——————

Kwon Jae-Sung (Hangul: 권재성) better known as Kwon, is the secondary antagonist during season 6 of Cobra Kai, serving as the secondary antagonist during part 1, and one of the two secondary antagonists during part 2.

Kwon was the top student of Master Kim Da-Eun in Korea and was part of the newly revived Cobra Kai Dojo. He and his classmates participate in the Sekai Taikai.

Kwon Jae-Sung was one of the many students training under sensei Kim Da-Eun on Korea, known for being a rebellious troublemaker, often ignoring the lessons he is taught and doing something different instead. Following the arrival of John Kreese to Korea, he took over Sensei Kim's students and punished all of them for Kwon's snarkiness, which made all of the other students mad at him, particularly Yoon Do-Jin, the top student.

After Kwon confronted his new sensei that night, Kreese told Kwon that he should harness all the hate that he had and give it purpose by attacking Yoon Do-Jin and show everyone that he was the top student of his class so he could lead Cobra Kai to win the Sekai Taikai. Motivated by this, Kwon successfully defeated Yoon and two other students with relative ease, taking away Yoon's geum baeji and claiming the title of top student from him.

He later traveled to Spain, Barcelona, to compete at the Sekai Taikai, alongside his fellow students and Tory Nichols. During the Sekai Taikai, he, Yoon, and Tory fight Axel and Zara but lose in mere seconds. When he goes up against Robby Keene, he ties the score but is defeated, causing Cobra Kai to be eliminated. However, a Russian dojo gets disqualified because of their failing their drug tests, causing Cobra Kai to get another chance.

Not much about Kwon’s past is known, particularly his childhood. He was stated to have a tough life and continue to build up more anger as the years went on. He found an outlet in Cobra Kai, but was a major troublemaker since he was young, as stated by his sensei, Kim Da-Eun. While training in the dojo, he developed a rivalry with Yoon Do-Jin. Not following the ultimate defense breaker technique that Da-Eun tells her students to master, Kwon instead made the board holder raise it, performing a 540 spinning hook kick or a cheat 720 hook kick, snapping the wood in half. Since he didn't listen to Da-Eun's instruction, Kwon was told to clean Grandmaster Kim Sun-Yung's toilet as punishment.

During a training session, Kwon states his way of defeating opponents with a bigger heart and resolve without sincerity, leading sensei John Kreese to turn the other students against him by forcing them all to do an intensive exercise due to Kwon's behavior. Angry at Kwon's antics, Yoon pushes him down, much to the anger of Kwon.

John Kreese, who has just found out the main secrets of Cobra Kai's strength through Kim Sun-Yung's guidance, tells Kwon to unleash all of his anger to defeat his opponents after Kwon confronts the sensei about being attacked by his peers.

Immediately following their chat, Kwon used his pent-up frustration on the top model student of the dojo, Yoon Do-Jin, and pushes him, catching the student off guard. Jin asks him if he has had enough, to which Kwon says he has had enough with him. Jin attacks him but Kwon easily blocks his strikes and then hits his foot. He tells Jin that while he is formidable due to him always doing what he is told, this also makes him predictable. Jin attacks him again but is quickly defeated by Kwon. Kwon then uses his strength to defeat the two others who had talked with Do-Jin. After defeating them, Jin kicks him. The two fight again, with Kwon attacking Do-Jin's neck with a two-hand Viper chop (a technique Kwon learned by himself) and uses a trachea strike to make his breath go away. Kwon then dismantles Do-Jin's legs with his kicks, knocking him out with a flipping kick with one leg. Kwon takes the geum baeji (gold badge), a badge that represents the top student, and claims it for himself, showing he is the better fighter. He then becomes the main leader of Cobra Kai for the upcoming Sekai Taikai in Barcelona.

During one of the first events of the Sekai Taikai, he faces Miyagi-Do captain Robby Keene and while the latter initially had the edge, he loses focus, leading to Kwon defeating him to earn a point for Cobra Kai. Then he, Yoon, and Tory fight Iron Dragons captains Axel and Zara but lose in mere seconds. While at a bar on one night, he intentionally messes with Robby by flirting with Tory in front of him and mocking Robby. Afterwards, he, Yoon, and a few other Cobra Kai's briefly get into a fight with Samantha LaRusso and Axel.

Later in the tournament, Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do find themselves in a crucial elimination round, with only one dojo able to advance. After defeating Miyagi Do's Miguel Diaz, he has a rematch with Robby. However, a focused and rageful Robby easily defeats him, causing Cobra Kai to be eliminated at first. The following morning, a furious Kwon accuses Robby of getting lucky and briefly got into it with Tory. However, shortly afterward, the Russian-based Tiger Strike is disqualified after some of the pupils tested positive for performance-enhanced drugs, causing Cobra Kai to get another chance. He easily wins his subsequent semifinal match, earning Cobra Kai a spot in the finals.

During the all-dojo brawl, Kwon and Yoon gang up on Robby, with Kwon attempting to get revenge on his earlier defeat, but Robby manages to escape and gain the upper-hand on them. He is later seen defeating a few students. After seeing Robby knocked down, he attacks him. When Sam tries to help Robby, he kicks her.

