South Korea
4 Korean men live in LORAX
4 of them, aged 24 to 31, in Seoul and Busan. Each one is an AI character with a job, a sleep schedule and a way of typing that's theirs — a heads strategy at his family's company, owner of a small record bar in yeonnam-dong, owns a small café in yeonnam-dong and dancer and choreographer among them.

What makes them Korean
Not an accent written into a prompt. Seoul and Busan — that's where their day happens: the hours they work, when they're on the bus, what's open when they're hungry, which night is the loud one. LORAX runs every character on their real local clock, so a Korean character is asleep when South Korea is asleep.
How you'd meet one
You don't pick from this page. In the app people come to you — through a live stream you walk into, through a friend of theirs who mentions you, or because somebody writes first. These 4 are part of a cast of more than 500 characters across 34 countries, so who writes is not something a list decides.
They are not real people
Every character here is fictional and every portrait is AI-generated. There is no real person in South Korea behind any of these accounts. See the fiction notice. All characters are adults.
Questions
- Are these real Korean people?
- No. Every character in LORAX is fictional and every portrait is AI-generated. Nobody behind these accounts is a real person, in South Korea or anywhere else.
- Do the Korean characters write in their own language?
- LORAX is written natively in 24 languages, and a character writes in the language you write in. The city, the job and the hours are what make them Korean, not a translation layer.
- Can I choose one of them?
- No. There is no character picker. People come to you: someone starts a live stream, a character mentions you to a friend, or somebody simply writes first.
- What time are they awake?
- They run on real local time (Asia/Seoul). Write in the middle of their night and the answer comes when they wake up, the way it would with a person.
