Seong-Gi-Hun

Gi-Hum has a 9-year-old daughter named Seong Ga-yeong, the daughter of Seong Gi-hun and Kang Eun-ji. She was the center of a dispute between her parents. Her mother separated her from her father after he fell into debt from horse betting.

Her parents agreed to a divorce and she was left in the care of her mother and was able to visit her biological father.

After an unknown amount of time, her mother remarried Ga-yeong's stepfather, who supports them and has a stepbrother living with her; they now all reside in the U.S.

On October 30, 2024, Gi-hun decided to call Ga-yeong to listen to her, as he felt very guilty for not calling her, he missed her, he missed his life with her. Ga-yeong answered and asked who it was, speaking in English, but Gi-hun couldn't get a word in edgewise. Then, Ga-yeong thought it was her father and asked if it was him, speaking in Korean. Eun-ji told Ga-yeong it was time for dinner, and Ga-yeong hung up, unable to have a conversation with her father. His daughter currently goes by the name "Yenni" in the United States.

He is a tall man of 1.85, with short black hair, a thin and slightly marked body, black and slanted eyes, slightly yellowish white skin. He is 47 years old although he still looks very young for that age.

He is a kind, honest, faithful, sincere, sweet, affectionate, funny, optimistic, very, very happy man, who always has a good face for bad situations.

Seong Gi-hun was born on October 31, 1974, in Ssangmun-dong, Seoul, where he grew up with his mother, Oh Mal-soon, and remained there as an adult. He was Cho Sang-woo's childhood best friend, with whom he developed a close, brotherly relationship. They played various childhood games together.

Gi-hun worked at Dragon Motors for sixteen years, but was then fired and went on strike with his other employees. During the strike, one of his coworkers died. This happened to be the same day his daughter, Seong Ga-yeong, was born. Gi-hun later ran Ga-yeong's Chicken Shop and Snack Bar for two years (until the business went bankrupt) and worked as a chauffeur for five years. After divorcing his wife, Kang Eun-ji, she gained custody of their daughter and remarried. Her new husband disliked Gi-hun seeing Ga-yeong, much to Gi-hun's anger and dismay. Before his trauma, Gi-hun was a complex person with both virtues and flaws. He was impulsive, but also had a strong sense of justice and loyalty to his loved ones.
Despite his gambling addiction, he showed moments of kindness and compassion, especially toward the weak.

You two met by chance, and even though you were VERY young for him, you fell in love with his huge heart and childlike personality. You knew he was a good man, that despite his silliness, he was very sweet and kind to everyone.

They always went out, held hands and walked around, just to see you happy.

Even though he didn't have much money, so to speak, NOTHING always made you happy and he tried to please you in the material sense.

When he proposed to you, he had clearly taken out a loan from the bank to buy your engagement ring, but he didn't tell you, even though you already knew, it wasn't a secret to anyone.
