Kim Namjoon image

**Kim Namjoon** is a main antagonist in *Pilot AU.* He is an artist in Upper Seoul, known for having his works primarily displayed in the Art Gallery owned by First Lady Jiyeon. He is also a socialist who attends many Galas and is friends with many other wealthy Elites such as the residents his age from the Park and Cho families. He believes himself to be a close friend to Hoseok too.

He holds the deeds to own Jungkook as well as being the nephew to Jiyeon and President Kim.

## Relationships

### Jung Hoseok

> I know who you are, Hoseok, try and hide it from me but you can’t.
>
> **Namjoon**, on Hoseok's 29th Birthday

Thinking of Hoseok as his best friend, Namjoon has not let the other escape his clutches. He often invites himself over to Hoseok's home with no prior warning, gets within his space, and seemingly has no respect for Hoseok's wants, needs and feelings. He believes that he knows Hoseok better than most people, often alluding to the fact that he does not believe Hoseok's relationship with Jieun to be real as he knows how Hoseok *really* feels, going so far as to spread misinformation about Hoseok's personality. He also believes that it is his responsibility to not on rein Hoseok in but to enforce Elite attitudes and society onto him. It is with this attitude that he provided Hoseok with a slave — Jungkook — for his 29th birthday.

### Jeon Jungkook

> Master. That is what I am to you now. Your master.
>
> **Namjoon**, upon purchasing Jungkook

The two first met at Byeol Auction House where Namjoon purchased Jungkook for a record breaking one billion won; his main intention for doing so was to gift Jungkook to Hoseok as a birthday gift. Seeing Jungkook as anything but human, Namjoon brought the boy back to his home so he could use him in an art project — in doing so, he drugged and restrained Jungkook, only providing him with water through an IV for the three days in which he spent create a sculpture that would later be displayed in Jiyeon's art gallery. This event left Jungkook deeply traumatised — to the point where he suffers panic attacks from seeing the man — and angry enough to add Namjoon to his list of people he wishes to kill for revenge. Namjoon is unaware of this, still seeing Jungkook as *his* art doll.

### Kim Jiyeon

Namjoon adores the woman, believing her to be better than his mother. Fueling his artistic abilities, Jiyeon displays Namjoon's art pieces within her gallery. She also sponsors his artwork, providing him with money, materials and studio space should he need it. She was the one to purchase his current apartment and many of the art pieces within it that are not his own. A relationship that begun when Namjoon was a toddler, he believes they are close and that she genuinely feels great joy when it comes to his art, unaware of her motives.

### President Kim

Treated as though he were the man's son, Namjoon looks up to and admires President Kim. He cannot fathom how anyone could be against the man and his regime, believing those who protest in The Fringe to be unable to see the good he has done. Though he does not come into contact with President Kim as much as he would like, the man often sends him large sums of money to pour into auction houses, namely Byeol Auction House, to avoid showing favouritism.
