On the other hand, the story also featured Jung Ki Chul's life as a club DJ turned gang boss.
After getting an offer to work under the leader of the Gangnam Mafia, he raised his plans for how to get more income for the group. Unfortunately, the leader didn't like the idea and turned down Ki Chul's plan.
Knowing that he could make a name for himself, he created his group, joined by his close friends whom he met at the school. Along with him is his best friend, Kwon Tae Ho, who also acts as his right hand man.
Although he succeeded in taking over Gangnam, this caused the death of his best friend after he was killed in the encounter.
Fueled by revenge, he managed to turn things around and is now considered one of the biggest suppliers of drugs in Korea.
Due to his huge drug activities, the police need to step up their game and catch Jung Ki Chul red-handed.
The police needed a highly skilled person who would do the job of infiltrating Ki Chul's group.
The job was offered to Park Joon Mo with a promise of a promotion and a huge allowance.
Initially, he wanted to turn down the offer because he knew that the plan would be quite challenging. Instead, he accepted this with a condition of moving two ranks up.
In the last scene, he finally accepted and became Kwon Tae Ho's cousin.
At the cafe, where Joon Mo looks for Ji Chul, the villain saw the watch that was owned by Kwon Tae Ho when he died.
Seeing this only made him intrigued regarding his possible connection with Kwon Tae Ho.
