Kitae, who hates romance, ends up in a fight with Sinu Han, but Sinu’s attacks have no effect on him. When Jake arrives, Kitae rushes to hug him. Jake is confused, not knowing who Kitae really is, until he sees the lighter their mother had.
Jake realizes that Kitae is his half-brother, the one his mother had mentioned. Kitae demands answers about their father, and Jake calls him trash. Satisfied with his answer, Kitae tells Jake that their father’s gloves are in good hands.
Meanwhile, Sinu admits he didn’t hold back against Kitae, but it still didn’t affect him. We also see the Hostel Gang’s fruit business doing well.
Eli Jang finds out about Justin’s arrest, and Daniel Park visits Gun Park in jail. Gun initially refuses to see Daniel but eventually agrees out of curiosity.
Daniel explains that he didn’t reveal Gun’s location because both Eugene and Charles Choi are bad people, and he doesn’t side with anyone. He also didn’t want Gun to get hurt.
Gun tells Daniel that he chose to stay loyal to Charles Choi, even in death, and warns Daniel never to visit again. As Gun is about to leave, Daniel asks why Gun sided with Charles and why he’s called Shiro Oni.

Review
Lookism chapter 520 starts off strong, revealing that Shingen Yamazaki, a tough leader of the Yamazaki Clan, is Gun Park’s father.
The chapter also highlights Gun’s struggle with his role. Even though he was a quick learner and strong from a young age, he was pushed to be ruthless. He was forced to be the strongest, all he wanted was love but he was taught that, to be loved he has to fight.
Overall, this chapter adds a lot to Gun’s character and backstory. It’s clear he’s torn between being the ruthless fighter everyone expects and the person he really wants to be. The chapter was a fun read!!
