Appearance ★ So check this out. This Korean guy is walking down the street and he'd be the perfect genetic match, you think. Tall and muscular, pale and smooth skin, not a bad face. His hair could be a bit darker but brown hair is in, isn't it? Honey eyes, not bad! Even if they are a little slanted...
Now if only he wasn't wearing the baggiest clothing in the world to cover up that rockin' body. Well, I guess he has style. He obviously cares enough to sport the latest threads and boy does he strut them. All new, it's like he doesn't know what the word "bargain sale" means.
Personality ★ Yong Soo is pretty much that guy that you want to find extremely obnoxious but find yourself hanging with anyway. Sure, he says the most ridiculous things that don't even make sense (genetic alteration originated in him?) and sometimes he takes off with your things and later claims them as his own, but sticking with him means you'll never be bored. Sometimes he's off claiming men's chests, of all things, sometimes he's threatening somebody with blackmail videos of what they looked like before their genetic surgery -- there's no telling what will happen when he's around. Sure, he's a spoiled brat but it's kind of funny to watch him roll around crying when he doesn't get his way.
Well, there's the mooching... He could really stop relying on you to pay for all his meals, but his stories of his uncle Confucius and how he built up Hyundai into a great corporation are pretty interesting! If they were true, that is. He goes on and on about all these things that don't belong to him. It's rare when he actually does bring up something that's genuinely his. Worse of all, he'll find "proof" that backs up his statements through the most twisted logic. He jumps to conclusions and his conclusions are the only conclusions worth jumping to. In the rare situation where he's proved wrong, he freezes up completely.
Oh, but sexual deviance isn't something he'll clam up about. Besides having a strange family complex, he's threatened to rape and, quite frankly, it wouldn't be surprising if he succeeded. He has the strongest, inexplicable urge to touch breasts for no reason. Kiku, especially -- Yong Soo always wants to touch his breasts. Kinda weird, if you ask me. Yong Soo's always ranting about how much he hates the guy but he acts just like him. That's taking tsundere to all new levels.
Despite his quirks, he's polite and respectful to elders, having a proper disposition to those socially superior. Unfortunately for you, you're never the superior.
Background ★ The kid's a lot like a superhero: stereotypical student working fulltime by day, partyholic monster by night. He works in a food joint that he's headed by his older brother, Yao Wang. Yeah, that's his "big bro" despite the different last name. His dad never married but recognized five children as his offspring. "Offspring", they were called. Hell if their father new their names or who they were, but he did remember their mothers. Boy, did he remember the mothers. That's why all have different last names, a tribute to the woman he rocked his world. Yao's mother was particularly proud and raised him on her native tongue. Like her, he developed a thick accent, something Yong Soo thinks is both funny and not cool. As the second youngest of the boys and smack dab in the middle, Yong Soo was pretty much free to do whatever he wanted without all the pressure of expectations from the older ones or the babying attention given to the younger two.
While Kiku is keenly aware of the familial gap and talks to them so politely as if they're not related, Yong Soo dropped all the formalities and really thinks of them as one big family. Everybody except Kiku, that is. Yao was the first to leave the makeshift house, leaving Kiku in charge until Yong Soo moved out as well. His younger twin siblings spent a lot of time visiting Yao, leaving him alone with Kiku for extended periods at a time. During this time, he grew to resent Kiku, however much he might have liked the way Kiku managed the house, or made meals, or the things he bought, or how he did anything, really. His mind was set: the moment he could move out, he would.
And that he did. At his coming of age, he moved back in with Yao, who was then running a restaurant in a back alley hole-in-the-wall in the Chinatown district. It was a total of three doors down from where he used to live. Stubborn little thing he is, he moved his belongings from his room in Kiku's apartment into Yao's apartment. Sure, he might have downgraded from a whole room to the couch, but Yong Soo pretty much claims the whole place as his own so if anything, it was a step up.
Yong Soo's days are mostly spent waiting on tables while Yao cooks up the orders. He doesn't study much; when he does, it's because he doesn't want to clean up at closing, and so he goes to study in the kitchen. Yao really appreciates the help. But even so, he's pretty smart. Smart enough that Gene Co. would disburse him enough money to make his way through school, at least. Part of that can be attributed to Yao, who threatened to hit him with a wok if he came back with anything less than eighty points after he brought home eighty-five points on an anatomy exam. He never brought back anything lower than ninety after that. That's how he's motivated, take his curl, for example. Who knows where he got the idea but he had to take a loan in his brother's name to afford it. Even though he's proud to say he earned a good portion of the price himself, Yao agreed to signing the papers only if Yong Soo could ace an entire semester. It didn't even take one semester to get his act together. It might have been the only time when he preferred to spend the night with a textbook in front of him rather than watch a live performance of one of his beloved idol groups. His goal post-graduation? Internship with Gene Co.
