Daniel Park visits Gun Park at the Correction Bureau before Lookism Chapter 520, despite Gun rejecting visitors several times. Gun reveals that he had to take the fall for Charles Choi despite having options for an escape, as the two shared a deep history yet to be revealed.
After Kitae Kim’s appearance in the story, he journeys to amend his issues and encounters Sinu Han. The two share heavy blows before Kitae crosses paths with Jake and talks about being related to one another.
Moreover, Jake notices his mother’s lighter hanging on Kitae’s belt, to which the fighter responds that he got the item in exchange for letting her son live. Kitae details that Jake’s mother had requested not to shed blood among relatives.
Daniel then asked Gun why he took all the blame.

Gun replied, "The world is about results. I chose the path to be with Charles Choi, and I did my best to stay on that path. Now you’re asking me to blame Charles Choi? I don’t do that." #lksm519 pic.twitter.com/sXZhuHyWrf
To everyone’s surprise, Kitae reveals that he is Jake’s half-brother, as their father, Gapryong Kim, had a marital affair and kept it a secret for several years before his demise. Jake doesn’t have a good relationship with his father and communicates his feelings to his half-brother.
However, other items on Kitae’s belt reveal that he had killed all his other brothers and spared Jake based on his answer about his father. Later, Sinu mentions that no one can match Kitae’s powers, as his attacks don’t go through.
Before moving to Gun, the story explores the case of the people falsely accused of stealing the worker’s secret. The company took advantage of the convicts because they were immigrants, and Eli Jang decided to take action against the company that framed them.
Gun stayed loyal to the deceased Charles Choi, hinting at an emotional past in Lookism 520!
Before Choi passed away, he entrusted Gun with his secret assets and life as one of his closest assistants. When the authorities moved to capture Gun, Daniel misled Eugene with false information to get in the way of their fight.
Similarly, Daniel wanted to create a suitable plan for Gun to leave the underworld, but Gun chose his destiny and got himself captured. Adding to his reasons, Gun said, “The world is all about results. I chose to walk alongside Charles Choi, and I did my best to follow that path.“
Soon, he began talking about his past in the previous chapter, creating an air of mystery around the spoilers for Lookism 520.
Readers expect the new update, titled Shiro Oni (White Ghost), to delve into Gun’s past as one of the major antagonists in the series.
We know Gun's not the type to say "sorry," but he actually DID when he rejected Goo. Maybe part of him felt bad, and wonder, if he had met Goo before Charles Choi, he might’ve chosen him instead. #LOOKISM #외모지상주의 #外見至上主義 pic.twitter.com/Gsn5BSG1MZ

Moreover, he is a fighter of legendary status and the personal bodyguard of the HNH Chairman’s daughter, Crystal Choi. Park Gun is also one of the ten geniuses raised by Charles Choi, and the fighters performed illegal acts under Choi’s wings.
From prison, Gun plans to tell Daniel everything about his past and the events that led him to become a feared fighter in the underworld. Readers argue that this backstory will be emotional, which doesn’t change the fact that he is remorseful.
Similarly, in the Hunt for Big Deal arc, Gun’s mere presence alone controlled the majority of Workers, and he defeated Mandeok Bang and Magami Kenta with minimal damage.
According to the author, Gun grew up as the son of a very famous leader of the Yamazaki syndicate and traveled all over Japan to learn martial arts from different masters.
Now, the new release might explore the fighter’s struggle in the underworld and his actions to gain Charles Choi’s trust.
