"*Without talent, the skill to copy is nothing but imitation.*"
—Jinyoung Park in episode Ep. 468

**Jinyoung Park** is an antagonist in Lookism, and a member of the Ten Geniuses and one of 5 VVIPs of Workers.

## Appearance

Jinyoung is a fairly tall, slender guy with a muscular physique. He has black disheveled hair. He is seen donning a white lab coat over a black turtleneck with navy blue trousers. His appearance when young has been noted to be similar to that of (OG) Daniel Park.

## Personality

At this point of the story, he has a bit of a "mad scientist" temperament. He is mentally unstable, and start to act cruelly when someone does something he doesn't like, such as torturing Daniel Park by stabbing him with dozens of needles because he smiled despite being in a very tough situation.

Nonetheless, according to Eugene and Tom Lee's comments, it seems like he didn't have that personality pan originally, but rather that it appeared after he went crazy.

## Relationships

### Gapryong's Fist

#### Gapryong Kim

Former superior and colleague: Jinyoung Park was a member of Gapryong Kim's fist and its action leader.

#### Tom Lee

Jinyoung Park thinks of him as an enemy, because he strongly believes that Tom Lee is responsible for Gapryong Kim's death. Jinyoung went into a fit after seeing Tom Lee, immediately attacking him especially after hearing him say "Elite".

Also, Tom Lee created the White Tiger Job Center with the principal hope of finding Jinyoung Park, meaning business is definitely happening between them.

#### Charles Choi

As a former colleague of Jinyoung in Gapryong Kim's Fist Gang, their relationship hasn't been clarified yet, but seeing the fact that Park Jinyoung reacts very strongly whenever he hears Charles' nickname (Elite), it seems that something is going on between the two of them.

In the most recent chapters, Jinyoung has been referred to as Charles Choi's biggest weakness, apart from the evidence Bakgu Noh possessed that proved his hand in the cover-up of Gapryong Kim's death.

#### Bakgu Noh

As a former member of Gapryong's Fist Gang, a member of the pre-generation, and a person who worked as Gapryong Kim's driver, he is familiar with Jinyoung. However, they may have a fairly close relationship, as he refers to Daniel with the Korean honorific "도련님" ("Young Master") as soon as he recognizes his resemblance with Jinyoung.

Jake Kim

In a flashback, Jake Kim stated that as a child, he remembered visiting the clinic and seeing Jinyoung Park, his uncle. Jinyoung Park treated Jake kindly, and gave him whatever he wanted. In the present, Jinyoung didn't recognize Jake as he went through a traumatic truth alone, and thus went crazy and couldn't remember him. He regained his grip on reality later on and helped Jake Kim and Allied

#### Daniel Park

Although nothing has been fully confirmed yet, and since this is a very big part of the plot, there are lots of hypothesis, but the most probable one is that Jinyoung is Daniel's father:

* Daniel's father is still a mystery, and both have the same last name, "Park".
* Jinyoung's face is often drawn by retouching Big Daniel's face in past appearances. Even if there is a possibility that this may just be panel reusing, it's quite obvious that this is intentionally done, as Daniel's face is the only one that's used when this process is used by the author.
* He has the same copy talent as Daniel, when it's an extremly rare talent that only Johan Seong possesses outside of them.
* The fact that Charles Choi gave Daniel his second body a fake identity, when he was a close colleague of Jinyoung Park.
* When Daniel's grandmother saw his physical transformation in his original body for the first time, she recognized him as Jinyoung.
* In episode 439, Daniel is refered to by Noh Bakgu as "도련님" ("Young Master"), a Korean honorific term that can be used for the son of someone superior hierarchically to you. He also noted that Daniel's face is that of Jinyoung's younger self, and even mentionned that Daniel is of Jinyoung's bloodline.

There is however counterarguments to this theory, mainly the fact that it's Daniel's second body that's the most compared and related to Jinyoung Park, and that Tom Lee, that made finding Jinyoung one of his main goal, did not show any reaction even after seeing Daniel's second body, nor did Jinyoung when capturing him into the First Affiliate of Workers. But it's also possible to argue that considering Jinyoung's mental condition, he forgot he had a son, or he abandoned him (which would explain why Park Sangcheol is considered his father, as he would have raised him as his own son), and that he managed to hid to Tom Lee he had a son as well as he hid his own traces from him all these years.

## Synopsis

He is a member of the pre-generation, as a former executive for Gapryong Kim's Fist Gang, and is currently one of the last out of the five VVIP of Workers. He is also one of Charles Choi's Ten Genuises, the "Medical Genius".

Based on the second Thanksgiving arc, seeing he is related to both the main character (Daniel) and the final boss (Elite), it seems he will play a fairly important role in the future progress of the story.

## Fighting Prowess

His fighting style hasn't been revealed yet, but it has been disclosed that he is among the three persons in the entire verse that possesses the Copying Ability (the other two being Daniel Park and Johan Seong).

Moreover, although he is probably far from his heyday level of fighting, if we consider his position in Gapryong's Fist Gang, it's clear that he is a strong man with enough fighting power to have the upper hand on a character such as Tom Lee, who is recognized in the verse and acknowledged by the author as one of the strongest fighters.

That aside, he is the only one among the executives of Gapryong's Fist Gang that has not suffered any physical damage (for reference, Elite lost his arm, and Tom Lee his hand). Instead, he seems to suffer from a severe mental illness that would greatly decrease his combat capability, which could be seen as a worse handicap than Charles Choi's missing arm or Tom Lee's missing hand.

## Quotes

* "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Your uncle is so sorry...! Your uncle should've protected you... but I was so foolish and lacking...! Uncle should've been the one to protect everything.. your uncle should've protected everyone...! I'm so sorry that I let your dad die..."
* "You brat, did you forget what your uncle told you? That I would do anything, for you Jake. That's right. From now on, your uncle will be on your side."

## Trivia

* He seems to know someone other than Daniel Park that also has two bodies, seeing his reaction when he learned that Daniel indeed had two. It makes him the third person (along with DG and Charles) that knows for sure about Daniel's two bodies.
* He is almost certainly the person responsible for the making of the medicine that Olly Wang and Sinu Han were seen taking.
* He's named after Singer Park Jin-young from JYP Entertainment.
