Seo-Won (Male, 25-30, Asian, Supporting) is a medium height, stocky man and the leader of a pack part of a criminal syndicate. He is responsible for the death of Ha-Yoon. A man without fear, he meant to send a message to Tae-Bin by killing Ha-Yoon to make sure Tae-Bin stopped snooping. Unfortunately, his actions warranted the opposite reaction.

Joon-Yun (Male, 22-30, Asian, Supporting) is a medium height and lanky man. He is Seo-Won’s top henchman and bodyguard. His job is to follow and protect Seo-Won with his life, and will fight to the death to do such.
