ROLLING THUNDER!
—Han Gyeoul
Han Gyeoul is a recurring character in How to Fight/Viral Hit.
Appearance[]
A pale, thin woman, with long, straight pink hair, and brown eyes, often wearing makeup.
Personality[]
Her actual personality is completely different, Gyeoul is a person who wants things to always go her way, and she will manipulate others in order to achieve that. She likes causing chaos for no apparent reason, impulsively provoking fights between others and watching in enjoyment. She's a very self-indulgent person who has a strong need to be liked and always be part of an exciting activity, she often guilt trips and manipulates Wangguk into doing stuff that satisfies her materialistic wants or just her amusement, because she knows his weakness. Gyeoul is self centered and arrogant, and is the type to act out when things don't go the way she wants them to. Seongjun notes that even he can't control her, and that she's a complete psycho.
If anyone disagrees with Gyeoul or calls her out on her behavior she will take it personally. She often overreacts to any criticism coming her way, having developed a habit of falsely exposing people as revenge for such petty reasons. Rumi also noted that she had no self confidence if she has to play with people's feelings to feel loved.
History[]
Background[]
In her backstory, Han Gyeoul was a normal kid. She often spent time with her brother who liked taking photographs, in order to not have to see the violent environment at home. Her mother always rejected getting her photographs taken, this was because her face was always swollen after getting beaten up by her husband, Gyeoul and Wangguk's father. Despite getting regularly abused, she still had feelings for her husband and felt sorry for him. Her resolve didn't last too long as at one point, she committed suicide, leaving her children to find her dead body. Gyeoul was not old enough to understand, and was curious. This left Wangguk traumatized, and wishing that Gyeoul's brain represses that memory.
Her brother in anger had planned to kill their father but later refrained from doing so as he didn't want to take away Gyeoul's father too when she had already lost her mother at such a young age. He regretted this decision when one day, he came home from school to see his sister's swollen face as a result of getting beaten up in the same way their mother was by their father. This treatment led Gyeoul to start thinking that she should end up like her mother. In anger, her brother assaulted their father with a hammer. This led to him getting sentenced to 6 years in prison, leaving Gyeoul all alone.
While her brother was trying his hardest to survive in prison, Gyeoul didn't have anyone and had no idea how to take care of herself, much less going to visit her brother on her own. Her classmates in elementary school didn't believe her when she said that she had a family. This loneliness caused her mental condition to worsen, and she started developing an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder where she would hoard trash to fill the space left from her family.
Wangguk gets released 2 years on parole, only to find Gyeoul sitting on a pile of trash, completely neglected and unable to take care of herself. Gyeoul gets angry at him for leaving her and breaks down in tears. He realized that he didn't think of what his sister could've been through all on her own, so from that day he swore to serve as her 'prisoner'.
This did make Gyeoul happier, but it didn't fix her mental condition, making her feel more entitled and hedonistic, because her brother would tolerate anything from her.
Main story[]
Years later, her and her brother started a NewTube channel under Seongjun's guidance. She was the face of their channel named "OnePunchTV". They dug up false dirt on popular influencers so that she could call them out on their channel and garner a lot of views. After, Yeo Rumi called Han Gyeoul out on her manipulative toxic behavior and her insecure personality, which made her deeply upset. Despite Wangguk's request, Gyeoul continued to falsely accuse Yeo Rumi of selling CP and having engaged in compensated dating in middle school. She started a witch hunt on the popular beauty newtuber which made Yoo Hobin take a stand and expose "OnePunchTV" and it's shady working. A heated fight occurred between Han Wangguk and Yoo Hobin where the latter somehow managed to defeat the former. While the fight was streaming, Gyeoul was rushing to interrupt it but was stopped by Gaeul, who she then fights and loses to.
