Wolf Keum

* 17 Years Old
* 16 Years Old

## Webtoon Debut

Chapter 60

**Wolf Keum** (금성제, *Keum Seongje*; "*Seongje Keum*") is a supporting antagonist in *Weak Hero*. Wolf is the head of Ganghak High School and the newest member of the Yeongdeungpo Union, holding the fifth ranking on the Shuttle Patch website. He is known for his overly cruel and violent nature, as stated by Eugene when talking about the Union. He serves as the secondary antagonist of the Ganghak Arc.

## Appearance

Wolf Keum has wavy purple hair, black eyebrows, and grey eyes. He is often shown with white bandages somewhere on his body (most visibly his face), suggesting his tendency to pick fights. He always wears his half-rim nickel-framed glasses, except when he is planning on fighting. He is often depicted wearing his red school uniform blazer in combination with a white button up shirt or graphic long-sleeved t-shirt.

In middle school, he had shorter hair.

## Personality

Wolf is a very arrogant individual, who despises people who are or act weak (e.g. Gray when he is shaking in fear at the start of their fight, whenever he sees Grape acting submissive). He holds himself in a fairly high regard, often taking pride in reminding people, such as Forrest, of his infamy.

People around him often comment on how impulsively he acts. This is demonstrated well by his "three-second" rule, which he uses as an excuse to pick fights with random individuals. In combination with his tendency to be quick to anger and violence, he frequently reinforces his reputation as a unpredictable and vicious individual. Throughout the comic, he is compared to a "mad-dog" to further illustrate these aspects of his character.

He enjoys inflicting pain, to the point of sadism, and is often being shown smiling gleefully when beating up his subordinates and others. While he enjoys violence, he quickly becomes bored if someone he picks a fight with does not provide a challenge.

He is capable of showing respect to others. This is most clear in his relationship with Donald Na, with whom he is initially shown to listen to without complaint in contrast to how he interacts with others. After his defeat by Gray, he seems to have developed a strong respect for his will and strength, commenting "What a funny guy", rather than demonstrating any anger towards his defeat.

## History

He is first mentioned and shown briefly in during Eugene's summary of the Yeongdeungpo Union, where he states that Wolf is considered a "dark horse who made a sudden debut recently and took over Ganghak". Despite his relatively new status as a part of the Union, he was already infamous at the time of the series start, having made the red blazer of Ganghak High a symbol of fear.

He used to go to the same middle school as Grape from Hyeongshin High, where he was Grape's bully. Before joining the Yeongdeungpo Union, he also fought and defeated Forrest Lee before Myles Joo was expelled from the Union; this fight was incited by Wolf's "three-second" rule.

## Plot

### Ganghak Arc

Wolf was introduced during a visit to Hyeongshin High to pick up documents following a change in leadership and oversight caused by Hyeongshin High's defeat. He calls out to Grape by his real name, Sam, and forces him to stand by while he browses the acquired documents. Throughout the scene, Wolf insults and belittles Grape, establishing the continuation of their bully-victim relationship from middle school.

It is revealed that during a Union meeting, Donald Na ordered Hyeongshin High to begin reporting to Ganghak High as a form as punishment for their inability to defeat Eunjang High.

Later, the story focuses on Jared Sun, one of Wolf's more prominent subordinates in Ganghak. Jared is shown presenting gifts and showering the teachers with praise to fulfill Wolf's request to win support from the school administration. While Jared dutifully reports back to Wolf, as with many of the relationships in the comic, Jared is using Wolf to build his own reputation and presumably also become closer to Donald Na. He recognizes him as an exceptionally intelligent and powerful individual with great business sense.

After Jared's encounter with Rowan Im, Jared concocts a plan to frame Rowan for theft against the Union to trick Wolf into carrying out his revenge on Rowan for disrespecting him. He does this by having two of his cronies pretend to be Eunjang students and steal a bag containing Union money and company files from two students who were tasked in picking up these items for Wolf. The bag is cleared out by Jared and given to Julia, a female delinquent who then gives it to Rowan under the guise of a gift in apology for ruining Rowan's schoolbag.

Wolf does not react well to the loss of the bag, threatening and beating the students who lost it. Forrest Lee also tries to take advantage of Wolf's oversight after being delayed payment but is put in place by Wolf who reminds him of their hierarchy.

