Curate, connect, and discover
So according to ep. 137, after the dog cult thing, Seong Yohan disappeared and his mom was sent to rehab.
A year later he joined the national boxing competition with Lee Jinsung as his opponent. He won. And after the match, he was seen to be with some guy. Was he Yohan's mentor?
He said something along the lines of "do you have any regrets?" Yohan answered "i have no regrets, neither do i have friends", implying that he has abandoned his childhood besties, Lee Jinsung and Kim Mijin.
Whoever that mysterious guy was, he must've known about Yohan's background. My theory is that the guy who was with Yohan was Park Jonggun. Crazy, right? But here's why i think so.
In the Kim Gimyung / Big Deal Arc, it was said that Seong Yohan escaped the dog cult and ran all the way from wherever that cult was to Gangseo-gu a.k.a Big Deal's turf. Yohan was found by Kwon Jitae (see ep. 306)
Jitae took him in only to see Yohan be rejected by Seo Songeun. He said Yohan couldn't join Big Deal due to their financial situation that prevented them from recruiting new members.
"If you want to make money so badly, just steal some shoes and sell them, man..." - Seo Songeun, 16 years old.
And Yohan be like: "Ok"
So he fought a bunch of dudes and stole their shoes.
Until Jonggun found him and took him under his wing (Ep. 211)
Jonggun offered him to take over Gangbuk-gu by forming a crew. "You can make a lotta money out of that," he said.
Seong Yohan accepted the offer, hence God Dog, right?
So how is this related to the boxing competition? Here's how.
Some conversation must've taken place off panel right after Jonggun found him, which i assume was a year after Yohan left Gangseo-gu (notice the change of Yohan's appearance in ep. 211, and compare it to when he was staying at Big Deal's in ep. 307).
I imagine the conversation went like this:
Yohan: "I accept your offer, but I have one last thing to do before I join your business."
Jonggun: "Sure buddy, whaddya want?"
Yohan: "I want to defeat my rival in the upcoming national boxing competition. I want to leave everything behind."
Jonggun: "Gotcha."
And then episode 138 happened. And this was Kim Mijin's POV:
As Yohan walked away, I couldn't catch him. Yohan once again disappeared without a trace before our eyes.
Damn you, ninja cutting onions!
And so, Yohan left his childhood best friends and formed God Dog. And also became buddies with Park Jonggun.
And then, at the end of episode 138, Park Jonggun said something along the lines of, "Seems like yesterday you trained yourself and won. Forget boxing, man. Let's make some serious money."
And Yohan was like, "Hell yeah, dude. I'm gonna take over your position for real."
BUT HEY, IT'S JUST A THEORY. A LOOKISM THEORY!
Thank you for reading!!
I'm gonna do a recap on God Dog next. Peace✌️
