So here’s my custom Aemond all assembled and fully hand painted by me! This project took longer than I expected but I’m pretty happy with the results! I’ll make another post with details and closeups. Feel free to ask me any questions 😇💚💚
CARD DESCRIPTION: Leader of the Korean Jingweon Mafia, which in the past has been decimated by Kazuma Kiryu. In Kamurocho he’s started working in the Red Light district and providing stimulation to female customers. He is targeting Kiryu due to the grudge that the Jingweon Mafia holds against him.
One day in 2016
Taking advantage of the fire in Little Asia, shortly after the Saio Triad invaded Kamurocho…
The Jingweon Mafia led by Joon-gi Han enters Kamurocho to revive their organization.
Jingweon subordinate: “Boss, we’re ready to take over host club Perseus.”
Han: “Keep up the good work.”
Han: (...The plan is going well. We will definitely seize this opportunity and revive the Jingweon Mafia...)
Jingweon subordinate: “Yes sir… by the way, what will happen to Kazuma Kiryu?”
Han: “Kazuma… Kiryu….?”
Jingweon subordinate: “Yes. There are quite a few people who hold a grudge against him since he crushed the organization, and now want to kill him.”
Jingweon subordinate: “In order to revive the Jingweon, I believe we need to kill him and unify the will of our organization.”
Han: “…You think I haven’t thought of that?”
Jingweon subordinate: “N-No…”
Han: “Certainly those tied to Kazuma Kiryu are the problem. They are nothing more than shackles for the reborn Jingweon Mafia.”
Han: “Ideally, I should be able to defeat Kazuma Kiryu with my own hands as soon as possible…”
Han: “Not only is he in prison, he will live in Okinawa after his release. No time to go out and kill someone like that.”
Han: “Our priority right now is to control the sex industry here.”
Han: “I will decide when and what to do with Kazuma Kiryu. Proceed with taking over the club.”
Jingweon subordinate: “…Yes sir.”
(He walks away)
Han: “…Kazuma Kiryu, huh…”
Akiyama: “Hana-chan! Over here!!”
Hana: “Coming!!”
Saio Triad Members: “Chase them!!”
Han: (That guy is definitely one of Kazuma Kiryu's friends. Is he Shun Akiyama?)
Han: (The people chasing them were probably from the Saio Triad. Are they trying to kill them…?)
Han: (..Kazuma Kiryu won’t remain silent once he knows his friends have been killed.)
Han: (This might be our chance to bring Kiryu back to Kamurocho.)
(Screen cuts to underground sewers)
Hana: “Haa… haa…”
Akiyama: “I think we managed to pull away from them —Let's get out of here and out of town before they catch up to us!”
???: “I’m sorry, but it’s a dead end.”
Akiyama: “…!”
(Footsteps approach them)
Han: “...I have nothing against you, but the Saio Triad will eventually catch up to you.”
Akiyama: “...and here comes our incredibly stylish pursuer.”
Akiyama: “Are you also from the Saio Triad? The atmosphere around you feels different.”
Han: “Pfft, does it matter who I am?”
Han: “…At least, it’s a person who wishes death upon Shun Akiyama.”
Akiyama: “It doesn’t seem like you attacked us out of nowhere. You don’t want to tell me what’s up.”
Han: “Hehe, you understand quickly.”
Akiyama: “Anyway, the only way to escape is to defeat you... I don't have a choice.”
Akiyama: “…but can you let the girl go first? She’s just being chased by my collateral damage.”
Han: “…That woman?”
ana: “What are you talking about, Akiyama-san!! I won’t run away alone!”
Akiyama: “Please, Hana-chan. I will probably join you later.”
Hana: “No!! I’ll fight too! I’ll fight for you—“
Akiyama: “Sorry, but you’re not exactly a beneficial fighting partner.”
Hana: “But…”
Akiyama: “I’m begging you, Hana-chan.”
Hana: “…Alright.”
Han: “Fufu, beautiful. The thought of caring for others...”
Han: “Your wish to save that woman… what a wonderful thing…”
Akiyama: “…Yes. Can I let her go then?”
Akiyama: “Even the Saio Triad doesn’t like unnecessary killing. Letting her go shouldn’t be a problem.”
Han: “Sure… but the answer is NO.”
Akiyama: “....Don't say that. If you let her go, I'll take it easy... maybe.
Han: “Fufu, no matter what you say, I won’t negotiate.”
Han: “The tragedy of an unrelated co-worker of yours is a nice spice to achieving my goals.”
Akiyama: “Spice? You want to stimulate someone?”
Han: “Fufufu, what do you think? What’s certain is that I’m not willing to negotiate.”
Akiyama: “To let Hana-chan escape, I’ll have to defeat you anyway.”
Han: “That’s what I’m trying to say… It’ll never happen.”
Akiyama: “...Maybe. Now, before I go any further, let me confess my feelings.”
Han: “…Your feelings?”
Akiyama: “Yes. There’s something I haven’t said yet to someone close to me.”*
Hana: “What you haven’t said!?… Hey wait, are you—!”