The delinquents, who are now desperate to find the culprits, are able to record of video of Rowan carrying the bag. Wolf becomes convinced of Rowan's guilt when he sees the video. In order to try and catch Rowan, Wolf and his subordinates wait at the intersection where the video is taken. They do not find Rowan and instead see Eugene and Gray. Gray, for reasons unknown, stares at Wolf when he notices him across the street. Wolf enacts his three second rule when they make eye contact but ultimately cannot fight Gray because of him having caught the bus with Eugene. His interest in fighting Gray ignites when his subordinates inform him soon after that he is the White Mamba. With this information in mind, he demands the two students to bring the thief and the White Mamba to the rooftop of Pass Edu.

Rowan and Eugene are eventually caught by Hwangmo and Hayden and brought to the rooftop. They are interrogated and beaten by Wolf, with a pleased Jared watching in the background. Rowan tries to hit Wolf with his elbow, but instead of knocking out Wolf, Rowan manages to just aggravate him more. Rowan and Eugene continue to deny their guilt, confused by the entire situation, and are beat until they cannot stand. Satisfied with this outcome, Wolf orders Jared and a couple of other Ganghak students to bring Gray to him.

On the rooftop, Gray does not respond to any of Wolf's provocations because of having a strong reaction to his trigger. Unable to provoke a fight out of Gray, Wolf erroneously assumes Gray's tough act during their earlier stare down was a bluff. Wolf also believes that Gray has acted scared in the past (in combination with his "pretty face") to get away from similar situations. He kicks and punches Gray repeatedly, annoyed by how boring the White Mamba turned out to be. Eugene tries to intervene to no avail.

Gray continues to allow himself to be beaten. Bored, Wolf comments casually about throwing Gray off the rooftop. This comment causes Gray to snap and retaliate viciously. Wolf is eventually overcome by Gray's various unconventional fighting strategies like tying his sleeves up, hitting the pressure point on his foot, and knocked out by a flower pot. Wolf awakens later, surrounded by all of his underlings except for Jared. He orders everyone to leave and once he is alone, Wolf considers Gray to be a funny guy.

Back at school, Jared tells Wolf that he not to worry about things since Donald won't be able to handle everything on his own with the additional companies. Wolf asks why Jared's face is fine because the other Ganghak students were visibly scuffed up when Wolf woke up. Jared had fled through the emergency stairs to avoid being beaten next. Wolf asks how Jared knew about the additional companies. Jared mentions that the Union has lots to do with shipping and Wolf asks how he knew the additional companies were shipping companies. An enraged Wolf pummels Jared while threatening him to bring back the missing money and documents.

Wolf and his group within Ganghak have cut ties with Jared. Two students working for Wolf refuse to help Jared when Toby takes revenge on him. Wolf is also shown in later continuing his violence and threats against Jared to recover the lost money.

Wolf is being shown contemplating the possibility of taking a break from the Union business. He expresses to Hwangmo on the phone about how sick he is of the work and "bull crap" he has to deal with on behalf of Donald Na and the Union. Unfortunately, Donald Na overhears this. When confronted, Wolf decides to honestly share his frustration about being used and forced to play along with the "bullshit" and sly individuals of the Union. Donald is immediately visibly displeased. He taunts Wolf and dares him to confront him about his methods. He implicates that Wolf's straight forward and single-minded methods of simply "beating up bastards who get in his way" would be an insufficient strategy to build and sustain an organization such as the Union. Wolf, humiliated and fearful of a fate similar to Myles Joo, lashes out, but is quickly overpowered by Donald. As Donald prepares to continue beating Wolf, he is stopped by Kingsley Kwan. Donald leaves with Kingsley and instructs Wolf to find him in Yeouinaru once he's reflected on the recent events and his place in the Union.

### Daehyeon Arc

Wolf eventually goes to Yeouinaru with Hwangmo and Donald gives him an envelope containing candidates for Jared's replacements. Wolf orders Hwangmo to bring them in one by one to the meeting room tomorrow. When they go to the parking lot, Wolf warns Jimmy about Jack glaring at him and then warns Jimmy himself. Jimmy provokes Wolf by reminding him of his defeat at the hands of Gray. Wolf warns him to not cross the line because he isn't a pushover like Jake. Jimmy says if they both keep their moths shy and not tell Donald, they can settle things in a fight. Wolf agrees to a fight and hands his glasses over to Hwangmo.

