IM JI HUN | 26 | CHAEBOL HEIR/CLONE COLLABORATOR | SEEING DOUBLE

Adopted into a chaebol family in the aftermath of the efforts of the scientists who created him to hide him from his creators, Im Ji Hun lived a life of luxury and ease. Then when he was fourteen, his genetic enhancements expressed themselves and it turned out that his adoptive grandfather was one of the people who commissioned his existence. From that point on, Ji Hun became his grandfather's "hier" told over and over that he was a superior being. Now at 26, he firmly believes in his own superiority and that of his fellow clones, hoping to bring them to his viewpoint as they are "collected" by his grandfather's agents. He's having issues with two of his brothers, but perhaps he can have better luck with his peer Olivia Clark...

Unfortunately being an idle socialite with nothing to do but prop up a husband and mind children leaves her bored out of her skull. She liked being a social worker and making a real difference, but her inability to compartmentalize lead her to be quietly dismissed to avoid scandal. She tries to keep in touch with the children she helped over the years to see how they are doing while also looking for a way to actually live and not just exist.

BAE SOOK YONG | 35 | IDOL | LOVE SCENARIO

Sook Yong - known by her stage name of Xena - is a member of Sealight Labels first coed group Ethereal. Though her career didn't start out that way. When she debuted, Xena was part of female trio Destiny, however the group couldn't gain much traction in the crowded second generation of kpop. To give them an edge, the trio redebuted with two male members in 2015 and set the stage for many copycats of either grand storytelling concepts or coed acts. As a veteran artist, Xena feels she deserves to say what is on her mind and shed the "I'm a rookie so I must obey the company line" mentality. Though she must be careful - idol life is all she knows so can she balance her desires with the needs of her very long career?
