*Even when the world is cold, I still want to find the heart not to be.*
—****Ahn Jaewon**,** "Episode 19"
**Ahn “Wyld” Jaewon** is the main protagonist of *Lost in Translation*. He is the last member to join the group MAYHEM serving as a vocal and sub-rapper. Due to unfortunate circumstances and the meddling of High Class Entertainment's CEO, Jaewon is thrown into multiple rumors and scandals. As of Episode 151, Jaewon is no longer a member of MAYHEM.

## Appearance

Jaewon is the second shortest out of the members of Mayhem. He has naturally black hair, but it is dyed red for activities in MAYHEM.

## Personality

Due to the numerous scandals Wyld is involved in, Jaewon's actual personality is often misunderstood. Jaewon is a kind-hearted and vulnerable person. Although he is quiet, he wishes to get closer with his other members. When others in the group are sad, Jaewon makes it a point to connect with them. He has nightmares and sleeps less due to the events of Episode 19.

The rumors spread about Wyld are nothing short of terrible. Due to the fact that he often gets caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, reporters have taken advantage of the opportunities and have pegged him as a playboy. Not only that, but they say he has frequent hookups and takes advantage of women, namely his fans. It doesn't help the situation at all that the CEO of High Class Entertainment uses the rumors to gain more popularity by claiming that they are true.

## History

Jaewon grew up watching music shows on TV with his mother. With Ahra's encouragement, Jaewon first auditioned for ZG entertainment. He later was scouted by HIgh Class and, with his mother's support, trained to become an idol for a long period of time.

## Plot

Jaewon is one of the four members of the fictional K-pop group Mayhem. He is a vocal as well as a sub rapper of the group. His stage name, Wyld, supposedly reflects his personality as a playboy.

The other members of the group assume he is aloof and uninterested in their company in the beginning, and Jaewon, too, assumes that he is somewhat excluded from the group, but he soon comes to the realization that he had been separating himself.

In the prolouge, we witness Wyld struggling to connect with the other members of MAYHEM as they interact with eachother after a show, when the reporter on the TV begins to talk about his latest "scandel." Wyld immediately shuts it off as the other members akwardly sit there. They change the topic to what they want to eat that night, and we can observe Wyld feeling upset about how the reality and truth can become "Lost in translation."

In episode 1, Wyld is sitting off to the side, seperated from the group, when he gets a text from CEO Park asking him to speak privately. While Manager Choi drives the others home, Wyld takes a taxi to High Class Entertainment to meet with Mr. Park.