Jimmy claims that he is only joking around but throws the first punch. Wolf tells Jimmy to show him everything he's got. He thanks all of Jimmy's attacks. He grabs Jimmy's jacket to hold him in place as he punches him in the face. Jimmy notices Wolf isn't guarding his body and uses that opening to continuously land several hits. Jimmy thinks he's won, but Wolf is still standing and asks if Jimmy is done and begins repeatedly punching him in the face. When Jimmy punches Wolf back, Wolf asks why he is punching when it is his turn. He tells Jimmy to stay still until he's done. No matter how many times Jimmy hit Wolf, Wolf continues moving towards him and attacking. Jimmy thinks the only way to take down Wolf is by killing him.

Wolf knees Jimmy in the face and knocks him out for a few seconds. He asks him why he's just standing there and to come at him. Jimmy realizes that he will lose if he strikes Wolf again. He retreats by saying that it is enough for today and that he will finish off Wolf next time. Both Wolf and Jimmy learn a valuable lesson that day; order to win harsh and deadly wounds are inevitable.

### Mok-Ha Duo Introduction Arc

Wolf is waiting at Ganghak's rooftop for Hyeongshin to deliver the money and files, but gets upset when they don't show up in time. He sends Hayden to go search for them, but one of the guys sent to search earlier returns and shows a photo of the trio knocked out at Sinjeong Bridge and that the money and files had been stolen yet again. Wolf concludes that it's the work of someone who knows the Union can't go to the cops.

They go to Sinjeong Bridge and Wolf doesn't think it's Jared driven by wrath. He somehow punches Grape back into consciousness and demands to know who the thieves are. He asks if it is Eunjang, but Grape denies it. Wolf continues to beat him without letting him speak. Forrest wakes up and reveals Myles to be the culprit.

Later on that night, Wolf asks Hwangmo about what they should do regarding the Manwol situation. Hwangmo says they shouldn't get involved since it was Myles who attacked first, and Forrest will have to report the situation to Donald anyway. Wolf agrees and says Hyeongshin should clean on mess. He orders everyone to stay put and to wait and see what kind of show Donald comes up with.

Wolf attends the Union assembly with the rest of the Union members. He is unfazed when Donald reveals Scorpion to be a traitor and introduces the Mok-Ha Duo as the ones who defeated Myles and Manwol. After the assembly ends, Dongha tries to provoke Wolf into a fight, but Donald tells him to knock it off.

### Cheongang Arc

Hwangmo informs Wolf of the Mok-Ha Duo's defeat. He also mentions that Daegwang got struck by one of their competitors. He thinks Wolf isn't listening to him because Wolf is staring at a redhead on a motorcycle watching him from below. Wolf wonders who he is. Hwangmo, not knowing about Giju watching Wolf, is intimidated by the silence. He knows Wolf couldn't care less about the Mok-Ha Duo, but if Ganghak loses the business, they commission too. Wolf hates losing something of his, good or bad, more than death. Wolf wonders how well Jake kissed Donald's ass to be given what's already been distributed to others. He orders Hwangmo to tell Naksung tip him off when Jake is on the move.

Some days later, after visiting KHG to collect money from them, Wolf asks Hwangmo if they're done for the day. Hwangmo informs him that Naksung texted him that Jake is on the move. Wolf goes to find him and tells Hwangmo and Hayden to return to Ganghak and wrap things up, and to use some of the money to treat themselves. Wolf watches Jake enter Magyeong Construction. After Cheongang's Action Squad enters, Wolf also decides to enter the office. He locks the door, takes off his glasses, and is ready to join the fight.

One of the Action Squad members stares at Wolf for three seconds, and Wolf starts beating him up. Two more members attack Wolf while he’s punching the guy who broke his three second rule. He ignores the two and tanks their attacks as he only focuses on beating up the first guy. Wolf tells them to wait their turn as he is unbothered by their hits. Wolf finishes up his initial target and then turns to his next opponent. Wolf finishes the other two remaining Action Squad members. Mr. Jo is shocked by the outcome of the fight and becomes terrified when Wolf is about to beat him up too, but Jake stops him. They retrieve the files and Wolf uncharacteristically smiles without any bloodlust.

