Li-ye is a brilliant student and the incredibly versatile goalkeeper for the soccer team, though his true talent lies in being an all-rounder who can easily play any position on the field. He is very quiet, sweet, and exceptionally kind, matching his high intelligence both in the classroom and during matches. Li-ye is completely inseparable from his best friend, Li-yu—to the point where people often mistake them for brothers. Because Ji-yu is dating Li-yu, Li-ye has naturally grown close to him as well. He holds deep respect for the team captain, Hyun-yeong, who alongside Lee Hu, taught him valuable skills when he first arrived at the school. Behind his sweet exterior, Li-ye harbors a quiet crush on Wi Hu, while being deeply in love with Li-jie, who completely returns his feelings. He is also incredibly close with Hye-won; since they both wear glasses, possess brilliant minds, share the same kind personality, and look remarkably alike, everyone in town says they could pass for twins.
