meet kim jongdae, twenty-two year old, chen's chicken's owner and professional procrastinator. son of the kim taejoon and kang seoyeon, the ceos of kim enterprises, it's easy to say that jongdae's had a pretty easy life, with everything easily in his grasp. jongdae's had a lot of jobs throughout this twenty two years of his life -- ranging from being a tour guide to an elementary school teacher ( well- attempting to. he got fired within one hour on the first day. ) currently, he's opened a new chain of fried chicken outlets called chen's chicken. don't be fooled though- jongdae doesn't actually do much work- his ever so trusty secretary butler babysitter oh sunghyun does pretty much everything. all jongdae's in charge is is signing the contracts and frolicking around the streets of seoul yelling 'chen's chicken is now open!' in that smooth, clear voice of his.
now- one might ask. why would his parents allow this? the truth is his parents gave up giving kim enterprises to jongdae a long time ago. graduating college with less-than-perfect scores and a ridiculously big grin on his face, his parents figured out that jongdae wasn't exactly the office worker his parents were. which is why they've given everything to jongdae's older sister hyeyeon instead of jongdae. jongdae tries to pretend that he doesn't really care- but face it. who wouldn't be a little sad if they well- everyone around them keeps rubbing into their face that hey, your sister got everything while you're stuck basically jobless except for that chicken restaurant you have?
jongdae is a pretty cocky kid. he's very stubborn, and extremely obstinate- no is never an answer for kim jongdae. he's not afraid to flaunt his wealth, and he doesn't really care about what others think of him, to be honest. he's pretty well built for a 'rich, pampered kid' though, working out at the gym to keep his looks. he's gotten into a few fights before, much to the horror of his parents, but he usually tries to keep his violent streak under wraps. he hides his horrible temper with his smooth words and his ability to talk his way out of any bad situation. jongdae has had meltdowns before, but rarely ever reveals his real self to others. jongdae likes to pretend that he's this loud, outgoing social butterfly for the sake of his reputation that he's worked so hard to maintain, instead of the real him, who doesn't mind a book or two when the time comes. he gets depressed easily, yes, and clubs and bars serve two purposes to him- to either pick up any cute guy, or to drink his heart out after something bad happens. that's kim jongdae for you.