After leaving Magyeong, Jake asks Wolf if Donald ordered him to tail him. Wolf says he isn’t sticking around the Union to be Donald’s lapdog. Jake tries to give the documents to Wolf so he can take Daegwang back, but Wolf laughs and says Jake hasn’t figured Donald out. Wolf says since Cheongang is involved, the Union will have to go through one hell of a mess to get everything sorted out. While giving the files to Donald, Jake tells him that he thought it’d be too much to handle alone so he had Wolf go with him, but Donald knows that Wolf wouldn’t have gotten himself involved just because Jake told him to.

Sometime later, Donald receives a text from Dongha confirming the Cheongang executives' meeting. He tells Jimmy, Wolf, and Jake that it's time to head to Mapo. At the Octagon, the Union executives defeat all of Cheongang's guards at the entrance and on the first floor. Donald recalls Wolf not being a member during Manwol's downfall, and he says people like the Union may even risk their lives for their reputation. People become forgetful, so they Union must show them who they are so they don't get difficult. Donald leaves his executives to fight Cheongang's executives while he goes upstairs to confront the leader himself.

Giju breaks **Wolf**’s three second rule and they begin fighting. He kicks Wolf through the bathroom door and happy begins to fight him. The two exchange several punches, and Giju thinks he needs to change his plans because Wolf is tough. Giju slams his fist against the bathroom stall to startle Wolf and make him flinch. He jumps high into the air and kicks him in the face. He lands blow after blow on Wolf. Wolf attempts to grab Giju, but Giju dodges and kicks Wolf’s leg to cause him to stumble, followed by kicking him in the face.

Wolf tells Giju to stop dodging and to come here, but Giju says he knows Wolf’s fighting style as a resilient slugger who fights through the pain. He says getting close would be foolish. Giju dodges Wolf’s attacks and grabs him from behind. He begins delivering several punches to Wolf’s head and kicks him into a bathroom stall door. Wolf angrily says that Giju’s petty little tricks aren’t fun. He mimics Giju’s previous tactic of hitting the bathroom door stall to startle Giju and make him flinch, using the opportunity to grab Giju’s shirt and begins punching him in the face. Giju tries to get out of his hold, but Wolf’s grip is strong.

Wolf says it’s fun to hit each other until one of them dies, but Giju doesn’t agree. Giju punches Wolf directly in the face, but Wolf is unfazed. Wolf says that it’s his turn to attack and tells Giju to just take the punches. Giju says Wolf’s a pain in the ass. Giju thinks it feels like the more he hits **Wolf**, the stronger Wolf becomes. Wolf continues to land powerful blows. Giju recalls fighting Seongsan’s leader being a slugfest too, but thinks fighting Wolf is even more brutal. He thinks Wolf is abnormal.

Giju stops fighting and Wolf asks what he’s doing. Giju wants to stop and admits defeat. Wolf wants to keep going, but Giju points out how his nose is clogged with blood and how he can’t even breathe because his mouth is filled with blood. Wolf lets go of Giju and says he isn’t as fun as he thought he’d be. The moment Wolf turns his back on him, Giju jumps up and punches him. He knocks Wolf to the ground and punches him in the face. If Wolf is obsessed with fighting itself, Giju is obsessed with winning. But there is something Giju overlooked: his opponent is Wolf Keum.

Wolf knocks Giju off of him and gets back up. Giju punches Wolf, but Wolf grabs his wrist and punches him back. Giju shifts his aim to Wolf’s wrist to free himself. Giju headbutts Wolf and knocks him to the ground. He uses the chance to put Wolf into a chokehold, but Wolf is unbothered and continues hitting Giju. He stands back up and slams Giju against the bathroom stall door hard enough to dent it and forces Giju to let him go. He knees Giju in the face and as Giju nearly falls to the ground, he kicks Wolf in the chin.

After Jake defeats Juwon, Wolf and Giju's fight pauses. Jake also easily defeats Doyun and Giju is intimidated when he realizes he can't win against Jake. Wolf tells him that although it’s over for Cheongang, he‘s still willing to finish their fight without any help. After both Giju and Jake answer a call from their respective leaders, both groups of executives take the elevator upstairs. Wolf is the most unfazed by a knife stabbed into the desk and both leaders sporting large cuts across their foreheads. After it is a revealed that a deal has been made, the Union executives leave.

