Why is it 주인공 표정 and not 주인공의 표정?

Both are possible. 주인공 표정 is a more casual, compact way of saying the main character’s facial expression(s).

In Korean, 의 is often dropped when the relationship is obvious, especially in everyday speech.

• 주인공의 표정 = the main character’s expression
• 주인공 표정 = same idea, just more natural and conversational in many contexts

So here, 주인공 표정이 자연스러워서 means because the main character’s expressions feel natural.

Why is 표정이 marked with 이?

Because 표정 is the subject of 자연스럽다.

The core part is:

• 표정이 자연스럽다 = the facial expression is natural

Here, 이/가 marks what is being described as natural. So 표정이 is not an object; it is the thing that has the quality of being natural.

Does 표정 mean one expression or multiple expressions here?

It can effectively mean either, depending on context.

Even though 표정 is singular in form, Korean often does not mark plural unless it is really necessary. In English, we might naturally say expressions in a sentence like this.

So here, 주인공 표정이 자연스러워서 can be understood as:

• the main character’s facial expression is natural
• or more naturally in English, the main character’s expressions look natural
