The Breaker/Characters

Shi Woon Lee


Shi Woon is our loser protagonist, an Ordinary High School Student who is constantly picked on by bullies. He believes his life is so miserable, that he decides to end it all... until he is saved by Chun Woo, the weird new teacher and secret martial artist. From then on he is determined to learn to fight and stand up for himself, going so far to jump off a bridge to convince Chun Woo that he is serious. So far he has impressed everyone with his progress and character growth.


 * Anti-Hero: Type I in the beginning. He quickly grew out of it.
 * The Apprentice
 * Audience Surrogate
 * : At the end of Part I, he becomes . He's reasonably shocked.
 * Awesomeness By Analysis: Possibly.
 * Badass: In several ways.
 * Badass Adorable
 * : After he is still able to punch  who now has murim techniques. He also beat up a Mook of the SUC before that.
 * Berserk Button: In later chapters, anyone threatening his friends.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Even if you try to kill him, he will try to save you. Just remember that he is strong enough to easily punch through concrete walls.
 * Bishounen/Cute Shotaro Boy: As the series goes on.
 * Butt Monkey: Everyone just seems out to get Shi Woon, poor kid.
 * Character Development: He starts out as a kid so driven to the edge by bullying that he is about to sell out his childhood friend simply to avoid another beating.
 * Clueless Chick Magnet: Let's see here, Saehee, Sosul, Jinee, and Sera.
 * Oblivious to Love: Completely oblivious to all the girls who have fallen for him.
 * Single Woman Seeks Good Man: And here's why.
 * Cute Bruiser
 * Dangerous Forbidden Technique:
 * is a more direct example.
 * The Determinator: You have to give Shi Woon some credit. He mentally defeated a martial arts prodigy just by his utter refusal to go down..
 * Distressed Dude: Two times so far, once in The Breaker and once in New Waves. Played for VERY serious drama both times. At the climax of The Breaker, the Chief of the Alliance grabs him by the throat at the last minute and threatens to kill him should Shun Woo Han  The second time, he's abducted by the man who   so that
 * Heroic Spirit
 * Honor Before Reason: While he's genuinely beloved by his friends for his kindness, Shi Woon needs to be a little more suspicious of people.
 * Fan Disservice:
 * Flash Step: See below.
 * Instant Expert, surprisingly enough. The Breaking Spirit Strike was supposed to take him a few months to master, but he managed to complete it on the same day Chun Woo showed it to him. The same thing happened with the Foot techniques.
 * The Foot techniques is an even bigger example because while Chun Woo explained how the Spirit Breaking Strike was supposed to work, he only showed Shi Woon the foot techniques once, and they had a very short discussion about it. Shi Woon also didn't practice the Foot techniques unlike the Strike.
 * Possibly justified. The Gu Eum is a line of martial artist, all of whom are said to have poor circulation, but if that problem was corrected they would be ungodly strong. Sounds just like Shi Woon's physical condition before he took the Ilwollsindan.
 * Lightning Bruiser: In addition to his Spirit Breaker, he now even knows foot technique.
 * Made of Iron: Shi Woon gets special mention; he takes hits like none other.
 * Magnetic Hero: Not at first but slowly becomes this.
 * Martial Pacifist: His motivation.
 * The McCoy: The fact that he still cares for people who try to kill him annoys his Cynical Mentor greatly. There's also how he handled the whole Sosul deal.
 * Megaton Punch: His M.O. after he Took a Level In Badass.
 * Morality Chain: For Chun Woo.
 * Mr. Fanservice: His looks become better and better.
 * Nice Guy: He's a really sweet kid.
 * No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Winds up getting one of these in nearly every fight he actively participates in.
 * Ordinary High School Student: Starts out as one.
 * Real Men Wear Pink: An amazing cook.
 * Rookie Red Ranger
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Shi Woon or Shioon?
 * Super Toughness: He takes amazing amounts of punishment, even when he's just a novice, to the point that literally every character he fights comments on how indomitable his spirit must be. Several times he stands up and demands they keep fighting while technically unconscious or without a pulse.
 * Supreme Chef: Jinie thinks so.
 * Super Serum:
 * The Call Knows Where You Live: Why he's still being attacked
 * The Messiah
 * Thou Shalt Not Kill
 * Took a Level In Badass
 * We Can Rule Together: Offered the or-you'll-be-horrifically-killed variety in chapter 71 of New Waves.
 * With My Hands Tied: His right arm is in a sling after injuring himself, still he manages to land a decisive punch on, and beat the crap out of other S.U.C members.
 * When All You Have Is a Hammer
 * Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Arguably. He didn't use his Megaton Punch on Li Jioo, instead, he just tackled her.
 * The Woobie
 * Becomes an Iron Woobie
 * The Messiah
 * Thou Shalt Not Kill
 * Took a Level In Badass
 * We Can Rule Together: Offered the or-you'll-be-horrifically-killed variety in chapter 71 of New Waves.

Chun Woo Han


Shi Woon may be the protagonist, but the plot really revolves around Chun Woo. He is the eccentric, laid-back, and perverted substitute teacher at Shi Woon's school, but in actuality he is the "Goonmoonryung (Nine Arts Dragon)", one of the greatest martial artists in the world and a big player in the complicated politics of the murim-in. His conflict with the leaders of the murim-in eventually spills over into Shi Woon's life...

Shiho


The sexy, mysterious Action Girl who takes a job as a health teacher at Shi Woon's high school. Although she isn't anywhere near Chun Woo's level, she's more than capable of taking care of herself.

