*// HERE LIES THE YE OLD PLOT AND CHARACTERS MASTERLIST - the den \\*
read like an action movie announcer: in a world where everyone has the curiosity but no one has the bravery to do stupid stunts, 5 young men risk their sanity and their lives to do it all so you don’t have to. and the best part? T H E Y F I L M I T. early 2020 when everyone was banished to the inside of their homes, a group of 20-somethings come together to form a social media house alliance centered around few things: pranks, stunts, and having a good time. they document their lives on youtube and tiktok and in the near year since they have amassed quite a following as THE IDIOT DEN.
SEASON 2: EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED.
running on chaos and youtube views, the idiot den was bound to fizzle out. and when their personal lives descend into chaos, the fame loses. siwon, the ringleader and mastermind behind the whole project, was given a piece of his father’s company to run. his father, impressed with his achievements, chose him over his older brothers. it was an offer that siwon couldn’t refuse. with a heavy heart, he chose his family over the den. siwon still donates what he can to production and checks in with daehwi on the business front, but is no longer involved on camera. arin, to no one’s surprise, left the den as soon as he got famous enough. his modeling career took off and there’s even rumors that he’s casted in an upcoming netflix series. the den is happy to see him go. choi’s tumultuous relationship with his family came to a head when his older sibling abandoned everyone, leaving him to pick up the slack. he had to drop out of school and leave the den behind. where does that leave the rest of the idiots? scrambling. the responsibility of keeping the den afloat rested entirely on daehwi’s shoulders as the officially appointed ceo of idiot den enterprises courtesy of siwon. jaeyi insisted they would be fine continuing as normal, but the data didn’t lie. they needed to do something and fast. another youtube channel, focused on true crime, supernatural, and lost treasure exploration and investigations was rising up the ranks of most watched on youtube. in that, he took the opportunity. the idiot den has forged a partnership with trinity investigations, adding three new members to their videos and lending a hand with their investigations. they have released teasers and trailers of new videos, but haven’t released any official statement to the public. until today, that is.
*//CODENAME: THE BRAIN - FC: CHA EUNWOO
the class president what a successful king
grew up really broke his single mom owns a salon but she spends all her money drinking and partying so he’s kinda had to take care of himself
extremely disciplined bc he wants to make it and have a better life
refused to be on camera but doesn’t have a choice now
runs all of the social media accounts with siwon bc he can’t trust the others not to post pictures of their wangs or each others
accepted the opportunity bc it would look good on future resumes and the networking opportunity is amazing
a very nice chilled and relaxed guy
less prince charming more like the boy next door
wants to be a corporate lawyer but not the kind who keeps businesses out of jail like the kind that puts them in. so he triple majors in corporate law, international law, and economics. eat the rich
trying very hard not to crack under all the pressure with graduation coming up so he’s very on edge and stressed out
has a complex about not being as good of a leader as siwon was but will never ever show it
*//CODENAME: THE MASTERMIND - FC: LEE JUYEON
he/him, 22, straight? maybe not? would probably suck a wang for 100 bucks
what siwon gives in business ethics he lacks in creativity and material planning that’s where jaeyi comes in
jaeyi is an experienced trickster through and through ever since he was little he was pulling pranks on his siblings ( he has 6 ) and classmates each stunt out-performing the next
all of their ideas are drafted by him and approved by daehwi ( formerly siwon ) and he hates it bc daehwi is a stick in the mud
impulsive, reckless, wants to be famous and successful not only bc he grew up broke but really just bc he’s chasing notoriety he wants the world to know his name ( and jaeil’s he’s not completely selfish )
always having fun and looking for a joke or a good time, thinks he’s very funny, usually very chill but can take stuff too far
here for a good time not for a long time
super goofy just like his dad so he was the family comedian growing up and just made that into his personality like you know those people who talk like everything is a constant stand up special? yeah that’s jaeyi
can be very aggressive when he wants to be he grew up wrestling with jaeil and their older brothers
doesn’t even know what he majors in he just marked something random down on a piece of paper
a ceiling tile fell on him during his college tour so he got immediate acceptance and a full ride so his parents wouldn’t sue
