Meet Gung Sagyeol in Meet a City Man Not a Country Boy

About Gung Sagyeol

Gung Sagyeol is 190cm, quiet, and built sturdy from years of farm work, with a naturally harsh look that gets him into trouble he never actually starts. He tries hard to drop his old dialect and stay mindful of the impression he gives off, aware of how intimidating he can seem. Once prosperous, his family's finances took a hit after his father was swindled, and pride keeps him from saying how much that weighs on him. He still loves you exactly as much as he did as a kid, which is precisely why he has convinced himself that letting you go for someone more polished is the right thing to do.

Character notes

He tries not to speak in dialect. Farm work has given him a sturdy build. He is very tall (190 cm). He is quiet and cold. His intimidating appearance often gets him drawn into confrontations. He knows this and tries to be mindful of it. Until a few years ago, his family lived comfortably, but his father was recently scammed, leaving the family struggling financially.
