Shi Woon Lee

Shi Woon is our loser protagonist, an Ordinary High School Student who is constantly picked on by bullies. He believes his life is so miserable, that he decides to end it all... until he is saved by Chun Woo, the weird new teacher and secret martial artist. From then on he is determined to learn to fight and stand up for himself, going so far to jump off a bridge to convince Chun Woo that he is serious. So far he has impressed everyone with his progress and character growth.

Chun Woo Han

Shi Woon may be the protagonist, but the plot really revolves around Chun Woo. He is the eccentric, laid-back, and perverted substitute teacher at Shi Woon's school, but in actuality he is the "Goonmoonryung (Nine Arts Dragon)", one of the greatest martial artists in the world and a big player in the complicated politics of the murim-in. His conflict with the leaders of the murim-in eventually spills over into Shi Woon's life...

Shiho

The sexy, mysterious Action Girl who takes a job as a health teacher at Shi Woon's high school. Although she isn't anywhere near Chun Woo's level, she's more than capable of taking care of herself. Much to Chun Woo's frustration, it's hard to tell if she has real feelings towards him or it's just part of her act. She does.

Alex

The new "janitor" at Shi Woon's school. He is a transporter with connections to the "Black Forest Defense Group", a notorious group among the murim-in. He has a crush on Shiho.

Sosul

Officially titled "Princess" Sosul, she is the leader of the Sun Woo, a prestigious martial arts clan. Shi Woon (with Chun Woo's help) saved her from the Torrent Clan, who had kidnapped her for unknown reasons. Although it took some time for her to warm up to Shi Woon, her loyalty now lies with him.

 "Idiot, worry about yourself when you're about to die."

The Chief of the Alliance

The current Big Bad, and the target of Chun Woo's revenge for his part in the death of Unwol, Chun Woo's master. He seeks the "Black Heaven and Earth" technique, which was passed down from Unwol to Chun Woo to Shi Woon.

Kangsung De-Hyung

The first disciple of Song Hak Jang clan and widely known as one of the strongest Murim currently around. For most of the Part 1, he is working with the Chief of the Alliance but shows to be more of Anti-Villain and all around level headed individual.

Hyuk So Chun

The young leader of the Chun-Do-Moon (Heavenly Way School), another prestigious martial arts clan. He is considered a prodigy in martial arts. He ostensibly goes along with the Chief of the Alliance, but he has his own motives.

Mamungi

The leader of the Torrent Clan, a biker gang (emphasis on "gang"). Most notable for having a freaky face and a strange habit of calling Shi Woon "cutie". He and his gang seem like complete monsters at first, but as of now Mamungi at least has become an ally. Mamungi is also one of the Supernovas, a group of four martial artists whose significance is yet to be revealed.

Yi Gyu-Bum

Sun Woo's retainer, introduced near the end of Part I as an antagonist. However, he switches sides and gains much more prominence in New Waves as an ally of Shi Woon. Like Mamungi, he is one of the four "Supernova".

  • Battle Butler: Played with in that he initially appears to be loyal to the Alliance, but it's revealed that he's the retainer for the Sun Woo family. As soon as he finds out about what happened to Sosul, he switches sides. And now he works for Shi Woon.
  • Eyes Always Shut: Unless he is really pissed.
  • Hidden Depths: Initially appears to be just a guard, but like Mamungi he is a "Supernova".
  • Red Baron: His "Supernova" nickname is translated as Southern Red Star
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: He is one of the few Sun Woo authority figures that aren't trying to manipulate or deceive Shi Woon.
  • Sharp Dressed Man/Badass in A Nice Suit
  • Undying Loyalty: Towards the leader of Sun Woo, whoever that may be--initially Sosul, but now Shi Woon.

Jinie Kwong

First appearing in New Waves, she is the bodyguard assigned to Shi Woon by the Sun Woo Clan. She's pretty and a skilled fighter, and has close connections to the Sun Woo leadership. Unfortunately, she's also loud, harsh, hard to get along with, and hates her new assignment.

