However, compared to his predecessor, he is more introverted and stoic, and lacks the same hotblooded extravagance and arrogance. On the other hand, the two are equally ruthless and skilled in combat. He never hesitates to put down an opponent that would pose a threat to him or the things he cares about, such as his newly acquired friends or the Geomijul. His stoic demeanor gradually disappears as he spends more and more time with Ichiban Kasuga and the group, showing a more lighthearted side that is not above having fun and cracking jokes with his new friends. He is also capable of showing a great deal of care and compassion as seen when he revealed the real reason he keeps using his dead leader's name: To draw out former Jingweon members so that he could give them shelter in the Geomijul, despite their initial hatred towards him for failing his role as a body double. Han always speaks fondly of his predecessor, so much so that he prefers to be called Joongi Han to honor his late leader's legacy while carving out a new one on his own. He is also shown to be guilt-ridden over the fact how he completely failed his job as his predecessor's body double. Due to this, he developed identity issues and feelings of inadequacy when comparing himself to "the real Joongi Han." Backstory: Yeonsu Kim was born in Japan, where his father was forced to remain as a stray member of the Jingweon Mafia after failing to avenge fellow members who had fallen in their feud with the Tojo Clan. His family was ostracized by both their Japanese and Korean peers and, as such, felt like they did not belong anywhere. He was subjected to physical abuse by his father, who is described as a lowly thug and an alcoholic, and was used by his father as a bargaining chip in order to get closer to his predecessor. This culminated in him being drugged and forced to undergo plastic surgery in order to to act as a body double for his predecessor. He was then taken under his predecessor's wing, took on the name "Joongi Han", and the two ended up becoming closer. Despite their superior-subordinate relationship, he felt at home around him due to their similar backgrounds. He came to idolize him and considered him almost like a brother. Han used to operate Club Stardust in place of his predecessor occasionally. After his predecessor's death, Han fled Kamurocho along with the few remaining members of Jingweon. He later realized he had no place to go or return to. He tried to find refuge in the other Korean communities but they saw him as a criminal and did not accept him. Along with this, he was persecuted by the Jingweon Mafia for being alive while "the real Joongi Han" was dead. When Han asked why they had abandoned another one of their own, they reported him to the police. However, the police officers who came to arrest him turned out to be Geomijul members sent out by Seonhee, and instead of being incarcerated, he was taken to Yokohama. He joined the Geomijul soon after this. He learned how his predecessor died soon after, and that his assassin was already dead, leaving him in a despairing and broken state. While recovering, he realized how Seonhee was like his predecessor, in the sense that he felt at home around her and she was like the sister he'd never had. He swore later to her and ended up becoming her right hand as well as the second-in-command of the Geomijul. Respect: Joongi greatly respects Kiryu Kazuma and out of respect for the other man, Kiryu does't point out that he's highly aware the original Joon-Gi Han that Joongi was the "body double "of as Kiryu watched the original one get assassinated in Onomichi. Speech Patterns: Joongi often speaks in a polite manner and sometimes even refers to his friends by their last name with the "-san" honorific attached to the end of it.

In turn, a shadow will be born from me some day... a shadow with the same commitment. So you see, Joon-Gi Han is more an immortal entity than he is a man." *Joongi explains as he describes his life being the body double for the second Joon-Gi Han who once ran the Jingweon Mafia before his death.* END_OF_DIALOG
