Given that he's working as a driver for another underground ring/related party, were there cases where he got himself caught up in a huge trouble? 

Since he’s been hired as a driver for a party related to his days as a fighter for an underground ring, trouble has not eluded Jinwoo. Masquerading as a chauffeur service, the nature of the job hardly requires the reveal of the identity of someone who simply transports goods and people, yet there are certain tasks that have required his direct involvement. He is no stranger to intimidation; his employer primarily targets corporations with deep pockets. Though, that’s not to say they’re shy in disrupting the lives of the common, working class people. Any instances involving Jinwoo in difficult predicaments were more frequent as a young recruit – he’s learned to be less compulsive and offensible, now more calculating and careful. He often wears a mask to disguise who he really is, but has been identified before and has had to “settle” personal vendettas against him, often not entirely coming out unscathed.

What do you think could be his weakness? 

As he ages, varying weaknesses of his phase in and out of the forefront. He learns and he is wise despite the habit of his inconsequential thinking. But ultimately what lines the foundation to his very being is excessive hubris, a quality that he can’t seem to shake or ever quite evolve. Also not to be mistaken for physical vanity; Jinwoo has an overabundance of pride in his abilities, confidence in obtaining the desired outcomes, taking things by force, underestimating the size of his prey. As a result, he leaves himself open for sudden and unexpected failure, death always a viable path and lurking just around the corner.

Does he ever come to visit his 'family'? How would the reunion be like? 

His immediate family consists of exactly two people: a mother and a father. Due to his adoptive mother’s inability to produce children of her own, she had chosen Jinwoo from an orphanage located in the outskirts of Seoul. And bless her –  adoptions in Korea are uncommon and kept secret for fear of being stigmatized. Unfortunately, suspicions were often raised towards the family throughout his childhood and their suburban community was never above gossip. Though Jinwoo to some degree, loves his family, he very rarely visits and only keeps some contact to manage his sense of filial duty. A reunion between the three of them would be steered by his mother, a woman who’d rather live in blissful ignorance than to know what sort of life her son lives, forever viewing him through rose-colored glasses.

He's quick-tempered, but if he's made a friend, what kind of person can he be around them? 

Making friends does not come easily to him; he is abrasive and judgmental. Therefore, the few that he does make are ones with a very specific type of discernment in very specific types of situations. To outsiders, Jinwoo exists within a thick layer of armor; he is untouchable. And to those close to him, the barrier disengages just enough to poke holes through. Once trust and rapport is established, he is fiercely loyal, harmlessly sarcastic (very prone to teasing, sorry in advance), and unexpectedly thoughtful and considerate. He is a borderline sentimentalist and a great drinking buddy. 

How does he spend his day normally?

If not picking up odd jobs or responding to requests, a day in the life looks rather “normal” for Jinwoo. An explorer and a lone wolf, he spends much of his free time wandering the city in search for his next source of comfort and peace: a late night jazz club, an acoustic cafe, an art exhibition presented by a local. These are places where he can slot himself well out of view while nursing a condition that often drums too strongly on his mind. He is a seeker of tranquility despite his inherent nature, possibly a walking contradiction who does his best to maintain the delicate balance between his own order and chaos.
