## Plot Overview

### Past (Season 0)

#### Cheonlang IT High Arc

Huijae was a rising star in First Place Gym. However, because of his skills and focus, he would often scare off new members and sparring partners. As he is preparing for a title match, Mukho Baek shows up to the gym as he, himself, use to be part of that gym. The coach convinces Mukho to spar with Huijae and Huijae recognizes him immediate and bows down in respect. Apparently Mukho was know as the Tiger of Jeongleung and the number 1 of the area that made all schools in Seoungbuk District kneel before him. Mukho is bit freaked out at the formalities but agrees to one round. As they spar, Mukho dodges all of Huijae’s strong punches and blocks the weak ones, thus no serious attacks have landed. However, Huijae is not satisfied that Mukho is only defending and cheats by grabbing his arm to throw a punch to his face in order to provoke Mukho. Mukho instinctively retaliates, about to throw a uppercut to Huijae’s face, but all the sudden the bell rings signaling the end of the round. Hujiae apologizes for cheating, but Mukho tells him it was an impressive punch and is sure Huijae will win the title match. Mukho then leaves the gym. Huijae asks the coach why Mukho never debuted or went pro and the coach tells him that Mukho kept saying he had bigger dreams.

In the titles match, Huijae brings the champion to the brink of a KO, dominating the match but was still declared the loser as his gym was unknown and thus Huijae was discriminated against in the scoring. The boxing community continued to discriminate against the First Place Gym, thus Huijae was never able to get another match and chose to retire. He lost his direction in life and was arrested for assault in a street fight. He was unable to pay the settlement and was almost sent to jail, but Inwan Jeong, who saw the fight, paid the settlement for him. Huijae, then, ends up serving under Inwan.

#### Final Grasp

After Minhyeok Kim is killed and Dowon Group erased from society, Huijae decides to leave South Korea as he was briefly accompanied by Siwoo Ha. Just before, he desicrated Minhyeok's ashes so that he may never rest in peace.
