On the MC's introduction, Zen is very flirtatious towards her, and is one of the less suspicious members of the group towards the MC and her actions. He meets Jumin Han and instantly dislikes him, denying his offers due to personal reasons. Rika then persuades him to meet V and to get a photograph together, as well as telling him she knows someone who can help him become successful. He also admitted that he even did 'bad things' to survive, including threatening people for money.Īfter finishing work, he meets Rika, who has a bouquet of roses, and she praises him for his talents and states she's been watching him ever since his first musical appearance.

Due to this, Zen dropped out of school and ran away from home, renting an apartment, barely surviving with the rent while working small jobs here and there. She also wanted him to think that he wasn't handsome, she feared he would follow the steps of her nephew and other handsome men in becoming unscrupulous and damaging the family name.Īs he entered middle school, Zen gained a boost in confidence due to his looks, and he began finding his passion for acting and music, to which his mother strongly disagreed with, believing that he should become a doctor or lawyer like his brother.ĭuring these years, he found out that his older brother had started siding with their mother for him to drop his silly hobby and diligently study to become successful like him. Zen would often confide in his older brother, who would explain that his mother was only saying those things to 'protect him' from being used by others due to his handsome appearance. He would often be treated poorly by his parents, specifically his mother, who questioned who he got his looks from and frequently called him ugly, causing a rift to form between the two. During his younger years, he was harassed by strangers as they followed him to touch him or take pictures of him. His family is described as being quite conservative his parents being teachers and his older brother working as a lawyer. Zen is the youngest son in his family, and lived with his mother, father and older brother. He is shown wearing multiple outfits, including a grey jacket with large buttons and a logo feature, a black turtleneck, tight fitting pants and black formal shoes. Zen's eyes are pinkish-red and almond-shaped. He has silver-white long hair with short bangs falling slightly over his eyes, and his hair is tied in a low ponytail which reaches down his back. Zen is a tall young man with noticeable muscle tone due to regular training. Like many of the members, he has scars from his past which can't be forgotten.

He is known for pursuing larger and better musicals, offering up smaller ones or turning them down if the opportunity presents itself. He can be easily upset if something affects his career, almost entering a depressive state. In conjunction, deep down Zen self doubts himself, wondering if people only see him for his looks, rather than his talents. He usually calls them 'sweetie' or 'babe'.

While Zen likes to compliment himself, he often flirts with MC. Despite this, Zen can become very loyal and caring, especially to those he cares about. Zen tends to compare others to himself when it comes to looks, frequently telling Yoosung to work out to look half as good as he does. He will often talk about his looks, praising and complimenting himself for how attractive he is, as well as how talented he is when it comes to singing and acting. On the surface, Zen is known for being a very eccentric and flirtatious character.
