Ray is a relatively young man in his field and rank, usually looking well-dressed in a white shirt and grey jacket, along with slacks as his usual office wear. In his uniform, he always has his badge on his person as preparation for if a case should abruptly rise. More recently, he has also been issued a single, small pistol with rubber bullets, carried in a holster on his hip, for emergencies due to his particularly dangerous mission.
At first glance, standing at 5'11" with his typically slicked back hair, Ray gives off the impression of a respectable gentleman; however, more often than not, he somehow gives off the aura of being smaller than he actually is, and some who have spent time with him in close quarters describe him as having a somewhat "soft" face despite the angled features. This is typically in sharp contrast with his younger brother, who is often described as sharp and solemn looking in comparison to Ray's charitable and polite description.
He has dark, ashy brown hair that is usually slicked back with hair gel when on the job, although a bit of hair always finds its way free as slight bangs, as well as a couple of stray hairs. His eyes are also dark brown in color, with a single small mole under his right eye. Ray usually has some level of slight dark circles under his eyes, which has become noticeable in the last six months.
- ENFP-T "THE CAMPAIGNER" || It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive.
- 3w4 "THE PROFESSIONAL" || For most of my life, people always noticed when I was involved in any kind of activity, and they have usually looked to me for some sort of direction. This has been a two-edged sword because while I wanted to be noticed and approved, the burden was that I had to be perfect—and that was tough.
- Experienced Officer: Ray has extensive experience regarding police and criminal laws and cases. As such, he is also well-versed in common criminal patterns and is knowledgeable of most large-scale criminal activity going on around the Gyeonggi province, such as activity of the Five-Dragon Alliance, Dales, Jade Fish, and the Black Dragon.
- Interrogator: Ray is known for having a natural charisma to him and is able to put on a calm, soothing voice and smile that often puts those he interrogates at ease. He learned most of these tactics from his mother, from what she has told him before as well as her various lawyer-related books.
- Gun Possession: As a special exception to police laws, Ray is in possession of a gun with rubber bullets. He is only allowed to use this in extreme cases. He generally refrains from pre-informing individuals that the bullets are merely rubber and not extremely harmful.
Ray Jung, along with his brother Leon Jung, was born to internationally met parents in Guri. Their father, Jeong Sihyun (정시현), also known as "Shawn Jung", was a well-practiced surgeon who studied at a medical university in the United states; their mother, Wang Yuri (왕유리) was a general law practitioner with a special emphasis on criminal law. The two met on a case, and effectively hit it off from there.
Ray was born prematurely, at four weeks earlier than the predicted date; he was born on New Years of 1987, much to the panic but also joy of his parents. His brother, Leon Jung, was born two and a half years later, and they lived as a happy and stable family of four.
Ray's parents, wishing their children to grow up being internationally competent, had both Ray and Leon attend international school from elementary up until high school; as such, Ray is very fluent in both English and Korean, and often goes by his English-leaning nickname of "Ray" in comparison to his official Korean name, "Raehan". Due to this insistence, he also earned the loving nickname "Ray-Jay" from his mother, and he still has a distinct soft spot for being called this.
The Jung family lived a relatively happy life for a majority of their lives in a modest home in Gwangjin District. Ray had been a very active and positive child from a young age, playing soccer throughout junior high and high school for fun. Given his mother and father's occupations, Ray had been enamored with the idea of working with the law since young, often sifting through his mother's law books and struggling to understand its contents. Upon graduating high school, Ray attended the Korean National Police University with a decisive major in Criminal Investigation.
In an unfortunate tragedy, Shawn, Yuri, and Leon were caught up in a freak car accident in the winter of Ray's first year of university, with Leon being the only survivor of the incident. Ever since, Ray and Leon have largely been on their own.
He graduated as one of the top of his class, with notable efforts in both grades and services. Many from the academy found him a little bit odd, given his extreme propensity to study and work rather than hang out with those around his age, though many attribute it to the recent tragedy his family had suffered at the time. There were a variety of rumours that milled around the university, but none particularly fell through.
Afterwards, he joined the auxiliary police as an alternative to military service, and joined the Gyeonggi police force by age 24. He quickly made a name for himself for his sheer ambition and hard work ethic, being placed on his first heavier cases a year into the department. He achieved attaining the rank of detective by age 28, both impressing and annoying many in his department.
At age 31, he was assigned to a private investigation case regarding the appearance of KS in Seoul and its surrounding satellite cities as its lead detective, tasked with interrogating large criminal families such as the Black Dragon for suspicions of drug distribution, and working either with or against them to stop the distribution of the potent drug.
Due to [REDACTED], he was taken off the case after three months, being put on forced break and private suspension. However, after two weeks, he was placed back onto the case, and has been gradually working it again since. Since this incident, Ray has not had contact with the Black Dragon.
On top of his usual work around Gyeonggi, Ray also acts as the communicator between Themis and his police department, and as such has recently been working communications with their inner ranks to better out the entirety of Gyeonggi province.
- Raehan "Ray" Jung is a rework of OC Ray J. Walters to fit into the Seoul Circuit universe.
Being assigned to the KS Drug Case in Gyeonggi/Seoul, Ray Jung came into contact with the Seoul Alliance through their ties to Ban Aris, a chaebol woman working with the law. His first impressions of the relevant members (Kim Hyeon, Jeong Joonki, Mok Antony, Lee Seokwon) seemed decent and professional, with a stifled respect towards Kim Hyeon and an immediate dislike towards Jeong Joonki. He initially did not feel any which way towards the other two, though relations turned somewhat sour when Mok Antony had a relapse while in police custody, causing Ray to keep him in high security isolation holding in Seoul PD.
Not too soon after, Tachibana Genta from the Bureau was assigned to Seoul PD as a partner in Ray's ongoing investigation. His initial reaction to the other was neutral, though he seemed to turn somewhat cold upon realizing the other was a yokwe on top of being assigned by a different organisation to his case. However, as Genta provided a lead implying KS's potential intent of distribution, his attitude towards Genta has since then become considering.

- Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
- You were always faster than me
I'll never catch up with you, with you
Oh I can feel them coming for me
- Last week I had the strangest dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where there was never any mystery
Of who shot John F. Kennedy...
- Run boy run! This world is not made for you --
Run boy run! They’re trying to catch you --
- Mr. Know it all had his reign and his fall
At least that's what his brain is telling all
- The world keeps growing and feeding
Doesn't feed you, does it?
But, uh, how much can you take?
How much can you take before you snap?
- 'Cause they will run you down, down til the dark
Yes and they will run you down, down til you fall
And they will run you down, down til you go
Yeah so you can't crawl no more...
- There's a maniac out in front of me
Got an angel on my shoulder, and Mephistopheles...
- I'm a man of three fears
Integrity, faith and crocodile tears
- Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
Cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend
- You got that medicine I need
Dope, shoot it up straight to the heart please...
- I'm really sorry
Sorry I dragged you into this
I overthink, that's all it is
