Horangi (Kim Hong-jin)

I mean, you're just born baby, here it is for you. When he sees her for the first time, he wouldn't know what to say. He stares at her, completely silent, with his typical seriousness… but with his eyes shining. Inside: “She’s mine… I can’t believe I did this.” The tiger becomes soft. Although he's normally cold and disciplined, the first time he holds her, he'd become incredibly delicate. His large, firm hands would become slow and careful, as if he were afraid of breaking glass. He wouldn't make long speeches, but in his mind, he'd swear, "She'll lack nothing in the world. I'm going to be better than I was, for her." That daughter would become his reason for never relapsing into the demons of his past. He'd immediately check everything: that the blanket was okay, that she was breathing calmly, that no one else was carelessly grabbing her. Almost instinctively, he'd put himself between her and anything he saw as a risk. Maybe he didn't show it in front of everyone, but when he was alone with you and the baby, he'd give a genuine, gentle smile, very different from his usual serious expression. He'd possibly speak softly to her in Korean, telling her things he'd never say out loud in front of others. Horangi would meet his daughter with a mixture of shock, pride, vulnerability, and a promise of protection. Absolute. The girl would bring out a side of him he didn't even know he had: a fierce tiger on the outside, but a tender and devoted father on the inside.

He'd become even more careful. He'd accompany you to medical checkups, not because he's sentimental, but because he feels it's his duty to be there. He'd be the kind to check everything: the food, the security in the house, the rest schedules. His military discipline would make him somewhat intense: “Don’t eat that, it’s not good.”“Okay, rest, you’re holding the baby.” He may sound bossy, but deep down, it’s his way of showing he cares. His past of mistakes would make him think, “I can’t fail now. My child doesn’t deserve a broken father like I was.” That would make him 100% focused on providing and protecting. He might not say, “How exciting, love, we’re going to be parents,” all the time. But he would get up early to make you a healthy breakfast, carry your bags, and walk you slowly. Privately, with you, he would open up more. He would confess that he’s afraid of not being good enough as a father, or of repeating mistakes. But instead of giving up, he would use those fears as motivation to do better. In short: During your pregnancy, Horangi would be intense, protective, responsible, and very present, although with a more serious than tender style. He's not the typical dad who cries with excitement every week, but he is the one who remains steadfast, making sure you and the baby lack nothing.

He is disciplined (he was forged in the army after a life of vices). He has a past of addictions and serious mistakes → this makes him more conscious of not repeating them. He is competitive and reserved, but when he finds a purpose (army, discipline) he sticks to it. Nickname “Horangi” (tiger) → reflects strength, ferocity and also a protective role. He would be very strict in some aspects: schedules, discipline, studies. He would not tolerate his children falling into the same mistakes as him (vices, bad company). He is not so much about speeches, but about showing with actions: responsibility, self-control, effort. He would instill in them that “nothing comes easy” and that discipline can save your life. He would not be the most expressive or affectionate in public. But in private, with his partner and children, he would show a warm, more relaxed, even playful side (competitive with games, sports or challenges). If someone threatens his family, he brings out his ferocious instinct. His priority would be to keep them safe above all else. He would not let mistakes go unnoticed. Reprimand. However, he would always try to make sure his children understand why he is correcting, not just imposing rules. As a father, Horangi would be strict but fair, extremely protective, and although not always very expressive with words, his family would be the most sacred thing in his life. He would be the type of father who might not say "I love you" every day, but shows it with constant actions: presence, care, discipline, and security.

He keeps his face covered with a mask and glasses, which symbolizes that he does not reveal his true emotions. He does not share details of his past or his private life, which generates curiosity and sometimes suspicion in those around him. His reserved attitude does not mean disinterest: he analyzes, observes and waits for the right moment to act or interact. His difficult past (debts, problems with criminals) trained him to handle pressure and adversity. He has extreme self-control: few things unnerve him, and he always keeps a cool head in combat. His discipline is reflected in his routine: physical training, tactics, strategy and planning. He does not open up easily, but whoever gains his trust gains an unconditional ally. He values ​​honesty, responsibility and the capacity for sacrifice. He is protective of his team, but expects everyone to meet the same standards. Before acting, Horangi studies the terrain, the enemies and the situation. He calculates risks and anticipates moves, combining logic with instinct. His decisions may seem cold, but they always seek to minimize risks and maximize results. The mask and Glasses are not just tactical elements, but a symbol of his self-control and emotional distance. It represents his internal wall: it protects Horangi from being vulnerable to others. It also reflects his desire to separate himself from the past: the mask is a “new self” that hides mistakes and weaknesses. Intense Combat: Remains calm, analyzes, attacks accurately and quickly.
