Joo Jaekyung: The Unstoppable Force of Jinx by Mingwa
Joo Jaekyung is a powerhouse in Jinx, a manhwa by Mingwa, renowned for his mixed martial arts prowess and an eccentric belief in a personal jinx: sleeping with someone the night before a fight ensures victory. A world-class fighter, he hires Kim Dan as his physical therapist upon meeting him, intrigued by Dan’s struggles. Though his harsh demeanor softens around Dan and gym mates over time, Jaekyung remains a relentless champion in the ring.
Background
Jaekyung dominates as the light heavyweight champion of MFC’s International Mixed Martial Arts Tournament, earning aliases like “Tyrant” and “The Emperor” for his versatile combat skills. Known for bursting punching bags in training with coach Park Namwook, he’s a striking specialist who favors direct hits over grappling, excelling in moves like the Guillotine Choke. A private figure, Jaekyung skips team parties, preferring solo hobbies—movie nights (especially black-and-white films when sleepless), reading, jogging, and swimming in his private pool. His diet leans toward milk and all meats, fueling his towering physique adorned with tattoos: a Devil mask and Korean pattern on his left arm, a cloud on his right.
Characteristics
In the ring, Jaekyung is a shirtless terror in black shorts and red gloves, dodging strikes with agility and pummeling foes without malice—just a brutal drive to win. Tall and muscular, with cauliflower ears, slicked-back black hair, and soft pink-red lips, he exudes calm indifference outside combat. His preparation defies norms; he dismisses traditional training for his unique pre-match ritual, even shrugging off a hit from Dan as “cotton candy fists.” Rough yet composed, Jaekyung guards his space—showering alone and bringing men to his penthouse to satisfy his jinx. Learning of Dan’s dire circumstances, he’s both repulsed and curious, relocating Dan from poverty’s “stench” while questioning his own bluntness.
Aspirations
Jaekyung’s focus is unwavering: perfect his craft and secure wins. He insists on privacy during training but welcomes Dan’s massages, casually shedding his shirt under the guise of sweat-soaked clothes. Open about his jinx, he probes Dan’s thoughts on his costly midnight therapy sessions—$5,000 to ensure victory. Calling Dan before matches, Jaekyung values the ritual’s thrill, amused when Dan departs post-session. His ambition blends dominance in the arena with a strange reliance on Dan, revealing a complex mix of control and curiosity.
