Description
Gaeul is a first-year high school student and a central supporting character in Viral Hit. She serves as the skilled video editor for the NewTube channel and holds the position of Vice President of the Yoo Hobin Company, a content creation group started by the protagonist, Yoo Hobin.
Gaeul is a girl with short, chin-length hair and bangs that hang slightly below her eyebrows. She has pale skin and typically wears light makeup, including pink blush and lip tint. Her signature look involves an oversized yellow jacket worn over her school uniform, and she is known to own a different yellow jacket for each day of the week. Her name, Gaeul, means autumn in Korean.
Gaeul has a distinctive personality, marked by a peculiar way of speaking that resembles that of an elderly man, a trait also exhibited by her father. She is often described as cute by her peers and has many admirers, but she is notably clueless when it comes to social situations, often failing to recognize when boys are trying to flirt with her. Despite her tough and confident exterior, she is not immune to fear or intimidation when faced with real threats, as seen when she becomes a target for bullies. She is deeply passionate about martial arts, possessing both theoretical knowledge and practical skill.
Gaeul's primary motivation is her involvement with Yoo Hobin and his channel. She develops a romantic crush on Hobin, though she actively tries to hide her feelings behind her blunt and mature manner of speaking. This leads to her viewing other girls close to Hobin, such as Rumi Yeo and Bomi Choi, as rivals for his affection. Her professional drive is to use her editing and martial arts expertise to help make Hobin’s channel successful.
Her role in the story is multifaceted. She is first brought into the group after leaving expert analytical comments on Hobin’s fight videos, showcasing her deep understanding of combat techniques. As the video editor, she is crucial to the channel's success, using her technical skills to enhance their content. She also operates as the "employed president" of Hobin's company, taking on significant organizational responsibilities.
Key relationships define much of her story. Besides her unspoken romantic interest in Yoo Hobin, she shares a mysterious connection with Hobin's mentor, Samdak. Gaeul is in possession of handwritten notebooks titled "Kenka Dokugaku" and unpublished training videos, suggesting a pre-existing and significant link to Samdak that hints at a deeper backstory. She lives alone with her father, who runs a dry cleaning business. Her relationships with other female characters are often competitive, particularly with Rumi Yeo and Bomi Choi, whom she sees as romantic rivals. She also has a confrontation with another girl named Han Gyeoul, whom she fights and defeats.
Gaeul is a highly capable fighter, holding a black belt in Taekwondo. Her fighting style incorporates a variety of techniques from both striking and grappling. Her known striking moves include the overhand punch and up-kick. Her grappling arsenal features several chokeholds and joint locks, such as the baseball bat choke, flying armbar, and triangle choke. She also possesses a unique defensive technique known as how to get hit without getting hurt. Her practical fighting ability is demonstrated when she successfully defends herself in a physical altercation, proving her expertise is not merely theoretical.
Throughout the series, Gaeul develops from a somewhat disconnected and bullied individual into an integral and empowered member of the team. Her role evolves from a commentator and editor to a key strategic and combative member of the Yoo Hobin Company, while her mysterious past and connection to Samdak continue to be a point of intrigue.
