1st Generation

Sign in to edit


The 1st Generation is a group of fighters that follow the 0th generation. It is also known as the Generation of Circles or the Generation of War. It was the only generation in which fists and circles coexisted. This generation ended when James Lee beat the circles. Sometime later, James Lee would appear as one of Charles Choi's Ten Geniuses and would start the 2nd generation crews with the help of Charles along with the other nine geniuses.

History[]

The 1st Generation was first revealed by DG episode 359 when DG explained to Daniel the History of Fists. [1]During this generation, Gapryong's followers began to fight each other for greed and power, and that struggle for power ended up with them recruiting high school students who were followers of the Pre-Generation. "The Fist" would rule over these groups of students known as "circles" and within those students, individuals would rise above them and become leaders known as "Kings". They tended to occupy larger areas such as a city and provinces in the countryside in order to run illegal businesses to make money.

The generation was full of violence and had no romance. "Kings" and "Circles" would always be in a constant struggle fighting over territory until the strongest member of this generation, James Lee would appear. He ended the circles by defeating the kings, mutilating several of the kings in the process. It's unknown how many Kings he did this to, as kings like Jichang did not lose a body part, there are only two confirmed victims. He took Taesoo Ma's right eye and contributed to the loss of Gongseob Ji's right leg.[2] The fate of the fists that participated in the first generation is unknown but after this most people of the 1st Generation were scarred by him. Most of them would stay put in their own territory passing on the story of the Legend that ended the 1st Generation.

Most Kings would do the same, continuing their businesses in their own territories, other kings like, Gongseob Ji, would renounce their position and distance themselves from his past. After the flames of war died out, James Lee would become one of the ten genius and helped Charles Choi build a new era of the crews that would later become the 2nd Generation. He would also be manipulated by Charles Choi which ended in him killing Gapryong Kim before disappearing without a trace.[1] Most of the 1st Generation would take in pupils from the 2nd Generation in order to pass on their training methods, they are still searching for James Lee to pay him back for what he did.[1]

Synthesis[]

Generation 0.5: This "generation" would exist after pre-generation/generation 0 ended and Gapryong Kim handed over most of the organization to his followers (apparently they were pre-generation as well). And as James Lee says, those followers were a problem. Since these would start wars out of greed and thus the first generation would emerge. It is unknown what this "generation" would be like, but it is possible that the teams continued to be called Fists and their leaders would be Bosses.

Generation 1: In this generation, Gapryong Kim's followers would recruit students for their power struggles. In this way, the pregeneration and those students would fight those wars together. The students associated with the pregeneration were called Circles, the leaders of these Circles were known as Kings. Possibly the leaders of the Fists (pre-generation/followers of Gapryong Kim) who participated in the First Generation were still called Chiefs. Some time later, several Kings would go to Cheonliang to help Seongji Yuk. A year later, James Lee would wipe out the first generation by defeating the kings, as well as taking a part of their body (either an eye or a leg). Meanwhile, Charles Choi would already have all 10 of his geniuses at his disposal.

Shortly after, the second generation would begin with the meeting of Charles and some of his geniuses.

Conclusion: It is not known what the fate of the fists was with the appearance of James Lee, because it is only mentioned how he defeated the circles to eliminate the links between the pre-generation and the first generation. You can only make theories and assumptions about what was the fate of the fists that participated in this generation.

Theories[]

1- The simplest answer (the most boring and disappointing) is that the Fists chickened out when they saw how the Circles were defeated and crushed by James Lee.

2- James Lee also took care of the Fists, but it was simply not mentioned explicitly because it perhaps seemed unnecessary to say it at the time. I consider it one of the most probable theories or the most probable.

3- The current king of Seoul would defeat the Fists, in my opinion it is less likely than the two previous theories. I think it might be possible because he is very strong.

4- Daniel's second corps defeated the Fists. I consider it even less likely than the above theory (and by far) due to the fact that in those days he should only be a tween or teenager, plus no one recognized him.

Hypothesis[]

1- One of the three unrevealed geniuses of Charles Choi was the one who defeated the Fists and their Bosses (to put Charles Choi's plan into action and then start the next generation).

2- One of the followers of Gapryong Kim defeated the Fists and their Chiefs, the reason would be the indignation or regret for what the other followers of Gapryong Kim caused.

3- The person who would defeat the Fists would be a member of the "great power". I think at some point they will show us what they are or were capable of doing.

4- A character that we do not know at all was the one who crushed the Fists. I consider it less likely than the previous hypotheses, but who knows.

About the Provinces/Cities[]

Ansan[]

Ansan is an industrial city in Korea, located close to Seoul and south of Incheon, forming part of Gyeonggi Province. Now, within the series, Ansan has as King Taesoo Ma, whose unique fighting style is the use of only one fist (a style that was named Hard Fist).

During the First Generation, it is unknown what the "Ansan Circle" was like, or how Taesoo Ma ran it (or if he even ran it). Currently, Ansan's most notable crew is Ansan Public, which owns a karaoke bar.

