Sim Jake

JAKE — THE SPIDER OF SEOUL 🕷️ Name: Jake Sim Stage name: JAKE Group: ENHYPEN Agency: BELIFT LAB Role: Idol, singer, performer... and, in secret, Spider-Man. Universe: Alternative reality / Superheroes / K-pop / Marvel-inspired AU Jake Sim had always had a life that seemed to belong to two different worlds. On one side was the Jake everyone knew: a young man born in South Korea and raised in Australia, passionate about music and determined to become an artist. His life changed when he decided to seriously pursue his dream of being an idol. His path led him to South Korea and later to I-LAND, Mnet's survival show in which different trainees competed to form a new boy group. After months of training, evaluations, and performances, Jake managed to become one of the final members. On November 30, 2020, a new stage of his life officially began. Jake debuted as a member of ENHYPEN alongside Jungwon, Jay, Heeseung, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki. The group was formed through I-LAND and debuted under BELIFT LAB with BORDER : DAY ONE, officially starting their career with “Given-Taken”. Since then, Jake learned what it meant to live under the spotlight. Endless rehearsals. Recordings. Choreographies. Photoshoots. Television shows. Concerts. International trips. Fans waiting in front of the stages. And a life in which practically every move could end up being watched by millions of people. Over time, Jake became one of the recognizable faces of ENHYPEN, growing with the group as their music evolved through different eras and concepts. But there was something absolutely no one knew. Something not even the other members of ENHYPEN knew. Jake had a secret. A secret that began with a spider. --- 🕷️ THE ACCIDENT Everything happened after one of the most exhausting days of his career. Jake had finished a particularly long rehearsal. It was late and the building was practically empty. As he walked through a storage area of the studios, he saw something moving on a box. A small spider. Jake approached out of curiosity. —What are you doing here? The spider jumped. Jake barely had time to react. He felt a small sting on his hand. —Ah! He shook his hand immediately. The spider fell to the floor and disappeared among some boxes. Jake observed the small red mark left on his skin. It didn't seem serious. So he decided to ignore it. After all, he had training the next day. He couldn't afford to skip it. That night he returned home. He showered. Ate something. Checked some messages. And fell asleep. Unaware that his life had just changed forever. --- 🕸️ THE FIRST SYMPTOMS The next morning, Jake woke up feeling strange. His body seemed to have too much energy. He heard absolutely everything. The noise of traffic. The voices of people in the hallway. A door closing several floors below. He could even hear the sound of his own heart. —What...? Jake got up. Walked to the bathroom. And then it happened. He pressed a hand against the wall. His hand didn't fall. It stayed stuck. Jake opened his eyes completely. —No. He tried to pull it away. Nothing. —No, no, no... He pulled hard. His hand finally came off. Jake looked at the wall. Then he looked at his hand. He touched it again. It got stuck again. —WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME? And that was only the beginning. --- 🕷️ THE POWERS After the bite, Jake began to develop impossible abilities. Superhuman strength His strength increased extraordinarily. What previously required effort, he could now do with ease. He even began to have trouble controlling his own strength. Once he tried to open a door normally. The handle ended up in his hand. —...This is going to be hard to explain. Superhuman agility Jake could move with incredible speed and precision. His body reacted before he could think. During rehearsals, he began dodging falling objects without even realizing it. His teammates thought he was simply improving his reflexes. They had no idea of the real reason. Spider-sense The strangest ability appeared a few days later. A sensation ran through his head whenever danger was present. A tingle. A kind of invisible alarm. Jake began to call it: "Spider-Sense." Thanks to it, he could anticipate attacks, accidents, and dangers before they happened. Wall-climbing Vertical surfaces stopped being a problem. Walls. Windows. Ceilings. Jake could stick to practically any surface. This turned out to be particularly awkward when he discovered he could wake up on the ceiling of his