what's with the children killing their parents in this ... It's always the sons

11. War Begins and the Hunt for Workers (Chapters 584–609)

The conflict escalates again.

The characters are now dealing with the consequences of the Workers organization and the people behind it.

The story begins tying together several previously separate mysteries:

Charles Choi’s history. ( Glad he died)
The relationship between the previous generation and the current fighters.
The origins of the major criminal organizations.
The importance of Gapryong Kim.
The connections between the Yamazaki family and Gun.

This is where the story starts shifting its attention toward the past.

12. Gapryong Kim’s history (Chapters 610–628)  ( MR. WOMANIZER)

This is the storyline that brings us to chapter 628.

The story focuses on the previous generation and the legendary Fist Gang.

Gapryong Kim( He loved all women equally, didn't have a type lol)

Gapryong was one of the most important figures in the previous generation.

He was the leader of the Fist Gang, which included several incredibly powerful individuals.

The important members include:

Gapryong Kim.( He is an idiot lmao)
Elite (Charles Choi). ( kmt)
Jinyoung Park.( Why did you have to die?)
Tom Lee. ( Love that he stayed loyal to the woman he liked)
Baekho Kwon. ( Such a big guy sml)

Their history is essential to understanding the current generation.

The Yamazaki family ( This family invented crack)

We learn more about the Yamazaki clan and its leader, Shingen Yamazaki.

The conflict between the Fist Gang and the Yamazaki family becomes a major part of the flashback.

Shingen is an extremely powerful figure, and his connection to Gun’s family makes this history especially significant.

Chapter 628 — What happens?

The chapter continues the historical conflict.

Bang Ho confronts Shingen, but Mushashi intervenes.

Bang Ho is overwhelmed, yet repeatedly gets back up because he is trying to buy time for Gapryong and the others to escape.

Shingen eventually kills him. ( took his head off.... damn)

The story then returns to the present, where Minsik is telling Jake about these events.

We also see Tom, Jinyoung and Elite escaping from the Yamazaki.

Baekho is carrying an unconscious Gapryong when the Yamazaki forces catch up with him near a cliff.

The chapter ends with Gapryong falling from the cliff.

This is an important moment because the flashback is revealing just how desperate the Fist Gang’s situation was during its confrontation with the Yamazaki. Telegram +1

The biggest mysteries still developing by chapter 628

These are the major questions the story has been building toward:

- Daniel's two bodies- Their origin and connection remain central to the story.

- Gapryong's death- His past, enemies and final moments are still being explored.

- Charles Choi's past( Bastard!!)- His relationship with the Fist Gang and the Yamazaki is crucial.

- Jinyoung Park ( damn it!!!) - His history with Gapyrong and Daniel's family is important.

- Gun's bloodline ( When is this man planning to leave his comfort zone????) - His connection to Shingen and the Yamazaki clan explains much about him.

- James Lee ( Handsome bastard)- His real identity, past and relationship with Charles( Who is this ass again) remain significant

- Gitae Kim( I can't even hate him bro even thou he killed my uncle ... A child of rape) - His connection to Gapryong and Jake makes him extremely important. ( I blame the mother for giving birth to a beast , she's from the Yamazaki's clan ( a clan of demons) )

4. James Lee and the First Generation (Chapters 354–410)

Now we get introduced to the history of the generations of fighters.

James Lee is revealed to be one of the most important figures in Lookism.

He is associated with the destruction of the First Generation and the defeat of its strongest fighters, known as the Kings.

The First Generation was an era dominated by regional kings who controlled different territories.

Some important figures include:

Taesoo Ma — King of Ansan.
Gongseop Ji — King of Daegu.
Jichang Kwak — King of Seoul.
Seongji Yuk — King of Cheonliang.

James Lee’s history is especially important because it connects to Charles Choi and the mysterious events surrounding the creation of the current criminal world.

The kidnapping of Daniel

Daniel is kidnapped by Workers, which leads to another major conflict.

The story also begins exploring the relationship between the different crews and the people who control them from behind the scenes.

The Hunt for Hostel

The crews begin clashing more directly, and the growing threat of Workers becomes impossible to ignore.

5. The Hunt for Big Deal (Chapters 411–429)

This is one of the biggest turning points.

Workers targets Big Deal, and Jake is forced to defend his people.

The conflict becomes personal because Big Deal is not just a gang to Jake. It is his family.

We also get more of Sinu Han’s importance to Big Deal.( Sinuuuuu!!!)

Sinu previously sacrificed himself for the people he cared about, and his return becomes a significant moment.

The conflict brings together several important fighters and forces the four major crews to reconsider their relationships.

Eventually, the four crews begin moving toward a common enemy.

6. The First Affiliate and the truth behind Workers (Chapters 430–481)

The four major crews become increasingly united against Workers.

The First Affiliate reveals some of the organization’s darkest secrets.

This period also develops Daniel’s fighting abilities considerably.

We see more of his Ultra Instinct (UI), which makes him one of the most dangerous fighters when it activates.

Other major developments include:

More revelations about Charles Choi.
Eugene’s growing desperation to maintain control.
The connections between Workers and powerful individuals.
The mystery surrounding Daniel’s two bodies becoming increasingly important.
Gun and Goo’s complicated relationship with Charles Choi.
Charles Choi( He died so easily)

Charles is gradually revealed to be far more than a businessman.

