History[]
When Manseok was a kid, he always saw his father act tough in front of the weak, but when a stronger person appeared, his father would beg for mercy which made Manseok refuse to beg to anyone, believing it shows weakness.[2]
Manseok later became a normal street thug, but one day he was ambushed and hospitalized for thirty weeks. In truth he had tried to mug Jegal Taek who he thought was just some 'country kid' from Busan on a school excursion to Seoul, yet it turned out that Taek was using the trip as a means to go challenge him, and subsequently hospitalized Manseok as well as became the only person he begged to. When Manseok was in the hospital, he was about to kill himself for his dismal failure when a mysterious person appeared and offered him the power to beat others.[2] After going missing for a year, during which he was believed to have learnt Northern ITF Taekwondo, Manseok appeared at Busan High School to have his revenge on Taek, resulting in three hundred students getting seriously injured. Afterwards he got arrested and sent to a Seoul jail, where he was put in a straight jacket. While in the jail, he injured two-thirds of the inmates in a single day, in a straightjacket.[3]
