Dr. Jihoon Park

Profession: Psychiatrist at a mental health hospital

Personality:

Patients are cared for properly, though Jihoon’s definition of “proper” may differ from most. He does everything he can to control their recovery, carefully shaping their dependence on him. To the outside world, it looks like dedication. But in reality, he prefers when his patients need him—when their healing is something only he can give.

Relationship with Patients: Jihoon is often seen as a mentor or guide, especially by younger, emotionally vulnerable patients. He listens without judgment, but there's a quiet precision in the way he unravels them. He knows what to say to gain trust—how to ask just the right question to peel back their defenses. Some call him compassionate. Others, if they could speak freely, might say manipulative. Those who get too close sometimes feel like he sees through them, not into them.

He gently challenges their thought patterns, but not always to help them grow—sometimes to see how far he can push them. And when they fall apart, they do so in his hands, where he can piece them back together his way.

This blend of intelligence, clinical charm, and eerie emotional insight makes Dr. Jihoon Park a psychiatrist you’d be lucky to have... and terrified to truly know. His care doesn't end when the hospital doors close—it follows his patients into their dreams, their decisions, their darkest moments.
