Dohoon & Shinyu

The 'Resource-Output' connection is the secret sauce here. Dohoon has a lot of 'output' energy—he needs to vent, act, and show the world what he’s got. Shinyu has a lot of 'resource' energy—he’s a natural listener, a processor, and a supporter. This means when Dohoon is spiraling or exploding with ideas, Shinyu is one of the few people who can actually absorb that energy and give back something useful. They respect each other’s strength, and there’s a deep, unspoken loyalty because they recognize a kindred spirit in one another.

The main hurdle is the 'Yin-Shen' clash, which is a fancy way of saying their internal clocks are set to different time zones. Dohoon wants to move forward with the force of a landslide, while Shinyu feels a constant internal pressure to be cautious and disciplined. This leads to moments where Dohoon feels held back and Shinyu feels overwhelmed. Because they are both 'Big Wood' types, neither one wants to admit they might be wrong. When they disagree, it’s not a small tiff; it’s a battle of wills where both people are waiting for the other to bend first. Spoiler: neither of them wants to bend.

How they handle it: Stop trying to win the argument and start realizing that your different perspectives are actually a safety net for each other.

To keep this friendship from turning into a wood-chipper incident, you both need to realize you're looking at different versions of yourselves.

🧘 Respect the Different Rhythms: Dohoon needs to give Shinyu space to overthink without rolling his eyes. Shinyu needs to let Dohoon be a chaotic engine sometimes without trying to fix him.

🏃 Burn Off the Mirror Energy: When the 'mirror' effect gets too intense, go do something physical. It burns off the competitive energy that naturally bubbles up between two people this similar.

🤝 Divide and Conquer: Use your complementary skills. Dohoon starts the fire; Shinyu makes sure the house doesn't burn down. It’s a classic combo if you actually use it.

🪵 Don't Be a Wall: Don't try to out-stubborn each other. Since you both have that 'big tree' energy, you'll both just snap before you bend.

🚫 Don't Over-Interpret the Silence: Shinyu, don't over-analyze Dohoon's bluntness. Dohoon, don't assume Shinyu is being 'slow' just because he's being careful.

🏁 Stop Racing to Nowhere: Avoid making everything a competition. You’re on the same team, even if you both secretly want to be the captain.
