* Falsely frame Jimin for Tadashi's murder, and falsely accuse him of physical assault

## Series Information

### Appearance (last):

***Serendipity***

After slaying Tadashi a few months prior, **Tae-moo** finds that the power doesn't bring him nearly as much joy as he'd hoped. His vanity and short-sightedness lead him to quickly turn his newly-conquered bloodlust into an uninhabitable scheme, to falsely frame Jimin for the crime, as well as falsely accuse Jimin of physical assault.

## **Personality and Traits**

Season 1 Tae-moo -- an arrogant, magisterial bully turned unhinged killer -- has now graduated into a full-blown psychopathic narcissist.

While he has been hiding behind the smokes and mirrors orchestrating and manipulating some of the events and planning more of his attacks, his role as the main antagonist becomes clearer by the end of the season finale. He is the *real* bully, worse than his group of friends as Tae-moo is shown to torture, bully and kill others for his own amusement and destroys and tortures Jimin to get him out of the way of taking over the throne. Tae-moo proves himself to be more manipulative and smarter puppet-master who fools both his friends. No matter how many times his schemes fail and he gets punished for it at the end, he is determined to defeat and destroy Jimin and evade karma for his crimes just so he can fulfill his bloodlust.

He is the one who ends up bringing eternal darkness and despair to the entire season ever since the moment he enters the screen and makes Jimin miserable and weak. He made sure to eliminate Tadashi (successfully so back in Season 1) and plunge Jimin’s entire world into hopelessness and despair. He *hates* Jimin with passion and wants to see him suffer and die for his own amusement and makes it a goal to ruin Jimin’s life. It’s clear he sees himself as the real victim and the star of the show and sees others as irrelevant and useless, including Jimin and kills Tadashi just because he “threatened” his place in the spotlight.

He is shown to be completely empty to the point he has no care or sympathy for anyone around him and doesn’t care why they do what they do but just wants to ruin their life because he can. He is a gleeful psychopath who seemingly had a dark past which made him this way, becomes obsessed with torturing and destroying Jimin who delivers justice and saves lives and wants to create chaos and destruction to benefit himself.

A huge part of his personality is pride. Tae-moo believes that *he* is superior to everyone around him and has a huge hatred for anyone he sees as lower than him and believes himself to be absolutely correct about everything, even if it means killing people for no reason and will do anything to protect his ego and power. Justified that he is a horrific upbringing, he acts very eager and excited whenever he kills and tortures someone or sees somebody else do it as if he is having fun at an amusement park and has a tendency to throw temper-tantrums when things don’t go his way because of Jimin ruining his plans. Tae-moo claims he has the same goals as Jimin and wants to help abuse victims like him, but in reality, he is just a greedy psychopath who just wants to kill people for fun and destroy Jimin for ruining his plan. He takes pleasure in making his victims suffer for his own amusement.

What he really is as he shows signs of being a clinical sociopath throughout the season. He is a tyrant who has no regard for human life and uses revenge as an excuse to commit crimes and murder people for fun, regardless if they are good or bad. Which shows him as a person who was born rotten from the beginning. Unlike Jimin who is also a weather forecaster (however the polar-opposite: genuinely kind-hearted and selfless, feels bad for others and tries to help them), Tae-moo is good at faking empathy or niceness to his victims but never actually feels them. He only tortures and kills those whom he deems weaker than him regardless of whether they are evil or innocent and always teams up with like-minded psychopaths like his friends to cause more chaos and destruction because he sees them as stronger to defeat the weaker. One of the most disturbing things about him, is his slasher smile. But whenever Tae-moo tortures his victims before killing them, he is eerily calm and enjoys seeing them suffer in their last breath.
