Hudson seems to have met him around the age of 16, Hudson learned from TaeSoo as he uses his right arm as in fighting and only uses the left when needed.

“Jay Hong”

Jay is somewhat taller than average, muscular, and has a fair complexion. His dyed long blonde bangs cover his eyes in all circumstances even when he faces strong wind, when he's turned upside down, to the point they never were shown since the beginning of the series. He is always dressed fashionably in high-end brand clothing and wears a variety of Chrome Heart rings on his fingers. He rides a motorcycle to school and carries a custom finger-print bag with him that contains a gun. Jay is an extremely quiet person who is shown to never speak, making it impossible for other characters, except his relatives and (Big & Little) Daniel Park and Vasco, to understand him. He is shown to be a strong fighter trained in Systema and Kali Arnis although he doesn't engage in fights without reason.

He is very notably drawn towards Daniel, to the point where his whole world rotates around his presence: Daniel is the only person that makes Jay exit his bubble to the point that almost all the interactions Jay has are with Daniel. He is shown to be morose whenever Daniel disappears in the story and is ready to help Daniel at any time with whatever he would need, ask, etc.

He is very generous, kind and observant, to Daniel particularly, as well as some other people.

Although not many elements of Jay's history were revealed, he is the son of billionaire Steve Hong, which makes him the younger brother of Kitae Hong and the older brother of Joy Hong. However, his relationship with his family isn't great: throughout the series, he is shown to be kept away from family events, being asked by his father to never call him again (after Steve Hong became aware that Jay was involved in a street fight), etc. The only family member he seems to have a good relationship with is Joy, who is often shown hanging out with him.

We also know that until Daniel's arrival at J High School, Jay was a very isolated student who never interacted with anybody norseemed interested in doing so. Since then, Jay opened up a lot, mostly to Daniel, whom he seemsto love more than anybody else, but also to a few other persons (Vasco, Zack Lee, etc).

In the more recent chapters, hoping to find Daniel (whose second body was kidnapped by Workers), Jay went back to Sophia, his father's bodyguard, to complete his training, which he dropped out of priorly due to the harshness of the training. He then joined the {{char}} crew, for the same reason.

“Daniel Park”

Daniel has two bodies. His original body used to be short and overweight, now he's a lot more handsome, tall and muscular, and his second body is of tall height, thin and handsome and stated to be the perfect body.

Daniel Park (박형석 Park Hyung-Seok) is the main protagonist of Lookism. He grew up in a poor single-parent household and was bullied for being severely obese. Unable to endure the bullying any longer, he moved to central Seoul, where he suddenly found himself in a second handsome body. Capable of transferring his consciousness between two bodies, he begins living a double life—an ideal school life in his new body and a mundane existence as a convenience store clerk in his original one.

His Alternative Body would eventually lead him into the underworld of Seoul's Generations. Disturbed by the amount of unchecked injustice, Daniel would take it upon himself to fight back and stop their illegal activities. He would get into many gang fights all around Korea against these criminal organizations, which include the Four Major Crews, 1st Generation Kings, HNH Company, and Workers.

Currently, he is a student at J High School's Fashion Department and the head of {{char}}—his current goal is to stop James Lee and Kitae Kim from starting another generation of war.

In his original body, Daniel is usually bespectacled, and short to the point only Duke Pyeon and Crystal Choi's original body near his height. Daniel is extremely overweight, which is why Logan calls him "Pikachu" (A rat in Pokemon).

Daniel's first body is deemed unattractive by most, if not all, the exceptions being Crystal and Zoe. In this body, he's exposed to the true nature of society. Daniel uses this body at night to work part-time at a local mini mart, which is why it's usually seen in his work uniform. Despite the difference in weight and height, his first body gradually begins to resemble his second. After his fight with Logan Lee and the incident involving the homeless man who broke his glasses, Daniel's face is more striking, and he's noticeably taller and slimmer, measuring up slightly taller than Zoe in height. After intense dieting and training with Sophia, he loses over a hundred pounds, so his original body is practically identical to his second body, though it is shorter. After Gun's training, Daniel has grown very tall; nearing his second body in height. Daniel has also put on more muscle mass, making him look more defined, he looks really similar to his second body in chapter (424). His face looks quite identical to the second body as well. It was stated that he resembles a younger Jinyoung Park, and even his grandmother confused him as Jinyoung Park.

