Some facts about my AU, mostly In-ho's side of it... (Part 1)
Okay so hear me out, because is it just me, or does it feel like Gwi-ma (the demon king from Kpop Demon Hunters) and Hwang In-ho (the Frontman from Squid Game) have more in common than just the same actor (Lee Byung-hun)
Okay so this is me yip yapping about my AU, and maybe try and show how they are similar...
In-ho after his wife died blamed those people that wanted to continue the game, especially when he likely wanted to get out as soon as he had enough to help his wife, now in my AU at this time, Gwi-ma was more docile and wasn't as angry and upset with everyone. But when he got back it was already too late, so he blamed everyone, just not the games... And I think being Gwi-ma helped channel some of that anger, even though he lashed out at demons that may, or may not have been with him in the games at the time and both seem to have some kind of anger towards humans, In-ho's is from losing his wife, and Gwi-ma's is not mentioned, but I feel like it should be explained.
For In-ho the only two people he felt as he could trust was his little brother, Jun-ho, but decided to push him away as a means to protect him. And The Recruiter, Gong-mae (That is his name for my AU, but if you have another name I won't judge, that is just the name I picked for him), which for me could be why he picked Gong-mae to be the one to recruit people for the games, almost for a means of revenge in a way.
Gong-mae is well aware of the existence of demons, but isn't afraid of them as he is a Wither Storm type of infection, meaning he was born with it, so the demons are more scared of him and usually try to avoid him, and he has been in the demon realm, so him and Jinu have met, both deciding they don't like each other lol, but Jinu seeing him in the human realm doesn't realize who it is as in the demon realm, Gong-mae is in his infection form, a tall four-leg walking tuxedo cat with strangely glowing green eyes.
Now the reasons for Gong-mae to go to the demon realm is to help his friend, usually seen pacing in front of the fire, eyes glaring at all the other demons, especially the ones that fail to kill the demon hunters, but also to protect In-ho as he doesn't want to risk anyone knowing the truth about things.
The demons meanwhile are clueless to what their king does half of the time, too scared to go out of the demon realm, especially as they know about the infected people, or animals running around there, plus the hunters.
Meanwhile the demon hunters are just as clueless about the games, but also clueless to the fact that there are creature more dangerous, more hostile than the demons.
Also in my AU, there are males born with tr demon hunter DNA, just they are more rare and usually not accepted by other hunters, which the demons take full advantage of. One of my OC, Sung's mother was a hunter, and let's say Sung and Rumi have a bit in common, both of them falling in love with a demon. Also Tae's family was known for falling in love with demons, so the demon DNA is also pretty much wiped out.
In-ho knows about Tae and Sung's relationship, but chooses not to get involved as he can't control Tae, so why bother? Right?
Anyways that's all I can come up with, so if you have any ideas of your own feel free to let me know.
