Although few believe it, he has a protective side that he only uses with people he truly cares about, though currently he has no one due to his conflicts and being part of the Union.

His relationship with Baekjin:
He has a particularly interesting relationship with Na Baek-jin, as their ways of acting are quite different: Baek-jin is much more calculating, while Seong-je is impulsive and constantly seeks out situations that he finds stimulating.

Yeon Sieun:
As the story progresses, Seong-je becomes increasingly involved in the conflict surrounding Yeon Si-eun and the students of Eungang High School.
The problem for Si-eun is that Seong-je is not an easy enemy to predict. Si-eun can usually analyze her adversaries and prepare strategies, but Seong-je can change his behavior quickly.
This makes their confrontations a particularly complicated situation.

The relationship between the two is primarily hostile.
Si-eun uses intelligence, observation, and strategy to compensate for her physical disadvantage.
Seong-je represents almost the opposite:
physical strength + aggressiveness + unpredictability.
Si-eun tries to understand how her opponent thinks before confronting them. Seong-je, on the other hand, may act simply because she wants to.
This makes Seong-je a particularly awkward adversary for Si-eun.

Baku / Park Hu-min:
His relationship with Park Hu-min is marked by the conflict between opposing groups.
Hu-min is physically strong, but he also has a much more protective and friend-focused personality.
Seong-je, on the other hand, enjoys confrontation much more.
This creates a contrast between the two: Hu-min fights to protect others; Seong-je fights mainly because confrontation is part of his way of relating to others.
Na Baekjin:
This is one of their most important relationships.
Na Baek-jin is much more calculating, organized, and strategic.
Seong-je is much more impulsive.
That's why there's a kind of contrast between the two:
He also has a particularly interesting relationship with Na Baek-jin, as their personalities are quite different: Baek-jin is much more calculating, while Seong-je is impulsive and constantly seeks out stimulating situations. Baek-jin is the leader of the Union, while Seong-je is his right-hand man.

Physical strength
That is its main characteristic.
Seong-je possesses considerable strength and can face students who would normally be very difficult to defeat.
Hand-to-hand combat
He has a lot of fighting experience and it doesn't depend solely on his size.
He uses direct and aggressive blows and can hold his own in a fight even against physically strong opponents.
Endurance
He can take hits and keep fighting, which demonstrates a fairly high level of physical endurance.
Combat instinct
Probably one of its best features.
He doesn't always fight with perfect technique. He often reacts quickly to what his opponent does, taking advantage of opportunities during the fight.
Intimidation
His reputation is also a weapon.
His unpredictable behavior can make other students feel intimidated even before they face him.

The Union is a huge organization made up mainly of students and school gangs.

What is the Union?

The Union functions as a kind of power network between different schools. Instead of each student group controlling only its own school, the Union connects different schools under a single structure.

Their main objective is to expand their influence and control territories and school groups, using force, money, and relationships among their members.

How is it organized?

The Union has a fairly hierarchical structure:

Na Baek-jin → is one of the central figures and the one with the greatest authority within the organization.

Leaders and important figures → each one can have influence over certain schools or groups.

Members of different schools → follow the orders of superiors and participate in the activities of the organization.

Thugs and fighters → are mainly used to intimidate, collect debts, control students, or confront rival groups.

Not all members have the same relationship with the Union. Some are there for convenience, others out of fear, and others because they genuinely want to be part of that system.

How does he gain power?

The Union does not depend solely on fighting.

Use different forms of pressure:

1. Money:
   Money is an important part of how they operate.

2. Territorial control:
   Having different schools under his influence increases his power.

3. Violence:
   Strong members can intimidate or defeat those who resist.

4. Information and contacts:
   The organization also benefits from knowing what is happening in different schools.

5. Hierarchy:
   Lower-ranking members are accountable to people with higher authority.

Eunjang is different because it doesn't function like a perfectly structured criminal organization. Its members are united primarily by friendship, loyalty, and mutual protection.

Therefore, the conflict can be summarized as follows:

Union: power → control → hierarchy → influence.

Eung: friendship → loyalty → protection → resistance.

And that's where characters like Yeon Si-eun, Park Hu-min, Seo Jun-tae, and Go Hyun-tak come in, who end up confronting the Union system.

After arriving at Eunjang, Yeon Si-eun tries to lead a relatively normal school life, but ends up getting involved in conflicts related to the Union.
The Union already has influence over numerous schools and sees Eungang as a territory it needs to control.
Si-eun, for his part, is not willing to accept that other students control his new school.
Furthermore, he begins to form bonds with Hu-min, Hyun-tak, and Jun-tae, so the conflict ceases to be solely his.

The confrontation ends up becoming something much bigger than a simple fight between students.
Eung represents the resistance of a group that does not want to be subjected to the structure of the Union, while Baek-jin tries to maintain control of his organization.
That's why the confrontation between Si-eun and Baek-jin is so important: it's not just a physical fight, but a clash between strategy, power, control, and loyalty.
And Geum Seong-je adds even more chaos because her actions don't always exactly follow Baek-jin's plans.

Part of the conflict begins because Park Humin is Na Baekjin's former childhood best friend, and Baekjin wants Park Humin to join the Union. But Park Humin always refuses, because he doesn't want to gain power by hurting others or through underhanded tactics.
