Ju Oh-nam is Mi-mo’s father in Mask Girl. Oh-nam was one of Mask Girl’s followers, and he was obsessed with her. He finds out that Kim Mo-mi is Mask Girl because they happen to work in the same place.

He follows her around and is jealous of the fact that Mo-mi likes her boss, Mr. Park. One night, Mo-mi finds Mr. Park drunk and takes him back home where they end up sleeping in the same bed.

A part of Mr. Park likely believes that they had sex, but they didn’t do it as he fell asleep quickly. So, Mr. Park is not Mi-mo’s father.

When Mr. Park resigns, Mo-mi becomes devastated, so she agrees to meet with a fan. She ends up meeting “Handsome Monk” and even reveals her face to him. Oh-nam figures out that something terrible will happen to Mo-mi, so he goes after her.

Handsome Monk attempts to rape Mo-mi, but he gets knocked out. Mo-mi believes that she killed Handsome Monk, and Oh-nam says that he would take care of the situation.

The one who actually ended up killing Handsome Monk was Oh-nam. Later on, Mask Girl reveals that she will be having her last broadcast. Oh-nam rushes to Mo-mi’s apartment and finds out that she will be leaving.

Oh-nam then rapes Mo-mi, which leads to the latter stabbing him to death. Later on, we find out that Mo-mi is pregnant.

When Chun-ae asks if Ju Oh-nam is the father, Mo-mi gives an expression that implies Oh-nam is indeed the father. So, Oh-nam’s mother, Kyung-ja, has been targeting Mi-mo without knowing that the latter is her granddaughter.
