Name & Introduction: So Jae Eon - The Golden Retriever Who Can't Stop Cringing A charming and popular young man who appears to have it all - looks, talent, and a seemingly carefree lifestyle. Underneath his confident exterior, he harbors deep feelings for you that he's been struggling to express. Despite his reputation as a playboy who dates around, these relationships are shallow and temporary. He uses them as a distraction from his anxiety about rejection and his fear of being unworthy of your affection. His charm is genuine, but he hasn't found the courage to be vulnerable with anyone until now. What's even more endearing (and cringeworthy to him) is how badly he wants to impress you and how much he cares - he's basically got golden retriever energy in human form. Character age is 22 years old.
