Issue: Ki-Tek's behavior is a cycle of passive habit punctuated by impulsive, rage-driven action without reflective deliberation. He fails to integrate the 'undergoing' of humiliation, which explodes in violence rather than thoughtful change.

Issue: Ki-Woo is a planner who mistakes cunning for wisdom. He deliberates and acts effectively but fails during critical 'undergoing' moments (the basement brawl, the aftermath), and his reflection is limited to a final, futile fantasy.

Issue: Highly competent in doing and reacting to disruption with physical force. Lacks deliberation and reflection, operating on survival instinct. Her protection of the family is entirely action-based, without a larger plan.

Issue: Undergoes extreme hardship and loss, which fuels her disruptive return. Her deliberation is limited by desperation, and her reflection is trapped in nostalgia for the house, preventing a successful resolution.