Some time later, Wolf locates Giju is Seongsan to finish their fight. As soon as Wolf sets his glasses down, Giju lunges at him and delivers several attacks that knocks Wolf down, but Wolf immediately gets back up. Giju calls him a zombie and wants him to stay down. He continues punching Wolf, but Wolf manages to grab his shirt. Wolf goes after Giju's face and Giju blocks and manages to knee Wolf in the guts, causing him to let go. Wolf remains standing and grabs Giju once more. Giju frees himself by tearing his shirt. He says they'll do things Wolf's way and take it to the very end. Both of them charge at each other. No matter how many times Giju hits Wolf, and even slamming his head against a metal shutter several times, Wolf always gets back up and continues fighting.

Wolf manages to grab Giju's leg after a kick and knocks him to the ground. Wolf doesn't want Giju to pull another fake defeat and continues beating him up. Giju realizes Wolf can fight all night long and thinks he's an animal. Once Giju loses consciousness, Wolf sits on his unconscious body while smoking his cigarettes, amused by the fact that Giju smokes menthols. He thinks there are too many assholes have pissed him off to count, remembering the Mok-Ha Duo and Gray. He checks his phone and sees all the missed calls from Donald and Hwangmo. He has had enough of his money games and is finally done with the Union. He remembers Jake, who always looks down on him, and Wolf intends on fighting him.

### Manhunt Arc

Hwangmo, Beomsu, and the third Ganghak guy have tried searching for Wolf in all the places he usually hangs out, but it was to no avail. They enter the student council room and see Wolf there. Wolf says to forget about the fact Donald’s been trying to contact him and to follow him for their last supper. They eat and drink a lot at the bar before splitting up the remaining money among their group. After Hayden snitches Wolf's betrayal to Donald, Hwangmo informs Wolf that he’s been excommunicated and that the Mok-Ha Duo are being sent after him. Wolf laughs because he isn’t coming after him himself.

A flashback of Phillip Kim's Convenience Store Massacre reveals that it had been Wolf who had defeated Jonathan Moon and his goons, not Phillip. Phillip had been confronted by Jonathan's gang right outside a convenience store, one of the goons blocked the exit and Wolf told him to get out of the way. Wolf was unfazed when the lackey grabbed Wolf by the front of his shirt and Wolf beats all of them up with ease after they break his three second rule. He tries to light a cigarette but his lighter doesn't work, so Phillip uses his own lighter to help him. A year later, when they coincidentally go to the Bar at the same time, Phillip pays for Ganghak's bill as repayment for Wolf's help. The flashback ends.

When Seongmok arrives to assist Dongha against Gray, Seongmok is knocked down by a punch from Wolf who says it's nice to see the Mok-Ha fucks again. Dongha charges at Wolf, who blocks his punch. Seongmok punches Wolf and Wolf is amused. Wolf wants to fight the duo alone and tells Hwangmo to get Gray out of there, so Hwangmo hurriedly carries Gray away. Dongha reminds Wolf that they were the ones who had fucked up Myles, but Wolf doesn’t believe that the Mok-Ha Duo fucked him up. A flashback shows that Wolf had fought Myles for no particular reason and it had just been something he needed to do at least once. The winner isn’t shown and the flashback ends. Wolf says Myles isn’t one to lose to the duo and asks if they drugged him or something.

Wolf hangs his glasses on a nearby nail and says he only trusts his own eyes. He reminds them that Donald told them to get him first. Seongmok punches Wolf in the guts and Dongha kicks him in the head. Seongmok restrains Wolf so Dongha can knee him in the face. Wolf breaks free and goes for the annoying one, Dongha, first. He beats up Dongha while ignoring Seongmok punching him. He tells Seongmok to wait his turn. Seongmok is caught off guard because he has never been in a fight like this. He uses his strongest punch, but Wolf remains standing. After Dongha loses consciousness, Wolf moves onto Seongmok who eventually loses consciousness too. Wolf tells them to get up and laughs at them.

Dongha regains consciousness and tells Wolf that the Union and Donald aren’t going to let him go, but Wolf just laughs at him. Gray arrives and walks past Wolf; Wolf notes how Gray doesn’t even see him and only sees Dongha, reminding Wolf of himself. Gray initially pauses beating up Dongha but Wolf tells him that he won't stop him. As Gray continues to brutally beat Dongha, Seongmok calls out in a scratchy voice to not hit his friend. Wolf stomps on Seongmok's head and tells him to not interfere because Gray isn't going to stop until Dongha’s dead.

