Yes he is!!!!! The worst second male lead! In this episode he decides on his own to fund her scholarship to university because he found out she was no longer with the husband. She is running around here and there, trying to borrow money for study. The university calls her and tells her she can have the scholarship and to bring the paperwork tomorrow. The husband finds out she is having financial difficulty and wants to help her go to school. He finds her in the bus terminal after hearing the news, they go a drink together to celebrate the scholarship. Stalker hak-do who presumably sees this scholarship as a way to date her, sees them at the bus terminal, stalks them some more. Gets his feelings hurt because she is talking to another man who he knows she is married to and has feelings for. Then he gets prissy and tells them to cancel the scholarship. Choon hyang goes back to the university the next day to get her paperwork sorted, only to be told her scholarship is gone. It is too late to register. He makes my blood boil!
