hwoarang

He is a character from Tekken series. Hwoarang was drafted into the military back in his homeland of Korea and was assigned to a special operations division. Although his successes in various missions were highly regarded along with his prowess at Tae Kwon Do and combat techniques, his penchant for disobeying rules and orders gave his senior officers more than a few headaches. Hwoarang was uninterested in military life and felt a strange emptiness within him. He longingly recalled the days of hustling money in street fights and the rush he experienced from hand-to-hand combat. He often thought of one fight in particular - the fight against Jin Kazama. These longings could not be quelled by the military. One day, Hwoarang found out about the announcement of the next Tournament. Hwoarang’s blood stirred. He would defeat Jin, Heihachi Mishima, and anyone else who dared to challenge him to claim the Mishima Zaibatsu. Filled with excitement he hasn’t felt in years, Hwoarang slipped out from the military base and headed for the Tournament.

It's a korean drama where six hot guys fight and laugh and dance and have showers that make everyone go crazy. To be honest, most people watch it because of BTS's V and his cute laugh that appears once in a while. It's a very nice series though and the 6 males there are hot af. Bless whoever made this cast.

Me: hey, this is the guy that's on that series hwarang, Hyungsik.

Non-kpop/kdrama friend: I know.

Me: how?

Non-kpop/kdrama friend: I stalked the whole cast after discovering V was in it.