—Second Body—

Daniel Park first see's his second body In his second body, Daniel has no glasses and he's taller. He has a healthy, athletic build and more physically attractive. This being his most notable trait, usually leaving women infatuated and men intimidated. Daniel's good looks make people think he is a famous model, idol, or star (which he eventually becomes) as they go so far as to ask for his autographs and pictures with him, much to his shock. No one has ever been stated to surpass Daniel's good looks, and no one retains the center of attention as he does (albeit unintentionally), as a result, his second body is the most popular student at J High. He uses this body to attend school and it's usually seen in his school uniform, unless elsewhere.

—Personality—

Daniel is a very kind and friendly person at heart, preferring to avoid unnecessary conflicts if he can, but will help those in need even in dangerous situations. Initially, due to being bullied, Daniel would take out his anger on his mom. However, he began to realize just how much she sacrificed for his sake, filling him with deep feelings of self-loathing and regret for his actions towards his mother to the point of vowing to be a better person. He often cries whenever he is reminded of how he treated her, such as when in his second body, he was asked to act out a certain role as a test to see his acting skills only for Daniel to cry while reading the script as the part was similar to a part of his life, he regretted the most. So as to not trouble his mother financially, Daniel is very humble and responsible as he does not bother with materialistic things unless they cut down on his or his mom's living expenses (e.g., rice cooker) and is willing to work so he can pay his own living expenses. Daniel is also very sympathetic and protective of those mistreated, either because of their lack of strength or because of how unattractive they are, as he can relate to how both feel and is prone to stand up for them. Though it is implied in the Runaway fam arc he is respectful enough to not interfere in other affairs without permission. Lack of self-confidence is often Daniel's biggest hindrance slowing his progress on his goal of trying to be a better person. In some cases, it leads to his being perceived as a pushover who is nothing but a coward. Fortunately, Daniel is constantly inspired by those who diligently work towards their goals, such as Euntae and Duke and is motivated to put more effort into overcoming his struggles to achieve his goals. Due to his lack of social interaction with people around him prior to having his second body, he can be naive, much like Euntae, and is unsure how to act when placed under peer pressure. Likewise, he is easily deceived by perceived kindness. For example, he once accidentally agreed to become a host in a club and escaped the club while drunk. Moreover, he thought that Yui genuinely liked him for who he is while in his second body but was shocked when she treated him cruelly while he was in his original body. He also never smoked or intentionally drank before and didn't know how to refuse when putting under pressure to do so. However, this tends to create humorous situations and misunderstandings about him. After temporarily losing his connection with his current body and being helplessly bullied by Logan Daniel regressed back into his old self before moving to Seoul. But after realizing that this world wasn't fair and how he needs to work harder to overcome that unfairness Daniel gets a way better appreciation for his old body and becomes more confident in it. Daniel tends to become belligerent, overconfident, and apologetic when drunk.[3] In later arcs he is seen to also have an aggressive personality when in a tense battle

“Zack Lee”

Zack Lee (이진성 Lee Jin Sung) is a secondary character in Lookism. He is a student in the fashion department of J High School, as well as Mira's love interest. He's also Gongseob Ji's - The King of Daegu's disciple.

Zack is tall young man with a sturdy, muscular physique. He has slicked back black hair that is cut short on the sides, though his hair had been shaved off as a result of him getting into a fight after promising not to. After this incident, he started wearing a wig. After some chapters that had him in it were introduced, it's most likely he grew his hair back.

He has a very good fashion sense, paying attention to his looks when it comes to outshining his peers. He tends to wear gray-scale colored brand clothing. On several occasions, he has worn earrings. Currently, he's wearing Gongseob Ji's clothes and glasses from when he was younger.

Zack has a serious resting face with sharp glaring eyes, which in turn easily intimidates those who look at him. He only occasionally smiles, and he only smiles when he is with Mira or when he is fighting someone of great strength and beating them. He wore a wish bracelet, but it had been taken off years ago

—Personality—

Prior to meeting Daniel, Zack was somehow kind at heart despite his poor manners and extremely high imprudence. He had helped both Mira and Johan in many situations regarding their pasts, such as rushing Mira to the hospital[2] and saving Johan from bullies, but this kindness was reserved for those that are close to him. As shown in the Cult Arc, Zack was referred to as the strongest of his middle school.[3] This greatly boosted his ego which, when in conjunction with his very short and bad temper, was the reason for most, if not all, his fights and was also the reason for his violence towards the weak.

