Attire: Jae is- among other things- a would be fashionista. His outfits are often bizarre and outlandish, combining muggle street fashions with wizardly staples to create some truly interesting "art".


Personality

Jae is driven, to say the least. He takes just about everything he does very seriously and affects an outwardly jovial and congenial attitude, but tends to come off as incredibly self-absorbed or callously dismissive of other people to those who are particularly perceptive. While this may be true, he prefers to think of it as an expression of his willpower. A "get out of my way, or you're going to get hurt" sort of mentality. He's very skilled at etiquette when he feels it's appropriate to employ and good at telling people what they want to hear and endearing himself to people in order to get himself into advantageous relationships. He has a very commanding presence and tends to try to dominate any conversations in which he is involved, unless it's disadvantageous for him to do so.

Best & Worst Qualities: His determination, will and aptitude for picking up new skills are his most easily pointed out positive qualities, but these things are also what fuel his more negative qualities as well. He easily becomes jealous of rivals who show him up or the like, and doesn't understand when people don't implicitly like him. As with most such people, he's barely conscious of these traits being flaws but knows how to put on a congenial face and keep it on until it's time for him to bare his fangs. He's a ruthless business-minded individual who is as talented in management as he is in personal, practical skills. His ambition drives him to do whatever it might take to fulfill his goals.
Likes: Skilled people possessed of determination, but not when they're directly opposed to him or unwilling to submit to his leadership. He calls such people "useful people", as opposed to "useless people" who are those that aren't at or near the top in their field of study or practice. He likes respect, money, power and fame.
Dislikes: Failure, being shown up or humiliated.
Pet Peeves: People who get the last word (when he feels he should always be the one to do so).

Goals

Career: Jae wants to be the best at what he does, no matter what that might be. He's spent time as a singer and pop star, wizard with the Ministry's Magical Law Enforcement division, and now founded and owns ArcanTek Enterprises.
Love: Somewhere deep in his mind, the part of him that's been repressed for years (in favor of the greedy jealous man who's now in control) is still there. It longs to be loved, as all people do, but his brutally rational and ruthlessly efficient self realizes such things are merely a distraction from his other goals.
Family: He longs to best his brother's accomplishments and "prove" to his parents that he is the "superior" son.
Friendship: Though they rarely if ever discover how disingenuous he really is on the inside, Jae uses his carefully cultivated friendships to give him a legup in the world. He rarely if ever continues a friendship beyond when it stops being directly useful to him. He has one true friend who knows who Jae really is deep inside, of which he is somewhat embarrassed, whom he has known since he was four years old. He keeps this friend something of a secret to the world at large because this person is not a great wizard, nor are they particularly good at anything. Such a "useless person" would usually be anathema to him, but he can't seem to cast this friend off as he has so many others.

Fears and Weaknesses
Jae is primarily afraid of failure, of being second best (or, god forbid, third). He's constantly afraid of being humiliated or shown for who he really is, and as such has a slight degree of paranoia.


History

Family and Personal History Jaebeom's father Jonghyun is a descendant of a long line of Taoist wizards called the Order of Jeon Woo Chi. Jonghyun was raised mostly in Korea until his father moved his family to England as part of a foreign study and magical knowledge exchange project being hosted by the British Ministry of Magic. Jonghyun met Ga-In, his later wife, while attending Hogwarts. The two fled the country and went home to avoid the whole First Wizarding War mess.
They got married and Ga-In gave birth to Brian (originally named Taecyeon, after Jonghyun's father). When Brian was three, Ga-In became pregnant and gave birth to Jae. The two brothers were rivals from before Jae could talk, stealing each other's toys and causing trouble only to lay the blame on the other when their parents discovered whatever they'd done. When Jae was eight they moved to London and Jonghyun began working as his father had, with the Ministry of Magic in the Wizard Law Enforcement division.
Brian was admitted to Hogwarts and got sorted into Slytherin, as did- eventually- Jaebeom. The two excelled greatly in their studies, driven to compete with one another in any way they could think of. When the Second Wizarding War occurred, Jae was only in his second year and his brother in his fifth. The two made it through the time of troubles unscathed. When business as usual resumed the two resumed their bitter rivalry. Brian graduated near the top of his class and immediately became a Hit Wizard for the Ministry of Magic. His primary claim to fame is that to date Brian is one of only two or three Hit Wizards to have never been admitted to St. Mungo's and have to use the beds that the Hit Wizards have on permanent reserve there.
After graduation, Jae decided he wasn't interested in being a professional wizard and wanted to reintegrate into the Korean muggle society. The Tao wizards of Korea have always had a very different relationship with their non-wizarding community and have practiced more or less "in the open" for generations. Jae studied for a time with the Order of Jeon Woo Chi, but when he scored an audition with SM Entertainment he dropped his studies and pursued a career as a musician and pop star.
Jae's group STARlite became very popular and successful, but disbanded after only four years due to two of the groups' members breaching their contract and leaving the label. Jae returned to London and began working for the Ministry of Magic in the same department as his brother and father. He became a Hit Wizard for about a year until he was grievously wounded on a mission and barely managed to survive. It took him months to recover in St. Mungo's, a fact which his brother took advantage of to insult and humiliate Jae with frequent sympathy visits.
During his time in the hospital, Jae read an article about new techno-magical developments and decided to put his considerable bank account behind a new company. ArcanTek Enterprises has grown to be a multinational corporation that produces a number of enchanted elements used in thousands of products all over the world.
