Hyun Cha
Status: Alive

The main character of the story. An isolated, lonely teenager who is forced to move when his family dies in a traffic accident. He is eighteen years old and stopped going to high school due to unknown reasons. He spends his time trolling and tricking on internet, as well as playing various RPGs. He sold his old house and moved into Green Home apartments (room 1410) because the money left by his deceased family was insufficient for him to survive as an isolated person. He then proceeds to choose October 25th as the to date to commit suicide after watching the last episode of his favourite series Maria From the Sky! After the apocalypse breaks out, he shows early symptoms of monsterization such as nosebleed and fainting. He is left in a coma during two days, only to discover the current situation of the world. Throughout the story, he seems to have a hidden obsession with being the hero that involves his past, desire used by his inner monster as a temptation. However, he managed to avoid turning into a monster by discovering its deception.

Jisu
Status: Alive

A girl who recently moved into Green Home apartments (room 1510) the same day as Hyun. She is a bass player, and she normally annoys neighbors with her instrument, thing which she deeply regrets. When the apocalypse breaks out, she is almost attacked by Wendigo. Then, she helps to keep guard to a fainted Hyun along with Wook. When she gets tired of not knowing what is going on, she goes to check what is happening and encounters Jayhun. She seemed to have been in love with a boy named Haerang.

Jayhun
Status: Dead

A Korean teacher who is also a devout Christian. He lives in room 1506, and is referred by Jisu as gentle and good looking. After the apocalypse, he goes out to help people with his sword.

With his shield destroyed and sword out of reach, he was killed by Mr Kim.

Status: Dead

Mr. Kim is the Security guard of the apartment complex Hyun Cha lives in. He was seen in the first chapter when Hyun was moving into his apartment and also in a flashback of Jisu's move into the apartment. He is a very friendly man, but also claims that he isn't treated very well by other people; we can assume his desire is respect. He had a nosebleed (ch 1) and disappeared once the apocalypse began, so we can also assume he turned into a monster. He reappears in episode 60 equipped with a weed wacker. He appears human as he is revealed from the elevator doors, however, it's quickly revealed he's been monsterized. His desire is revealed to kill all of the Green Home residents and burn the building. He was killed by Hyun using Tongue's...tongue to suck out Mr. Kim's organs. Despite his actions, Hyun thought Mr. Kim didn't seem like a bad person before his monsterization.

A young boy, who is Eun's big brother. He is carefree but rather smart. He maintained a chat with Hyun through internet with the nickname of "crewcrew". He is shown to be the Leader of the Helping Squad and tells the others what to do, although not everyone agrees with him. He was a bit careless at first with the monsters but after Mr. Glasses' death, he seemed to be more strategic and planning. Wook confirmed that Hyuk is still scared of the monstrous events going on and Eun said he wasn't very good or social in school despite being smart.

Dusik Hahn

During Hyun's encounter with "Eyeball", he lent a helping hand by shooting its neck off, saving Hyun. He was also responsible for one of Half-Head's ears being blown off which saved Sook and Yeong's lives as he would've heard them shiver. He seemed to have really cared for Myeong-Ja Lim after some interactions and teared when she became a monster. Now he seems to be have more of a hope.

She seems to be protective for her brother in handling situations like monsters.

Jay Ryu
Status: Alive

Jay Ryu is a man who was a survivor of the monster apocalypse and apart of the Helping Squad. At first he didn't seem to do much, but then when Mr. Kim began killing the Helping Squid, he and Hyein Son got into a argument on who should fight Mr. Kim and it resulted with Hyein smashing his head in with a dumbbell. Later, when Hyein tried to kill Seon Ahn, he began to nosebleed and monsterized, ranting about how his dream is ruined. He seemed to be unaware of the fact that he's a monster, when Seon called him that so he checked the mirror. Seeing that he's a monster, he began to freak out and was whacked by Seon with a wooden plank. Later he and Seon were sent to a room in the first floor (the same one Hyun and Seok was in) and discussed about what happens when you fully monsterized.

Seon Ahn
Status: Alive

Seon Ahn is the abused wife of Seok Kim. She was seen as the first survivors of the Monster Apocalypse. She was shown to be abused being yelled out and insulted. It's soon revealed that her desire is to kill Seok, but she refuses to let the monster take over for her. She began discussing with Hyein about being monsterized, showing Hyein that she became a monster now. She soon encountered Seok in his monster form, getting him to snap out of his senses to the true Seok Kim. After he apologized, Seon smashed his head in multiple times with a wooden plank and began feeling traumatized of what's she's done. Later, we see her sleeping with Hyein attempting to burn her alive with a flamed bottle but Jay Ryu stopped her. Seon then tried to stop Jay before he realized he was a monster and began freaking out, resulting in her knocking him out. Hyein then kicked Seon down and threw the bottle but she caught it. They got into a argument on who's right with Seon calling Hyein out on being a coward. Soon they were caught by the others with Hyein telling them that Seon is a monster now. She began talking to Jay about being monsterized and how you can be with your desire if you do.

