Who is Ha Ideun?
This is a question that Sehyuk asked himself too. Ha Ideun is a very bold character. He always speaks what is on his mind and gets his way with most things. As mentioned above, he is a character that is different from traditional uke in BL manhwa. He is usually seen as someone who is the first to make a move. This is the reason why he is one of the most loved ukes from BL manhwa. So far, we know what Ideun’s personality is like, yet the question arises, who exactly is he? Ha Ideun definitely seems to be hiding something from everyone, including his personality. What gives this theory away is a small detail that the author added about him in the author’s note at the end of season 1. This detail is Ideun’s MBTI type.
For those who do not know, MBTI is a personality test that has blown up on the internet because of its accuracy. Many authors have given their characters their own MBTI type, which makes it easier for character sketches. In Mad Place, Sehyuk was typed as an ISTJ, also described as a person who is good at observations and inspection. Under Ideun’s MBTI, however, was the word “Unknown”. This gives away the fact that whatever Ideun seems to be like right now, personality-wise, isn’t really him but just an act. He appears to be fearless, but we can catch glimpses of him panicking and being anxious as well as sad.
All of this also makes us question his motives. We know that his ultimate goal is to reveal the truth to Sehyuk. However, he is taking his own sweet time with it as if waiting for something more to happen. He also wants Sehyuk to find the truth out on his own and is shown to have an ulterior motive. All these only sparks more theories and further predictions.
