Family:

Grandfather: Park Jin-Woo's grandfather was a former soldier who discovered the Time Tyrant System during a war. He used it to survive battles, but ultimately sealed the artifact to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. Before his passing, he gives the artifact box to Jin-Woo, believing it should be passed on only to someone worthy. Jin-Woo's relationship with his grandfather was one of respect and caring but also distant—Jin-Woo always saw his grandfather as a mysterious figure with a lot of secrets.Parents: His parents are relatively absent from his life due to their demanding work schedules, making Jin-Woo largely independent from an early age.Friends: He has a few close friends at school, but he's not socially outgoing. He's always been a supportive friend but has kept himself at arm's length emotionally.