After certain events, Ansan Public was subjugated by the Workers' 5th Affiliate, while still managed by Eli Jang. After the departure of Eli Jang and Warren Chae from Workers, Ansan's current status remains unknown.

Busan[]

TBA

Cheonliang[]

Seongji Yuk did not participate in any financial activities in the past. He did not have a legitimate crew to rule over the region as majority of the region had been brainwashed. He lived on a mountain with the Cheonliang Fam to evade the Shaman's false god brainwashing.

Soon after the death of Seongji Yuk and kidnapping of Cheon Taejin, Cheonliang would be developed into a luxury resort with beaches, under the HNH conglomerate.

Chungcheong[]

TBA

Daegu[]

TBA

Incheon[]

TBA

Pyeongtaek[]

TBA

Seoul[]

Seoul was originally run by Jichang Kwak, but later ceded to Kitae Kim after Jichang was taken down. It is known that Kitae immediately left for Mexico after claiming the seat of King of Seoul, leaving Seoul to be divided into the 4 Major Crews later in the Second Generation.

Seongnam[]

TBA

Suwon[]

Suwon engaged in a thug for hire business called the Suwon Staffing Agency run by Seokdu Wang. This business would be then taken over by the Workers' 5th Affiliate after its head got beaten by Eli Jang.

Similarities in Fighting Style[]

While all of the 1st generations fight in distinct styles, all of them run with a consistent theme of training one part of their body to reach its full potential. James Lee trained his legs to become so fast that no one could ever see his attacks, Jichang Kwak trained his hands and upper forearms to make his chops as sharp as blades, Taesoo Ma trained his left fist to become strong enough to crank even boulders, Gongseob Ji trained his torso to make his body be as durable as steel and Seokdu Wang trained his forehead to be able to kill people with just one headbutt.

Nameless Kings[]

Original King of Chungcheong:[]

We know of his existence thanks to a mention by James Lee, apparently he was defeated and usurped by Jichang, after this it is not known what happened to this King. The curious thing about him is that he dominated an entire province, in which there are several cities that could easily have other Kings, even with that problem he was able to dominate the entire place. It is unknown if in Lookism, Chungcheong is just one province OR if it is also divided in two like in real life. If he were the latter, it would mean that he dominated North and South Chungcheong, thus he would be known as the King of Chungcheong. From his level we only know that he is weaker than Jichang, so there is no way to calculate his strength, but he can/could/would be immensely powerful even to be stronger than Suwon, Seongnam and Pyeongtaek kings as he ruled over an area bigger than Seokdu, Pyeongtaek king and Seongnam king areas combined (now not assuming he is stronger than those three combined just that he ruled over an area larger), and it is also in the countryside and we know with Vin Jin that the only fun things to do in the country side is to fight.

Some Speculations[]

About the Kings[]

PTJ mentioned that the kings of the most important cities are the strongest. With this statement he gives us to understand that the kings of cities like Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu (this one we know), Ulsan, Gwangju, Daejeon and Sejong could be one of the strongest.

This is just a guess, but the other Kings that might be close to the level of the ones mentioned above might be the Kings of the provinces. I won't count Jichang because he used to be King Seoul. The reason why he created that they are so skilled is due to the fact that they dominated an entire province despite the competition, since a province has multiple cities. Anyway, this is why the "King of Gyeonggi" may not exist, since in this province are the cities of Ansan, Suwon, Pyeongtaek, Seongnam and as we know these places already have their respective Kings. So definitely, not everyone can dominate an entire province.

As for the King of Seoul, he is obviously the strongest of all the Kings. After all, Seoul is the capital of South Korea so you couldn't expect less from him.

About the future[]

About the Kings of the most important cities and the Kings of the provinces, it is possible that we will see them in the future. Either as a vital support for Allied or as enemies who side with Charles Choi. But most likely, Allied will be helped by most of the Kings to be able to face Charles and his powerful organization, he would undoubtedly have the law and the police on his side, we must not forget the organizations that the Geniuses have that they are on Charles's side. There is also the question about what Goo intends to do, he mentioned that he has his own team and wanted Big Daniel to join him but he rejected it. Regardless of what Goo decides, it would inevitably spark a huge war. It is unknown if this would kick off the Third Generation as members of the Second Generation, First Generation and Pre-Generation would all be involved in this battle in one way or another OR maybe it will still be the Second Generation. It is also likely that it is a "Generation" between the Second and Third.

Considering the fact that Charles/Elite is involved in the death of Gapryong Kim. There is a high chance that "The Great Power" will show up to help Charles Choi, because his worst Korean enemy was Gapryong Kim. If so, characters that were before the Pre-Generation could appear, although obviously they would be too old so perhaps they will not appear and instead their successors are the ones who are present throughout the conflict.

Trivia[]

  • It is unknown who were the members of the pre-generation that recruited students for their power struggles.
  • Every time James Lee fights a King, the background goes up in flames. The reasoning behind this is most likely the Kings' way of asking for help.
