his detailed fantasy he was going on about with a childhood friends shoujo meet cute… i’m too lazy to find the clip of that live rn but like. i want his anime girl dreams to come true.

however he is an all-rounder and he is sooo shounen deuteragonist like he was made to be the initial “rival” that the protagonist quickly learns is not mean and scary and is just autistic and the protag then delights in discovering his gap moe as they forge a stronger friendship and gunwook becomes his ride or die even if they keep up their banter. like i just described like 20 shonen deuteragonists at minimum lmao. he’s like on the same team and he takes it the hardest when they experience the Big Failure at the end of season 1 and cries so hard but it only makes him more determined to take them to the top

he would also work so well in the student council archetype like. he’s already living it. anime girl gunwook would have a hime cut or a severe ponytail and a Reputation and also 500 plushies at home