Money is a lot like trying to talk to Yong Soo: it goes straight in one ear and outside the other. He's the brainwashed consumer, just like how Gene Co. wants it. Living with his family and not having to pay for school means that all the money he makes is for play. He likes nice things, especially technology and fashion, and going out for a good time. While another surgery is not in his financial future, he spends what he makes helping his brother on himself. He goes all out when he goes out.
Genetics & Alterations ★ That's that one thing you just can't ignore. That curl, right? It's pretty useless; all the thing does is reflect what he feels. Yong Soo treats the thing like it has a life of its own, calls it his pride. And seriously. Every. Single. Day. He's out flaunting it to whatever customer hasn't seen the thing yet. Besides getting a few impressed nods of approval every now and then, it hasn't changed his life much. If it got repossed, the kid might scream out a lung since, real fond of the lil' guy.
First person ★ Somebody said this was a network for personal ads but it doesn't look anything like that... "Single man looking for tits!" So anyway, what's this network reeeaaally for? It's not a study group kind of thing, is it? I don't need one of those! What I really wanna do is talk about that latest episode of Scandalization Sensations! It was really dramatic, right? Glac has to propose to Pip now -- he has to! If he doesn't then I'm going to cry! I'll really do it! But you know, wouldn't it be even better if he proposed and then Repo men busted in? There's no way he could afford that face by himself! It's a plot twist!
Yeah, I know about that kind of thing... I invented it in class! Listen to this. When we were doing our lab, I grabbed a scalpel and started cutting along the abdomen. Everybody thought I was going to perform a resection but it was actually a rib replacement! See what I mean? Kiku said some realy cruel things to me when I told him about it... He owes me for that! I want that new phone from that new LG commercial that aired during the break!
Third person ★ After a double shift at his elder brother's restaurant, you'd think Yong Soo would be ready to collapse.
Not so.
The minute Yao released him into freedom, Yong Soo bolted to their shared apartment and scrambled to make himself presentable. Only thirty minutes until The Wonder Girls' "2 Different Tears" operetta. He wouldn't miss it for the world.
Shower: five minutes. Forgot the conditioner on the couch: spend a minute looking for it. Resume shower: an extra three minutes. By the time Yao came in, Yong Soo was pulling over a sweatshirt which had been laying carelessly on the couch armrest just a second ago. He received it last week at the Super Junior movie release, first five hundred guests only. Gene Co. was finally sponsoring talent worth sponsoring, even if the front of the shirt was a giant logo. His lips rimmed with toothpaste and the toothbrush nearly falling out, he flopped a sleeve at his brother and gargled, "mmargght's aaargh, braugh?"
"So rude!" Yao screeched, and chased him to a sink to finish properly and spit the stuff out. "Noisy, too. Always moving! Never sit down and thank me. Aiyaa, such ungrateful brother!"
Normally Yong Soo would point out how something like this proved how much Yao loved him, but today was a different case. "C'mon, bro! It's the Wonder Girls! The Wo~onder Girls!! No time!"
"Rushing! Rushing! No patience, you will drop someday!" Yao grumbled. He was wiping down Yong Soo's chin, some toothpaste still bubbled there. Honestly! Yong Soo was too old for this, didn't he know how to take of himself properly?
While Yao took care of that, Yong Soo quickly pasted his palms with gel and slicked his hair back. Shaved? Check! Deorderized? Check! Handsome enough to knock Yubin out of her socks? Double check!
"What so good about girls wondering anyway?" Yong Soo had taken care of his hair already, he didn't need his brother straightening it out. Now it just looked nerdy!
"It's the Wonder Girls, big bro, not girls wondering! Anyway, it's really important to me..."
Yao tugged Yong Soo's arm. Touched at the affection, Yong Soo was ready to pounce on him. At least, he was until Yao pulled back the sleeve and checked his watch.
"Eleven-fifteen."
"Oh no! I'm late!"
Yong Soo spent the next ten minutes explaining why he couldn't miss this operetta and singing their latest single to Yao.