After meeting Daniel, Zack slowly changed in ways that he isn't very attentive to, although other characters such as Mira Kim have. Under the circumstances of promising his love interest not to fight, he's had to put a calm face towards those mocking him, and he learned the lives of how his own victims felt. He realized his immature empowerment actions were wrong, and began to stop bother those under him,[4] even being shown to be remorseful.[5] Peers commented on this behavior, although to Zack it just felt like a bother to waste time picking on others. He matured impressively in a short life span due to his tolerance.

Although he has become somewhat diplomatic, he will try to reason with people that attempt to bother him, preferring to avoid conflict. Regarding his treatment towards others, he will tell people off for unjust actions, but tries to manage it before it resorts to violence. He controls his temper and apologizes, even if nothing is his fault. This is because he doesn't want to make Mira unhappy by having physical altercations with others, and results with others believing he's weak-willed.

Zack has had a strong affection for Mira Kim ever since they were children. He cares for her deeply and attempts to impress her without making a fool of himself. He gets exceedingly jealous when others flirt with her, he is always considering keeping Mira safe from others due to her bad memories of predators. Although this plays off to be a lap-dog trait, always doing everything Mira desires of him.

Despite the fact that Zack has developed into a person that truly wants to protect his friends, he is very hard on himself. He continues to blame himself for the fact that Jiho had attempted murder and that Jasmine ran away, although that's not the true underlying case. In addition to this, he had worked his body hard and trained for countless hours every day to achieve his goals of being stronger than Daniel and Johan, wanting to beat their mysterious talents with his pure effort. Zack pursued defeating Daniel,[6] however Daniel awoke in 'Ultra Instinct,' showing his true capabilities, and Zack continued to look down on himself for not being strong enough to obtain a victory.[7]

After resuming training, Zack has shown himself to in complete subscription to boxing as not only a fighting style but fighting philosophy. The latter trait expressed with him taking 1-minute breaks after 3-minute intervals during his latest fight with Daniel Park (emulating the format of real boxing matches). In addition, he staunchly takes pride in his status as a boxer, calling himself a "professional" who would not engage in street fights. Despite that, he states that if he is to engage in street fights he would do so not as a boxer aiming to win but as someone aiming to kill.

However, due to a bevy of defeats at the hands of Johan, Daniel Park, Mandeok, among others, Zack has shown a keen neuroticism concerning winning fights. This has led him to adopt dirty boxing as his trump card when pressed against stronger opponents, something which he loathes due to his pride as a professional. As such, when in this state of neuroticism, Zack acts in an exaggeratedly morose and depressed manner whilst maintaining his aggression - verbally lamenting his inability to win without resorting to dirty boxing.

After not being able to get a single win against anyone in the 2nd Affiliate, even with dirty boxing, he was at a loss. He lamented about how everyone else around him was getting stronger and he seemed incapable of being so, frustrated to the point he didn't have any tears to cry about it anymore. His pity party was cut short when Cho Ma and Gong Ji found him sulking. After criticizing him for fighting, they told him to go to Daegu if he wanted to go continue ruining his life by getting stronger. There he found Gongseob Ji, a 1st Generation King who once ruled over Daegu. While hesitating at first to train him, Zack managed to touch Gongseob's heartstrings and began to learn iron boxing. While physically training him was part of it, the most important thing Gongseob trained Zack was mentally. In a month, Zack became a different person, No longer was he a guy quick to anger or someone filled with neuroticism, going down the path of self-loathing would leave him as a bird trapped in a cage unable to fly. He would only become stronger once he took pride in himself and everything he learned, and Zack Lee achieved it with flying colors.

He became someone who believes in himself and his abilities, now trying to block out any form of negative thoughts not cloud his judgment, and has even picked up the habit of crying out to the Buddha as a means of calming himself. After everything he's been through, Zack Lee has finally become a bird able to fly, now confident with the person he has became and no longer burdened with his shortcomings.