When Alex intervenes to stop Gray from going further, he is taken off guard by seeing Wolf there, but he realizes that they aren't enemies. After Eunjang leaves, Wolf and Hwangmo see the aftermath of Ben’s rampage against Hyeongshin. Wolf wonders if Ben really did it all alone.

### Final Battle Arc

Phillip recruits Wolf to join the war against the Union. Wolf and Hwangmo are the last to arrive at the Rebellion's meeting. After Wolf states his intentions to fight Jake, he and Hwangmo leave. Alex is reluctant to trust Wolf but Gray reminds him that Eunjang is in need of as many allies as they can get because their enemy is the Union. Before D-Day arrives, the two are shown outside with Wolf sitting on a grassy slope and Hwangmo standing nearby rather than attending the Rebellion's meeting.

Wolf and Hwangmo arrive late to the battle and Wolf says he forgot to give Jake the Daegwang files. He sets the envelope ablaze in front of everyone and pisses Donald off. Wolf tells Jake that there is something they still need to confirm and Jake calls Wolf a wild bastard. After Donald slaps Kingsley, Wolf laughs at the infighting. Gerard thanks Wolf for coming, but Wolf tells him to shut up because he only came for personal means. After the battle begins, they exchange a few blows. Jake asks Wolf if he's warmed up now and Wolf tells him to stop fucking around and to fight for real. Jake warns him that he might kill him, but Wolf charges at Jake and punches him in the torso while telling him to go ahead and kill him.

Jake blocks Wolf’s punch and warns Wolf that he’s gonna get fucked. Wolf sets his glasses down and tells Jake he’s done being someone’s dog. He says he’s quitting the Union and wants to fight Jake before he goes. Jake tells him compared to fighting with Eunjang, he’s more comfortable fighting him. Jake punches Wolf’s chin followed by a punch to the face. Wolf grabs Jake’s jacket, but Jake grabs onto Wolf’s jacket and arm to swing himself up and knee Wolf in the face. He lands on his feet and quickly kicks Wolf, but Wolf catches his foot. Jake elbows Wolf, but Wolf catches that too. Jake punches Wolf in the stomach and Wolf grabs Jake’s wrist and delivers his own punch to Jake’s face. Jake manages to pull his wrist free and jumps back. He dodges Wolf’s next swing but Wolf steps on Jake’s foot to prevent him from moving back again; Wolf manages to land a powerful punch to Jake’s face.

Jake says he looks down on Wolf because he considers Wolf to be below him. He delivers a powerful kick to Wolf’s torso, causing him to spit out some blood. Wolf is quick to recover and grabs Jake by his jacket and punches him multiple times in the face. Just like when he had grabbed Seongmok, Wolf takes Jake below the mire and into the deep abyss that he loves. But Jake doesn’t try to escape the abyss. In fact, he too becomes a crocodile and begins to roll. Jake grabs Wolf’s jacket and they both exchange blows to the face.

Wolf tackles Jake and continues to punch him, but Jake blocks the blows and manages to elbow Wolf in the face and knock him off of him. Jake strikes Wolf with what he thinks is the final blow. Wolf immediately gets back up. Jake is shocked that Wolf got back up like it is nothing, despite getting clobbered over and over again. Jake thinks if he really wants to beat Wolf, he might have to kill him. Wolf is noticeably no longer smiling and his right eye is swollen and not as fully open.

Jake dodges all of Wolf’s swings. Jake uppercuts Wolf and ducks when Wolf tries to immediately punch him. Jake kicks Wolf in the stomach and sends him to the ground. Jake thinks fighting Wolf gives a vicarious thrill just like fighting Ben. Wolf kicks Jake in the side and grabs his jacket yet again. He goes for the face but Jake catches Wolf’s wrist. Jake tells Wolf that he’s near his limit and Wolf’s fighting style gets old fast. Jake punches Wolf in the face. Wolf grabs Jake’s head and attempts to knee him, but Jake kicks his knee to change the trajectory. Jake fakes a kick with his right foot and turns it into a flying punch. He wants his opponent to block or dodge, but Wolf punches Jake in the face while getting hit because blocking and dodging isn’t Wolf’s style so feints are meaningless

Jake thinks he needs to do something Wolf won’t see coming. He dodges and blocks Wolf’s punches. Wolf pulls his arm back for another punch and all he can see is Jake’s face. Jake strikes him in his blind spot while dodging Wolf’s punch. Before Wolf can punch again, Jake grabs his wrist and kicks him in the face. Wolf, one of the best fighters on the Rebellion’s side, goes down in flames at the hands of Jake Ji. Not long later, Wolf gets back up and wonders how long he was out for and that he ruined his image. Before Wolf can continue fighting, Ben and Gray arrive.

