Ji Bros is the family ship between Ji Gwangseok and Ji Hakho from the Weak Hero fandom.
Canon[]
Kenny Ji (Ji Gwangseok in the Korean version) and Jake Ji (Ji Hakho in the Korean version) are biological brothers. Kenny is the elder of the two and Jake looks up to him. They get along really well and look out for each other.
Chapter 102
A flashback shows Kenny at a field with Jake sitting by watching him. Kenny bounces the soccer ball on his leg before kicking it and hitting the goalpost. Jake remarks that Kenny's soccer skills had gotten rusty, but Kenny claims that he was aiming at the goalpost. Kenny tells Jake that he'll focus his all on soccer and that Jake should focus on his studies too. Jake says he'll always listen to Kenny and jokes that Kenny's shooting got worse and his dream of becoming the next Beckham is long gone.
At Daehyeon Middle School, Jake discusses Two Piece with Dean. As they leave the classroom, Eugene and his deskmate comment how peaceful school is after Jake took over. The deskmate wonders if Jake will join the Union but Eugene says Jake isn't like that. Timothy overhears and thinks they're clueless because Jake would never join the Union and will follow Kenny instead.
Later that night, Kenny attends a Manwol assembly. A flashback within the flashback shows that Changyeon Lee, the leader of Manwol, had heard that Kenny's brother was the head of Daehyeon Middle School, and that Changyeon wanted Kenny to recruit Jake. Kenny doesn't want to drag Jake into Manwol's shitty mess. The flashback within the flashback ends. Changyeon congrats Kenny from seceding from Manwol and that they'll go by the rules. He orders the other members to grab Kenny and Changyeon swings the wooden beam down onto Kenny's ankle, causing Kenny to scream in pain as blood soaks through his pants leg. Kenny is beaten up even further.
Jake visits Kenny at the hospital, who is unconscious and severely injured. The doctor tells Jake that Kenny won't be able to continue soccer. Even after Kenny recovers and starts to walk again, it'll be dangerous for him to run. The doctor also states that Kenny's leg is in a very critical condition and may need another operation. This incident causes Jake to want to go after Manwol, but Dean points out that it's suicidal to go alone. Jake goes to the Union to get Donald Na's help.
Chapter 103
When the Union attacks Manwol, Changyeon recognizes Jake as Kenny's little brother. Jake, filled with rage, declares both Changyeon and Manwol to be gone without a single trace as he proceeds to beat Changyeon up.
Chapter 125
As Jake fights Ben Park (Park Humin in the Korean version), he recalls Kenny telling him, “Men walk alone. Don’t rely on anyone. Be strong. The only person you can depend on is yourself.”
Chapter 172
Juwon Lee mentions to Jake that he used to respect Changyeon Lee until he saw how Changyeon couldn't even take care of one bad apple AKA Kenny. He says that it is the leader's job to make sure that there is no flaw. Jake angrily asks if Juwon is referring to Kenny and Juwon says that Kenny was Manwol's only flaw. Juwon's insults about Kenny makes Jake angrier.
Chapter 267
Kenny is shown sleeping in the van while Jake says goodbye to his friends. It is unknown where he and Jake are going to, but it is away from Yeongdeungpo. Kenny has crutches next to him, indicating that he is now able to walk with them.

Fanon[]
People write about the strong brotherly bond between Jake and Kenny. Kenny didn't want to recruit Jake into a gang to the point where he knew going against Manwol would result in a brutal beating. Jake avenged his brother by joining a different gang, the Union, to take down Manwol. Some people depict Kenny as feeling extremely guilty about Jake joining the Union because he never wanted Jake to become a delinquent like him.