He has connections to the previous generation, the creation of the four crews and several powerful fighters.

His history becomes one of the central mysteries of Lookism.

2. The God Dog, Runaway Fam and Hostel stories (Chapters 121–286)

This is where Lookism starts expanding beyond Daniel’s personal story.

Johan Seong and God Dog ( He needs to be shown more!!!!)

Johan is introduced as an exceptionally talented fighter with a tragic background.

His mother loses her eyesight, and Johan becomes involved in the criminal world while trying to find ways to help her.

He eventually becomes the leader of God Dog, one of the major crews.

Eli Jang and Hostel( I miss him )

Eli has one of the most emotional backstories in the series.

He grows up without a stable family and eventually meets Heather, who becomes extremely important to him.

Together, they become connected to the Hostel organization.

Hostel is built around the idea of creating a family for abandoned and neglected children.

However, the organization becomes divided into different branches, and Eli eventually has to confront the consequences of his past.

Jake Kim( Jakeyboo)

Jake is introduced as the leader of Big Deal.

Unlike many other gang leaders, Jake genuinely cares about his people and considers Big Deal his family.

His story also introduces the mystery surrounding his father, Gapryong Kim.

Jiho Park

Jiho’s transformation is another major development.

He begins as someone who is bullied and struggles with his insecurities. His experiences gradually push him toward a much darker personality.

His storyline demonstrates how far someone can fall when resentment and desperation take over.

3. The Four Major Crews and Workers (Chapters 287–393)

This is where the series changes considerably.

Daniel discovers that the Four Major Crews are connected to a much larger organization called Workers.

The four major crews are:

God Dog — Johan Seong.
Big Deal — Jake Kim.
Hostel — Eli Jang.
The remaining crew structure becomes increasingly connected to the larger Workers conflict.

Workers is a criminal organization with several affiliates, each operating different businesses.

The four affiliates become major storylines:

Fourth Affiliate: Daniel infiltrates Workers and discovers the disturbing activities taking place behind its business operations.
Third Affiliate: The story explores Workers’ exploitation and illegal entertainment businesses.
Second Affiliate: Things become even more dangerous as Daniel and the others uncover more of the organization’s operations.
First Affiliate: The most important affiliate, with connections to some of the most powerful people in the series.
Gun and Goo(I love BOTH!!)

Two characters become particularly important:

Gun Park: A terrifyingly powerful fighter who trains Daniel and has connections to the four crews.
Goo Kim: Gun’s rival and another exceptionally dangerous fighter.

Gun takes an interest in Daniel’s potential and eventually trains him.

Daniel begins developing into a serious fighter rather than simply relying on his second body’s natural physical abilities.

The Jake Kim arc(jAKEY)

We learn much more about Jake’s relationship with Big Deal and his father, Gapryong Kim.

Jake’s motivations become clearer, and his determination to protect Big Deal becomes one of the central emotional elements of the story.

We also learn more about Samuel Seo, who has his own complicated relationship with Big Deal and Jake.

First, the biggest thing to understand about Lookism is that it starts as a story about appearance, bullying and discrimination, but gradually transforms into a massive story about gangs, organized crime, martial arts, family secrets and the hidden history of Korea’s strongest fighters.

1. Daniel Park and the two bodies (Chapters 1–120)

The story begins with Daniel Park, an overweight, unpopular student who is constantly bullied because of his appearance.

His life changes when he moves to Seoul and discovers something extraordinary: he has two bodies.

His original body is still the one he was born with.
His second body is extremely handsome, physically gifted and attractive to practically everyone.

The strange part is that when one body sleeps, he wakes up in the other.

Daniel begins living two separate lives, experiencing how differently society treats people based on their appearance.

He meets Zack Lee, Vasco, Jay Hong and others at J High School.

Initially, the story focuses on:

Bullying and discrimination.
Friendship and loyalty.
School life and social hierarchies.
Daniel learning to stand up for himself.
The mystery behind his two bodies.

However, things gradually become darker.

Daniel discovers that Seoul has an underground world involving illegal businesses, gangs and people exploiting others.

He also encounters Logan Lee, one of his biggest enemies.

bro I just wrote a good a*s recap and the sh*t disappeared… I’m sorry when I get another time I’ll type it if you still want it 

Vin Jin’s dad

I never thought Gapryong Kim was such a brainless idiot in a funny way 😂😂… He’s such a comedian when it used to show a lil bit of him I thought he was such a serious intelligent individual but I guess not 

No wonder Charles help plotted to take out the GOAT😂😂😂Look what you did to Charles Gapryong 

I’m sorry but this n*a has a whole a*s building between his thighs

We?!!!! Waiting for WHAT?!!!!! It’s like fitting a whole castle into a single car space .. We?!! Waiting for how long????! … I’m scared

Big Daniel look so much like Uncle Jinyoung .. And Daniel’s mother was so beautiful.. I wonder if she got like that because of stress and hard work… Aigooo Poor thing

Just wanted to say you’re doing an amazing job, author-nim. Don’t pay too much attention to the haters — they complain every chapter and still come back to read the next one 😂. Keep doing what you do best because the story is entertaining as hell. Also, I think y’all forgot to add ‘superpowers’ to the genres because these fight scenes are NOT normal . I know it’s fictional, but demolishing a whole church in one punch is crazy lol. Keep up the great work, author-nim!
