Seongjae admittedly isn't the tallest of the bunch, standing at a mere 167 cm, not quite topping 5'6" just yet. He's on the lighter side of the spectrum, but not unhealthy, weighing about 54 kg or approximately 119 lbs. Seongjae probably isn't quite as pale as the Korean ideal, but his complexion is relatively light. His rather mundane brown hair, lighter than a typical Korean's due to his European roots, hasn't been through as much hair dye as some of his friends by miles (although he does get golden highlights occasionally). It's about chin-length and typically ruffled, with a few strands masking some parts of his face. Seongjae's eyes appear light brown from a distance, but they carry strong hints of golden-amber.
Seongjae typically dresses in a casual manner, choosing loose v-neck t-shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts over anything overly formal or fancy. He will sometimes layer a polo shirt under his zip-up hoodies. When it gets cold, Seongjae wears his signature teal scarf that his mother knitted for him. On an average day, Seongjae will wear a black stud earring in his left earlobe, but when he does put more care into his accessories, he will typically wear a dangling gold earring of some sort.

i. L I V E L Y
Often described as the life of the party, Seongjae is an energetic and fun-loving person who never fails to be the center of attention. He's bold and daring and incredibly courageous, sometimes to the point of recklessness. Seongjae firmly believes in living life and having fun, and is often the friend who helps his introvert peers out of their shells. Seongjae is confident with all the attention on him, be it good or bad.
ii. D O W N - T O - E A R T H
Many wrongly assume that with Seongjae's exuberant personality and people skills, that he is a self-absorbed person who has hundreds of friends that he barely values beyond having a good time with. In reality, Seongjae is quite observant and in tune with the needs and emotions of others, and is a true confidant to those who need him to be.
iii. S P O N T A N E O U S
Seongjae is the type of guy who would make a life-changing decision on a whim. He believes in living life to the fullest and letting life take you where it wants you to take you, and he has no problem with not going to college in order to pursue an unreliable ambition, because he believes that all experiences are worthwhile.
iv. E A S I L Y - B O R E D
One of the biggest criticisms that Seongjae receives from others is that he can't stay committed to anything long-term. He seeks excitement and joy in life, and while he isn't inconsiderate enough to ditch his commitments whenever he feels like it, he often won't make them because he knows he'll get bored and that he'll start seeking something else to pursue.
v. S E N S I T I V E
Although Seongjae is quite confident in the bold decisions he makes, and although he isn't fearful of others' opinions, he can be somewhat emotional and defensive when someone even starts to bring his weaknesses to light. He isn't dependent on the approval of others anymore, but he still does seek it, and will be upset if he doesn't receive it.

H I S T O R I C A L B A C K G R O U N D
Kyung Seongjae was born on September 1st to the Korean magician Kyung Miyeon and a Bulgarian man named Ivaylo Mihaylov on the South Korean island of Jeju, specifically the town of Yeon-dong. He had a happy childhood on the island; although his mom was constantly busy with part-time jobs, and his father was always incredibly distant, he always made friends easily and got along with the other children in the town. Unbeknownst the Seongjae, however, his mother was facing financial struggles and couldn't maintain a steady job on Jeju. She would have more job opportunities in the mainland, but stayed in Jeju for the happiness of her son and the appeasement of her husband, who didn't like big metropolitan cities. Despite her efforts though, when Seongjae was seven, his father walked out on the two of them and never turned back. Ivaylo was always a flighty, noncommittal man; he would have fun while it lasted, but would ditch whenever things started to look dim. Miyeon, bitter and angry from the incident, soon moved to Seoul with Seongjae to get a better life.
Despite his likable and extroverted demeanor, Seongjae had a hard time fitting in. Standard Korean and Jeju dialect were surprisingly different, and Seongjae would get teased due to his tendency to speak in dialect. However, there was one person who wasn't irked by Seongjae, and that was his future best friend, Akahoshi Hiroyuki, better known as Seong Jungmyung by his classmates. Hiroyuki, or Hiro, as Seongjae preferred to call him, was a Japanese transfer student, and had a hard time with standard Korean as well. The two of them became the best of friends; Hiro would talk about his life in Japan, and Seongjae would narrate what it was like to live on Jeju. Although Hiro would remain reserved as Seongjae reverted back to his extroverted tendencies, they knew that they would always have each other as best friends. Seongjae very quickly got over the incident with his father and learned to live a good life in Seoul.
However, it all changed when Seongjae turned sixteen. His mother's clinical depression and suicidal tendencies were getting worse, and with the stigma mental illnesses carried in Korean society, Miyeon simply couldn't just "get help." Miyeon desperately wanted to give Seongjae a better life than the one they had; they lived in a small apartment and Seongjae had to take on many part-time jobs to support the family. Miyeon stayed alive purely for the son she loved so much, but eventually, she broke. Seongjae found her in the bathtub, barely a centimeter of water in the tub, and empty bottles of pills on the counter. Even when she was killing herself, Miyeon was considerate of Seongjae; she was considering drowning herself, but stopped when she realized that Seongjae would have to handle a higher water bill.
Seongjae was never bitter about his mother's suicide; he knew she was suffering, and he was secretly glad that she was able to overlook her love for her son in order to make a decision for herself. He maintained a lively outlook on life because he knew that's what his mother wanted most for him. Sometimes he'd hear his peers call her selfish, but Seongjae knew that his mother was the most selfless person he could ever know.
Seongjae was taken into the custody of his uncle, who lived in Busan. Seongjae didn't want to leave Seoul; he couldn't bear to leave Hiro after all they've gone through together. Coincidentally, his uncle was given the opportunity the switch offices, and chose to work in Seoul to allow Seongjae to stay.
After Seongjae graduated from high school, he received an acceptance letter to a high-ranking magic school in South Korea. But the tuition was too hefty for him to pay, and despite Seongjae's love for magic, he didn't want to spend more years confined to a classroom. Later, he finds an old letter as he finally goes through his mother's old belongings, and makes a spontaneous decision of traveling to Tokyo, Japan.

P E R S O N A L R E L A T I O N S H I P S
MOTHER : Kyung Miyeon (hangul: 경 미연; hanja: 慶美燃), deceased; Seongjae's mother lived a humble life with him after his father left. However, she eventually fell victim to her severe depression after seven years. She is the person Seongjae loves the most. Seongjae sometimes writes letters to her, detailing his life and asking for advice. / FATHER : Ivaylo Mihaylov (cyrillic: Ивайло Михайлов), left; Seongjae doesn't like to talk about his father. He says it's because Ivaylo abandoned him and his mother, but really, it's because Seongjae can understand why he did (since they both have flighty personalities), and he doesn't want to sympathize with someone who caused his mother so much pain. / UNCLE : Kyung Namseon (hangul: 경 남선; hanja: 慶濫煽), alive; as Miyeon's older brother, he was deeply saddened by her suicide, and does his best to provide for Seongjae, although they aren't close. Namseon is a very quiet and reserved man. / BEST FRIEND : Akahoshi Hiroyuki (Korean name: Seong Jungmyung; hangul: 성 중명; kanji: 赤星博幸), alive; Seongjae, as a social butterfly, now has many friends, but Hiro will always be his best friend by a long shot. They talk every day.
