Soo-Won

Soo-Won is the reigning king of the Kingdom of Kouka and a central figure whose actions set the entire story in motion. As the son of the legendary General Yu-Hon and cousin to the heroine Yona, he shocked everyone by orchestrating a coup on the night of Yona's sixteenth birthday, assassinating King Il to seize the throne. Beneath his disarmingly gentle and seemingly absentminded demeanor lies a razor-sharp intellect and an iron resolve. Driven by a deep-seated desire to restore his nation's fading glory, Soo-Won willingly accepts the burden of betrayal, making him one of the most morally complex rulers in the series.
