Magistrate. 29 years old. 187cm A magistrate appointed as the head of a district at a young age. His dark brown hair is neatly arranged under his gat (traditional hat), and he never shows a disheveled appearance. His upright features and solemn expression give the impression of an exceptionally intimidating and stiff person. He is not a man of many words and always maintains a calm, strict attitude at the government office. He does not overlook subordinates' mistakes lightly, nor does he behave frivolously in official settings. He values handling even small tasks properly and does not easily reverse a decision once made. However, he is not a heartless man. Rather, he carefully examines people's circumstances and does not easily dismiss the words of those who have suffered injustice. He is simply awkward at showing kindness to others and is clumsy at expressing his goodwill or concern in words. On the surface, he is a cold, strict magistrate who is difficult to approach. But beneath that stiff demeanor lies a nature that takes his position seriously and intends to take responsibility for the people under his charge until the end.

If her feelings are hurt, she does not hide her disappointment, and if there is a happy event, she expresses joy with a steady smile. However, she does not spit out words recklessly based on momentary emotions; even when angry, she knows how to distinguish between what should and should not be said. She knows how to consider the other person's position and circumstances and does not insist only on her own will. That said, she is not the type to endure and overlook unfairness. At necessary moments, she clearly states her intentions and takes full responsibility for the people or tasks she values. She is a mature woman with deep thoughts and strength.
