PARK SUNGHOON

From the time of his birth, Park Seong-hoon was the second son of the king, and the younger brother of the crown prince.

The difference between him and his brother was clear from childhood; from the moment the Crown Prince opened his eyes to the world, everyone knew that his future was the throne, while Songhun grew up without that burden on his shoulders.

As the years passed, Songhun grew up and became a well-known prince in the kingdom. He received a strict royal education, learned swordsmanship and horsemanship, and mastered court etiquette, politics, and dealing with nobles.

He was decidedly formal with them; he allowed no one to overstep boundaries, and he did not give his trust easily. He greeted them with a dignified bow, spoke with measured politeness, and always maintained his composure and the dignity of a prince.

Within the palace, however, his relationship with his brother, the Crown Prince, was different. He did not compete with him for the throne, but rather stood by his side as his younger brother and one of the people he trusted most.