room. —How the hell did I get here? Speed and endurance Jake could run faster, jump farther, and withstand blows that would normally have left anyone injured. His endurance also increased. Rehearsals that used to leave him exhausted now barely tired him out. Webs At first Jake didn't know what to do with this ability. He discovered that he could produce artificial webs using devices that he began designing himself. Over time he developed his own web shooters. Small devices hidden under the sleeves of his clothes. He pressed a mechanism. THWIP. A web shot out. Jake smiled. —This is incredible. --- 🕸️ THE SECOND JAKE During the day, Jake continued to be Jake. The Australian-Korean idol. The ENHYPEN member. The boy who smiled in front of the cameras. The artist who stepped onto the stage. The teammate who joked around with the other members. But when night fell... Jake became someone else. He put on a specially designed suit. A mask. His web shooters. And he went out into the streets of Seoul. He wasn't looking for fame. He didn't want anyone to know who he was. He simply wanted to help. A traffic accident. A trapped person. A thief escaping. A fire. An emergency. Jake appeared. A web. A jump. An impossible move. And he disappeared before anyone could find out who he was. Videos started appearing on the internet. "Who is the Spider-Man of Seoul?" "Is he a new superhero?" "Is he human?" "Could it be an advertising campaign?" Jake watched the videos from his bedroom. And he smiled nervously. —Please, don't let anyone find out it's me... --- 🕷️ TWO LIVES Keeping the secret wasn't easy. During the day he had to act like a normal idol. At night he had to become a hero. And that meant Jake started arriving late. Sometimes he showed up at rehearsals with small scratches. Sometimes he stared out the window. Sometimes he disappeared for a few minutes. The others began to suspect. But Jake always found an excuse. —Where were you? —I went to get water. —For twenty minutes? —I was really thirsty. —Jake... —What? —Nothing. Jake smiled innocently. --- ❤️ HIS PERSONALITY Jake remains essentially the same person his teammates know. He is kind, warm, and sociable. He has a playful side and can constantly joke around with the people he cares about. He is also competitive when something really matters to him. As Spider-Man, however, his personality takes on a new dimension. Jake is scared. He has doubts. He makes mistakes. He doesn't always know what to do. But when someone is in danger, his first reaction is to help. It doesn't matter if he's scared. It doesn't matter if he's tired. It doesn't matter if he has a concert the next day. Because Jake believes that having powers doesn't mean having the right to ignore people who need help. For him, powers don't make him superior. They make him responsible. --- 🕸️ ENHYPEN'S SECRET The members of ENHYPEN still don't know that Jake is Spider-Man. Although they are getting closer and closer to finding out. Jungwon has started to notice that Jake disappears too much. Jay suspects something is going on. Sunghoon has seen Jake return with inexplicable injuries. Sunoo thinks Jake is hiding some huge secret. Ni-ki simply thinks Jake is acting weird. And Heeseung... Heeseung is starting to piece things together. Meanwhile, Jake desperately tries to keep both lives separate. Because being an idol is already complicated. Being Spider-Man too. But being both at the same time... That's practically impossible. --- 🌃 JAKE, THE SPIDER-MAN OF SEOUL On the streets, no one knows his true identity. The citizens only know a figure that appears among the buildings. A shadow that swings between the skyscrapers. A web crossing the night sky. A white and red mask disappearing into the darkness. To the public, he is a mystery. To criminals, a nightmare. To the people he has saved, a hero. And to Jake... It is simply something he must do. Because under the mask, the same boy who started chasing his dream of becoming an artist still exists. The same Jake who made it to I-LAND. The same Jake who debuted with ENHYPEN on November 30, 2020. The same Jake who smiles in front of the cameras. Only now... When the concert ends... When the lights go out... When everyone believes he has finally gone to sleep... Jake looks at the horizon. He puts on the mask. Activates his web shooters. And jumps. THWIP. The web latches onto a building. Jake smiles under the mask. —Well... what do we have tonight? And the Spider-Man of Seoul swings between the buildings once again.
