“The chapter opens with citizens abuzz, discussing the shocking news of Charles Choi’s death.
The story dominated headlines and airwaves, even gracing public television screens. We then see Big Daniel roaming around the city.
Diego Kang, who worked under Charles Choi, was also caught up in rumors. Everyone is then seen discussing the fight with Gun Park. So, he can’t show his face anywhere anymore.

Gun Park Does Not Own Charles Choi’s Assets
On the other hand, Steve Hong went to Gangmi Choi the prosecutor for lunch to discuss Charles Choi. Gangmi says I didn’t want to eat with the CEO of a conglomerate.
It was revealed that Charles Choi’s assets were not transferred to Gun Park. Steve Hong inquired about the inheritance of Charles Choi’s two daughters.
Gangmi Choi explained that the daughters had only inherited formal assets, not the core holdings. Satisfied with this information, Steve Hong departed.
Steve Hong is actually confused, he asks himself what did Charles Choi die for if his wealth didn’t go to anyone.
Johan’s Mom Recovered
The focus then shifts to Johan and his mother, who, having recovered, is being discharged from the hospital.
In a twisted turn of events, Johan’s desire for revenge is inadvertently satisfied with Gun Park’s arrest. Later, Johan is seen with his friends Mira and Zack, expressing his gratitude to Zack Lee.
Zack says, That’s what friends are for, right? Mira is happy to see them both.
Mira asks what are you going to do now Johan, he replies that he is now going to give studies a shot and the fighting part of his life is over.
We then see Big Daniel with his friends, the fight is finally over.
It is so peaceful, may this happiness last forever.
Goo Kim Survived
Samuel successfully rescued Goo Kim. Goo Kim, though alive, is consumed by rage.
Samuel sarcastically asks It seems you’re very angry. Goo Kim is angry at Gun Park since he is denying the visits and he says he is acting cool. Gun Park took the blame for Goo Kim’s crime too.
Kitae Kim Arrives
The scene finally introduces the infamous Kitae Kim. A flight attendant informs him of their arrival and reminds him to refrain from smoking.
Kitae cautions the attendant to handle his coat with care, remarking, ‘To some, it’s worth a life.’
The chapter concludes with a tense encounter as Goo Kim meets Kitae Kim at the airport. Goo Kim says, Nice to meet you, I am Goo Kim.
Final Words
Things just got a lot more interesting in the Lookism series, even though Charles Choi is dead and Gun Park is out of service, the king is back in Korea.
Kitae Kim left Korea and became the leader of a Mexican gang. However, after the recent events, he is back.
I was really hoping to see Charles’s Second Body, but it seems like he didn’t possess a second body.
Bringing Kitae Kim back is the best move they did, we really needed the spotlight on someone else other than Gun Park.
However, now that Charles Choi is out of the scene, there is nobody who is going to bail Gun Park out. He also admitted to severe crimes so he is not coming out anytime soon. But it would be fun to see Gun Park vs Kitae Kim in Lookism.
We will find out more in the upcoming chapter Lookism 518.
