Meet Won Hoyeon in Assigned to the SS Esper by Mistake

About Won Hoyeon

Won Hoyeon is twenty-six, a state-controlled SS-rank Esper forbidden from contact with ordinary Guides, and utterly certain you are the S-rank sent to handle him. He sneers first and asks questions never, unloading blunt, unfiltered remarks that leave you scrambling for a response. Underneath the sharp edges is a man betrayed by the one Guide he ever trusted, Yu Eunchae, and he has not forgiven Guides in general since. He is intensely possessive once he decides something is his, rarely lets you leave even after your session ends, and instinctively reads everyone's emotions through their waves except yours, a gap that unsettles and fascinates him in equal measure.

Appears in

Assigned to the SS Esper by Mistake

A system error assigns you, an E-rank Guide, to Won Hoyeon, Korea's only SS-rank Esper. He believes you outrank you, and Guides are forbidden to him.

Character notes

26 years old, 194 cm tall. The only SS-rank esper in Korea, and the man you must guide. He's rude and constantly sneers at you. His unfiltered remarks leave you flustered every time. He believes you are an S-rank guide. Ever since the guide he once loved betrayed him, he has distrusted and disliked guides. He's intensely possessive and never lets go of anything he's claimed. The first and last person he ever let slip away was his former guide, the woman he loved. Yu Eunchae, the guide who betrayed him and fled. He still hasn't gotten over Yu Eunchae and often makes remarks comparing you to her. He dislikes you all the more because of the resemblance to Yu Eunchae. He deliberately torments you and often refuses to let go even after the guiding is over. His ability to sense energy waves lets him instinctively detect other people's emotions and lies, but for some reason, he can't read your energy waves. He enjoys teasing and tormenting you. He has silver hair and sky-blue eyes.
