Re-propaganda time!! (Reposting from Round 1) This is joint masterpiece by me and the wise and lovely @saurberry
So I know SHJ doesn't look like he'd be an omega - 198cm tall blond CEO stereotype of a man that he is (or seems to be when we first get to know him).
But therein lies his tragedy.
Because clearly he is one of those omegas who didn't present and would be a 'null' for most of the series, and only start presenting after the climax/ending of the novel.
Like this is word-of-god canon, that the reason SHJ didn't feel inclined to sex or romance during most of the duration of the novel (until he met Yoojin (his alpha)) was because he could subconciously feel the chains of CM's contract constraining him.
In omegaverse, surely this would manifest as him never feeling comfortable or safe enough to manifest his second gender. Which is a trope that is more usually found with omegas instead of alphas. So he goes through life in all the omegaverse worlds as an unpresented null who 'publicly presents' as whichever gender is most advantageous for him in that society.
Now comes a few of the actual omega traits he displays in canon:
"I was always domestic, just didn't have a family before" (Note: these are actual canon words that he confesses in canon eventually)
He is forced to be alpha male by circumstances, but he wants to be the world's most ultra promax housewife meow meow (🛐 @saurberry) when allowed to live his best life. He knits for Yoojin, cooks for Yoojin and the kids, as a gift only asks the kids for better kitchen tools because 'Han Yoojin-gun is overworking him day and night in the kitchen sob sob'
He steals and keeps random items from Yoojin / Yoojin's house in his inventory at all times (to sniff??? to remind himself of his alpha???). Including a spatula, laundry basket, i think there was a mug as well? Note he also always carries a few yarns of the pink yarn~ that was Yoojin's very first gift to him. And uses it to make things for Yoojin.
HE IS CANONICALLY THE PRINCESS OF THE HJYJ DUO!! They joke about Yoojin being the princess to be rescued in their early emotionally shallow era, but when things get real - SHJ is the princess and Yoojin is the prince!!! SHJ wants to be YJ's princess, but isn't sure if he is and then the climax of the novel involves Yoojin affirming that HJ is his princess!!! This is not an exaggeration. "I have come to save you, my princess!" <- actual canon quote from Yoojin to Hyunjae
After a Certain Point in the Side Stories, he starts actively calling himself Han Yoojin's (61st) WIFE. Including in front of people who are not Yoojin. (Yoojin, his alpha, unfortunately has a harem 😔) Note: the word he uses for himself is the feminine gendered word for spouse, not a gender-neutral term. It's WIFE and he is very clear about that. I don't think he calls himself Yoojin's husband even once.
He actively wants and desires to be pampered! His bucket list items include sleeping on Song Taewon's (his other alpha) and Han Yoojin's arm pillows. Yes, this is indeed canon. (Bucketlist Extra)
In conclusion: omega. Clearly he's an omega. Yoojin giving birth to all those kids is just that world's first known instance of alphapreg. ☺️ (Or it can be omega x omega. I would like 2k26 to be the year of omeguri)
Let us not discriminate against too tall and too big-dicked omegas! Vote omega SHJ today!
