Hyunmin

The eldest of three brothers who live in a Choga house in a corner of the Byukgye Institute. He is extremely worried about his brother Hyunwoo who came back one day, beaten from being accused as a thief in Nampo and now lies sick in bed. He teaches himself how to read and write by reading the books that the Byukgye Institute scholars threw away, and wishes he could provide support for his brothers so they won't have to worry about money.
