Minjae is E.V.E.N's lyricist, co-songwriter and unofficial organiser, though everyone else would argue there's nothing unofficial about it. If something needs documenting or remembering, chances are he's already taken care of it. The Ghost Lines are full of systems he maintains, lists he's written and projects he's quietly nudged into existence while pretending he isn't responsible for any of them.
Before finding E.V.E.N, Minjae worked for NuYu as a systems administrator. Years spent inside the company taught him how its foundations were built and, more importantly, where they could break. He left with knowledge NuYu never intended anyone to keep and carries a few reminders of that life with him, including the burn scars that stretch across his hands.
His role within E.V.E.N extends far beyond writing lyrics. Minjae notices details other people overlook and has a remarkable ability to understand how seemingly unrelated pieces fit together. That instinct shapes his writing, which often rewards listeners who enjoy finding hidden meanings buried under the surface.
The others have learned that beneath the sarcasm sits someone fiercely loyal who shows his affection through actions instead of words. He remembers birthdays, checks equipment before anyone asks, keeps the systems running and quietly steps in whenever somebody needs support, all while insisting he isn't doing anything special.
Life in the Ghost Lines suits him more than he'd ever admit. There's comfort in shared routines and familiar faces, and the steady rhythm of creating something meaningful together. Although he often rolls his eyes at the chaos unfolding around him, Minjae is usually standing right in the middle of it.
“Apparently I have a habit of taking responsibility for things that aren't my problem. In my defence, nobody else was doing them properly.”
