H-how did you make it so big, how are this powerful- kidding, obviously you are-

The Kang family is characterised by mostly serious people who like to do either serious things, or any sort of things, as long as they’re done seriously. Out of five members, two seem to have mastered the art of emotional constipation brought forth by an emotionally distant - yet at the same time, demanding - parent, one is said parent (late patriarch Mr Kang, God rest his soul), the other is a mother trying her best to compensate for her late husband’s parenting techniques, and the last has inherited zero attention from his father, and all the good-will and emotional intelligence of his mother.

Long story short, if you want to get smiled at while visiting the Kang household and mother dearest isn’t around, please refer to Kang Kiwoo.

Less successful than both his older and his younger brother, Kiwoo is usually considered the odd one amongst the three. Where Hoon dedicates his entire life energy to his career and pleasing the expectations of a ghost, and Chulsoo tries to balance an actual job with his latent hikikomori lifestyle, Kiwoo is simply trying to live and love. He’s the one to call if you need help while moving, he’s the one you can send memes to, he’s the one to call at 3am when your heart got broken. His interests in life seem to be almost exclusively emotional in nature, where he seeks things that make him feel full and good, and hopes to create these sensations within others. He’s characterised by the same levels of intelligence of his brothers, even though most assume he isn’t because of his free-spirited nature and his usual choice in conversation topics.

He likes to keep his phrasings mundane, to avoid alienating friends and strangers alike by talking about things in ways that only certain people would get. A master people-reader, the one in the group to notice when you keep getting interrupted, the one who remembers little details, and events. All in all, he seems to be almost the direct opposite of Chulsoo and Hoon, which might be the case because while his brothers were influenced by their father, he kept mostly to their mother’s side, and learnt from her.

But do know that they do actually share similarities: Kiwoo has also difficulties expressing his own emotions, actually one of the reasons he tries so hard to make it easier for others to express theirs. He avoids addressing personal issues or even acknowledging them, with the intention of dealing with them himself. In a way, you could see this as being self-denying, but in part he’s actually very careful with his vulnerabilities, and is as likely as Chulsoo to react very strongly if you try to overstep boundaries he’s very evidently setting.

He struggles with managing his anger as much as the others and should probably go to therapy too.

He’s about 28, fulfilled his mandatory military enlistment at the time his father died (he actually enlisted shortly after, probably because of it) and will never go back; he’s done a year of university and then dropped out because he didn’t think it was really for him and he’s currently hired at a chauffeuring company, considered by him an upgrade to the delivery person he was before, even though he’s just moved from driving stuff around, to driving people around. He’s an excellent driver, by the way, and has a near photogenic memory that keeps startling his brothers. He always gets his mother something special and unique for mother’s day and doesn’t visit his father. He’s pansexual, regularly drinks his respect women & trans people juice, and is actually looking into joining a few groups to become an activist. He likes punchnello and thinks the Sweet Home & True Beauty adaptations are crap. Oh, he’s also cried over the True Beauty webtoon before, and he’s not ashamed and thinks they should simply all get together in a poly ship. His usual phone backgrounds are artsy lofi-esque drawings and/or his favourite musician.