Kwon was a temperamental and rebellious student and person, choosing to fight his own way and not following Kim Da Eun's instructions. He had a lot of arrogance and he did not respect anyone other than himself. He in particular had a dislike towards the then top student Yoon Do-Jin. He also had a lot of pent up anger and vengeance in him, and after being advised by Kreese to give his anger purpose, he aggressively beats up Do-Jin and his friends, leading to him becoming his dojo's top student.

Personality :

Having grown up in a difficult environment and using Cobra Kai's no mercy rule as an outlet for his pain and anger, Kwon was a highly dangerous and violently unstable person. As he learned to hone his skills in the art of karate, he started to become even more aggressive.

His behavior does seem to mirror a young Mike Barnes and Chozen. Because of being selfish, Kwon makes fatal mistakes. This was also the result of his behaviour mirroring a young Johnny Lawrence when it comes to his anger. Because of this, Kwon was unable to control himself, and is reckless.

Fighting Style :

Kwon’s martial arts foundation is rooted in the original Cobra Kai style, developed by Kim Sun-Yung and based on the traditional Korean art of Tang Soo Do. With extensive training in this style, Kwon has honed his skills over many years.

His fighting approach showcases advanced kicking techniques; mainly involving multiple combination kicks mid-air, advanced rotation kicks, or both, often demonstrated through impressive board-breaking displays. These powerful kicks are complemented by his defensive maneuvers, which create openings for devastating counterattacks. One of Kwon’s signature moves is the two-handed "Viper Chop," a technique he has refined within the Cobra Kai framework. His punches carry significant force, capable of momentarily incapacitating opponents.

In addition to his striking abilities, Kwon possesses remarkable agility and acrobatic skills, executing maneuvers not typically seen among other Cobra Kai students. His aggressive "no mercy" mindset, central to the Cobra Kai philosophy, further amplifies his danger as a fighter.

During his match against Do-Jin, Kwon effectively channels his pent-up anger, using his skills and awareness of Do-Jin's predictability to secure an easy victory. He also swiftly defeats two other students associated with Do-Jin.

Despite Kreese's favorism of Johnny, the former believed that Kwon was superior to the latter in skill, due to Kreese believing Kwon is ready and worthy to be a Sekai Taikai champion, which would put him higher than Young Johnny in skill, whom Kreese said wasn't ready yet. Due to Kreese believing Kwon is ready and worthy to be a Sekai Taikai champion, which would make him superior to Young Johnny, whom Kreese said wasn't ready yet.

Overall, Kwon Jae-Sung is recognized as the most powerful, ruthless fighter to emerge from the Cobra Kai dojo since the infamous Mike Barnes in The Karate Kid Part III, demonstrating even greater skill than Barnes. His mastery of the Cobra Kai style, creativity in developing new techniques, and sheer physical prowess make him a formidable threat in the ongoing rivalry among the various dojos.

In the Sekai Taikai, Kwon proved himself as one of the most terrifying fighters in it, as Kreese previously had stated. In the first event, Captain's War, he was able to effortlessly defeat Demetri, contend with Miguel, and defeat an unfocused Robby. In the Miyagi-do vs. Cobra Kai tag elimination round, Kwon contended with Samantha and Miguel individually, managing to slightly overwhelm the two by scoring a hit, but when he faced Robby, he could not land a single hit and Robby successfully and fairly easily defeated him. Despite being defeated by Robby, he was the only Cobra Kai member to score points for the team. In the semi-finals, Kwon easily defeated Diego Aguilar, even knocking out the latter with a kick. He, however, was no match for Axel, who defeated him effortlessly in both their fights, despite Kwon having Yoon aiding him in the first fight, and Kwon managing not to land a single hit.

However, Kwon does have a minor weakness in his style, particularly in his punches. Kwon possesses more striking speed and strength in his legs than he does in his arms, which is why he prefers using kicks to defeat his opponents. So in the few times he’s tried to land a punch on an opponent, namely Miguel and Robby, the two boys were able to counter Kwon’s attacks.

Abilities :

Master hand-to-hand combatant/Martial artist: Kwon has been training in the hardest techniques of Tang Soo Do; since childhood. As the years progressed, he became an extremely formidable hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist. He has effortlessly defeated the top fighters in his class, and possesses a skill level that easily trumps the students of Miyagi-Do; but not as much as Axel or Zara.

Enhanced strength: Kwon is in excellent shape of his Brute strength and Lifting strength, as he is forced to carry around heavy bags of sand and water on a consistent basis as part of his everyday training, and able to take away his opponents breath with one great punch to their chests.

Stamina: Kwon possesses great reflexes and does not run out of energy; when fighting; allowing him to counter and defend against all of his enemies' attacks. Even enemies who possess identical speed to his.

Kicking: Kwon is the first Cobra Kai student ever seen to perform all remarkable kinds of flips, spins and difficult master level aerial kicks, all of; which no other Cobra Kai student has done. Not even Robby and Tory.

High Intelligence: Similar to Robby Keene, one of Kwon's greatest attributes is his superior intelligence. He is incredibly crafty, and is constantly coming up with new ways to better improve his skills and can outthink his opponents in battle. But unlike Robby, Kwon does not listen to anybody; which means he is not limited to following rules and knowing only what he is taught.

Indomitable Will: Kwon is fearless and does not take negativity from anyone. He is completely capable of standing up for himself in front of anyone, and is even capable of challenging Kim Da-Eun his sensei.
