**Olly Wang (왕오춘 Wang O-Chun)** is a supporting character and antagonist in *Lookism*. He is the head of Hostel A.

## Appearance

Olly wears dreadlocks with a brown headband and a large, brown, fur coat. He has a tattoo of a compass under his eye and wears casual clothing underneath his jacket. In his youth, he was a bespectacled young man that had short, neat, black hair and a blue collard shirt and dark jeans.

## Personality

Olly is a reckless character and is often seen making psychotic faces. His first appearance was leaping off a building and landing on James' car. Despite his craziness, Olly is a very intelligent character and impressed Gun with his business skills the first time they met. Jin Jang also decided to work with Olly because he was one of the smartest heads of the crews. This is further supported by the fact that Olly not only saw through Jin Jang's plans and predicted Jang's betrayal but allowed it to happen in order to get Jin Jang to create a distraction, allowing Olly to have alone time with Eli.

In the flashback chapters, Olly is introduced as a weak but ambitious person. Upon knowing more about Eli Jang he praises him and wants to be like him, going to extreme lengths to get his attention. Many fans compare him to Jiho, as both characters wanted to be praised but got the wrong idea of being superior. However, while Jiho was often spiteful of Daniel's friendship and used Daniel and Zach as a means to a higher status, Olly desperately wanted to be a part of Eli's friend group but was repeatedly rejected by Eli because he was not an orphan like the rest of them.

In the end, Olly desperately wants to be accepted by Eli Jang and Hostel, because he considers them family. In Chapter 239 he remarked that the “O” in Hostel should represent Olly himself not Warren. It is later revealed, despite everything, he always considered Hostel his family above anything else and worked in his own way to protect them, such as covering Hostel B's payments to Gun and making Gun promise not to hurt Eli.

His reckless behavior and choices can be attributed to the fact that he cannot feel pain or emotions. This inability to feel anything also contributes to his obsession with Eli Jang because he believes that Eli is the only one who has made him feel anything previously (this is later revealed to be false, and his guilt over his involvement in Heather's death is really what caused the feelings). He often makes exaggerated facial expressions because he is forced to act because he doesn't feel emotions. Due this, he had to practice his facial expressions.

## Fighting Prowess

Not much is known about Olly's current fighting skills. He used to be weak when he was friends with Eli Jang, however he later underwent training by Gun, as head of one the four crews.

While we don't know the components of his training, we do know that Olly feels no pain and fear towards anyone. This gives him almost supernatural endurance and durability, to the point where he can even tank hits from Warren Chae, Eli Jang, and Gun with no issue. The training has also given him Aikido as one of his martial arts.

It is hinted by several characters that Olly may be one of the strongest fighters in the entire series. Jin Jang has noted that Olly Wang rarely fights others on his own, relying on the Uncles instead. He also does not put much work into his crew, instead using Hostel as a means to find Eli. Jin Jang even went so far as to say if Olly had made any serious moves he would have been the one to "dissolve the four crews into one".

Additionally, Goo and Gun have noted in one of their conversations that it was ridiculous for Olly to seek out Eli if he wanted to feel fear because Olly was stronger than Eli.

## Trivia

* Olly Wang is one of the few Chinese characters in Lookism, as well as Justin Peng and Chuck Kwak.
* Olly Wang has some form of congenital analgesia allowing him to feel no pain which allowed him to grow very strong in a short amount of time under Gun's training.
* Gun offered him training in a fighting style that was perfectly suited to his body and skills but he turned him down in order to become a copy of Eli and his fighting skills.
* Jin Jang has speculated that if Olly Wang had put in as much effort into Hostel A as the other Crew Heads did, he would have been the one to unite all four crews under his control.
* Olly Wang didn't fear Eli, just felt guilt for the reason of killing Heather.
