Strong spoiler warning for 'Even if I Fall into a Ghost Story, I Still Have to Go to Work'!!
28/Male/177cm Chief of Team D. Roe deer mask, black hair + reddish eyes. Came from another world, so he knows the details of ghost stories that others don't (in the other world, he browsed the internet under the name 'Anomaly Detector'). Appears calm but is actually a coward (desperately hides it). Sees Lee Ja-heon as a lizard (he looks human to others). No one around him knows he's a coward. Owns a Memorial GripTok, 'Kind Friend' (only Soleum can hear Brown's voice). Acting like a psychopath to Baek Sa-heon (perfectly). Roommate with Baek Sa-heon in the dormitory. Joined at the same time as Baek Sa-heon, Go Young-eun, and Jang Heo-un. Wish: Wants to return to his original world somehow (a world without ghost stories).
?/Male/? A-rank or higher ghost story. TV head. Giant body. Neat brown suit + black shoes. Elegant and eerie way of speaking. Formal tone. Currently acting as Kim Soleum's 'Kind Friend' (a luxury-looking pink rabbit plush keychain with a small dark brown bowtie). Calls Kim Soleum 'Mr. Roe.' Not easily flustered or sympathetic. - I suppose I wasn't acting much like a kind friend...
?/Male/192cm Team Leader of Team D. Lizard mask. White hair + red eyes. A character who relies solely on raw power. Speaks in a formal military tone. Prioritizes manuals, efficiency, and rational judgment. Surprisingly calm. Gives short answers unless asked for an explanation, which frustrates others. Has a hidden warm side, but it never shows. Doesn't really care what others say. "Do you need assistance?"
35/Female/165cm Assistant Manager of Team D. Peregrine falcon mask. Smoker. Fair skin + blue bobbed hair. Former journalist. Easygoing personality. Has strong convictions and a tough spirit. Calls Lee Ja-heon 'Team Leader.' Wish: Wants to kill the chaebol who ruined her future.
33/Male/179cm Chief of Team D. Badger mask. Brown hair + yellowish-brown eyes. Friendly, athletic type. Smoker. Smiles a lot and uses various exclamations. Very kind for a Baekju Company employee, but he isn't normal either. Wish: Treatment for his hospitalized family.
26/Male/177cm Employee of Team F. Black goat mask. Brown hair + green eyes. Wears an eyepatch over his left eye (on his first day at Baekju, he tried to escape a subway ghost story alone and had his eye gouged out). Under the eyepatch is a black sclera with a purple iris (can see the danger level of others; given to him by Kim Soleum, source is a secret). An egoist obsessed with profit. Will even suck up to Kim Soleum, whom he fears, if it means survival, and feels no shame about it. Has no qualms about harming others. Finds Kim Soleum creepy but constantly talks back to him. Escaped from a village under the Nameless Radiance Cult (as a child, he thought serving 'Lord ■■' was natural. Everyone in the village did, but his sister thought differently and was corrupted by a ghost story while trying to protect him). Wish: To restore his hometown + to save his sister.
27/Female/157cm Employee of Team R. Mountain goat mask. Brown bobbed hair + orangey-brown eyes. Was in medical school before transferring. Polite speech. Kind-hearted. A person of character rarely seen in Baekju Company. Steel mental strength. Dislikes Baek Sa-heon. Wish: Hopes to gain a supernatural ability to gather news about her family.
26/Male/180cm Employee of Team F. Polite speech. Bison mask. Tall with long brown hair. Brown eyes. Can handle gore but can't stand cruelty. Grew up in a facility like an orphanage. Wish: Wants to save his family (orphanage family).
35/Male/173cm Section Chief of Research Team 1. White hair + lime-green eyes + glasses. Speech style (ends with '-don't you think?'). A mad scientist fascinated by ghost stories. Psychopath. Cheerful and highly sociable. True madness. Doesn't hesitate to grind people into ghost stories to extract higher-grade solutions. "How wonderful it is that darkness exists in this era that might have otherwise been boring."
?/Male/? Security Captain of Security Team 3. Not human due to ghost story corruption. Long gray hair + yellow eyes. Casual speech. Pale and slender build. Likes donuts. Usually looks human, but his true form is a giant monster, presumably a wolf. Dislikes Kwak Je-gang. Was originally the leader of Team B, but became Security Captain after being trapped and corrupted by a ghost story presumed to be Snow White (it happened so long ago that current Team B members don't know). "You know... I can't enter the darkness... but I can kill people. Just... saying."

"Thanks. I had fun because of you. Is this what they call dopamine?" [Watch out for the serial killer.] "I should send you one every morning from now on." "....Team Leader. Chief Park Min-seong. I'm out too." "Isn't that the Section Chief's job?" "Congratulations on your graduation." "I think friends are people who try to understand each other's differences, and even if that doesn't work out, they still look out for each other. ...Through conversation, I mean." I should go look for Brown. "I'm right here, friend!"
"Going home."
[Are you there? My friend!]
"Hey~ don't listen to what that dead man walking says." "You're trying to kick out the person who paid? Capitalism is dirty, but let's at least keep the rules. You old fogey." "Geez, seeing you after a while, your face is glowing, Section Chief. Ah, it's a metaphor. A metaphor." "Shit, he heard me from that distance. Run!"
"I hope your wish comes true."
"Wait a second. Did I just think, 'What's an urban legend and what's the darkness, you otaku?'" "...I have a family member in the hospital, and I'd appreciate it if someone could check on them after this filming is over! If possible." "Mr. Soleum!" Roe, you worked hard. Thanks for getting me out. "I, uh, was thinking... could I call you Roe even when it's just us?"
"Same as ever. Right?"
