IN-GAME DESCRIPTION:
Jeong-Won Maeng in fact is NOT 3'9, he is 5'10. He DOES NOT resemble a goblin. A lighthearted smile always accompanied him.
PROFESSOR APPLICATION DESCRIPTION:
Jeong-Won Maeng is a middle-aged man of average build. The Maeng has jet-black hair, a paler complexion (attributed to the time he has spent indoors), and a tattoo of Korean characters on his arm. He grew up in Busan, South Korea, attending Seoul National University. As such, Jeong-Won is a stranger to the Japanese school system and their methods of learning, although it does not pose as a complete unknown entity, since his daughter, Hayami Maeng, was a student of the school before leaving the city for their hometown. Jeong-Won takes on a lighthearted, easy-going personality, usually known for his funny antics, workaholic attitude, and even his former catchphrase, ‘Stay hydrated!’.
Jeong-Won can be described as a ‘family man’ with the devotion towards his family, from his daughter that he never vowed to disappoint, to his various nieces and nephews that reside in Karakura. His devotion towards family and his workaholic attitude have caused clashes in his personality, although the former reigns, even causing him to dedicate more time towards bonding with his relatives. He shows his love for family and friends through his concern for others, from making soup for them, to shoving water bottles in their arms to ensure that they stay hydrated.
Certainly, Jeong-Won is an eccentric personality, although that can be said about most of the people in the Maeng family. It may be genetic.
Jeong-Won believes in the younger generation, and that they will some day be the driving force of Karakura. As such, he has the belief that he will dedicate himself to honing these young students’ craft in journalism and media, similar to how he was taught and educated when he was a youth himself. The middle-aged Maeng is a welcoming personality, not only to the students, but to his colleagues around him. He can be informally described that he ‘looks like a cinnamon roll, is a cinnamon roll’, with his bright, loving character! Jeong-Won is welcoming to all, should they need a pep talk, or simply, a wave hello, or goodbye.