didn’t worry even a little bit when the other members left he was going to get the den some views no matter what he had to do
upset at the new partnership daehwi made he feels like daehwi is making all the decisions without him
*//CODENAME: THE BODY - FC: LEE JUYEON
he/him, 22, unknown questioning he never even kissed
just call him jae he prefers it
literally just a body like no thoughts head completely
has no concern for his own well-being like at all
should not still be existing after all the stunts and pranks jaeyi and the boys have put him through
has broken too many bones to count
has absolutely zero boundaries
he’s so dumb like actually so dumb and i love him
surprisingly really emotionally aware like he gives really really good advice and is a good person to talk to and an amazing listener
he’s the stunt man and works out constantly
a stoner and skateboarder
eats a lot but could be a chef if he wanted to bc he had to learn to cook for himself so he could keep up with as much as he eats on a budget
would not even be in college if he wasn’t a collegiate baseball player and the school gave him 3 tutors to make sure his homework is done and he passes
came into the group bc jaeyi wanted him to. he would do anything for his twin brother and for these 3 other boys who he now sees as brothers
was sad to see the others go but had absolutely no idea that the den was even in trouble
welcomed trinity investigations with open arms
*//CODENAME: THE PROFESSIONAL - FC: PARK JUNHEE
he/him, 25, doesn’t do labels he’s into everyone as long as they’re cool
adventurous and spontaneous, lives life on the edge.originally wanted to be an actor but got beat out by tom holland for spiderman or something idk he won’t talk about it
^ says he signed an NDA ( non-disclosure agreement ) but i think he’s just still upset cmxncxmcxnmcnxxcm
saved some producer’s kid from like falling out of a tree or something and parkour-ed down it so he got offered a job to be a stuntman
was a stunt man for a while but had to quit bc he’s mom’s bar was going bankrupt so he offered to work the bar as a manager for free
that’s where siwon met him as he was getting drunk with his friends and probably hitting on the bartender idk maybe it’s canon they hooked up who cares
you know that warning at the beginning of stuff that’s like “all stunts are done by professionals or under the supervision of professionals” yeah ty is that professional for idiot den
everyone’s big brother and confidant but cares about literally none of it
stays out of all the drama thinks its dumb but will place bets on who will win the fight and will instigate just to see arin get choked
if “ i don’t care ” was a person
hates authority and capitalism
an activist like actively will go out and protest stuff raise money for stuff
not afraid to get arrested and will in fact take the blame to keep everyone else out of jail even if he tells them he would sell them for .25 cents ( he secretly cares )
had a tagging phase in high school
very like ew stay away from me hates physical affection hates relationships but gets very attached to his people and his routine very easily
couldn’t care less about anything going on right now as long as he gets paid
*//CODENAME: THE INTERN - FC: CHOI SOOBIN
he/him, 20, unknown sexuality he don’t even know who he is as a person.
siwon saw him at a college event and was like he’s a mini me i have to have him. which worked out for kol bc he was already a big fan.
the boys ( except ty ) won’t let him do any stunts bc they don’t want him to break his face.
they WILL however prank him mercilessly.
he gets picked on by everyone almost as much as arin does but they do it out of love not out of hate.
ty is his half older brother. which is a fact they both recently found out through an idiot den dna test video. that’s right they had a live feed of finding out they were half siblings.
he wants to get close to ty but ty wants literally nothing to do with him and pretty much ignores him.
he idolizes daehwi and jaeyi.
he’s just a very nice wholesome guy with not much going on in his head.
still finding out who he is and is very experimental.
one day he’ll have a fake nose ring in the next he’s wearing a flower crown.
looking for his aesthetic and personality and future life goals
naive as hell like so inexperienced that he doesn’t know any better
kinda has a passion for music
kinda has a passion for writing
kinda has a passion for film
undecided ass major literally not a single idea of what he wants to do
burnt out gifted kid that’s like really realizing he’s burnt out you know? went so long being the smart talented kid that he got to college and is like ... what now
so wholesome literally the nicest guy ever i mean it
does anything and everything the den says like without question the smarter members literally have to steer him from all dangers he’s almost as bad as jae
when siwon left he promoted him to a full idiot instead of just an intern
actually gave daehwi the idea for the merge since he was watching one of trinity’s videos and talking about how one of them was in his class in preschool