Akiyama: “Hana-chan, come closer…”
Hana: “W-Wait a minute!! I’m—“
(Akiyama goes closer to Hana)
Akiyama: “Hana-chan… It’s…”
Hana: “…!”
Akiyama: “…Run. I’ll beat him up and make sure you get away.”
Hana: “…Fine…”
Han: “Fufu, how’d you tell her your feelings?”
Akiyama: “C’mon… If you let her go, I’ll tell you.”
Han: “Fufu… you’re interesting…”
Han: “I can't wait to see how much pain it will take for her to start begging to let you go!”
(They fight)
Akiyama: “Haaa… Haa…”
Han: “I’m about to reach my limit…”
Han: “How's that? I think it's time you gave her up. I'm sure you'd like her to get out of here.”
Akiyama: “Hehe… This is… only the beginning…”
Han: “Hah! You’re stubborn…”
(Akiyama pushes him against the wall)
Han: “…! What the hell…”
Akiyama: “Huff… I’m still here…. because you haven’t given me the chance to prove myself yet.”
Han: “I could win by grabbing your arm and restraining you...”
Akiyama: “Guh… not yet… Hana-chan!!”
Hana: “O-On it!”
(Hana runs away)
Han: “…That’s it? This was to let the woman escape?”
Akiyama: “It was a good opportunity…”
Han: “…Incredible. You pretended to be in a tight spot to let my guard down and create an opening to let that woman go...”
Han: “You were leaning against the wall… to create an escape route.”
Akiyama: “Heh… That’s what I wanted to say. I’m also… extremely exhausted…”
Akiyama: “But you wouldn't have been deceived if I hadn't shown you that seriousness, right?”
Han: “Fufu, maybe.”
Han: “Then…. Haa!”
(Han punches Akiyama)
Han: “Shall we continue?”
Akiyama: “…Yeah.”
Saio Triad: “Over here!”
Akiyama: “…!”
Akiyama: (It can’t be...... is this voice ...... the guys from earlier? If this keeps up, it's going to be a pincer attack.)
Akiyama: (On the flip side, you can't beat this guy right off the bat. He's not a sweet enough opponent to slip through and escape…)
Akiyama: “Huh… it’s time…”
Han: “…Sorry for the disturbance. Now then…”
(Han walks towards the wall)
Akiyama: “…!”
Akiyama: “What are you doing?”
Han: “…Can’t you see? I’m trying to get you out of here.”
Han: “Out of respect for you, the graceful and strong… who put saving that woman before your own safety.”
Akiyama: “Heh… I’d be happy if that were true.”
Akiyama: “You're here for a reason, aren't you? You don't seem like the type to give up so easily.”
Han: “Rest assured, I’m bound to you, so I won’t let you go.”
Akiyama: “…Then what's your reason?”
Han: “I fight the strong, I am a man of sportsmanship.”
Akiyama: “Sportsmanship?”
Han: “Yes. In this battle, I was in an overwhelmingly better position to wait for the time to run out.”
Han: “…And you were fighting protecting that woman.”
Han: “Even at a patronizing level, it was not a fair fight.”
Han: “Well, I don’t care if it’s a boring opponent, but…”
Han: “But you’re an undeniably strong man, who had the beauty and grace of protecting that woman with your strength.”
Han: “Such an absurd and unbeautiful victory is the equivalent to defeat for me...”
Han: “So I’m letting you go for your own good. Do you understand?”
Akiyama: “…So you’re not looking for a win that doesn’t fit your aesthetics?”
Han: “…Yes, however…”
Akiyama: “I don't have time for this... I have no choice but to believe it. I hope you're not lying…”
Han: “I’ll also leave this place soon as possible.”
Han: “Well then... if we have the chance to meet again, I’ll be happy to settle this matter.”
Akiyama: “Phew, sorry. I pray that we never meet again.”
(Akiyama runs away)
Han: (Hehe… missed a chance to bring back Kazuma Kiryu, but maybe that's not so bad…)
Han: (…Because in addition to fighting with Kazuma Kiryu, I have one more thing to look forward to in this city...)
Han: (I’m looking forward to a bloody and fair rematch, Akiyama-san.)

NOTES: THIS WAS VERY FUN TO TRANSLATE this story is absolutely ridiculous, but also very difficult to translate (akihana pain)
CARD DESCRIPTION: A messenger sent by the Jingweon Mafia. He went to Japan on a mission to take Ryuji Goda to the Korean Headquarters. At first, Han was as calm and cold as ice, but during the process of traveling with Ryuji, he awakened something else inside.
Prior to Joon-gi Han’s visit to Japan, Ryuji Goda was invited to join the Jingweon Mafia.
At that time, Han was not yet called Joon-gi Han. He was called "Mumyeong” (lit. Nameless).
Mumyeong: “Sorry to trouble you.”
Jingweon Leader: “Mumyeong… what’s your earliest memory?”