Hyein Son
Status: Alive

Hyein Son is a girl with glasses who seems to be somewhat bossy and cowardly. She has a bossy demeanor like Seok Kim but yet she also seems to a coward when it comes to certain things like killing someone. She was the one who convinced Seon Ahn to try to kill Seok. When that failed, they had a talk about it, with Hyein calling her a coward. However, that changed when Seon revealed to her that she was a monster. And with the promise of killing her, Hyein attempted to burn Seon alive before being interrupted by Jay Ryu. After Seon knocked out Jay, Hyein kicked her back and tried to kill her and Jay with the flamed bottle but Seon grabbed it. They got into a argument before Wook, Hyun and a few others entered in with Hyein confessing that Seon have became a monster.

Myeong-Ja Lim
Status: Monsterized

A lady who lost her baby in an accident a year prior to the apocalypse. She is in denial about the loss of her child. Protects Sook and Yeong from 'Muscles' in Ep. 27, and demonstrates a degree of control over her monsterization, similar to Hyun. However, she ultimately succumbs to the infection but managed to beat the monster in its own game by desiring to be her own baby.

Seop Ahn:
Status: Alive

Seop Ahn is a old man who survived through weapons such as a crossbow and flamed bottles. He claims to be not scared of death, but he isn't suicidal like Hyun was. He is shown to be a bit of a grump and a joker when he first met Hyun and Wook, pretending to be upset that Hyun was a monster. He's shown to care for Yuri wanting to attack Mr. 705 when he grabbed her neck. It's soon shown that his claim about not being scared of death might be false as he shook in fear as Mr. Kim walked towards him with his bloody weed-wacker. Seop tried to distract Mr. Kim with a bow to the heel as Hyun charged at him with Tongue's tongue. He seems to dislike people passing away before him and seems a bit annoyed with Hyuk's treatment of the bodies. He helped get the bottles ready for flames and is one of the members to attack the 3 monsters down in the parking lot.

Yuri Park:
Status: Alive

Yuri Park is a young female who appeared to have survive by using actual weapons to fight the monsters. She along with Seop Ahn survived through taking dead corpses' weapons and items. She appears to have asthma with barely any air in her inhaler left. She somehow survived a attack from Mr. 705 and helped Wook's injuries. She seems to be a caretaker, although not a very good one, probably why she's with Seop Ahn in the first place. She stayed behind to take care of Sook and Yeong while Hyun and the others get the elevator working. She headed down after they got rid of Mr. Kim and was assigned as one of the members to attack the 3 monsters in the parking lot.

"Wendigo"/ Hungry
Status: Dead

"A... AH... SOM ...THI... TO... E EAT ...?" -"Wendigo".

She was the girl next door to Hyun. She wanted to be an actress and we see her talking to her mother about it. It seemed that her current manager had forced her to follow a strict diet, a matter of which she constantly complained about. As a result, her inner monster could have offered her to eat everything she wanted to without getting overweight. She throws itself from the window of the 15th floor. Later in another episode, she still appears lying on the floor despite having been there for days. This could indicate that, if the monsterization is not completed, the infected human can die along with their inner monster.

"Half-head" / No Eyes
Status: Dead

Its real name is unknown. Its shirt appears to be ripped like half of its chest skin. In later episodes, it is discovered that the one who cut its face was Jayhun with his sword.

It's head is shot off by an adult with a man-made gun. It survived without a head and wandered off without harm.

"Muscles"
Status: Alive

Its real name is unknown. It originally appeared as a giant, white, muscular man; being greatly larger than a regular human - let alone a body builder, which is what it appears to have originally been. However, after being defeated, it evolves and becomes larger with red skin. It's identity is unknown but it's desire likely is to become stronger at any cost, even to attacking other monsters seen with Half-Head and Tongue.

Its human identity is unknown. But it has an ability similar to the half head monster, except it can drown its prey on ground by strangling their head with slime.

"Long hand"
Status: Dead

Long Hand is a monster who was a Father of a child who was most likely killed by a monster, presumably Mr. 705. After he lost his son, he began to monsterize with his desire to hold his son's hand. Hyun and Wook encountered him when it tried to grab them but ended up grabbing Hyun's arm crushing it. Hyun stabbed it with his spear and electrocuted both Long Hand and him. Long Hand ended up collapsing so Wook followed the long arm to reveal that Long Hand is a short man with very long hands. Wook covered him in simmer and burned him to death.

"Mr. 705"
Status: Dead

Real Identity is unknown, its appearance is a extremely muscular three-eyed monster. Its desire is confirmed to be extremely fast, as he was jealous of his friend, who he murdered while he was human. He has also lost the ability to smell through monsterization due to his desire of not wanting to smell his friend's corpse. There's a possibility that he was the monster who took Long Hand's child. It appears to be sadistic as it enjoys strangling Yuri, with Wook noting this. It tried to kill Hyun but failed as Hyun managed to outsmart him with a thin rope with simmer to knock it out. He was then burned to death.

"Upside-down Face"
Status: Dead

Upside-down Face is a monster who roamed the parking lot. Its face seems to be turned upside down while his body looks like a mutant-like state. It was first discovered when they checked the cameras for the parking lot. When the crew decided to burn the 3 monsters, Upside-Down Face decided to fight back by shooting hit arm out similar to Half-Head. However, Hyun blocked it with Jayhun's shield as Wook kicked it down for it to burn and die faster.
