Jae-hui is a workaholic who doesn’t stop

She takes her work home and proves to be very effective as is shown by the fact that she solved an old unresolved case within 24 hours of joining the division.

She doesn’t exactly trust Nam Han-jun and questions whether he can actually contact the spirits. She is also focused on catching someone connected to an old case that she was involved in.
