## Trivia

* He is one of the few characters to appear in both Superstring and Bluestring.
	+ In Bluestring, he is currently alive unlike Superstring where is killed by Hwan Seok.
* In season 1, ep. 61 it was stated through unofficial and official sources that he was revealed to be at the age of 40. However, the official English from webtoon doesn't. It would seem that the official translators blatantly ignore this.
	+ If our timeline is correct, he should be 26 years old during Hanlim Gym (Season 1).
* The one time Seonggyu is seen losing his full compusure as to his usual self is when Gwangcheon left and won against Dowon Group of them leaving him alone.
* The way how he killed Seokho Kim is very similar to how he was killed by Hwan Seok.
* Apparently, he couldn't read the Pentakill formula in English; suggesting he is not good with English.
* Before Hwan knocks him down, he was going to tell Jinho about a rumor he heard of Minhyeok's Mother. Although it is not disclosed, it is likely to be a crossover reference. Likely about Y&Y Group and the fake church from Terror Man.
