Jung Hoseok

.

**Jung Hoseok** is a main character in Fighter.

## Description

#### Appearance

Hoseok is an attractive young man with tanned skin and short dark hair. He is notable for his sharp jawline and nose, as well as his eyes that are both large and sharp. He is around 6'1, with a lithe build, broad shoulders, and strong thighs. He has a small tattoo on his Achilles' Heel.

His style is seen to be comfortable yet unique during the day with most of his match looks sharing the same extravagant appearance as most fighters of the club. He tends to wear a lot of heavy eye make up and is often seen sporting injuries or some sort of band aid or bandage.

#### Personality

Hoseok is a quiet and aloof young man, who verges on stoic at times. He is driven and hard working, often staying at the club far later than most people would. Despite the iron gripped way he instructs the other members of the club, he is also known to have a softness that he does not share with many people. He can be stubborn and often hyperfixates on a task to the point where he might forget to eat or sleep properly.

Though many members of the club see him as a leader and victor, Hoseok has a great deal of insecurity over things ranging from his physical prowess, his appearance, and his place in the club. One of his greatest fears is losing the one place he feels at home in and that is the very reason why he has taken to helping run the club. He can be rather curt and difficult to deal with when it comes to running the club, often putting himself in the bad graces of many of the people there due to how immovable he can be.

## Biography

#### Background

Born in Gwangju, on 940218, Hoseok only stayed there until he was four years old. His family, consisting of him and his parents, moved to Seoul not longer after his fourth birthday. His parents had believed they would find success in Seoul but struggled to make ends meet, both working many hours during the day and leaving Hoseok alone for those hours. When the money did not come in in ways that left them satisfied, the pair decided to take out loans to help make ends meet. This landed them in the bad graces of the wrong kinds of people.

When Hoseok was a pre-teen, his mother left their family, running from the debts she and his father had accumulated. A few years later, his mother would disappear too. Hoseok would then have to shoulder the debts, with no job and no income, he eventually found the club and secured a way to pay back the money. He has continued to work at the club ever since.

## Relationships

#### Hwang Minhyun

The two met when Minhyun joined the club. At first they were merely friends, sometimes fighting in matches against each other. This lead to them spending more time training, often going until late at night. These late night training sessions led to their growing intimacy and soon, the two began sleeping with each other. This relationship has continued well into present day and though they have not put a label on it, they often act like they are exclusive.

#### Kim Namjoon

Namjoon joined the club a few years after Hoseok and with them both being born in '94, Hoseok had thought they would be friends. This quickly proved to be the wrong assumption when it became apparent that Namjoon was jealous of Hoseok's success. This soured their relationship to the point that they have become bitter rivals, with their matches against each other typically drawing in larger audiences based on how brutal they are.

#### Jeon Jungkook

Hoseok met Jungkook when he first joined the club but otherwise has no opinion of the club's new ring boy.
