PERSONALITY
There is a reason why Moonsoo has earned the alias of “Jekyll”. He has quite a drastic on-off switch to his personality. His off-work personality contrasts his work personality quite a bit. He is a friendly guy who likes to liven up an environment. He prefers to keep everybody in good spirits rather than allow the atmosphere to be bleak. The mistake people often make is to assume that this happy-go-lucky personality carries over to when he’s working as well. When he works, he is less focused on getting laughs and more on getting the work done. He believes in showing compassion and love, but that also comes with tough love. While on the job he can be stern to where it’s misleading because he sounds like a different person all together.
With all that said, Moonsoo isn’t one who prioritizes work over all other aspects of his life. He wants to be happy but growing up, his happiness came from validation that he received through being a good student. Only now he strives to be a good agent, but he feels as though being a handler is not enough.
BIOGRAPHY
Let’s talk about Yoo Moonsoo. He spent fifteen years at KIS (Korea International School). He’s something of a story teller and most of his stories will drivel back to some memory he had during his fifteen years at KIS. He achieved a lot within his school career. He joined a mock U.N. club and beat out many other kids to represent Korea. He was the striker on his football team. And in between, he had the type of transcript that got him an acceptance letter to Oxford. But then that’s where he came to the first brick wall in his life. He knew that he was meant to do something that would change the world but he didn’t know how.
He stared at course catalogs and pondered what type of academic study would facilitate in bringing his dream to fruition. More accurately, he needed a realistic goal to help him reach his dream. So here was a graduate who everybody knew was brilliant and was brimming with potential. The problem was using that potential to do something. Anything.
Well the ‘anything’ he chose was going to waste that potential, and everybody knew it. As a last minute decision, he chose to enroll in a private university in Korea under the school of Statistics. Sure, he was gifted with a good work ethic and a mind that was good with sorting information. But this wasn’t the direction others, or himself, saw him in.
Little did everybody know that it was exactly what propelled him towards his dream. All it took was one sketchy statistic professor getting caught up in something he shouldn’t have, a knight who sat in at the lecture, and Moonsoo running his mouth with something incredibly clever to catch some attention. His name was scribbled down in this knight’s notebook. After quite a long time when the knight finished her mission, she came back for Moonsoo.
In some ways he kept impressing. He applied to programs that took him abroad or got him into research projects. He spent his time well but still wasn’t completely satisfied with himself, and it showed. He could’ve graduated early with his credits, yet he didn’t because he kept trying to search for something that meant something to him. When he was recruited into the Kingsman organization, he finally found a sense of fulfillment, as if this was the purpose he was meant to serve.
Just like that he graduated early and became a Spec Ops field agent at the age of 23. At the age of 27, the mission that he was sure would look great in his records ruined him. One henchman swung a crowbar directly at his knee before his partner had the chance to shoot. The doctors had to replace his knee by implanting metal parts to make up for the bones that were broken. It took him a year to deal with not only the physical but mental trauma from that mission. Even then he wasn’t up to the same capacity he was before. This was the second brick wall in his life.
He had to adapt to his new situation in order to plan for the future. With four years into the organization already, he could admit seeing himself invest six more. His main goal by then was to be promoted to a knight. The first step was to become a handler since a knight needed to have experience in various fields.
Fast forward five years and he never quite moved past step one. To say that he had a knack for knowing how to manage people through situations was an understatement. He was almost gifted at this. But it couldn’t be helped when field agents were attached to their other handlers or couldn’t warm up to him.
Despite his success, the down falls still made him feel like he wasn’t contributing enough. He could run again and regain a range of motion that he thought he lost. When trials for knighthood came around, he still failed because of his knee.
But Moonsoo got up from that and refused to let himself run into the third brick wall in his life.
“I’ll just get it next time,” he always tells people. After all, he’s a story teller, and this is where the story’s starting to get good.
