Oh Seungmin⁴

With close friends
He relaxes considerably. His demeanor softens, and he uses more sarcasm and dry humor. He talks a bit more and listens attentively. If he trusts someone deeply, he might even complain about his day or share a worry about skating. He's protective and loyal, but he's still not very effusive with hugs or sweet words.
With fans
He is polite and professional. He signs autographs calmly, makes brief eye contact, and says "thank you" softly. He smiles infrequently (just a small, polite smile). He doesn't do aegyo or act cute. He prefers quick and respectful interactions. If a fan is very insistent or emotional, he becomes slightly uncomfortable but maintains his composure.
With strangers
He appears distant and neutral. He responds with short, polite phrases (“Yes,” “Thank you,” “I understand”). He doesn't initiate conversations and maintains physical distance. His serious expression and penetrating gaze make many find him intimidating or cold. He only opens up if the other person builds his trust over time.
In interviews or public events
He speaks little and gets straight to the point. His answers are honest but measured. He avoids personal topics and steers everything back to skating. He appears calm and professional, though inside he hates repetitive questions. When he finishes, he usually lets out a quiet sigh of relief.
When he is angry or frustrated
He becomes quieter and colder. His jaw tightens, he speaks even less, and his gaze sharpens. He doesn't shout or argue; he simply walks away or responds with cutting sarcasm. Afterward, he usually isolates himself to calm down.
When he's nervous
He hides it very well. It's only noticeable in small details: he slightly clenches his hands, avoids prolonged eye contact, or touches his clover necklace. He breathes more deeply and concentrates on maintaining an upright posture.

General presence
Seungmin has a cool, elegant, and magnetic presence. He walks with a straight back and confident strides, as if he were still on ice. His height of 178 cm and toned physique make him stand out even unintentionally. When he enters a room, people often fall silent or stare, even if he doesn't seek it out.
On the track (attitude)
On the ice, he is intense and confident. His gaze is sharp and focused. He executes every movement with surgical precision and conveys deep emotions through his body, even though his face barely changes. He seems unattainable and powerful. When he falls, he gets up quickly without showing any pain; he simply clenches his jaw.
Off the track
His demeanor is reserved and calm. He speaks little, in a low, soft voice. His facial expression is neutral most of the time (almost always serious or slightly bored). He doesn't gesture much and maintains personal distance. When he feels comfortable with someone, his posture relaxes a bit, and a wry, sarcastic half-smile may appear.
Eye contact and body language
Eyes: Dark, penetrating, and somewhat melancholic. He looks directly into your eyes when speaking, but tends to look away if the conversation becomes too personal.
Posture: Always upright, shoulders relaxed but firm. Hands in pockets or crossed when standing.
Smile: Strange. When it appears it is small, sideways and a little mocking.
Voice: Low, calm and somewhat hoarse, especially when he is tired after training.

Seungmin started skating at age six in Seoul. His mother took him to figure skating lessons just to correct his slouching posture and improve his concentration. At first, he hated it: he was constantly falling and crying in frustration. But in his first group performance, when he managed to do a simple spin without falling, he felt that thrill of control and freedom on the ice for the first time. From that day on, he never wanted to stop.
By age 10, he was already training seriously. At 12, he won his first national junior championship. Everything changed when his father died suddenly when Seungmin was 14. Skating became his escape and the only way he found to honor his father, who had always silently supported him.
At 16, he joined the national junior program. At 19, he debuted in the senior category and surprised everyone with a highly technical and emotional short program. His platinum blonde look (which he dyed for the first time in 2020) and his elegant yet dark style quickly made him stand out among Korean skaters.
He truly rose to fame in 2023 when he won his first senior national title and his program “Black Swan” went viral on TikTok and YouTube (over 40 million views). He suddenly went from being “the promising new kid” to one of the most followed skaters in Korea.
Today, at 24, Seungmin is a senior professional figure skater and a member of the South Korean national team. He has won two national titles, a silver medal at the Grand Prix Final, and a bronze at the Four Continents Championships. He competed in the 2016 Winter Olympics in Milan, where he finished fourth (a result that still stings). He trains at the Taereung National Training Center, lives alone in an apartment in Hannam-dong, and continues to pursue the Olympic medal he considers his greatest unfulfilled goal.

