Former quarterback for Monster (USA High School football team)

Deokbong, or as he prefers to be called, Monster, is one of the favourites in the "League of Street" competition. His team is expected to win the competition due to their raw power and speed.

## History

He used to play high school football as a quarter back, wearing jersey #13. He was known as "The Beast of Football" for his ability to dominate the field and run with the ball on his own. A knee injury during a game put a halt to his football career. His team won the American Junior Superbowl while he was on the sidelines. He was forced to give up his dream of playing football in the NFL and return back to Korea. To recover and get his knee back into shape, he cycled. Eventually he chose to pursue biking.

He still has a great relationship with his teammates back in USA. They plan on visiting Korea to watch the finals and cheer him on.

## Personality

He is an honest and fair cyclist who is dedicated to the sport. In round 3 of the finals, he initiated contact with the Humming Bird Crew and went to shake Dom's hand in congratulation for a good race. He hates bad sportsmanship and when Juhwan, leader of the Tridents crew, got injured from foul play, he paid him a visit at the hospital, gifting his rival a stuffed toy shark. He vowed to Juhwan that he would avenge his crew and win against Sabbath.

It is seen and mentioned that he works out ALL the time apart from sleeping and eating, he is addicted to working out and becoming a better version of himself. And he's seen sleeping in classes and only bringing workout tools in his backpack, he uses every opportunity to work out even when his teacher calls him out to the back he would use the chance to do squats while the classes continue.

From what we've seen, Monster does not approve of bullies and infact helps out those in trouble. It's pretty fair to say Monster is a good person, And he is probably in neutral or good terms with Hummingbird as in one of the panels it is also shown that Monster replies to a question that says "If there was a crew you'd be worried about, which crew would it be?" He replies saying Hummingbird.

An exercise freak that would carry weights to school instead of his books.

## Plot

When Owen Knight konek went to pick up some gear for his race against Jay, Monster requested a race against him. After loosing, he decided that after the league, he would train to be a professional, assuming so that he can race Owen again on the world stage.

After Trident's race against Sabbath, he swore to avenge his peer. During the Five Team Survival race, he took it upon himself to keep both Wooin and Joker in check. If Iron Star was not disqualified for cheating, the Sabbath crew might not have made it into the finals.

## Relationships

From what we've seen, he is on neutral terms with most of the characters and crews and he doesn't seem to mind Juhwan as much. But it is known that Juhwan openly dislikes Monster and constanly confronts him to a race saying he'll beat him. The hate got worse when Juhwan confronted Monster about Sugyeong and Monster said, "I want to prevent anything that causes muscle loss."

His relationship with the **Trident Crew** is unknown as he doesn't react to Juhwans confrontations nor does he really focus on them, but when Trident Crew got beaten by The **Sabbath Crew** we could see that Monster was visibly upset and even vowed to Juhwan he would avenge his crew.

His relationship with the **Hummingbird Crew** seems about it, it's very confusing as sometimes it looks like he feels threatened by Dom's progression and speed but sometimes it looks like he's proud. He's been seen on TV saying if he was going to be worried about one crew it would be hummingbird so I'm assuming their relationship is on neutral terms since they do not communicate with eachother much.
