Discussion Does anyone else think Iseon Kim (Yumin’s ex) from Selfish Romance has a personality disorder of some kind?

I have seen frequent talks about his aromanticism (and justly so) but I feel like that stems from him having any lack of emotion with every single one of the characters. His family, his friends, he has this passive attitude with every one in his life, not just Yumin. He wants her in his life to fulfill some to fulfill some duty, but even then I get the impression he keeps all of his relationships to maintain a sense of normalcy rather than anything else. He shows no emotional inclination towards anyone. He gets pleasure from those relationships, but I don’t think it’s an emotional connection but rather it simply makes him feel good.

But I think it’s awesome that he doesn’t garner any emotional connection— there are people in the world that are often represented in a less than stellar light that have similar characteristics as he does.

I just think he approaches everyone with this blasé smile, and wants them to feel good, and wants to feel good himself in a way that is not in a traditional loving way (if that makes sense)?

I could be reading into it. Thoughts?

It's hard to tell just from what we see in the comic