Mumyeong: “…Stealing carrots out of hunger, and being beat up by adults after.”
Jingweon Leader: “It was around that time I picked you up out of the gutter. Who picked you up out of the gutter and kept you alive?”
Mumyeong: “The general commander of the Jingweon Mafia.”
Jingweon Leader: “Then ask. What is your life for?”
Mumyeong: “For the prosperity of our organization.”
Jingweon Leader: “No one embodies the iron rules of our organization like you, Mumyeong.”
Jingweon Leader: “A strong body, mental strength, and beauty, all at the highest level, after overcoming training that could have killed them.”
Jingweon Leader: “I am glad you grew up here. You truly deserve the name Joon-gi Han.”
Mumyeong: “Thank you for your kind words. I promise to live up to the name.”
Jingweon Leader: “Actually, besides you, another Joon-gi Han candidate has appeared.”
Mumyeong: “…A new Joon-gi candidate?”
Jingweon Leader: “Yes. He hasn't had plastic surgery yet, but he's as talented as you are.”
Jingweon Leader: “I think he should be stronger and maybe actually look like Joon-gi Han.”
Jingweon Leader: “You have to kill him and prove yourself more worthy of the name.”
Mumyeong: “It's about killing that man and winning… got it.”
Jingweon Leader: “…Come in.”
(A door opens)
Candidate: “……”
Mumyeong: (.....Body as well-honed and polished as a diamond. Sharp eyes that must have almost seen death…)
Mumyeong: (There seems to be no flaws of my opponent…..)
Jingweon Leader: “Now, put these capsules into your mouths.”
Mumyeong: “That’s…”
Candidate: “Is this a self-determination capsule?”
Jingweon Leader: “Yes. When a strong force is applied, the capsule breaks and a deadly poison flows out from inside.”
Jingweon Leader: “You guys are going to have to fight with your bare hands with that capsule in your mouth.”
Jingweon Leader: “You’re not allowed to spit out the capsule. Fight until one of you dies.”
Candidate: “Even if you grit your teeth, even if you get punched in the face… the capsule will break and you die instantly.”
Jingweon Leader: “How Joon-gi Han fights while protecting his beautiful face is also a necessary ability. Are you dissatisfied?”
Candidate: “No, thank you for giving me the chance. I will definitely be the next Joon-gi Han.”
Jingweon Leader: “…Then put the capsule in your mouth.”
Candidate: “I will be the next Joon-gi Han. I'll let you die.”
Mumyeong: “…That’s not for us to decide.”
Candidate: “You and I, only one of us is strong enough to be Joon-gi Han.”
Candidate: “I will become Joon-gi Han!!”
Jingweon Leader: “Let’s start.”
Candidate: “Haaaaaaaa!!!!”
Mumyeong: “Oaaaaaaaaa!!”
(They fight)
Mumyeong: “Haa… haa…”
Candidate: “Huff……”
Mumyeong: “….Urraaaaahh!!”
Candidate: “Haaaaaa!!!!”
Candidate: “Guahhh….”
Mumyeong: “Guh….”
Mumyeong: (The capsule…. the poison…. it’s in my body…..)
(They both collapse)
Jingweon Leader: (Desperate cross counter... As you can imagine, they were evenly matched. It seems that the battle is decided...)
Candidate: “Haaa… haaa… I… win….”
Jingweon Leader: “…Well done. The title of Joon-gi Han….”
Candidate: “Haaa… thank you.”
Jingweon Leader: “….is not yours.”
Candidate: “….huh?
(Gunshot)
Mumyeong: “Uhh….”
Jingweon Leader: “….Are you awake?”
Mumyeong: “Why…. Why am I alive…? Didn’t I break the capsule….?”
Jingweon Leader: “The capsule in your mouth didn’t contain lethal poison, it was just a simple sleeping pill.”
Mumyeong: “Sleeping pill…. Then why did you say it was poison?”
Jingweon Leader: “Originally, it was not hard to imagine that the two sides would be evenly matched.”
Jingweon Leader: “To test your loyalty to the organization, I tricked you into thinking the capsule had poison in it.”
Mumyeong: “To test my loyalty…”
Jingweon Leader: “Even though you knew you were going to die, you held the capsule in your mouth and fought until the very end.”
Jingweon Leader: “But your opponent was afraid, and spit out the capsule just before the fight was decided.”
Jingweon Leader: “Those who have the loyalty to follow the Jingweon even if they lose their own lives, are only then suitable for the name of Joon-gi Han.”
Mumyeong: “Was that the case…”
Jingweon Leader: “….Well done. From now on, you are Joon-gi Han.”
Jingweon Leader: “Starting today, you will be Joon-gi Han working for the Jingweon Mafia.”
Han: “Yes sir.”
Han: “As Joon-gi Han’s shadow, I will dedicate everything to the Jingweon Mafia’s prosperity.”
Thus, the man became Joon-gi Han.
A little while later, he took on a mission to bring Ryuji Goda to the Korean Headquarters, but that’s a story for the future…
