Eugene. He is universally known as the "President" of Workers (Ilhae).
Introduced as a high school student, operating in the 18–19 age range.
Korean.
President of Workers and CEO of its various legal corporate fronts (entertainment agencies, private security, etc.). His income is astronomical, generating billions of won through both legal business ventures and horrific illegal operations (drug trafficking, illegal streaming, kidnapping).
Seoul, South Korea. He operates out of highly secure, pristine corporate boardrooms and luxury penthouses, surrounded by layers of elite bodyguards.
A high school student, but his true education is in corporate warfare, economics, and psychological manipulation. He speaks with the vocabulary of a seasoned, middle-aged corporate magnate.
Short, slender, and physically frail compared to the towering martial artists around him. He possesses absolutely no combat ability.
He has a soft, unthreatening face with neatly parted hair. His eyes are sharp and calculating, usually magnified behind a pair of round, intellectual glasses.
Unlike the other crew heads who are covered in battle scars, Eugene’s defining physical trait is his complete lack of them. His pristine physical state highlights how successfully he has insulated himself behind his fighters.
He weaponizes his appearance. He almost exclusively wears his neatly pressed high school uniform or sharp, understated business suits. It is a deliberate aesthetic designed to make him look like a harmless, polite student, disarming his enemies.
He gives off the sterile, perfectly temperature-controlled aura of a corporate office. His voice is incredibly calm, polite, and unhurried—even when the room is being torn apart by superhumans.
Physically weak. He relies entirely on his intellect and his bodyguards for survival.
Utilitarian, intensely polite, sociopathic, hyper-rational, and fiercely protective of his in-group.
The Wound: The severe bullying and marginalization he and his twin brother, Yuseong, endured as children. Society deemed them weak—Eugene for his body, and Yuseong for his severe neurodivergence.
The Lie: The absolute conviction that human life is merely a commodity, and that hoarding infinite wealth and systemic power is the only way to create a safe world for his brother.
His one true vulnerability is his twin brother, Yuseong. His greatest fear is seeing Yuseong hurt, or losing the carefully constructed empire that keeps them both safe from the cruelty of the world.
His strength is his genius-level intellect, strategic foresight, and ability to buy or blackmail anyone. His weakness is his total physical vulnerability and his emotional blind spot regarding his brother.
Pragmatic evil. He justifies horrific crimes against teenagers, runaways, and streamers because he views the world strictly through a spreadsheet of profit and loss. If an action secures his empire, it is morally justified in his eyes.
Cheerful, polite condescension.
The twin brother of Yuseong (the VVIP of Workers). They are two halves of a whole: Eugene is the unstoppable brain, and Yuseong is the unstoppable brawn. Their bond is the only genuine, unconditional love Eugene experiences.
Realizing early on that physical strength has limits, but money and systemic power do not. He watched his brother be treated like a monster or a victim, and decided to build a world where Yuseong would be treated like a king.
1. Forming Workers and establishing its multi-affiliate corporate structure.
2. Catching the eye of Charles Choi (Elite) and Gun, proving that a crew could generate corporate-level wealth.
3. His realization that to truly be safe, he must eventually betray and overthrow Charles Choi.
He treats relationships strictly as transactions. He recruits absolute monsters (like Tom Lee, Mandeok Bang, and Eli Jang) by finding their exact price—whether that price is money, protection, or leverage.
Overwhelmingly formal. He uses honorifics with everyone, even people he is about to have killed. He addresses other gang leaders as "President" or "Sir."
Pushing up his glasses by the bridge when analyzing a situation.
Assigning a literal monetary value to people's combat strength (e.g., "You possess a combat power worth 10 billion won").
Drinking tea or sipping coffee while watching horrific, blood-splattering fights from a safe distance.
When physically threatened, he doesn't flinch or beg. He simply smiles, knowing that his "shields" (Mandeok or Yuseong) will intercept the blow before it lands. He treats physical violence as a math problem he has already solved.
Corporate acquisitions, reading, and ensuring his brother is happy and entertained.
To destroy Charles Choi, monopolize the underworld, and build an unassailable fortress of wealth so that nobody can ever look down on him or Yuseong again.
Goal: Crush Allied, absorb the other Major Crews, and eliminate the HNH Group.
Need: He desperately needs to maintain the illusion of absolute control, because if the system falls, he and his brother return to being helpless victims.
Eugene is the ultimate "final boss" of the crew-head era. His arc is about the limits of intellect and capital against the chaotic, unpredictable nature of human willpower (represented by Daniel Park and Allied).
Yuseong: His twin brother, his heart, and his ultimate weapon.
Mandeok Bang: His loyal vice-president and primary shield.
Charles Choi: His former benefactor turned ultimate rival. They are playing a high-stakes game of 4D chess against each other.
He holds the key to Charles Choi's past weaknesses and the secrets behind the two bodies. His mind is a vault of blackmail material on every major figure in South Korea.
