Junsu Lee

## Junsu Lee 준수 이

**June Lee** or **Lee Jun-Soo** was a senior at Sunny High and is a member of the Humming Bird Crew. He was held back from entering university because during his senior year, he put his efforts into training for races rather than studying for his exams.

## Appearance

June is a young man with short brown hair and brown eyes. He does not tend to wear flashy clothes. According to the Punk Prince fan club, both him and Dom were more like squids in comparison to "their princes".

## Personality

June is one of the more level-headed members of the Humming Bird Crew. He is generally polite and kind, and does not fight as much as the others. However, he will always support his friends, as shown when he supported Minu in the race with TJ and was willing to get kicked out of the Zephyrus Crew with him. He sometimes feels as if he is useless, especially when he couldn't lead the team during the race with Tarantula. Because he is in a different grade than the other members of the crew, he often misses out on news. He feels like a deadweight to the crew, not able to contribute to the success of the team, but he works just as hard as everyone else during training to be more useful to the team.

## Synopsis

* Introduction Arc

When the Zephyrus Crew gathers at the park one evening, Junsu wonders if Jahyeon Jo would show up for the race and Minu Yun says they would just have to wait and see. Taejin Kim arrives wondering if his opponent had chickened out, but Jahyeon arrives soon after. Junsu introduces himself and explains the mechanics and the route of the race, informing them he would be following behind to film. Taejin and Jahyeon take their place at the starting line.

When the cog hits the ground, the two are off and the race begins. Taejin bumps into a traffic cone sending it towards Jahyeon, who skillfully evades it and though Junsu calls him out, Taejin passes it off as a mistake. As they approach a sharp turn, Junsu is shocked at how Jahyeon skillfully drifts along the turn, securing his lead in the race. A downhill is approaching, and they ignore his shouts for them to slow down. Jahyeon speeds downhill and shifts his bike to skid at the bottom and continues. Taejin follows suit but he is unable to control his bike and crashes. Junsu rushes to Taejin, but he is unable to continue the race - his body bruised and blood seeping out from his forehead. He helps Taejin back to the park where the other members are waiting.

A crew meeting is called one night and when Minu arrives, Junsu is one of many who witness him immediately head for Taejin and punch him in the face. The latter is quick to recover and demands to know what his problem is. Minu tells Taejin and his friends to stop giving the crew a bad name and to leave. He surprised with Minu's order and when the other brings up something involving Jahyeon, Taejin insists he had not started he fight. Taejin's face turns serious before telling Minu it is he who should leave.
The members start speaking out against Minu's recent actions and Junsu tries to defend him, telling the others to stop saying crap. Minu suddenly proposes a race to decide who stays and who leaves and Taejin agrees. He volunteers himself to race on Minu's team, telling his junior he couldn't possibly take on three people alone. The match is set and a 2 versus 3 is on the way.
Knowing they are at a disadvantage, Junsu visits Jahyeon against Minu's wishes. He explains the situation and asks his junior for help in the race but is refused. He leaves, telling him where the race would take place if he cared to show up.

## History

After their win against Tarantula Crew, Sungho's investors urged him to rattle up the competition because the bets were getting "predictable". It is implied that he hired thugs to "take care" of the Hummingbirds. After a night of training alone, June was confronted by the hired thugs and was badly beaten. The encounter resulted in a injured arm, bruising all over his body, and a busted bike. He kept his injuries hidden from his friends, not returning to school saying he was down with a cold.

He went completely off grid and missed the beach trip with the rest of the crew. After the trip, the boys and Shelly went to his house to check up on him where they find out about his assault. His mother was not aware that his injuries were sustained from an assault and thought that they were from a biking accident.

## Skills

High stamina - June built up his stamina from jogging daily for the past year. He seems to be on par with Dom in terms of endurance.

Sprint - Training riding up hill helped June build up a lot of power. During races, he is often the wind breaker, allowing for his crew to slip stream behind him and conserve their energy for the final leg of the race.

With this characteristics, June possesses the ideal requirements of a prestigious domestique. These are riders that have the only duty to protect and lead their captain during the race. While they often do not get the earned attention, their work is very important and essential for every success of a pro cyclist.

## The Bike

June rides what it seems to be a Gios Compact Pro frame made of steel out of Columbus special tubing. Contrary to many cyclists in the series, June rides a geared bike, enabling him to shift while riding.

## Relationships

### **Heri**

Heri is June's girlfriend. They are pretty quiet about their relationship, although they have gone on a few dates with each other. After high school, due to failing his exams to enter a good university, he started working at her bike shop and was even seen handling basic repairs on his own.

### **Minu Yoon**

Minu is June's best friend. June was one of the major members of the Zephyrus Crew, a biking group that Minu started. He was the closest to Minu in the beginning, and was willing to get kicked out of the Zephyrus Crew with him.
