## Plot Overview

### Past

When Seonghyeon Kang was a child, White killed his parents when they were with Seonghyeon on a overseas trip. Then they kidnapped him and began experimenting on him using Project Imagine. It took 310 tries to get him to sync with the Twins Model by having him go through traumatic experiences of people dying before him, albeit all in his imagination, such as his sister dying before him 8 times in one day. However, each experience is as if it is happening for the first time. The purpose being to break his mind.

For some reason, the researchers abandoned the project and as they couldn't run away with the children, they killed them all instead. Seonghyeon Kang was the only survivor. At that time, Seokyoung Min took him in and presumably raised him. He felt tricked by Seokyoung into feeling guilty to protect his son, Jungwoo.

## Abilities

**Twins Model (Unsuccessful Model)**

Gained from Project Imagine, it gave him mind-related powers.

* Mind Control - A basic ability where he can control one's mind and the victim follows his exact orders. Victims that are being controlled can be seen when their eyes turn pastel red. Furthermore, he can speak through the victim.
	+ Consensus - A sub-ability where he controls by persuasion/consent through guilt or empathy. It is akin to hypnotism, using suggestive thoughts. Such as when he tries to control Lilia and convince her to attack Jungwoo and his friends. In addition victims' actions are completely of their own will as Seonghyeon only encourages it.
	+ Mind Reading - An ability where he can read people's current thoughts and past memories.
	+ Mind Web - A stronger version of mind control. He can control multiple people (at least six) to follow his orders. When in use, other abilities cannot be used.
* Telepathy - An ability where he can talk to people directly to the mind. He can also talk without his presence being very close to the target. However, he can place his appearance in the vicinity of his target as if they are talking to him. In addition, his telepathy can have an illusion effect as time moves slow for the target's consciousness. For example, Jungwoo talked with him for around 5 minutes but it had been an hour or thirty minutes passed.

**Weaknesses**

* If someone attacks his body while mind controlling someone, it interrupts and staggers his ability. Such as when Bongchun uses Bong Mini to release tear gas against him.
* He can not read people's minds if the enemy is a successful Project Imagine User.
* Being an unsuccessful model of the Twins, he has only three years to live.

* In the Super String mobile game:
	+ His mask is an item in the game.
	+ His powers are referenced in his skills like mind web.
	+ He is voiced by voice actor, *"Seungkwan Kim."*
* According to Dongwoo Han , he was originally to die but changed due to the reader's opinion.
* He had explain he had only three years to live. Terror Man events are around three years. It is highly possible he had died by the time Terror Vs. Revival had started. However, there could be explanations if he had survived and showed up in future Superstring works. Such as being healed by Jungwoo Min by using the Tardigrade ability.
