The CEO of a management company, a powerful and well-connected agent who turns Young-bin from a pretty-boy actor into a rising star.
A rising superstar in his 20s, known for his handsome looks. Despite his fame, he is a vapid actor with delusions of artistic grandeur.
Young-bin's cousin. A former member of Sugar Boys, an idol group who has made a debut in the late 90s. Now, he is a struggling actor who is desperate for more fame.
Young-bin's best friend; an average boy-next-door who gets thrown into the world of showbiz when his best friend becomes a star. He now acts as Young-bin's personal manager and despite his will, is treated badly by the CEO, causing him to be skeptical about his job.
Young-bin and Ho-jin's childhood friend. A happy-go-lucky guy who is bright and positive, but has no luck with the ladies. He acts as the driver and odd job man of the group.
