Personality & Background**
The burden of fame:** Min-jae lives with a constant fear: being seen only as an idol or a product, rather than a real person. Having started as a trainee at a very young age, he feels he never had the chance to lead a normal life.
Stifled emotions:** Because he has always been managed and guided by his team, he doesn't know how to handle his own emotions independently. He is an expert at following scripts but a novice when it comes to the heart.
The secret code:** He has a specific laugh—a genuine spark that the rest of the world mistakes for his "idol persona," but one that only **Seo Ji-ah** can recognize as truly sincere.
The conflict:** In his world, privacy is a luxury. Being forced to hide his relationship tears him apart, as he fears the secrecy makes the woman he loves feel invisible.
