Yoogun Kim

Yoogun Kim is a patient, student and former friend of Seonga Yoon.

History
Yoogun Kim was born to an overachieving family, His father was a director at a major corporation, and his mother was a professor. He had an older brother and an older sister as well. Yoogun used to be in a rock club with Seonga during their high school years before he was drafted to complete his military service.

After high school Yoogun applied for jobs, but with little success. He became very stressed due to his situation. This stress manifested into physical symptoms such as stomachaches and fevers, as well as insomnia. When Yoogun tried to apply for the SATs, he became sick during the exam and failed. He took a gap year trying to get a better score in the exam.

Eventually he became a student at Yonggang University, but his insomnia did not improve. Yoogun began missing classes and avoiding his classmates, which caused them to think he was a lazy student.

Insomnia
Yoogun was interrupted on his computer by Seonga, who was looking for him at their familiar hang out spot. She asked why he was avoiding school, and he told her about his stress finding a job. Seonga offered to counsel him for his apparent insomnia. Yoogun initially refused because of fear of job rejections, but after Seonga explained the process to him he agreed to participate.

Yoogun began sleep counseling with Seonga. He kept a journal and was told to maintain regular sleep hours. However, Yoogun ignored these guidelines and continued to stay up at night, so his symptoms did not improve. Seonga ended the counselling with Yoogun, and he was relieved for a moment. Dr. Frost confronted him outside of the counseling center and chastised him for pretending to want to improve his symptoms.

After the meeting with the professor, Yoogun felt ashamed of himself. He decided to make a change once again, and he called Seonga for help. He also spoke with his family about his issues in an attempt to face his problems head on.