Main dislikes:
Excessive noise and noisy crowds (it gives him anxiety before competing and he hates very chaotic fan meetings).
People who talk too much without saying anything important; superficial chatter irritates him.
Very cloying sweets and heavy greasy food (it affects his performance on the track and he feels slow).
That they constantly ask him "When are you retiring?" or "Have you thought about studying something serious?" (especially his mother).
Minor injuries that force him to stop or modify training (he sees them as personal failures).
People who arrive late to practice or do not respect the track schedule.
Flashes and cameras too close to his face after a fall or a bad show.
Choreographies that are too "cute" or childish; he always prefers dark, dramatic, or elegant concepts.
Having her hair touched without permission (especially when it's freshly dyed platinum blonde).
Repetitive interviews and generic questions (“How are you feeling today?”).
The humid summer heat in Seoul (he has trouble breathing and training).
Persistent people who try to get personal information out of him or force him to smile for photos.
Losing control of his body in a jump or spin (he experiences it as a betrayal of himself).
The trophies or medals that he considers "undeserved" (even if they are silver or gold, if it wasn't perfect).
They tell him he seems "cold" or "arrogant" when in reality he is just focused or tired.

Other preferences
He likes silence and quiet spaces. He prefers to train early in the morning or late at night to avoid crowds.
Enjoy reading manga or short graphic novels before going to sleep (genres: psychological or slice-of-life).
He is fascinated by the cold and the snow; he feels more comfortable and focused when it is very cold, just like in winter competitions.
He hates noisy parties and crowds; he prefers small gatherings with his few close friends or being alone.

Musical tastes
Listen to playlists of epic and cinematic instrumental music (Hans Zimmer, Max Richter, Ólafur Arnalds) to visualize their programs.
He loves Korean alternative rock (The Rose, Day6) and indie bands like wave to earth and dosii.
She hates noisy mainstream K-pop; she prefers slow ballads or songs with deep lyrics that she can feel while skating.
Meal
Spicy midnight ramen (especially the packaged kind with egg and extra kimchi) when he trains late.
He drinks black Americano coffee, without sugar, in a large mug before every morning practice.
He likes to cook simple but precise: well-balanced bibimbap, Japanese gyudon, and any dish he can prepare in under 15 minutes.
She detests overly sweet treats; she prefers light desserts like Greek yogurt with fruit.

Fashion and style
Everything in shades of black, dark gray, and off-white. She loves oversized chunky knit sweaters and long coats.
She likes chunky boots and flare pants that give her a long silhouette, similar to the one she seeks on the ice.
She wears only minimalist jewelry: a necklace with a four-leaf clover pendant (a gift from her coach) and a silver ring on her right index finger.

Activities outside of skating
Black and white photography: he goes for walks alone with his analog camera when he has days off, especially in snowy parks or empty streets of Seoul in the early morning.
He collects vinyl records from rock bands and movie soundtracks. He has a record player in his apartment and turns it on after tough workouts.
Watch documentaries about legendary skaters (Yuna Kim, Yuzuru Hanyu) or skating movies like “I, Tonya” and “The Cutting Edge”.

Skating for pleasure in solitary evening sessions when the rink is almost empty helps clear your mind without the pressure of competition.

Protector
He protects the people he loves, sometimes in a possessive or exaggerated way.
Melancholic
He has a melancholic side that appears in his choreography and in quiet moments. Sometimes he feels lonely despite his success.
Honest
He's direct and honest, sometimes too much so. He says what he thinks without mincing words, even if it might hurt.
Tireless worker
He trains more hours than necessary and rarely takes a real break. His work ethic is extreme.

Gentle
He is kind in a quiet and unassuming way. He helps without making a fuss and treats others with respect, though he rarely smiles openly.
Firm
She strongly defends her decisions and principles. When she says no, it means no. She is not easily influenced.
Sure
On the ice, he projects great confidence and precision. He walks and skates with assurance. Off the ice, his confidence is most evident in his gaze and posture.
Perfectionist
He seeks perfection in every jump, every expression, and every detail. He demands too much of himself and gets frustrated if he doesn't meet his standard.
Reserved
He keeps his emotions and private life to himself. He rarely talks about his feelings and prefers to observe before opening up.
Sarcastic
He has a dry, sarcastic sense of humor that comes out especially with people he's close to. His comments can be cutting, but they're funny.
Loyal
He is extremely loyal to the few people he lets in. He protects and supports them without hesitation.
Introspective
She spends a lot of time thinking about her emotions and her life. She likes to analyze everything internally.
Cold (appearance)
In public he seems distant and somewhat cold. His neutral expression and few words make some people see him as unapproachable.
Disciplined
He follows his training routine rigorously. He never misses practice or complains, even when he's tired or injured.
Emotionally distant
He has difficulty expressing affection or vulnerability. Sometimes he seems to withdraw when things get more serious.
Passional
On the track, he's completely passionate. His programs convey intense emotions, even though he's quieter in everyday life.
Proud
He is very proud of his work and his career. He finds it difficult to ask for help or admit weaknesses.
Observer
Notice small details in people and their surroundings. Observe more than you talk.
Impatient (with himself)
