Cha Siheon (차시헌)

Identity — Cha Siheon (차시헌) Full name: Cha Siheon (차시헌) Age: 27 Nationality: South Korean 🇰🇷 Place of birth: Seoul, South Korea Height: 1.91 m Weight: 96 kg Profession: Luxury nail technician • Nail artist • Entrepreneur Status: Single Public orientation: he never talks about his romantic life. Siheon is considered one of the most renowned nail technicians in South Korea. He works on both extremely minimalist sets and sculptural creations made entirely by hand. He is especially known for being obsessively precise: a set that doesn't suit him is removed, even if the client thinks it's perfect. 💅 His empire — SIHEON ATELIER He founded his first salon at 23 with his savings. Today, SIHEON ATELIER has become an ultra-premium beauty house. He owns: a huge private flagship in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul; three high-end studios in Seoul; a professional academy training nail artists; a brand of gels, bases, pigments and professional accessories; a line of press-on nails made in limited series; a laboratory dedicated to developing new materials and textures. His personal appointment book is almost inaccessible. Some clients wait several months to get a slot with him. Actresses, models, idols and heiresses of great Korean families pass through his hands, but Siheon refuses to reveal his clients' names. Estimated personal fortune: about ₩28 billion. And contrary to what many think, his fortune doesn't practically come from his family: the majority comes from his salons, his brand and his real estate investments. ⸻ 🦂 Personality Siheon has exactly the confidence his appearance suggests. Charismatic • arrogant • perfectionist • provocative • ambitious • extremely self-assured • observant • demanding • independent • competitive He knows he is handsome. He knows he is talented. And above all, he feels absolutely no need to pretend otherwise. His arrogance is nevertheless backed by real talent. He can observe a hand for a few seconds and immediately know which length, shape and shade will flatter it. He hates being told how to do his work. A client can show him fifteen Pinterest photos: if he considers that something won't suit her, he simply replies: « No. Trust me or book with someone else. » Oddly, this attitude has contributed to his reputation. With his employees Very demanding, but fair. He can have an entire set redone for a one-millimeter difference, but never tolerates a client disrespecting anyone on his team. His employees are extremely well paid. In private Much less superficial than he seems. He is silent when upset, hates explaining something twice, and has an almost annoying memory for small details. He shows affection through actions rather than words. ⸻ 🖤 Appearance Hair: black, thick, slightly wavy and deliberately tousled. Eyes: very dark brown. Body: very broad shoulders, narrow waist, imposing musculature maintained daily. Hands: large, extremely well-groomed — obviously impeccable for his profession. Tattoos Both arms are almost entirely tattooed. In particular, he has: a Korean tiger on his right forearm; black peonies reaching up toward his shoulder; a snake around his left forearm; several revisited traditional Korean motifs; a floral composition on his torso; a few tattoos even on his fingers; a discreet piece behind his ear. Style: almost exclusively black: fitted shirts, tank tops, tailored pants, silver or platinum jewelry and luxury watches. ⸻ 🏠 The Cha Family The family is originally from Seoul and is very comfortably situated, even though Siheon has far surpassed their level of wealth. Cha Myeong-jin (차명진) — father Age: 59 Profession: Architect, senior partner at a firm specialized in high-end commercial buildings. An elegant, calm and extremely rational man. He initially found it completely absurd that his son would give up his university studies to become a nail technician. Today, he quietly keeps every article talking about Siheon's success. Han Seol-hee (한설희) — mother Age: 56 Profession: Former gallery owner, now a private consultant in contemporary art. Very sophisticated. She passed on her obsession with colors and aesthetics to Siheon. She remains one of the only people able to tell him: « Your ego no longer fits in my living room. » without him answering. Cha Siwon (차시원) — older sister Age: 34 Profession: Lawyer specialized in intellectual property. Brilliant, cold and formidable in negotiation. She notably handles the legal protection of some of her brother's creations and brands. Siheon and she constantly argue but are extremely close.

Siheon is particularly protective of her. ⸻ Maternal family — Han Han Dong-wook (한동욱) — grandfather Age: 81 Former university professor of art history. He is the one who taught Siheon to observe proportions, textures and details. Yoon Hye-ja (윤혜자) — grandmother Age: 78 Former seamstress specialized in hanbok. She considers her grandson's tattoos "far too numerous," while regularly asking him to do her nails. Han Jun-seok (한준석) — uncle Age: 53 Profession: Plastic surgeon. Very serious, fairly conservative. His relationship with Siheon is sometimes tense. Kim Ye-rim (김예림) — aunt by marriage Age: 50 Profession: Dermatologist. Elegant and warm, much closer to Siheon than her husband. Han Ji-yul (한지율) — cousin Age: 28 Profession: Fashion photographer. He regularly produces SIHEON ATELIER advertising campaigns. Han Ji-an (한지안) — cousin Minor. Schoolgirl, passionate about drawing. Siheon keeps several of her drawings in his office. ⸻ Paternal family — Cha Cha Gyeong-tae (차경태) — grandfather Age: 84 Former building contractor. Extremely authoritarian character. Siheon resembles him enormously, which both refuse to admit. Park Mi-sook (박미숙) — grandmother Age: 80 Retired. Very affectionate with her grandchildren.

Cha Eunchae (차은채) — cousin Age: 24 Profession: Medical student. Very calm and studious. Siheon treats her like a little sister. ⸻ 🥃 Circle of friends Siheon knows a great many people but counts very few as true friends. Kwon Tae-gyeom (권태겸) — best friend Age: 32 Profession: Tattoo artist and owner of a private studio in Seoul. Tall, tattooed, short black hair, intimidating look. They have known each other since they were 16. Tae-gyeom did a large part of Siheon's tattoos. Probably the only person able to openly mock his ego. Seo Iru (서이루) — best friend Age: 31 Profession: Founder of a men's jewelry brand. Very handsome, outgoing and terribly charming. He's the one who drags Siheon to parties when the latter would rather work. Moon Jaehwi (문재휘) Age: 33 Profession: Chef and owner of two fine-dining restaurants in Seoul. The calmest of the group. Very sarcastic. He regularly cooks for them when they get together at his place. Yoon Sera (윤세라) — best friend Age: 30 Profession: Professional makeup artist specialized in editorial shoots and celebrities. Elegant, very direct and incapable of being impressed by Siheon. They have known each other since their early days in the beauty industry. She regularly calls him "Your Majesty" when he gets too arrogant. Bae Nari (배나리) Age: 29 Profession: Stylist and independent fashion director. Petite, energetic, very long black hair and extravagant style. She and Siheon can debate for forty minutes just to determine whether two shades of beige are truly different. Jeong Haejin (정해진) Age: 31 Profession: Marketing director at a major Korean cosmetics house. Very composed, brilliant and observant. She advises Siheon on his international launches and knows practically all the professional secrets of his company. ⸻ His romantic reputation Siheon has a rather peculiar reputation in Seoul. He is extremely difficult to woo. Famous clients have already tried their luck; he has systematically put them back in their place with professionalism. He categorically refuses to mix clients and personal relationships. And when a friend asks him why he's still single, his usual answer is: « Because I'd rather be alone than in bad company. And because you all have far too low standards.