Wolf watches Ben fight against Donald. After Ben is defeated, Gray steps up to challenge Donald next and punches Hayden in the throat and face. Wolf recalls Gray not being particularly physically strong. As Wolf watches Gray put up a good fight against Donald, he recalls that when he first met Donald, it didn’t even cross his mind to ever fight him, yet Gray is trying to beat that beast. After the final battle ends in the Rebellion's defeat, Donald allows them to simply just leave. Jimmy is upset because he wanted at least Wolf to be forced kneel.

### Aftermath

At Donald's funeral, Wolf and Hwangmo are wearing suits and watching the funeral hall from afar. Hwangmo asks if they’re really not going to go in, but Wolf says it’s fine to just look from a distance.

Sometime after the funeral, Hwangmo had informed him that Jake had decided to leave the Union and Kingsley calls Wolf to the park. Wolf recalls the park being the location where he attended his first ever Union meeting. Jimmy arrives and asks why Wolf is there since he joined the loser Rebellion. Wolf calls Jimmy a fly and asks if he wants to be knocked out again. Jimmy, being delusional, accepts the fight. Before they can actually fight, Kingsley throws two bags in between them and tells them to stop and open the bags. They find money and files inside the bags. Kingsley tells them to reorganize the kids and draw up a plan, saying that it was Donald’s final order before the Han River Battle.

Jimmy asks if Wolf really is a part of it and Wolf tells him to shut up and collect the scraps. The two begin arguing but Kingsley once again stops them, and he says while Donald isn’t there, his rules still stand. As he leaves, he says to stay put for now and to come to Yeouinaru when called. Wolf takes his bag and leaves.

In the final episode, it's revealed that Wolf has demoted Hayden to being a bread shuttle.

## Relationships

### Donald Na

In contrast to his behavior around others, Wolf usually acts subservient to Donald Na. Donald himself goes as far as describing him as a "lapdog", and notes that Wolf is among "one of the pricks [he] favored". Wolf has gotten into hot water with Donald Na in recent chapters due to his loss to Eunjang. After Donald Na overhears Wolf's intentions to "take a break" from the Union, he beats up Wolf. Wolf is seems to have learned his place afterwards. He has not been shown to defy Donald since his defeat.

### Jared Sun

Jared used to be on good terms with Wolf, with Wolf relying on Jared to establish relationships with the school administration and upper-years. Their relationship sours after the fight between Wolf Keum and Gray Yeon. In considering Jared's suspicious behavior, Wolf realizes he was deceived by Jared, and Jared had taken the commission money and put the blame on the Eunjang students' Eugene Gale and Rowan Im. Given this set of events led to Wolf challenging the White Mamba, his indirect loss to Eunjang, and his complications related to the missing money, Wolf was understandably enraged. As such, Wolf beats up Jared after confronting him about the situation. Wolf and his subordinates also leave Jared to fend for himself against the other Ganghak students who turn against him after his other deceptions are uncovered.

### Jimmy Bae

Jimmy and Wolf have a bit of a love-hate relationship. They fought alongside each other in the past by Donald Na. Since Wolf's loss to the White Mamba from Eunjang, Jimmy has teased Wolf that he had lost to a rookie and a nobody. Wolf eventually turns on Jimmy, and the two engage in a fight. Shortly before the fight ended, Wolf outmaneuvered Jimmy multiple times, eventually throwing Jimmy to the ground, making him unconscious. Jimmy's respect for Wolf has relighted again after the fight, and Wolf tends to his own business.

### Jake Ji

The two don't interact with each other, but it is obvious through their dialogue that they are not close at all. Wolf often describes Jake as a weak pushover who wouldn't fight like the rest of the members did. Jake is relatively nonchalant with the Union members, and doesn't care what the others thought of him.