Yoo Ji-Gun

First seen in New Waves. He appears to be a new transfer student at Shi Woon's school, but in actuality is a murim prodigy involved in a plot against Shi Woon.

  • Badass
    • Badass Crew: he's trying to set one up in order to oppose SUC.
  • Big Damn Heroes: He arrives just in time on his bike to save Jinie and Shioon from a large group SUC mooks.
  • Bishonen: Has a lot of fangirls at Shi Woon's school.
  • Cool Bike
  • Child Prodigy
  • Defeat Means Friendship: In the most recent chapters, he and Shioon have teamed up temporarily in order to fight SUC.
  • Defector From Decadence: Ji-Gun was once apart of the early S.U.C, until the new leader took command and reformed it into the current incarnation.
  • Drama Preserving Handicap / Worf Had the Flu: The reason why he can't fight Yang Yong-Hyun at full strength is because he seriously injured his shoulder when Yong-Hyun rammed them with his Porsche.
  • Finger Poke of Doom: One of his moves.
  • Good All Along: It is revealed later on that the only reason he was trying to kill Shioon is because he thought Shioon was a member of SUC. After he finds out that this is not the case, he acts far less antagonistic and has even teamed up with him in recent chapters.
  • Jerkass
    • Jerk With a Heart of Gold: He's played off as an asshole villain near the beginning, but recent chapters have shown that he is a lot nicer than earlier hinted. For example, one of the main reasons he is opposing SUC is because he cannot stand how they are involving innocents in the world of the Murim.
  • I Am Not Left Handed: An astounding fighter unarmed, but he's actually a swordsman who just happens to using his finger in place of a blade.
  • Mr. Fanservice: In-story.
  • New Transfer Student
  • Perpetual Smiler
  • Pet the Dog: Helps Jinie go into hiding, and later on saves both her and Shioon from an army of mooks.
  • Taking the Bullet: Taking Yang Yong-Hyun's attack that was aimed at Shioon.
  • They Call Him "Sword": Also known as Smiling Sword.
  • Whip Sword: When serious, he has a retractable sword he usually keeps wrapped around his wrist that is flexible as enough to be used similar to a short range whip at times.

Sera Kang

Also makes her debut in New Waves. The grandaughter of the principal of Shi Woon's school, she is apparently tasked with avenging her grandfather's death. A very skilled martial artist.

  • Extremity Extremist
  • Facial Markings: A Tattoo under his left eye.

  • Paper Cutting: Gets a small cut on his cheek when Elder Kwong in fit throws a small binder thrown with enough force to be lodge itself into a door right as he uses that door to walk out of the room.

Elder Jae-Kyu Kwong

One of the top elders of the Sun Woo Clan, he is considered second only to the Clan head within the ranks of the Sun Woo but has enough power that if he wanted he could form his own clan.

  • Flash Step: To the point of flashing forward about 30 feet, while beating 11 S.U.C. mooks, in the blink of an eye, in what was to him a single step.
  • Freudian Excuse: His primary concern is the Sunwoo Clan, this is in part because when he was younger along with Master Soh, one of the previous heads, they helped raise the clan to be one of the top of Murim world. But Soh sacrificed his life to save him during a battle. When the clan stability was threatened by his daughter, Lady Hyae-jin, who left for the US and broke the arranged marriage with Soh's son (Sosul's father), he worked hard to keep the Sunwoo clan relevant, and thus not very fond that Shioon is considered the new Head of the Sunwoo Clan thanks to Lady Sosul.
  • Heel Realization: After finding the truth regarding Lady Hyae-jin, how he blamed everything on her and Jinie; and realizing that Shioon, with a severe handicap, fought against Yang Yong-Hyun because he was protecting a gravely injured Jinie.

  • Lightning Bruiser

  • Pet the Dog: To Shioon!

 Elder Kwong: (To Shioon) You fought well, I'll take it from here

Elder Kwong: (To Jung Chun) Who gave you permission to go back as you please?
