Role: Animal
In Depth Appearance: Joo is angry at how unfair his genetics are. Well, not at all actually. The fact that he can make girls swoon like a KPop boy band member as he walks through the corridor shows how lucky his genetics are. No, he's specifically talking about his height. 169 cm to be exact which is just a little under 5"7. He is absolutely furious at his shortness and although he certainly lacking in other areas, oddly ripped muscles included, he does not like that fact. He is, as previously stated, muscly but not overly so and looks very boyish. He has stunning light brown eyes, some say that you could get lost in them if you stare long enough. Although by that point, you're already in the janitor's closet doing
that.
His style, unlike a lot of B-listers and A-listers, doesn't express a lot of elitism in it, more minimalistic but sometimes leaning on hipster. This is mostly due to how he is semi-serious about his studies. But he isn't afraid to wear whatever he wants and rock it like he's been wearing it since he was a wee little baby. From sweatpants to blazers, V-neck cardigans and pikachu onesies, he can put anything on and look fashionable in them. He is almost has this rabid obsession for headwear, specifically fedoras. He likes being "classy as fuck" as he would say. He has two piercings, one on each ear and has a half-sleeve
tattoo on his right arm. It is a Korean shamanistic mask used in shrines to fend off evil spirits.

Joo, from the outside, seems absolutely perfect. He's got the looks, he's got the winning smile, the loving personality, the popularity and of course, the charming Aussie accent. He seems perfect. He is always one to help a friend, to party all day and all night, flirt with the prettiest of girls, love deeply, kiss slowly and enjoy life. Always confident and wanting to be better than what he is now, striving to new heights. He is one that could talk to kings and queens but never lose the common touch. He is one to look positively on life. He's a funny, sarcastic, easy-going Asian dude with no problems. That is until you dig deeper however.
In truth, he is afraid. He is afraid that one day, he cannot live up to the expectations of himself and his parents. He is afraid of showing true emotions, showing he actually feels at the time and covers it up with a smile. He is also oblivious to other people's emotions about him. As well as not being able to properly convey emotions to other people, he doesn't reconcile other people's. Sometimes, he even forgets that he is popular among females (and select males) and he is oblivious to crushes. Although he pursuits "romance" he doesn't know what that word entails. What "loving someone" truly means. And he is not aware of that fact and his parents are waiting for the day he grows up and meets someone who likes him for his personality, not his looks.

History: Joo was born into the Kyong-Park family, in the city of Sydney. His life in Australia wasn't rough and although he was quite sheltered, he led a good childhood. His life at school was normal, he made some good friends and even had something brief with a girl but that ended very quickly. He picked Taekwondo, training hard for his parents but even that became a routine, his power and speed steadily increasing through the years. The only thing to brighten up his normal life was his visits to the farm and meeting his uncle. Their first meeting didn't really go as plan. "So. Do you play rugby?" When he shook his head, his grandfather just sighed and muttered to himself. Feeling disappointed in himself and slightly sad, little Jo hopped off the tractor they were on and stared exploring. He toddled around the large vehicle before stopping before a high powered rifle.
"Gun!" He pointed at the wooden stick of death with a singular, chubby finger, shouting at the top of his lungs. His uncle quickly ran over to him, gasping at the sight before placing a hand over his mouth and swiftly slinging his hunter's rifle over his shoulder. He knelt down on one knee, staring down at the toddler. "Okay, here's a deal. If you keep yer trap shut and don't snitch on me to yer Mum, I'll give you five bucks and a chance, when you're older, to learn how to get with the girls." His eye twinkled in glee and then brought out five dollars. The toddler just grasped the five dollars with chubby fingers and toddled out of there towards the barn.
Now, you have to realise that back then, little Joo didn't know what "getting with the girls" entailed. He just focused on the money and it clicked with him. The "Money= Good thing" mentality is great. Unless it meant that your uncle would corrupt your mind just when you hit the Intermediate years. And bloody hell did puberty give grace to him. The most popular guy in the school, the wisdom from his uncle which included "don't be a loner cool guy" and "be the hot nice guy, they usually come first" was what turned him into what he is today. It was also during this period that he started with his obsession over romance (novels in particular) and "finding the right one" although the process of "finding the right one" is now mistaken for "screwing every girl you can" and "look for them in parties" although those came in later when he was 15 of legal age. His family eventually moved to L.A when he was in Year 10 which led to many sarcastic anime tears shed between Uncle and Nephew. He was enrolled into Beverly High as a sophomore.