Wolf has been curious about Jake's movements after Donald decided to hand over Daegwang company from Wolf to Jake. Wolf ordered Hwangmo to tell Naksung to tip off Wolf about Jake's movements. Jake was ordered by Donald to go to Mapo to retrieve the files that was taken by Magyeong's CEO, Yongbae Jo. Wolf followed Jake to Mapo and didn't take interest initially. After Yongbae Jo called Jaeryeong Lee and the action team of Cheongang to beat up Jake, Wolf arrived to assist Jake defeat the action team and retrieve the files, in which they were successful. Afterwards, Jake suggested to Wolf that he can take Daegwang back by telling Donald that he is the one who retrieved the files, but Wolf declined.

### Forrest Lee

Before joining the Union, Wolf defeated Forrest in a fight incited by his "three-second rule". Wolf, therefore (among other reasons), does not see Forrest worthy of his position as the head of Hyeongshin High. He generally views Forrest as a pushover who lacks authority. Forrest in turn tries to avoid meetings with Wolf and tries to keep his head down during their encounters. Wolf has taken over Hyeongshin High's commissions in place of Forrest after Hyeongshin loses to Eunjang.

### Grape

Grape attended the same middle school as Wolf. Grape is shown to be a fairly good fighter and holds a high position in the Hyeongshin High hierarchy. Despite this, Grape has a great fear of Wolf because he used to bully and beat Grape. Wolf comments several times how much he "enjoys" seeing Grape again in high school, as it provides him an opportunity to once again harass him. After learning about Wolf's loss to Gray, he is astounded, having only imagined taking revenge and defeating Wolf.

### Giju Seol

Wolf didn't know about Giju before they fought in the Octagon. However, he saw him once outside of Ganghak. Giju took an interest in Wolf due to his reputation that even reached Mapo. Wolf is Giju's opponent during the fight in the Octagon. The two had a ferocious fight that resulted in a deadlock.

### Dongha Baek

Wolf sees Dongha as nothing but an annoying psycho as he doesn’t fall for his taunts for a fight. He gets his chance to fight him after he left the Union and Donald had the Mokha Duo hunt him down. While Gray was beating on Dongha and Seongmok tries to intervene, Wolf unexpectedly shows up and punches him down. Wolf then proceeds to fight Dongha and Seongmok, but unlike others who try to prioritize taking out Seongmok since he seemed the bigger threat, Wolf went after beating up Dongha because “he was more annoying”. Wolf systematically beats the hell out of Dongha, then allows Gray to finish the job, not caring if Gray beats Dongha to death.

## Abilities

### Mental

Compared to the other guys in the Union, Wolf is much more impulsive. He often makes gut reactions to strong emotions before thinking, as shown by his reaction to the Union money and paperwork being stolen by Eunjang students. However, Wolf is capable of being analytical and accurately interpreting a situation. For example, after his fight with Gray, he picks up on various inconsistencies in Jared's information and actions, leading him to the accurate conclusion of Jared's deception. Notably, he does not go against Donald Na, presumably because he recognizes the difference in their abilities, and the beneficial nature of maintaining a good relationship with him.

### Physical

Wolf is very physically strong, capable of defeating individuals who appear larger than him, as shown in his win against Forrest Lee in a flashback. In addition, he was able to take-over his high school despite being a freshman, presumably via fighting. In discussions of Shuttle Patch rankings, it is revealed that many consider him to possibly be on par with Jake Ji, who is 2nd in rankings.

He is remarkably tough, being capable of withstanding a lot of physical damage. In his fight at the club, he doesn't even flinch after being punched in the face. Despite being knocked out with a planter and punched multiple times in the face by Gray, he is able to recover quickly afterward, refusing any help from his subordinates. In a later fight with Jimmy Bae, Wolf is shown to be capable of fighting through a substantial amount of pain and wavering consciousness. He fought a battle of endurance against Giju Seol, and managed to endure all of Giju's hits. He also broke out of a choke hold by Giju by slamming him into the wall.

He was able to go head-to-head against Jake Ji and lasted quite a while while tanking every single of Jake's hits. Even after he lost, Wolf was able to regain conscious and get back up not long after.

## Trivia

* He is frequently being shown wearing "Kanzo" brand clothing (a play on the "Kenzo" clothing brand) with tiger motifs.
* In Korean culture, it is generally considered rude to make eye contact with a superior. As such, Wolf's "three-second rule" is a display of dominance.
* His social media username is KSJ, which are his initials for his Korean name, **K**eum **S**eong**j**e.
