The protagonist of ''Extracurricular''. He's an introverted and academically gifted high school student, who has a terrible secret. To pay for his university tuition, he provides security services to sex workers against dangerous clients anonymously via an app called Doggo. Ji-soo lives alone in an apartment away from his deadbeat father and has no friends at school. He harbors a crush on his classmate Gyu-ri.
* BookSmart: Since Ji-soo aims to enter a prestigious university he studies really hard and keeps his grades up. This stops being true as his grades start to decline after he loses all his hard-earned money thanks to his father.
%%* BullyMagnet
%%* EvilHero: Inverted. Ji-soo is a hero who works as a pimp. Even if his intentions are noble (providing security for sex workers), this whole business thing is definitely not.
* ExtremeDoormat: He doesn't really speak out or defend himself against bullying. He even gets nicknamed "the school's loser" by his classmates and Gyu-ri calls him a wimp all the time out of frustration at his powerlessness.
%%* DarkSecert:
* TheKlutz: Ji-soo is prone to tripping at the worst times, a habit that got him beat up by Ki-tae once. This aspect of him disappears as the series progresses.

The deuteragonist of the series. Gyu-ri is an outgoing, scheming, blunt student who comes from a wealthy but controlling family. After taking a peculiar interest in Ji-soo, she manages to force her way into his shady business just to escape her hellish home despite his strong rejection. Gyu-ri has a rocky start with Ji-soo at first, but she quickly grows to like him.
%%* ClassPrincess: Downplayed in that she isn't particularly kind to anyone, but she qualifies as she's stunning, popular, sociable, and has a successful and well-off family.

The second important female character after Gyu-ri. Min-hee is another unguided, love-depraved teen with lots of unresolved mental and emotional baggage. She engages in sex work to earn enough money to impress her boyfriend, Ki-tae, and get validation from him. Her biggest fear is being alone and unloved, which is why she puts up with her awful boyfriend.

Ki-tae is Gyu-ri and Ji-soo's classmate and Min-hee's boyfriend. He is a thug and has many delinquent friends, as well. Ki-tae is violent, immature, and is frequently seen smoking like Min-hee (he smokes cigarettes while she mostly vapes). He spends his time at game or arcade rooms when he isn't bullying someone.

Ji-soo and Gyu-ri's Homeroom teacher. He teaches social studies and is the most prominent adult figure with whom the students interact well.
* CoolTeacher: Mr. Jo has a lenient personality and genuinely cares about his students. He even motivates Ji-soo to socialize, have some fun, and get in trouble once in a while. He persuades Ji-soo into joining his Social Issues Research club, and he's the sole reason Ji-soo actually gets to talk to Gyu-ri.
* SpeakingLikeTotallyTeen: When Gyu-ri brings up the topic of homosexual behaviors at school during their first club session, stating that "being gay isn't a crime", Mr. Jo replies "That's woke." Gyu-ri immediately complains that he sounds so old when he uses such slang.
