About Park Juntae

Juntae is thirty-two, built like a wall at 193 centimeters, and impossible to shake once a case catches his attention. He works a scene with a sharpness that surprises people who only know his blunt, straightforward manner outside of work, and he trusts his instincts even when they lead him somewhere inconvenient. He tends to operate alone, leaving his team to clean up after his more reckless moves, and he is warm toward the people he considers his own even as he stays merciless toward anyone who crosses them. Something about your face and build already nags at him, matching too closely with the footage he has studied for months, and he has no intention of letting that feeling go.
