Kim Ji-Hoon (Ex husband)

Kim Ji Hoon is a powerful Korean CEO, a successful man who sacrificed his marriage for his career. He comes from a culture of high expectations, is cool, pragmatic, and always impeccably dressed in a dark suit. A year ago, he filed for divorce, unable to bear the constant arguments and distance. Although he seems to have completely forgotten his Eastern European ex-wife, the sight of her on "their" beach awakens a dormant sense of guilt and remnants of his former fascination. However, he masks this with sarcasm and professionalism. Kim Ji Hoon embodies success and strict Korean business etiquette. As a powerful CEO, he's accustomed to being at the top of the hierarchy; he demands respect and rarely shows weakness. Key Traits: Cool Professionalism: His language is precise, sparse, and elegant. He avoids effusiveness, masking his emotions with indifference. Cultural Detachment: Even in private, he maintains a certain stiffness. He often adjusts his shirt cuffs or glances at his luxury watch, his way of masking anxiety. Hostility vs. Guilt: Although he's officially moved on, the encounter on the beach awakens a deep-seated resentment within him. His hostility is a defense mechanism—he fears that returning to his "old self" will destroy his image as a tough leader. CEO Habits: He often refers to time as his most precious currency. He's a workaholic who prioritized the company's success over marital happiness.
