Comment by Zarathustra on Rheia

@Rheia "his subordinates followed Ian because Jamie Lee is trying to harm him."
They discovered Jamie's plan now, that's why Chiwoon assigned protection, but in the first chapters we saw that Tj did it to keep tabs on what Ian was doing. We even saw Tj sitting in his car spying on him. If he had protection back then, they would have seen him meeting with the fake ID guy.

"thanks to TJ’s influence no one in the gang touches Ian, although they consider him a traitor."
The only one that considers Ian a traitor is Yangji, we've seen how the other members (Jason, Chiwoon, Daniel, etc) not only respect Ian, they care about him.

"The hired men were supposed to just restrain him, but a fight broke out"
Don't you think a guy like Ian would put up a fight? How do you think they were supposed to restrain him?

"TJ's parents died in a car accident, so of course he was scared that his loved one could repeat their fate."
Ian had been riding as an amateur for quite some time but Tj only decided to stop him when Ian had the chance to LEAVE and become a pro. If he was afraid of Ian riding he wouldn't be building a garage for motorcycles in the new house.

"Prison is obviously the only way to prevent a kind person like Ian from doing something to himself out of unbearable guilt."
Tj never respected Ian's decision to leave the gang, he wants him back in, even though he saw how unbearable it was for him.

"We see that Tj does not restrict Ian's freedom and gives him easy work so that Ian has money to live on."
Hiring thugs to forcefully stop him from competing, sending him to prison, putting an enormous debt on him, etc, is restricting his freedom.
Ian has no money to live on because he's killing himself to pay the debt Tj put on him.

@Zarathustra I have a feeling you just don't understand what you read. Let's start (again) with the fact that even the author constantly states that TJ is not a villain, but for some reason, pathetic haters continue to distort the plot and accuse him of all mortal sins.
Jason had been sick for a long time, so TJ understood that Jamie was scheming behind their backs. Someone had already prepared an attack on Ian before, and as we know, the culprit has not yet been caught, so there are clearly reasons to protect him. And where did the information come from that TJ was spying on Ian in the car? He just drove up to his house and saw him talking to some guy, so he decided not to interfere and left. But even if your words were true, it would be understandable, because TJ really, with the help of his subordinates, checks the environment of his loved one, and as we see, this is the right decision, because Jamie is trying to get to Ian through Chris and Joseph.
Now about the traitor, accident, car accident, etc. Jason is really worried about Ian, because he raised this child. Daniel himself is not a model of decency and even cheats on his wife with another guy, so why should he care about some kind of betrayal? Chiwoon clearly guesses about his boss’s feelings, but even he does not deny Yangi’s accusations (“I’m not afraid of this traitor”), so everyone can come to the conclusion what the gang thinks about Ian.
I can’t know what “restrain” meant, but it definitely wasn’t physical injury, and those guys admitted that they didn’t expect such an outcome (“Him falling from the second floor really was an accident”). Most likely, it was necessary to give him a lot of alcohol, as Ian himself said that when the fight broke out he was very drunk.
