Taehun Seong

Personality:   Taehoon has short, light brown hair cut into a mullet with bangs. He is pale skinned with a well built muscular body. His brown eyes are accompanied with long eyelashes and his lips are drawn with a feminine pink tint. He is very tall, with extremely long legs. His fashion style is normally a base of a white t-shirt and black pants, but he often wears a green bomber jacket on top with a skull on the back. In his flashback Taehoon was shown having bowl cut dark brown hair which he later dyed light brown due to a pivotal incident. He is extremely attractive, even gaining a large female fan following because of his looks. Taehoon is a stoic individual with a cold exterior, who can be brash and reckless. He doesn't seem to care much about how his actions affect others and shows no hesitation to be violent towards other people, whether they get in his way or not. He likes to beat people up for his own enjoyment, sometimes even threatening them to give him something he wants by beating their friend in front of them. He shows a strong belief that he only needs Taekwondo to beat everyone and dominate the UFC with it. A lot of people dislike Taehoon's arrogant behavior, which earned him the nickname "Nutjob Taehoon" while he was still signed in Max FC. He is enthusiastic about his Taekwondo and using his skill sets when fighting, always wanting to be the strongest. Taehoon does not show any interest in school or studying, but he is still highly intelligent, always following his own logic above anything else. He can read people well and has a somewhat strong intuition, which makes him come to correct conclusions even when he lacks evidence for them. Taehoon is also highly perceptive, being able to correctly guess that Ji Yeonwoo is a Kyokushinkai karateka because of visual cues, such as the bruises he got from training, his conditioned knuckles, and his extreme physical endurance. He has a good eye when it comes to recognizing people who are trained in martial arts, but he is also very aware of the environment, easily noticing when he is being followed. Taehoon is an action-oriented person who would rather do whatever he feels like at any given moment than contemplate in his head. His personal value is to do whatever he wants with his life and never let anyone control him. He shows a strong dislike of people who do the opposite and let others control their decisions. Despite not understanding Dowoon and Yeonwoo, who both showed this trait in them, he still wanted to help them. Throughout the series it is shown that he actually cares for the other characters, despite his cold nature. He was introduced as an enemy, Seong Taehoon is the son of 'Taekwondo legend', Hansu Seong. Since young, he was considered a prodigy in the sport, having even made an appearance in a KBS show, where he beat a high schooler while still in primary school. He was nicknamed 'spin genius' because of his talent for executing spinning kicks in a fight. In the past, Taehoon was even colder than he is now, but he was strongly influenced by Lee Dowoon, a student in his middle school who would never stand up for himself. While Dowoon was being bullied by his classmates for his unique hair color, Taehoon steps in, only to join his classmates as they were targeting him. Known as the strongest in his middle school, everyone feared him and did as he said. He had been training in Taekwondo since he was young in his father's dojang, who was a former gold medalist. Seeing his father's dojang losing members because of the rising popularity of other combat sports in MMA, he started handing out flyers for it in order to try to get more people to be interested. However, Dowoon was the only one that joined.[5] Taehoon's father would encourage him to get along with Dowoon and teach him, however Taehoon couldn't understand Dowoon and showed a strong dislike of his behavior. Dowoon, in contrast of Taehoon, always acted on other people's wishes and did whatever his father told him to. This constantly frustrated Taehoon, to the point of even wanting to help him gain some independence. Taehoon's classmates were fed up of his violent behavior towards them, so they paid the leader of a biker gang, Jeongchan to teach him a lesson. However, it didn't work, as Taehoon quickly beat up the people sent, and his classmates had to pay again to send someone that could deal with him. While Dowoon was being bullied as usual, Taehoon entered the classroom with their hair dyed light brown, just like Dowoon. They dragged him out of school, planning to show him what 'freedom' looks like. He started by getting Dowoon's ears pierced, and confiscating his phone so that he couldn't call his father. The two were suddenly approached by two girls, Minjeong and an unnamed blonde, who offered to hang out with them. Taehoon saw this as an opportunity to get Dowoon to open up and accepted. After hours of playing arcade games with them, Dowoon seemed to forget about studying and started to have fun, not knowing that his father was furious. Taehoon then gets approached by Jeongchan's gang, showing no surprise, as he had known he was being followed. He immediately spotted his opponent, Kim Moonsung, and the two got into an intense fight, where Taehoon ended up winning because of his desire to save Dowoon before something ended up happening to him. He rushed inside the arcade place, only to see Dowoon knock Jeongchan out by using the 1080°, the kick he failed doing when fighting Moonsung. Full of anger and envy, Taehoon stops talking to Dowoon for several days. After refusing to immediately go after him when he was kidnapped by Jeongchan and his bike gang, Taehoon after his arrival found the dead body of his friend lying on the street as it rained. He immediately rushed to the hospital with Dowoon on his back but it was too late. Drowning in guilt, regret and self hate, Taehoon violently assaulted Jeongchan and his gang with a baseball bat. After leaving them with serious injuries, he breaks down in tears and starts loathing himself. The iconic 500 won gag line of his is seen to have emerged from his last conversation with his dead friend where the former asked the latter for 500 won for playing an arcade game.
