second part of Wolf idiot gang slice-of-life comedy: Baek Sang’s sense of fashion, Busan underground businesses, more wolves for the Wolf bro…
(and I checked names)
first part
who is who:
- Jinrang, feared gang leader from The Generation of Circles, is that Asian son you mom won’t shut up about. The ultimate ‘son of mom’s friend’ energy
- The boy—yes, the boy—is loved by everyone in Busan. Aunties are always happy to see him, pinching his cheeks and stuffing him homemade kimchi. Fishermen hand him the best fish steaks
- Jinrang strolls through a crowded market—gang is fed for the next week. Everything is homemade
- Busan’s communal adopted son
- On rare Seoul trips to visit Gapryong (Jinrang’s loyalty to Busan’s is greater than Hudson’s Ansan simping) rolls in silent and polite, arms loaded with goodies. Gapryong’s family, lovers, random pals—everyone get a treat.
- Seoul loves him too
- Universal Jinrang appreciation society
- Started smoking because Gapryong did it, all blame on him. Gapryong then got scolded by his wife, while Jinrang stood there, apologetically nodding.
- Somehow even Gapryong’s wife likes him, despite him being a gang leader. Is it his charm or Busan treats—unknown
- Side-eyes Gapryon’s “a true man loves all his lades” but keeps quiet out of respect
- Gapryong once told him, “Your fists are hollow.” Jinrang, deadpan: “I fight with elbows. They hollow too?” Gapryong’s still convinced he’s a moron.

- Big brother to the gang—to all of the gang, even the ones older than him
- They run to him with problems, whinning, while he’s fishing, back turned. May add a word or two
- Somehow, everything magically solves after this
- Fight Jinrang one-on many and he doesn’t care. But try to fight anyone in his gang two-on-one and you are dead meat
- He’s strong supporter of fair, one-on-one fights. The only thing he took from Fight club was the actual fight club
- All of his closest gang members are fighters from the Arena that he defeated. Jinrang is that one guy who first beats you up and then befriends with you
- Jinrang’s way of making friends is pretty simple
---
- Jinrang thinks Baek Sang switches his brain off in fights. Plot twist: Baek only turns it on around Hyung-nim
- Baek Sang is a HEAVY simp for Jinrang.
- Those fancy higher-up rings was Baek’s idea
- He makes all of rings himself (he learned to make rings just for this)
- Baek’s teeth were supposed to be… wolf fangs
- He wanted to look more “wolf-like” but ended up being “shark”
- Gang legend says Jingrang knocked them out—nobody dares to ask
- Reality is boring: Baek went to a dentist for grillz, but this drama queen overdid it—pure fashion madness
- If you had seen what he wore in pre-Jinrang era…
- He fought the nickname until Jinrang also called him shark (thanks to Hwang). So he became shark ambassador
- Post Baek-fights stress is real, his grins haunts gang at nights. Even Hwang Jungseok, tho he won’t admit it
---
- Despite being called “Wolf”, Jinrang is actually somehow on goot terms with them. Maybe wolf recognizes wolf, nobody knows.
- When Baek was offended by the shark incident (refer to this ) Jinrang brought three actual wolves to howl with under Baek’s window. Problem solved, but Baek is still hated by his neighbors
- These three wolves are actually Jinrang gang members too, namely—Neukjang (old wolf), Neukam (lady wolf) and their pup Neukrin (baby wolf). Jinrang’s their honorary uncle. He keeps treats stocked for them
- Jinrang’s the gang’s cat—appears out of nowhere and then vanishes without a trace. Comes and goes as he likes, naps on roofs
---
- Baek Sang absolutely sucks at fishing
- Hwang Jungseok stills believes in his fishing skills, but actually as bad as Baek. He blames it on his rod and asks Baek for his (you get the reference, yes?)
---
- Jinrang can ride a motorcycle and both looks and does it better and cooler than Jaegwan Do and Hashik Song
- He also has a random connections in the motorcycle words
- Man has friends everywhere
- Sangjin Hyun is actually a PIANO PRODIGY and can play almost any piece after hearing it once. Maybe his fighting copy talent is just an extension of his piano skills
- By day, breaks faces. By night, plays Chopin (his mom is proud of his piano skills so she turns a blind eye on hobby of his)
- Baek once attended Sangjin’s piano concert and felt guilty for wasting such talent on fights
- Min Jihoon is the Karaoke Bar Casanova—all the girls love him. They gossip with him, hug him, and are always happy to see him
- Shin Arim, on the other hand, completely sucks at talking to girls
---
- Baek Sang controls all business processes in the gang and has a passion project
- This is…
- A plushy wolves business
- Baek obsesses with them—checks quality, design, and every aspect of them. Zero profit, 100% hyung-nim simpness.
- Jinrang sends them to orphanages
---
- The rumors of “psychopaths, ready to kill anyone, led by famous gangsta protege” are actually came from…
- Baek Sang, who went overboard (again)
- Upon hearing rumors, Mayor of Busan scolded Jinrang and told them to stop this
- They failed and it went even farther
[P.S.]
- Jinrang is bi??? (spoilers from 545 chapter)
- Or he doesn’t give a fuck
