Yoo In-ho (Male/ 53)
A famous artist that is sadly killed by someone close
He breaks away from the common notion that artists don’t know how to manage money. He is an artist that is good at investment and his assets are worth over 25 million dollars. However, he is not very different from the type of person you would imagine to be an artist. He was born sensitive and highly unique. He doesn’t even like his family members to come within certain boundaries. His sense of hearing is especially sensitive and his bedroom is completely soundproof. Even when he was screaming for help from an anaphylaxis shock caused by sleeping pills, no one could hear him. He even has a herniated disc, which made it hard for him to come out of the room for help. So, he had no choice but to die lonely in his room.
