And in the photo, Seo Baek-han… had his sunglasses perched on his head, squinting with one eye. It didn’t seem like he was winking on purpose; it looked like he was involuntarily squinting because of the sunlight. It was clear he hadn’t bothered with angles or anything to make the selfie look good, but it was as stylish as a professional photoshoot. Rather, his free-spiritedness brought out his charm even more.
Joo Tae-hyun scrutinized it for so long, as if he could identify every difference if the photo appeared in a “spot the difference” game, before scrolling down a bit more.
The second photo showed Seo Baek-han with his arm around Assemblyman Seo’s shoulders. Seo Baek-han was wearing a mischievous smile, with only one corner of his mouth raised. It was the same expression he had when he smiled at me at the concert, but he looked a little younger.
By the way, how old was he in this photo? The moment I thought that even Seo Baek-han, who always seemed so mature, had a young age like me, my heart strangely stirred. Even though I knew I wasn’t even in this world back then, I wanted to see what it was like when his parents called him “baby.”

Hey, someone bring that GIF of the guy giving a thumbs up to the camera!
Ugh, Seo Baek-han, you could sell enzymes or do group purchases for a living, and it would still be okay. You have the face for it.
➥Sell what? He doesn’t have to do anything. I’ll support Baek-han.
How is it possible that Seo Baek-han’s name is Seo Baek-han???
Ugh, we should be praising the faces of children in articles about our grateful ancestors who protected the country. The state of this nation is doing so well. Seo Baek-han, I love you, you know?
When I clicked on the comment section, it was full of stories about the last photo.
Seeing the comments full of praise for Seo Baek-han made me feel good. So this is why people bother reading other people’s comments. Knowing that I wasn’t the only one staring intently at the photos made me feel, well, relieved. It made me feel like I wasn’t the only weird one.
With a satisfied expression, Joo Tae-hyun carefully read the comments, and when he found content that seemed to perfectly capture his own feelings, he pressed the “recommend” button next to it. He accidentally canceled it by pressing it twice, so after that, he carefully pressed it only once. Before he knew it, he was lining up hearts in a row.
As Joo Tae-hyun scrolled through the news section, he started to get a little bored as similar articles kept repeating. I should have asked Seo Baek-han if he used social media. Unfortunately, Seo Baek-han’s profile didn’t have any social media accounts linked. It was to be expected. He was still just the son of a famous person, and his official status was that of an ordinary student.
Pondering, I returned to the portal site. But when I went to the bottom of the news section, a web page post with a rather provocative title caught my eye.
Enjoyable Fangirling, BanDeNet🐰🐉
If you marry Seo Baek-han, you’ll have 500 million mothers-in-law.
Marrying Seo Baek-han?
I hadn’t even considered this, so I was startled and immediately clicked on it.
Well… it’s a bit unusual that my Hyungs and noonas are still single. From what I’ve heard from my family, people in political and business circles get engaged and married quickly. So Seo Baek-han might already have someone he’s going to marry. His Highness Second Prince got married at twenty-three or twenty-four, I think…
Was Seo Baek-han wearing a ring? I tried to picture his left hand, but I couldn’t remember anything specific. I just remembered that his hands were incredibly large, and he used those large hands to support the small table of refreshments for me.
“Ugh.”
Joo Tae-hyun closed his eyes tightly and reopened them to shake off the distracting thoughts, then reread the post.

Unreleased pic. A minor drinking coffee looks so good.
First of all, I live in Pyongyang, but I don’t know the exact population of Pyongyang.
I’ll just say it’s roughly 500 million.
Because it sounds cool.
It’s true that 500 million is wrong, so you’re right. But I won’t accept any rebuttals.

Look at this face of a nineteen-year-old this year.
(Photo.jpg)
What can I say about his physique…
(Photo.jpg)
I thought he was visiting his high school teacher on Teacher’s Day.
Or that Pyongyang University created a student teaching program in the Trait/Phenotype department. Nope.
Just a photo with his classmates.
Seo Baek-han is only nineteen, but he’s graduating early from Pyongyang University soon.
(Photo.jpg)
He didn’t just graduate from university early.
Seo Baek-han also entered and graduated early from science high school.
In other words, he finished elementary school and then conquered science high school in two years.
Early? Admission? Graduation? Such things exist?
He did it not just once, but multiple times, so his nickname among fans is Baek-han Baek-han.
If you shout “Baek-han Baek-han” before taking a test, it feels like you’ll pass, right? Or not.
(Photo.jpg)
His family?
If you’re Korean, you probably have a patriotic biographical dictionary of Liberation Day goods at home…
Open it to the middle.
Look for the “S” section.
Ah, yes, there’s Seo Baek-han’s grandfather~
The explanation is long, right? Yeah, his contribution was so high.
(Photo.jpg)
But??? Was only Seo Baek-han’s great-grandfather a god?
Nope. His great-grandfather was a genius doctor who dedicated his life to medical research.
Some of the free vaccines you get were made by Seo Baek-han’s great-grandfather.
His grandfather was also a doctor like his great-grandfather and then became a member of the National Assembly. The number of papers Seo Baek-han’s grandfather wrote still hasn’t been broken.
So Seo Baek-han’s other nickname is God God God Satgat.
The reason his father’s position is Sat is because Seo Baek-han’s father, who is currently in office, sometimes makes mistakes.
In that case, we have to temporarily remove the god hat. So it’s God God God Satgat.

Honestly, even if Seo Baek-han looked like a burst dumpling on the street, the citizens of Pyongyang would have adored him.
Even if Seo Baek-han was stupid, they would have said, “Oh, it’s okay if our kid isn’t good at studying!”
(Photo.jpg)
Why???
Because, as mentioned above, his great-grandfather is Seo Je-jun, his great-grandfather is Seo Gwang-ho, his grandfather is Seo Sun-woo, and his father is Seo Hong-gyu!
But what about Seo Baek-han’s mother?? It’s Ahn Ye-seon.
Yes, she’s also from Pyongyang.
She’s from the Ahn family that used to cut off the heads of the Japanese during the Japanese colonial period.
Both families are descendants of independence activists, royal blood.
Holy bone of holy bone from Pyongyang.
(Photo.jpg)
But our kid looks like this…
How can we not stan him?
Three-line summary:
No matter who Seo Baek-han marries,
500 million Pyongyang citizens will be watching you.
Keep that in mind.
“Wow…”
Seo Baek-han was loved by far more people than I had imagined. So much so that I couldn’t understand the disapproving reactions his family had shown even for a moment yesterday.
Besides, he still has fans even though he’s just an ordinary student, and they even give him nicknames? Joo Tae-hyun checked the message Seo Baek-han had sent him once again. Maybe it’s lucky that I received a reply. Hyung might be really looking out for me…
I was a little proud to have become friends… no, acquaintances with someone like Seo Baek-han. Joo Tae-hyun wondered what would come up if he searched for his own name. Of course, there wouldn’t be any posts written by Seo Baek-han’s fans… But since Seo Baek-han might have searched for my name, I was curious about what he had found and read.
