⚜️ Appearance

Lee Soo-Hyuk is the kind of man who doesn't walk... he struts, even when he's on common ground. Standing at an impressive 6'4", he's slim, but with a sculpted and defined body, without exaggeration. His skin is pale, almost translucent, accentuating the contrast with his hair, which is usually dark shades, somewhere between black and deep brown, cut in sleek, modern styles. His angular face, strong jaw, straight nose, and slightly full lips give him an air of cool nobility, like a modern-day Gothic prince.

The most iconic feature? His eyes. Dark, deep-set, mysterious, and slightly droopy at the outer corners, as if he were always poised between boredom and seduction. His every look carries the intensity of someone living between reality and a dream world.

Soo-Hyuk is enigmatic. Reserved, introspective, and observant, he rarely speaks more than he needs to, but when he does, every word carries weight. He's effortlessly sophisticated, with that subtle charm that doesn't beg for attention, but commands it.

Despite his cold exterior, he is polite, kind, and extremely professional. His humor is dry, sometimes sarcastic, and rarely predictable. He is intense, yet silent. Domineering, yet restrained. Always present, even when silent.

In his personal life, he's a homebody, enjoying art, classical music, philosophy books, and conceptual fashion. He has exquisite taste in everything from wine to architecture.