 * What Happened to the Mouse?: Seems to have disappeared in New Waves.

The Chief of the Alliance


The current Big Bad, and the target of Chun Woo's revenge for his part in the death of Unwol, Chun Woo's master. He seeks the "Black Heaven and Earth" technique, which was passed down from Unwol to Chun Woo to Shi Woon.

The first disciple of Song Hak Jang clan and widely known as one of the strongest Murim currently around. For most of the Part 1, he is working with the Chief of the Alliance but shows to be more of Anti-Villain and all around level headed individual.


 * Aloof Big Brother: Is seen as this to his two younger more "reckless" younger disciples.
 * Anti-Villain
 * Authority Equals Asskicking: He ranks pretty highly in the Alliance, and then.
 * Knight Templar
 * The Dragon: To the Chief in Part 1.
 * Dynamic Entry:
 * Humble Hero: Despite being one of the strongest fighters in series, he never flaunts it and even is said to have been capable of mastering more titles like Chun Woo to be called Nine arts but out of respect for tradition did not proceed any further the title of Three Arts Dragon.

Hyuk So Chun


The young leader of the Chun-Do-Moon (Heavenly Way School), another prestigious martial arts clan. He is considered a prodigy in martial arts. He ostensibly goes along with the Chief of the Alliance, but he has his own motives.


 * The Ace: Seen as The Ace by everyone else, but may actually be closer to a Broken Ace.
 * A Child Shall Lead Them: Hyuk was chosen to lead his clan when he was very young. He has grown up since then, but is still considered a young prodigy.
 * Anti-Villain: He's a decent person, but just happens to be on the side of the Alliance and therefore opposed to the heroes. Pity.

 * Teen Genius: He's not even old enough to drink alcohol.

Mamungi


The leader of the Torrent Clan, a biker gang (emphasis on "gang"). Most notable for having a freaky face and a strange habit of calling Shi Woon "cutie". He and his gang seem like complete monsters at first, but as of now Mamungi at least. Mamungi is also one of the Supernovas, a group of four martial artists whose significance is yet to be revealed.


 * All Bikers Are Hells Angels: Mamungi and the Torrent Clan. They're not Hell's Angels; they're actually worse.
 * Badass Biker
 * Blood Knight
 * Dissonant Serenity: He's only lost his cool once.
 * Face of a Thug
 * A Father to His Men: to get Chun Woo to leave his subordinates alone.  but that's neither here nor there.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: He has some sort of code of honor.
 * Gonk
 * Graceful Loser
 * Hidden Depths: He's introduced as a scary biker thug, but if the "Supernova" group means anything he's definitely more important in the murim world than we've been shown. There's also the effective and insightful pep talk he gave to Shi Woon at the end of Part 1, where he guessed  motives better than anyone else.
 * Ho Yay: Calling Shi Woon "cutie" is kinda suggestive.
 * Implacable Man
 * Implausible Fencing Powers
 * Kukris Are Kool: Mamungi wields the BFS version. Seriously, look at that thing. You could play baseball with it.
 * Made of Iron: Mamungi also gets special mention, for the ridiculous levels of abuse he took during his first appearance.
 * Overly Long Tongue
 * Red Baron: His "Supernova" nick name is Northern Black Star.
 * Slasher Smile
 * Red Baron: His "Supernova" nick name is Northern Black Star.
 * Slasher Smile

Yi Gyu-Bum


Sun Woo's retainer, introduced near the end of Part I as an antagonist. However, he switches sides and gains much more prominence in New Waves as an ally of Shi Woon. Like Mamungi, he is one of the four "Supernova".


 * Battle Butler: Played with in that he initially appears to be loyal to the Alliance, but it's revealed that he's the retainer for the Sun Woo family. As soon as he finds out about what happened to Sosul, he switches sides.
 * Eyes Always Shut: Unless he is really pissed.
 * Hidden Depths: Initially appears to be just a guard, but like Mamungi he is a "Supernova".
 * Red Baron: His "Supernova" nickname is translated as Southern Red Star
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: He is one of the few Sun Woo authority figures that aren't trying to manipulate or deceive Shi Woon.
 * Sharp-Dressed Man/Badass in a Nice Suit
 * Undying Loyalty: Towards the leader of Sun Woo, whoever that may be--initially Sosul, but now.

Jinie Kwong


First appearing in New Waves, she is the bodyguard assigned to Shi Woon by the Sun Woo Clan. She's pretty and a skilled fighter, and has close connections to the Sun Woo leadership. Unfortunately, she's also loud, harsh, hard to get along with, and hates her new assignment.

 * Ms. Fanservice: May be taking over Shiho's position.

 * Badass: See above.

 * Cosplay Otaku Girl: See below.
 * Covert Pervert: Well, she does somewhat casually speaks of wearing Naked Apron and that teacher outfit (see Hot Teacher)? Totally unnecessary, but she did it anyways.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Seems to be either this or an Emotionless Girl. Her expression has never deviated far from that blank stare, even when telling Shi Woon that she would run around in only an apron if the Sun Woo Clan wanted her to.
 * Emotionless Girl/The Stoic: Even Jinie calls her that, albeit with harsher language.
 * Heir to the Dojo
 * Hot Teacher: When she tries to explain the nature of the Murim society to Shi Woo. Technically more of a Sexy Mentor, but given the her position at the school along with the last page from Chapter 37 she should count.
