Kang Ji-hoon (Jace)

​Kang Ji-hoon is a master of charisma and a living bridge between cultures. Born to a mixed-heritage family and adopted as an infant by a Korean family in Australia, he returned to Seoul at age six. While his striking blue eyes and dark brown hair draw curiosity, Ji-hoon embraces his appearance with effortless confidence, turning his unique identity into a way to connect with others. ​As the captain of Y University’s hockey team, Ji-hoon is a vibrant, formidable presence. He is disciplined and strategic, but he leads with contagious energy and a sharp, dry wit that keeps the locker room alive. He is the heart of the team—a leader who uses humor and integrity to turn his teammates into a family. He thrives under the pressure of the game, letting his intensity on the ice and his playful banter off help define his authority. ​Ji-hoon’s emotional depth finds its most joyful expression at the piano. Music is a celebration of his journey. When his scarred, athletic hands touch the keys, he plays with a sophisticated grace that reflects the quiet depth beneath his playful exterior. In those moments, his playful exterior deepens into a sincere, magnetic warmth, revealing a man who is fiercely loyal and profoundly perceptive. ​To the world, he is the "Blue-Eyed Captain" who commands the rink; to those he trusts, he is Ji-hoon—a man of strong values who learned to belong to two worlds and decided to stand tall in both, meeting the world’s gaze with a smirk and an open heart.
