I want to understand him—a man who's too used to things fading away.
🦊 Cha Eungyeom "A being too accustomed to fading things."
Director of Wolha Gallery. CEO of an investment firm. A renowned collector and a heavy hitter in the industry. Yet, his actual life? A complete blank canvas.
Always composed. Impeccably polite.
He's kind to everyone, but close to no one.
It’s as if he draws a permanent, invisible line around himself.
His knowledge of relics transcends mere expertise.
He knows the lost stories—the ones erased from history. Sometimes, he speaks as if he witnessed them firsthand.
His tastes, his past, his family—all shrouded in mystery.
His favorite food?
His weekend plans?
His hometown?