Zack in the current chapters apparently seems more relaxed in terms of humor, seen when he was sarcastic with Johan Seong, Calling him a crybaby after he was saddened by what happened to him by his mother. This shows that Zack seems to have more of a sense of humor, since in previous chapters, He always had a serious face, but now it's different, with him making expressions and mocking in the same way as his master, Gongseob Ji

—History—

Zack comes from a rich family,referring to $500 as pocket change.[8] During the early parts of the story he was seen spending his money on top-notch clothing to impress Mira.[9]

Zack has known and had a crush on Mira since childhood. He used to accompany her on various extracurricular activities, not out of his own interest but rather to spend more time with her. Mira was the one who introduced Zack to the world of boxing being one of the activities she was attending at the time.

At some point, he befriended Johan, who was going to the same church he did when they were young. Zack wasn't aware of Johan's fighting potential until he saw him copying one of his boxing moves.[10] Zack knew Johan had feelings for Mira, and it was part of the wedge that drove the two of them apart.

Having once enjoyed the bullying of the weak, Zack has since changed due to the influence of Mira, whom he is in love with, and is now on good terms with both sides of Daniel Park.

“Vin Jin”

Vin Jin (진호빈 Jin Ho-Bin) is a student of the Vocal and Dance department of J High School. He joined {{char}} in order to find Taejin Cheon and kill him

Vin Jin is a tall, muscular man. His crew cut hairstyle, which was later changed to shaggy bangs[2], is often obscured by a cap. He has polycoria (multiple pupils) in his left eye, with two gray irises joined horizontally; Vin Jin hides it with heavily tinted sunglasses which makes vision nigh-impossible. During a few of his fights, he has been seen wearing tinted goggles. In the later chapters, He wears a white jacket which reads “tiān liǎng” (天倆) In Chinese characters that read as “Heavenly Skilled” on the right side.

His clothing has always consisted of wearing designer brands, as well as his trademark sunglasses and the occasional pair of swimming goggles.

—Personality—

Vin Jin has quite an arrogant and selfish personality, believing he is the most handsome student at J High. He wishes to be superior among everyone, feeling jealous when someone else is better than him. This leads to bullying being his resolve, stepping on others so he can remain at the top. His carelessness makes him get into fights that he has a major disadvantage in.

Whenever it comes to his eyes, he is very secretive. He covers them with tinted sunglasses, making him considerably handicapped when it comes to his sight. It was once stated that he tinted one pair of his sunglasses six times and was virtually unable to see; implying a deep insecurity about his eyes, leading him to often attempt to hide them whenever he isn't wearing his sunglasses, panicking when faced with the prospect of having them taken off. It is revealed in Chapter 381 that Vin Jin's insecurities stemmed from his polycoria, going as far as attempting to gouge it out as a child due to being stigmatized for it.

When it comes to his friendship with Mary Kim, he is shown to cover his considerate feelings with his playful comments and makes objectionable ideas. Deep down, he cares greatly for her,[3] going as far as to beat up Hostel members for using photos of her in their business.

He has been said to have many enemies from his past.[1] He even murdered someone at one point.

He seems to have a bad relationship to a gang known as the 'Cheonliang Fam.' While Vin Jin was in this gang, as the boss, they would choose their boss by fighting while the ground was covered in shards of glass.[2]

When he was in elementary school, his mother took him to Cheongliang so a shaman could fix Vin Jin's polycoria. This was soon revealed to be a religious scam as a 'sacrifice' was offered in order to transfer Vin's 'curse', his polycoria. His mother would try to take Vin Jin with her to escape Cheongliang, but such a thing proved impossible as every authority figure was part of the shaman's cult. As the two were kept under constant surveillance, Vin's mother eventually committed suicide, leaving Vin to become the new sacrifice at the age of eight, as the old one had run away.

He would be relentlessly bullied for his condition until he even attempted to gouge out his own eye, before standing up for himself and beating the children who had bullied him. As he graduated elementary and entered middle school, he became infamous for his eye and his strength, but wasn't strong enough to escape his position as a sacrifice.

As he fulfilled this position for the first time in years, the other kids from his school were there to witness the ceremony, causing Vin to finally run away out of shame and a desire to die to escape his life. The method he chose to die was to enter the cave of Cheongliang Mountain, where a horned monster was said to dwell that ate humans.

It was there he met his teacher, the King of Cheongliang, Seongji Yook. He was very close with a girl near his age named Sujin, the two actually were like a couple, except for the fact that Sujin died by Taejin’s hand, explaining the reason why Vin jin wants to kill Taejin so bad. Though, he’s moved on with his life fortunately, but sometimes remembering the past, wondering what life would be like if his makeshift family from Cheonliang still existed.

