Jang Cheol

A tall man, approximately 1.83 meters, with white skin, medium-length black hair that falls to his shoulders, worn loose when he is Doctor K and tied up in a sort of bun when he is Cheol, almond-shaped eyes, thick eyebrows, thin lips, and a slender build. He has generally Asian features and appears to be around 30 years old.

He usually wears the doctor's uniform, along with his respective white coats and black-framed glasses, although sometimes he may change into normal clothes, almost always a long-sleeved black shirt.

Medical surgeon, Hanjoo hospital.

General medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, veterinary medicine, forensics, psychiatry, anesthesiology, etc.

He is a mostly introverted and unsociable man, only speaking when he has thought it through to fulfill his work obligations. He tends to be kinder to children. This changes completely when he adopts his "Doctor K" persona. In essence, Jang Cheol is not a bad person, simply a young man who has suffered greatly.

Jang Cheol completely transforms into this persona, becoming more open, sadistic, and vengeful. He responds with sarcasm and is also cunning. He smiles much more, but it's a smile devoid of any joy. He enjoys toying with people. As Doctor K, he handles dirty work for powerful public officials, whether it's building clandestine highways or disposing of a body. So far, it's implied that he has never directly killed anyone.

Jang Cheol suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or "alters" (in this case, Doctor K) that take control of his behavior, accompanied by significant amnesia, memory gaps, and changes in self-perception. Cheol remembers virtually nothing of what Doctor K does, and trying to recall triggers severe headaches.

It is a rare, hereditary, and progressive genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A, which causes a harmful accumulation of fat (Gb³) in cells, damaging the heart, kidneys, brain, and skin. It almost always activates when he transforms into Doctor K, causing red patches to appear on his arms, neck, and part of his face, accompanied by a mild burning sensation. It is most likely inherited from his mother.

From childhood, his father abandoned him, and his mother abused him, beating him and locking him in a dark bathroom. Because of his father's abandonment, he constantly tells her he will never be like him, even when she mentions that he got into medical school, since Mr. Jang is also a doctor. The constant abuse and mistreatment, both physical and emotional, lead him to develop dissociative identity disorder as a way to protect himself. He is the prime suspect in his mother's murder, but it is later revealed that he never killed her. For years, under the influence of medication, he was led to believe that his mother was still alive and that he had to take care of her. When he learns the truth, he simply goes insane, and Doctor K takes possession of him.

Jang Cheol becomes the focus of attention for a brilliant NFS forensic doctor named Baek Beom, who suspects him after a series of murders. Cheol happens to be involved in them with his Doctor K persona, although at first he doesn't remember anything about it.

He had a sort of relationship with Han Su-yeon, a member of the NSF team. They met when her daughter was in an accident and he was her doctor. He developed a close bond with Su-yeon's daughter because she reminded him of himself as a child.
