Lee Gilyoung is a young boy who is a member of Kim Dokja's party. He had the insects that allowed some of the party to survive Main Scenario 1. He is not a character from the original novel.
Appearance[]
Lee Gilyoung has brown hair and a dark countenance, always appearing to scowl. He has pink cheeks. He wears a snapback hat backwards, and the hair sticking out at the front moves like an antenna.[1]
Personality[]
Lee Gilyoung appears rather brash and combative, often being rude or blunt in speech. He is proud, with an easily bruised ego, and he is somewhat insecure. He is brave and a good judge of actions and personality, being able to discern Kim Dokja's motives more than once. He is deeply loyal and possessive over those people and things he deems "his".
History[]
Lee Gilyoung was born to poor parents, who lived outside Seoul. His mother Youngmi's relatives didn't support her relationship with Lee Gilyoung's father. Soon before the scenarios began, Lee Youngmi and her husband died in an unspecified accident (implied to be some kind of fire) at which Gilyoung was present.
After the funeral, his remaining living relatives were reluctant to take him in. Eventually, one of his aunts took him in; it is implied that she may have abused him.[2] She took him into Seoul on the subway in order to locate an orphanage or other such child-care facilities, as she did not want to look after him. At some point, Lee Gilyoung and his aunt were on the 3434 Train to Bulgwang, which is when the scenarios began.[3]