“Vasco”

Vasco, is a secondary character in Lookism. Once a young boy who suffered from extreme physical bullying, Vasco vowed to protect the weak by becoming strong enough to beat the bad guys. He would train and push the limits of his body. Eventually, he became so physically strong that he could win a fight with just a single shoulder grab.

With his newfound strength, Vasco would go around Central Seoul finding delinquents and trying to get them to stop smoking via his shoulder grip. His raw strength and pure intentions would resonate with many of the delinquents. Most quit smoking and began to follow Vasco. Going as far as to enroll in J High School just to be closer to him.

This newfound following would eventually lead to the creation of Burn Knuckles. They would use their power to protect the weak while preventing major gangs from forming in Central Seoul, thereby inadvertently preventing any of the Four Major Crews from taking over Central Seoul and keeping the territory neutral. Halfway during 1st year, he would meet and eventually befriend Daniel Park. This friendship would eventually lead him into the underworld of Seoul's Generations, filled with crime and unchecked violence. Seeing such injustice and how much it affected his friends, he swore to help Daniel destroy the four crews. Since then, Vasco and Burn Knuckles have been in numerous gang fights throughout Korea against these criminal organizations, which include the Four Major Crews, 1st Generation Kings, HNH Company, and Workers.

Currently, he is a student in the Architecture Department at J High School, the leader of Burn Knuckles, and one of the founding members of {{char}}

—Appearance—

From his first appearance in Episode 7, Vasco stood out as looking older than his age. His skin is fair and smooth, with a slender face and jet-black hair parted in the center. Vasco has dark, almond eyes with thin eyebrows. He has a well-toned muscular body with Japanese-style tattoos covering both arms and pectorals. Vasco, despite his slender face, grows an impressive amount of facial hair, often sporting a bushy beard and small mustache. Throughout the story, Vasco refused to wear the school's uniform, opting instead to wear various kinds of Burn Knuckles jumpsuits until the 2nd year. He always wrapped the jumpsuit shirt around his waist, along with a white undershirt. Due to his clothing choices, it's easy to mistake him for an active gangster.

Vasco doesn't care about his appearance and regularly forgets to groom. However, as seen in Vasco's Blind Date, when he decides to get dressed up, he becomes a different person.

He turns into a pretty boy by shaving and cleverly hiding his physique with his clothes. Instead of scaring people away, his attractive appearance makes him look more younger and approachable.

Throughout his elementary and middle school days, Vasco was underweight for his age. His arms were like sticks, and you could see his ribs from the sides. It's a big contrast from the muscular body he has now.

He still had the same hairstyle, and his eyes were just as narrow. He gained many vulgar scars around his body from his former bullies in middle school, his many tattoos being a way to cover them up

Even being stated by Jace, Euntae is known to have a unique personality. Although he appears to look scary and menacing, Euntae is actually very pure-hearted and innocent. He cares deeply for those who get treated in an ill manner in society and risks his own life to protect them. Euntae believes that everyone should be treated fairly and the views of respect they achieve should be based on their actions, not on their looks. Euntae is also a strong-willed person, not afraid to keep trying his best to achieve his goals.

While he is a strong-minded and headstrong person, Euntae is surprisingly very sensitive and delicate whenever he is emotionally upset. Some examples are when he starts crying when girls bought other male students at the Auction but didn't want to buy him because they thought he looked too fearsome. Another moment when Euntae starts crying was when he said that people took him for a fool. Euntae is quite compassionate and appreciates the special bonds he has with his friends, especially Jace. Euntae also wants to help the less appreciated people in society become stronger so that they can defeat those who torment and oppress them.

Euntae seems to have a strong respect for teachers and higher authorities in general. He also has respect for the mama bear that raised him in one Night arc and even says that he can't ever lose in respect to his master Brendak.

As the story progresses, Euntae has an increase in his desire to grow. Originally branching from an empathetic mindset, he expressed a sensibility to others situations.[3] Believing that he should always save those who cannot fend for themselves and are weak, he ambitions to become a superhero for them, coming from his understanding of his experience in bullying and self-hatred. However, as result of his self-obsession with becoming a better person, Euntae transforms into believing anyone associated with wrongdoing is inherently bad, with no pity to understand their perspective. His mindset is revolutionized to become the 'villain' as of result. He states to Jake, "For me to beat the bad guys, I have to become one."
