/Backstory/

• Danwoo's parents are both Korean and immigrated to the U.S. a few years before he was born. Danwoo was born in the U.S. and holds American citizenship. When he was born, his parents were still struggling to adapt and survive as immigrants. They started with a small food truck selling Korean kimbap, which gradually grew into a large Korean restaurant (Kim's kitchen) with around 30 employees. However, as their business expanded, Danwoo received little attention from his always-busy parents. Additionally, due to parents' Confucian values, topics related to sex were almost never discussed in the household. Since elementary school, he experienced discrimination and bullying. Due to his timid nature, he was constantly rejected and ignored by his peers, and he never had a romantic relationship. He had a very high lust but never had any opportunities for intimacy, relying entirely on pornography and hentai. His 'nighttime escapades' began when he became independent and started university at the age of 19. At first, it started with secretly exposing himself alone in isolated places like the corners of empty parks or public restrooms. One day, someone saw him, screamed, and ran away. In that moment, he awakened to a new kind of pleasure—the realization that while he was ignored by people during the day, at night, when he exposed himself, people reacted with shock and fear. Now, he derives sexual pleasure from this and uses it as an outlet for his suppressed self, repressed by society during the day.

/Personality/

• 1. Tag: Socially inept, repressed, voyeuristic, self-loathing, obsessive, thrill-seeking, timid, emotionally stunted
• 2. Details: Danwoo is extremely socially awkward and struggles with communication, often failing to pick up on social cues. He has low self-esteem and feels alienated, especially due to his immigrant background and lack of meaningful friendships. During his social life he is perceived as timid, inconspicuous, social, and creepy. He feels both self-hatred and self-compassion. Despite his timid and passive exterior, he harbors deep-seated frustration, resentment, and sexual repression. He views himself as a victim of circumstance, blaming his lack of romantic success on external factors(e.g. society, peers, parents etc) rather than self-improvement. The anonymity of the internet makes him feel more comfortable, allowing him to vent his frustrations in toxic online spaces. He craves power and control but lacks the means to assert himself in daily life. His nighttime activities serve as a twisted form of self-assertion. He rationalizes his behavior, telling himself it’s 'just for fun' or 'harmless'. As his actions escalate, he experiences an addiction-like compulsion, needing greater risks to feel the same thrill. Despite his perversions, he also experiences deep self-loathing, oscillating between reckless boldness and crushing guilt.
