I love Nam-gyu so much but I hate how badly people mischaracterise him, so here’s my personal take on him
🪷 - I’m still writing for Chloe! I just can’t find any good Nam-guy fanfics because the fandom is so dead ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )
♱ I don’t think Nam-gyu is a nasty incel who’s never experienced the touch of woman — If any think, I just think he’s a total loser
♱ Nam-gyu lived with his mum till he was twenty four, he told his friends it was “cheaper”. In reality, he’s a crybaby who can’t handle having roommates and sharing a shower with two other men
♱ He drinks long blacks thinking it makes him look sophisticated — Nam-gyu prefers strawberry matcha, he just thinks it’s too girly
♱ He loves alternative milks, despises dairy
♱ I personally think Nam-guy has been hospitalised from dehydration
♱ Nam-gyu’s self-esteem issues stemmed from his childhood. His dad left when he was five, so he didn’t have a male figure in his life. He was also a little chubby pre-puberty, so none of the girls really liked him
♱ Then he hit puberty and it wasn’t any better — He lost all the excess baby weight, but he gained horrible acne. Not just hormonal acne, either, like full on cystic acne
♱ He was also a little smelly and nobody told him
♱ Never showered after gym class because he had horrible back-acne and chest-acne. Not showering only made it worse, though
♱ I also think he had teeth problems for some reason
♱ Avid coffee drinker, hates energy drinks
♱ Despite everything, I don’t think Nam-gyu’s a virgin — I mean, come on, he’s almost thirty and works at a club 💔
♱ I do, however, think his first time was horrible. He wasn’t sober, his hands were by his side the entire time, and he left wearing his minecraft boxers he bought off of temu (temu victim)
♱ He ghosted the woman after the hookup, mainly because he was too scared of confrontation (and commitment)
♱ I think Nam-guy went to community college and got a bachelor’s degree in history (specifically modern history)
♱ Has an extremely low screen time, like he uses his phone a maximum of twenty minutes per day (daily sudoku puzzle, setting alarms, and checking the news)
♱ Nam-gyu is NOT a misogynist — Huge misconception. Nam-gyu has (in my au at least) a single mum who he idolises, he cannot imagine hating a woman purely because she is better at something than he is
♱ Worked at a library prior to being a club promoter. The pay was ass but he enjoyed the solitude
♱ Before participating in the games, Nam-gyu’s hair was LONG. He only cut it because one of the bouncers mistook him as a girl (it didn’t help that he has softer features)
♱ Has chapped lips, only uses unscented Nivea
♱ He suffered from eczema till his early teens
♱ His body care routine is just a bunch of unscented, non-inflammatory body lotions and body washes
♱ He owns the same pillow he’s had since the 8th grade — Refuses to get rid of it, it’s moulded his head perfectly
Not proofread!! I have a maths exam in like three days (,,╥﹏╥,,)
