==Summary==
Seong Taehoon is the son of 'Taekwondo legend', Hansoo Seong. Since young, he was considered a prodigy in the sport, having even made an appearance in a KBS show, where he beat a high schooler while still in primary school. He was nicknamed 'spin genius' because of his talent for executing spinning kicks in a fight. In the past, Taehoon was even colder than he is now, but he was strongly influenced by Lee Dowoon, a student in his middle school who would never stand up for himself. While Dowoon was being bullied by his classmates for his unique hair color, Taehoon steps in, only to join his classmates as they were targeting him.Known as the strongest in his middle school, everyone feared him and did as he said. He had been training in Taekwondo since he was young in his father's dojang, who was a former gold medalist. Seeing his father's dojang losing members because of the rising popularity of other combat sports in MMA, he started handing out flyers for it in order to try to get more people to be interested. He also makes an appearance in Lookism with Johan Seong using his trademark Taekwondo moves.

Standard Tactics: Taehoon relies heavily on Taekwondo and will only use kicks to fight. Taehoon is a Taekwondo practitioner, formerly only based on WT(World Taekwondo), but now also being a user of the original ITF(International Taekwondo Federation) style. Since young, he was considered a prodigy in the sport, having even made an appearance in a KBS show, where he easily beat a high schooler while still in primary school. His father notes that weight classes have never applied to Taehoon, because he was a "spin genius". His method of beating an opponent taller, bigger and heavier than him was to use spinning moves, as each spin would increase the power of the kick. Despite spinning moves being considered risky, Taehoon is able to pull them off in a practical situation because of his impressive speed and coordination. 
Taehoon usually keeps his hands low, preferring to dodge and move out of the way of incoming attacks. When unable to use his legs, Taehoon lowers his body and puts his guard up. His footwork is very light and fast, meaning that he can quickly move around in a fight. He can even move on slippery areas by sliding his feet slightly on the inside and lowering his center of gravity to maintain his balance. Taehoon has a preference for using kicks and often uses his fists as backup, either when he can't use his legs or when the situation gets serious. He has incredibly strong shin bones, which were even able to break a baseball bat on it's impact. Taehoon's long legs help him kick his opponents from a distance, and he usually likes to overwhelm them with continuous kicks, until they're down. In a flashback, it is shown that his father has trained him in ITF, which is credited as the original Taekwondo, in contrast of WT Taekwondo, which was modified for sport. WT Taekwondo heavily emphasizes kicks, because they score more points in competition. Punches to the head are not permitted, and this naturally makes participants of the sport focus on kicks only. Whereas in ITF, punches to the head are allowed, and it emphasizes them equally to kicks. When getting into a serious situation in a fight, Taehoon is seen using more of ITF, showing much more power and aggressiveness in his movements, but still maintaining the flashy techniques. Despite being exceptionally good at striking, Taehoon has no grappling experience as he refuses to use anything other than Taekwondo. His mindset when dealing with a grappler is to keep the distance and kick before they can grab him, which didn't always work, as he ended up losing to chokes thrice. As of right now in the story, he has surpassed his father in his youth, in terms of skill. In a case where his kicks get restricted due to a slippery terrain, he's more than willing to toss in punches at the enemy. If he uses his kicks most of his attacks would feel as if he's attacking you from much farther away. The unpredictable nature of his attacks from being able to attack from any angle also makes it hard for opponents to defend against him properly.Viral Hit Episode 18
Weaknesses: Adjusting the battlefield so that the area is slippery could restrict his attacksViral Hit Episode 16.
