no hes just a jealous pos that cant imagine the "weird kid" being deserving of good things in his life and people that care for him and hes doing everything to ruin it,
internalized crush isnt how im able to interpret him at all and i hope thats not the direction the plot goes cause that would be a very cheap way to explain it and not fitting at all
It's not cheap imo, it's realistic by male korean toxic masculinity standard. It's not like he's gonna be the 2nd ml or be forgiven just because he likes dohu, it just explains his motivation. A bully will be a bully whether the reason is envy, jealousy, or attention seeking.
Everyone has said their piece so im gonna say mine: I can't be the only one that thinks that this guy has a massive crush on dohu right. He's acting like a guy in the closet bullying his crush, not that he himself realizes it.
He's like a guy with internalized homophobia in denial with his feelings so he thought he only picks on dohu because dohu is a weird kid, but he kept talking about dohu dolling up and looking pretty that night and he's pissed that dohu always cared and paid attention only to juheon. Some commenters said there's no reason for him to do all this? Yep, if anything he put his career at risk. He's just doing this to get dohu's attention
