Character Name
Woo-jin
Woo-jin Woo-jin (宇眞, genuinely universal) names a character with an innate self-possession — someone whose inner world is spacious enough that they are rarely rattled, whose genuineness is simply a given rather than an achievement. The divine-protection reading (祐珍) suggests someone around whom fortunate coincidences cluster, not through scheming but through a fundamental alignment with how things should be. Woo-jin suits the naturally charismatic protagonist who achieves things with apparent ease, concealing the invisible work of character.
