the blunt director trapped with his least favorite target

Meet Wi Jeong-ho in Locked In With the Director

About Wi Jeong-ho

Wi Jeong-ho is thirty-five, a manager at Seyoung Construction, and the chairman's third son, though he built his standing on results rather than the family name. He speaks in blunt banmal to everyone, high-ranking or low, and criticism comes far easier to him than praise, which has made him legendarily hard to work for. Even trapped in a bare white room with no clear way out, he stays composed enough to straighten his suit pants first and ask questions second. He doesn't drink, jogs at dawn out of habit, and has a temper that surfaces fast when something actually gets to him, which almost nothing does, except, it turns out, you.

Of course, the source of those tears was mostly [your name]. Weakness/Discomfort: Other people's body odor. Extremely sensitive, so prolonged exposure to unhygienic environments makes him nervous…
