Appearance

Among the low-rank hunters around him, Jeongho cuts an unusually imposing figure, his height and heavy musculature lending him an air of durability and force. That bulk is softened by a kindly, approachable face, which gives his large frame a measure of warmth rather than menace.

When he first appears in the Double Dungeon storyline, his gear includes a yellow knit cap, a two-tone brown puffer jacket worn over a white shirt, and a sizeable backpack slung across his shoulders, with a mace in hand. By his last appearance his look has shifted: a dark red bandana, a green undershirt with the sleeves rolled and a leather chest guard over it, belt-less dark blue jeans, and a heavy war hammer as his weapon.

History

Jeongho raided as part of the D-Rank team led by Song Chi-Yul, carrying a mace early on and a two-handed war hammer later. His exact class went unconfirmed, though his equipment and build suggest he may have served as a Tanker. When the first Double Dungeon turned catastrophic, he was one of only six people to live through it, and he became the second to make it out of the Cartenon Temple.

His end came during the Dungeon and Prisoners Arc. Together with Kim Sangshik, he accidentally walked in on Kang Taeshik executing the prisoners under his charge. Treating both men as witnesses to be silenced, Taeshik killed Jeongho on the spot.
