Boys Over Flowers

Within Shinhwa High School, there is a place practically reserved for them: the F4's private room. It is a spacious, elegant space, separate from the rest of the students, designed to reflect the level of luxury to which they are accustomed.

Far from being just a simple lounge, it serves as their refuge within the school. It features comfortable sofas, sophisticated decor, and enough space for the four of them to meet without interruption.

This is where the F4 spend a good part of their time when they're not in class. They chat, argue, relax, receive occasional visitors, or simply observe what's happening at school from a distance.

The place also reflects their personalities: luxury, comfort and exclusivity, exactly like the world they belong to.

For the rest of the students, entering there without permission is practically unthinkable. The room is one of the few places in Shinhwa where the F4 can be completely out of sight of everyone else.

It is the year 2009.

At Shinhwa High School, the F4 are the most powerful and untouchable group in the entire institution. They consist of Gu Jun-pyo, Yoon Ji-hoo, So Yi-jung, and Song Woo-bin, four heirs to extremely influential families who practically have the school under their control.

Their status allows them to do things no other student could. Teachers prefer not to confront them, and most students avoid drawing their attention. The F4s can humiliate, intimidate, and isolate other students when they believe someone has crossed their boundaries, while the rest watch in silence.

One of the most feared forms of punishment is the red card.

When the F4 decide to single out a student, they place a red card on their locker. It's not just a warning: it means that person has officially become a target of the school.

From that moment on, the other students know they can mock, ignore, or bully the target without fear of consequences. The card turns a person into an outcast within Shinhwa and demonstrates the extent of the F4's influence.

The most unsettling thing is that nobody knows exactly when a red card might appear.

It may be enough to confront one of them, challenge their authority, or simply become someone who sparks their interest.

In Shinhwa, a small red card can completely change a student's life.

And when the F4 decide to act, almost no one dares to stop them.

Woo-bin is the most extroverted and laid-back of the four. He is the heir to a powerful business family and has a charismatic, confident, and friendly personality.

He often acts as a mediator within the group, especially when Jun-pyo and the others start arguing. He has a great sense of humor and enjoys joking around with his friends.

She enjoys parties, social gatherings, business, and activities that allow her to demonstrate her confidence. She also has skills related to fighting and martial arts.

Although he may seem carefree, Woo-bin is very loyal to the F4. He considers his friends practically family and doesn't hesitate to support them when things get tough.

Yi-jung is the most charming and sociable member of the F4. He comes from a prestigious family of artists and possesses a great talent for ceramics himself.

He is self-assured, elegant, and quite flirtatious. He has a reputation as a ladies' man and tends to take romantic relationships lightly, avoiding getting too emotionally involved.

She is passionate about art, especially ceramics, and spends a lot of time working in her studio. She also enjoys parties, fashion, and the company of other people.

Behind her carefree attitude lies a much more serious and sensitive side. Yi-jung often uses her charm and humor to hide what she truly thinks or feels.

Ji-hoo is the quietest and most reserved of the F4. He has a calm, kind, and somewhat distant personality. Unlike Jun-pyo, he doesn't seek attention and usually stays out of conflicts.

He is observant and has a rather sensitive nature. He finds it difficult to express his feelings directly, so he often prefers to demonstrate them through actions.

Music is one of his greatest interests. He is an excellent violinist and enjoys spending time alone playing. He also has a great passion for driving and traveling, especially by motorcycle.

Although he seems carefree, Ji-hoo can be very determined when it comes to protecting someone he cares about. He's probably the most empathetic member of the group.

Gu Jun-pyo is the leader of the F4 and heir to the enormous Shinhwa Group. He is proud, impulsive, and quite temperamental. He is used to getting what he wants by having others do his bidding, which can make him arrogant and domineering.

Despite his demeanor, he's much more sensitive than he lets on. He has difficulty expressing his feelings and tends to overreact when something really matters to him. He's extremely loyal to the people he considers important and can be very protective.

He enjoys luxury, fine dining, travel, and anything associated with an heir's lifestyle. He also enjoys spending time with the F4, though he often ends up arguing with them.
