[1s generation]

•The 1st Generation, also referred to as The "Generation of Circles" or "Generation of War", is the era of fighters that followed the Pre-Generation. Following Gapryong Kim's decision to enter politics and disband the Gapryong Kim's Fist Gang, many of his followers resented him for giving up the status and power for something they saw as meaningless.

•But as his absets settled, they realized he had never designated a successor; thus, the position as underworld king was empty. The former members split into factions and began to cause conflict among themselves, fighting for the title of king. During the many scuffles, they began reaching out and recruiting high schoolers to replenish their dwindling numbers and have them do petty crimes to earn money.

•This decision, however, would mark their downfall. By giving them a taste of power, these high schoolers wanted more. Eventually leading them to overthrow their Pre-Generation superiors and ruling over this new era by themselves. They eventually created a region-based criminal system centered around Kings and Circles, marking the birth of the 1st generation.

[Kitae Kim's Union]

•The Kitae Kim's Union is an alliance is led by Kitae Kim and James Lee, the legendary figures of the First Generation

Organization:

This is an alliance formed by Kitae Kim and James Lee. Kitae Kim, son of Gapryong Kim, declared that he would once again follow in his father's footsteps and become the king of shadows. James Lee aspires to a society where evil does not manifest on the surface. Therefore, if Kitae Kim becomes the king of shadows like Gap-ryong Kim, James Lee is the king of light, meaning he will follow the path of politics (just like Gapryong Kim) with the help of Gibok Jang, a representative of the political party.

[Personality]

•Minseon Kang’s terse verdict in describing Kitae is the evil side of Gapryong Kim. This offers perhaps the most accurate lens through which to understand him. He is not simply a violent man; he is the concentrated core of his father’s ferocity that perhaps embodies his most vilest self, stripped of any pretense of conscience, loyalty, or restraint. Where Gapryong Kim’s strength carried respectful semblance of purpose, Kitae embodies the same force but liberated from any ethical boundary and borderline hypocrisy.

•A closer examination of his behavior reveals not just a killer, but a psychopath so utterly habituated to his own depravity that atrocity becomes mundane. For Kitae, violence is not a reaction to conflict but a fundamental expression of existence. He does not kill because he must, but because his inner world places no inherent value on human life. His willingness to butcher anyone with a hatchet speaks volumes: he favors violence in its rawest, most personal incarnation—face to face, immersed in the victim’s final moments.

•One of the clearest glimpses into his psyche comes from a single act in his younger days: his casual walk through the streets of Seoul, his clothes soaked in fresh blood from a fight and victory. This scene exposed his utter indifferent to any social order and consequence. The fear of authority, none of these applying to him. His only reflection on the aftermath is tellingly neutral noting, almost analytically, that Korean police operate "quickly", contrasting it with his life in Mexico. To him, a murder scene is not a moral reckoning but a logistical detail to be catalogued for future reference.

•he likely a sadistic when it's come to torture people, enemies

•he's aslo a psychopath, he doesn't feel anything at all when he killed people

[History]

•Kitae's history cuts like a blade cutting clean through silence. A ghost of the First Generation, Kitae is less remembered as a man and more as the residue of unrelenting violence: an echo of carnage that persists long after the deeds are done. Officially catalogued among the First Generation fighters, his history is defined more by speculation than by fact.

•What little is known suggests a life rooted in bloodshed. Born an illegitimate son of Gapryong Kim, Kitae was introduced into a world that excluded him by default. Denied legitimacy, whether out of shame, scandal, or sheer neglect, his early years are a stain largely scrubbed from the Kim family’s history. At some point, under circumstances lost to rumor, he vanished from Korea and resurfaced in Tijuana, Mexico, where he immersed himself in the brutal heart of a violent cartel and forged his identity in blood.

•The official details surrounding his father’s death remain ambiguous. Yet Kitae’s involvement was implied, hinting it was not peripheral but decisive. Some accounts suggest he masterminded the entire affair, driven to obliterate any legacy that might overshadow his own ascent. According to fragments of surviving rumor, he conspired with James Lee and Charles Choi to eliminate Gapryong Kim and his most loyal ally, Baekho Kwon, in a single coordinated blow. This double execution dismantled the last organized resistance of the older generation, clearing the path for Choi’s corporate empire and Kitae’s reign of sheer physical dominance.

•Not much is known about his past, what is known is that he was involved in the death of Gapryong Kim, and that James Lee sent him to defeat Jichang Kwak, and steal his throne as the King of Seoul, succeeding in both.

---

[Fighting Prowess]

•His combat power is said by Gongseob Ji to be "the peak of the 1st Generation", therefore, he was one of the few kings who along with Jichang Kwak (albeit for different reasons, Jichang spared out of pity), had nothing taken away by James Lee. (However, this could also be attributed to the two being on the same side during the 1st generation.).

•Furthermore, his fighting style does not seem to possess a specific "technique," instead embodying raw strength and speed. He is described to have the speed of Gongseob Ji and the power of Taesoo Ma in his fists by Jichang Kwak during their fight while heavily holding back. Kitae also possesses enough power to mirror Jichang's hand blade, though rather than chopping with the side of his hand, he stabbed the side of Jichang's hand itself by only using his fingers, digging underneath the skin up to Kitae's second knuckle

•Kitae demonstrated Mastery over Endurance, coming out practically unharmed from all the attacks he has suffered to date. The only one who has injured him was Jinrang when he surpassed his limits after witnessing the death of his brothers, reaching a new level of Conviction, and even then, the damage was superficial. Even when several police officers used tasers on him and discharged a shock throughout his body, he remained unperturbed until calmly answering a cell phone.

• has been noted that Kitae tries to imitate others, though rather than being the true Copy Technique, as held by others, Kitae's imitation is just a cheap facsimile, instead supplementing his lack of the ability with pure brute force, shown when he tried to imitate Jichang Kwak's hand blade but only succeeded in destroying his hand.

[Trivia]

•Kitae Kim eats raw meat (like a raw steak) to visually emphasize his feral, unhinged, and dominant "alpha" personality. It highlights his lack of civilized restraint and his raw, brutal approach to life and combat

•He lived there in Mexico in his childhood (reason not released yet) quite some time before coming to Korea, to the point He even was surprised when the Police arrived quickly, he was unfamiliar with how Police works in korea, he probably lived his childhood and most of his Life in Mexico

•The back tattoo on the character Gitae Kim (also spelled Kitae Kim) from the webtoon Lookism features large Spanish lettering spanning his upper back "El Pecador" (The Sinner).

•In broader artistic and cultural contexts, large covering back pieces like these are generally referred to as full-back tattoos or traditional body art.
