Are both U-Jin and Dak-Ho being threatened with Eunsung?
Nope! They are actually cult members serving as Eunsung's main bodyguards. They keep him in check, so that he cannot go off on his own. U-Jin and Dak-Ho are hired by the head of the cult, Ha-Neul - along with many others. At the moment, I have not fully mapped out the hierarchy but the two are slightly higher than the average cult member.
Their role in Coralia (the name of the idol group), is to ensure that the lyrics, the chereography and the tune propagandizes the cult's beliefs of the goddess, Soregujitsah (SO-RAY-GOO-JEET-SAH) - which is in fact, Eunsung's mom :'(.
Also - U-Jin and Dak-Ho come from two different eras within the cult: The Segunari era, and the Ha-Neul era. These eras are named based on who controlled the cult at the time.
So for U-Jin, he came at a time where the cult's practices were much tamer compared to dated eras such as the Yeolee era. This is because this was Eunsung's era!
Now you may be (rightfully) confused, but Segunari is Eunsung’s true, god-given name from his mother. Since it's considered very sacred in the cult, people just call him his earth name: Eunsung.
Anyhow, this era was where the cult became more of a social group, making the cult more welcoming to new members. However, when Eunsung started to rise to fame, the cult became a little possessive of him. It makes sense, considering that Eunsung was a walking treasure of gold. Knowing this, it made the cult prideful and ostentatious, which intrigued investors and sponsors worldwide.
But due to Eunsung being lenient and naive, he brought a wave of corruption into the cult. One of these corrupt officials had twins named U-Jin and U-Min. At the time, their job was to market Eunsung, and network with other clients; one of these clients was Ha-Neul. Hence, they decided to take down Eunsung in exchange for more money and profit.
In terms of Eunsung's relationship with U-Jin...well. U-Jin treats him a lot more harshly, and is unfortunately a major gaslighter when he's ready. I believe these actions stem from him being envious of Eunsung. Meanwhile to the fans, U-Jin is seen as Eunsung's #1 supportive best friend.
As for Dak-Ho, he is a peaceful, comforting aura for Eunsung. He's more of a listener than a talker, and will step in for Eunsung when U-Jin goes too far with his antics. In terms of when he came into Eunsung's life, Dak-Ho was one of the key members that took power away from him. He was an essential part of Ha-Neul's group, and his role at the time was to act as a fighter and executioner to those who opposed Ha-Neul's rule. But nowadays, Ha-Neul is super chill and just enjoys the simple things in life.
