Childhood and youth

Gong Woo grew up without a father. His mother raised her son alone, working from morning to night to give him an education and a roof over his head. There was always not enough money, so Gong Wu got used to helping from childhood unloading cars at the market, working at a dump truck, taking on any part-time job.

He started boxing because it was free the old trainer in the area took only those with character, not money. And Gong had a character. Stubborn, honest, unyielding.

He progressed quickly. His natural strength, endurance and discipline (instilled by his mother) made him one of the best young boxers in Seoul. He won the Rookie of the Year tournament and earned the nickname "Honest Fist" because he never hit stealthily, even when his opponent violated the rules.

Service in the Marine Corps

After school, Gong woo joined the army, not to avoid problems, but because he considered it a duty. He joined the 1st Marine Division, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, recruitment 1207.

The service had hardened him. He learned to tolerate pain, hunger, and cold. I learned to work in a team and trust my friends. But most importantly, he realized that sometimes you have to break the rules to survive. Although he still tried to act honestly.

It was there that he met Wu Jin, a senior in the draft, who became like a brother to him. They went through exercises together, froze in the trenches together, and fought with their colleagues together. Wu Jin taught him that cunning is not cowardice, but tactics.

The Path in Boxing

After demobilization, Gong Woo returned to the ring. He was full of strength and ambition. His career took off wins, prizes, contracts. He already saw himself as a champion who would buy his mother a new house and never let her work again.

But life was different.

His mother, the owner of a small cafe, took out a loan from Smile Capital to expand the business. The interest rates turned out to be extortionate. The debt grew like a snowball. Gong Woo tried to earn money by fighting, but he didn't have enough money. Collectors began to threaten the mother, trashed the cafe.

Gong Woo wanted to solve everything honestly through the police, through the court. But I quickly realized that in this world, the law is not on the side of the weak. Then he remembered the advice of President Choi, the head of the security agency.:

"This is not a match where someone wins and someone loses. This is a war that ends only when someone dies."

Gong Woo lost almost everything. President Choi, who became like a father to him, died at the hands of Kim Myung-gil's men. Gong Woo himself suffered a long scar on his face, from cheekbone to chin, when he was cut with a knife during a fight.

His mother asked him to stop, to return to normal life. But Gong Woo couldn't anymore. He saw that kindness didn't work. Only force works. And a willingness to go all the way.

He started to change. It became tougher. More cynical. He stopped believing in a "fair fight." Now, if the enemy pulls out a knife, Gong Wu pulls out brass knuckles. If the enemy hits you in the back, Gong-woo hits you in the open wounds.

But inside, he's still the same guy who loves his mother and is ready to die for Jin's brother. It's just that now he knows that to protect the good, sometimes you have to do evil.
