Jake Kim

Jake Kim (김기명, Kim Gimyeong) is the leader of the West River gang, known as Big Deal.

Jake Kim is described as an attractive man with a tall, slender figure. Although he has demonstrated a range of facial expressions, his eyebrows are usually raised, and he maintains a calm demeanor. His hair is black, and his eyes are a deep brown.

Throughout the series, he goes through three different hairstyles. From his introduction, he has the typical Korean man's hair length, styled to one side of his forehead. When he returns to the story in the Juvenile Prison Arc, he sports an Edgar-style haircut. At the end of that arc, his hair grows longer and adopts a spiky style. However, he later reverts to a buzz cut. He gets a scar after fighting Gun, which runs from his cheek to his lip (in the game, he doesn't have a scar). He gets another scar on his nose when he fights Xiaolong in the 3rd Branch arc.

Jake is a charming and charismatic individual who is initially courteous to everyone he meets. He easily gains Jiho's trust, and Jiho mistakes him for a friend until Jake reminds him that they are merely business partners. During the Jake Kim Arc, Jake's disdain for gangs is revealed, stemming from his relationship with his father, whom Jake describes as a gang leader known for being fair to others but unfair to his own family.

During his high school years, Jake is laid-back and doesn't care about being the school leader. Ironically, like his father, he's someone who can't tolerate injustice and inequality, which he demonstrates when he fights the juniors for "standing up" to Brad and Jason back in middle school, and also when he fights Samuel Seo to help the street vendors Big Deal protects. To his allies, Jake is a compassionate leader. He fought hard to maintain Big Deal's independence, and its members deeply value him, making them one of the most loyal groups. He values ​​honest and fair people and dislikes those who fight dirty.

During the series, Jake notices that he begins to sound like Sinu Han, the former leader of Big Deal, who showed Jake the value of "romance" and passion, ideals that the latter follows.

After his time in juvenile detention, Jake's personality begins to change. He becomes insensitive to his initial ideals of fairness and focuses solely on revenge. In the One Night II Arc, his former sense of humor resurfaces. He makes sneezing jokes, flashes his rear end at Vivi, and plays word chain with Johan Seong and Daniel Park while working undercover as a bouncer at Vivi's club. However, he still maintains a serious demeanor when necessary, such as when searching for clues about Sinu Han's whereabouts.

Jake Kim is one of the most skilled fighters in the series, utilizing a fighting style based on MMA and the street fighting style of his father, Gapryong Kim. He is extremely adept at combat and is the third person to defeat Euntae Lee in the webtoon (the others being Daniel and Gun). This fact is relevant in the early parts of the series, as it establishes the dominance of the Big Four Gangs.

While it could be argued that Daniel is faster, Jake defeated Euntae, who, as Daniel mentioned earlier, was the second person to visibly injure Gun. Jake was also able to defeat Xiaolong, who was comparable to Gun in strength. And, in chapter 388, he blocked a kick from Sinu, who had "invisible" kicks.

Oh, you mean they're not extras? You're not the only one with a story. Everyone is dealing with their own issues. War? That's how we greet each other. First Workers' Union membership. Shall we play?

"A good man always knows how to take care of his women." His father said this phrase, and he doesn't like it because his father had been unfaithful to his mother repeatedly, causing her a lot of pain.

Jake was the youngest leader in Big Deal's history, taking the helm at 16 years old. He is the oldest team leader among the four major gangs. Her favorite cake is red velvet. He repeated his second year of high school. When motivated, his right eye is drawn as shining in magenta color. Jake has an extremely similar appearance to his father, Gapyrong Kim, when he was the same age.
