Cheongang Executives is the friendship between Han Changhui, Lee Juwon, Seol Giju, and Kim Doyun from the Weak Hero fandom.
Canon[]
Chapter 162
Jaeryeong Lee and the Cheongang Action Squad are standing in front of Cheongang’s executives with their heads hanging down in shame. Changhui, the current leader of Cheongang, reminds him that he must be aware of what Cheongang looks like when the Action Squad gets beaten to a pulp by little kids.
Jaeryeong apologizes and Changhui throws his glass at him, shattering it against the wall behind Jaeryeong. Changhui tells him that he shouldn't do something he’ll be sorry for in the first place. He reminds Jaeryeong that he told him not to mess with Mr. Jo. He asks if it was the bastards from Yeongdeungpo, perking the interest of Giju.
Jaeryeong says that the Action Squad let their guards down and that they were better than their expectations, but Doyun, Cheongang's Number Four, slaps him and repeats Changhui’s question. Jaeryeong answers that they are from Yeongdeungpo, and that they wanted to take back the contract Mr. Jo had ripped off of another CEO to hijack the building material supply bid.
Juwon, Cheongang's Number Two, confirms that Jaeryeong is right about Magyeong Construction and Mr. Jo, who is known for using shallow tricks to win over exclusive rights. Changhui says although it’s tricky to determine who’s at fault, since Cheongang took a hit, they can’t let it slide. If they keep quiet in a situation like that, they’ll lose face and their reputation on the street is over.
He says that they should’ve attacked the Union when they first took down Manwol because now their arrogance knows no bounds. Changhui orders all executives to gather at the Octagon—the building where the founding executives of Cheongang gathered to determine important affairs but is now an abandoned building—early next week.
When Jaeryeong and the Action Squad are dismissed, Giju runs after the former to ask about Wolf Keum (Keum Seongje in the Korean version). Not long later, Doyun tells Giju that Juwon wants to see him.
Chapter 163
Jaeryeong reports to Juwon and Giju that Kenny Ji (Ji Gwangseok in the Korean version), the low-rank executive from Manwol, is Jake Ji’s (Ji Hakho in the Korean version) older brother. Juwon recalls Jake and the Yeongdeungpo Union being the ones to bring down Manwol. Juwon had considered Changyeon Lee and Manwol as his strongest opponents, and it’s hard for him to believe that Changyeon’s empire fell all because of Kenny. Giju stays silent the entire time.
Jaeryeong leaves and one of the newer Action Squad members says that Giju seems gentler than the rest of the executives, and that his managerial skills are superior to his fighting skills. Jaeryeong scolds him and says Cheongang isn’t just made up of Changhui and Doyun.
Doyun has a very high self-esteem. A flashback shows that he had completely messed up Jackal, the Vice President of Seongsan Joint, for badmouthing Cheongang. What made recruiting Doyun possible was the existence of Juwon Lee, a legend in the Mapo area, and the Jungle Sickle of Mapo. Juwon is extremely calm when fighting, as if he’s weeding his garden.
When Cheongang’s founder, Janghyeok Woo, retired, Changhui and Juwon were the candidates to become the next generation’s boss because of their excellent fighting skills. Changhui was chosen due to having the charisma fit for a leader. What came to secure the second generation of Cheongang’s leadership was the Seongsan Massacre, which allowed Cheongang’s size to double when they absorbed Seongsan. The plan was to get rid of the top level heads of Seongsan and absorb the bottom level heads. First, Giju removed the most rebellious ones and defeated six, including their leader. The flashback ends.
Chapter 165
Doyun, Giju, and Juwon are gathered in a room when the Union executives attack the Octagon. Donald Na (Na Baekjin in the Korean version) greets the Cheongang executives and Doyun asks them who the fuck they are.
Chapter 167
A flashback shows that three years ago, prior to Changhui becoming the leader of the second generation, Cheongang was fighting against a rival gang. Changhui has Juwon go to the main building to help Janghyeok while he takes down the nine people. Juwon hesitates but Changhui reminds him that although Juwon's fighting skills are superior, he [Changhui] always makes it through the end.
Back in the present, Donald asks if Changhui is upstairs. Doyun demands to know who they are, but Donald ignores him which angers Doyun. Jimmy punches Doyun, and Doyun punches him back with an equally powerful hit. Giju reveals that they’re from Yeongdeungpo. Donald waits for the elevator and Juwon tells Doyun to leave him to Changhui because they defeated the guys downstairs without getting a single bruise.
Chapter 169
Doyun Kim, also known as Big Gun, used to be the leader of a small gang that was starting to grow in the outskirts of Mapo. Cheongang recognized his talent and offered him the fourth ranking executive position. He treats Changhui Han and Juwon Lee with respect, but has a subtle rivalry with Giju Seol, who is the same age as him.
Chapter 174
What Giju Seol feels toward Changhui Han can be described as reverence and terror. Toward Juwon Lee, he feels firm acknowledgement because there is no doubt that he is overwhelmingly gifted. He and Doyun are in disbelief that Juwon had lost.
Chapter 175
Donald tells Changhui that it’s going to become rowdy downstairs but if they can come to an agreement, there will not be any problems. Changhui is certain about Juwon’s victory, but he isn’t certain about Doyun and Giju.
Chapter 178
The Union and Cheongang executives are shocked to see a knife stabbed into the desk and both Donald and Changhui sporting bloody cuts across their foreheads. Doyun wants to attack Donald, but Changhui stops him.
Chapter 202
Changhui says Master Arcade is the only building fully under Mr. Jang’s name and tells Doyun to keep an eye on him and to make sure Mr. Jang doesn't get any funny ideas. Doyun agrees to do so and leaves Changhui’s office. Doyun wonders just what happened during the fight in Changhui’s office that caused Changhui to agree to a deal. One of Doyun’s underlings informs him of Giju’s loss against Wolf in Seongsan, and that Giju went to the countryside to buy some time to recover.
Chapter 211
After Doyun loses against Gray Yeon (Yeon Sieun in the Korean version) but Gray allows him to save face, he realizes that Donald did the same thing to Changhui, meaning Changhui had lost but Donald had allowed him to save face.
Chapter 212
Juwon is under immense pressure. He and Changhui have built Cheongang together, and his loss, at minimum, feels like it brings into question Cheongang’s strength. Worst case scenario, he is afraid it might even lead to its downfall.
Chapter 214
Changhui notes that Juwon didn’t come back after fighting Ben Park (Park Humin in the Korean version). He knows whenever there is trouble, Juwon relies on Janghyeok not him, so Juwon probably went to see Janghyeok. He knows the last two fights are difficult for Juwon to accept.
Fanon[]
Fans ship them as friends because unlike the Union who rules by fear and overwhelming strength, Cheongang has actual loyal followers. Juwon, despite losing to Changhui in the past, accepted Changhui as the leader of the second generation of Cheongang. Doyun joined Cheongang because of the deep respect he holds for Juwon. Despite Doyun having a rivalry with Giju, he doesn't let it get in the way of fulfilling Cheongang's missions. When Juwon is injured badly from his fight against Jake, Giju helps him up even though he is also injured.
