for his group members and shows unexpected moments of dry humor.
• Tends to overthink situations and holds centuries-old grudges.]
