- JJ (제이제이)

- Joony Kim (김주니)
- Voiced by Yoon Ah-young
She is the daughter of a kimbap shop owner and a great fan of the Bastions. She takes care of the delivery packages that Digger, Almon and JJ give to customers. The three boys have a room in her rooftop, and they have a sibling-like relationship, but Joony doesn't know they are actually the Bastions.

They have maintained themselves at the #1 spot of the Hero Chart for ten weeks in a row, but their popularity decreased after they reportedly were lacking in their hero activities. Although they boast of perfect teamwork when they are recorded live, they argue with each other off-camera.
