In the effort of aiding Hwoarang, Jin beats up two of the soldiers. Before a word could be spoken between the two, one of Hwoarang's commanders from the Korean military come and he is surrounded by several soldiers. In the next part of the scene, both Jin and Hwoarang are panting in exhaustion after the fight. The screen turns white and the fight commences. Jin states that there is no reason to fight Hwoarang, however, states that he does. When Jin asks what Hwoarang wanted, Hwoarang replies that he didn't get a chance to fight him during the Tournament, so he was going to fight Jin here. Hwoarang walks into the Parking Area where Jin is waiting.
He would defeat Jin, Heihachi Mishima, and anyone else who dared to challenge him to claim the Mishima Zaibatsu.įilled with excitement he hasn't felt in years, Hwoarang slipped out from the military base and headed for the Tournament. One day, Hwoarang found out about the announcement of the next Tournament. These longings could not be quelled by the military. He often thought of one fight in particular - the fight against Jin Kazama. He longingly recalled the days of hustling money in street fights and the rush he experienced from hand-to-hand combat. Hwoarang was uninterested in military life and felt a strange emptiness within him. Although his successes in various missions were highly regarded along with his prowess at Tae Kwon Do and combat techniques, his penchant for disobeying rules and orders gave his senior officers more than a few headaches. Hwoarang was drafted into the military back in his homeland of Korea and was assigned to a special operations division. Hwoarang smiles as he trembles with excitement.
When he turns to face Jin, Jin has already begun his transformation (into Devil Jin) and leaps out of the warehouse. As a distraction, Hwoarang throws the trophy into the area, and then beats up the Tekken Force. Jin is then cornered by the Tekken Force. He is ready to toss it away when he notices Jin being pursued by the Tekken Force. Hwoarang is sitting down in an alleyway, holding a trophy (that is a gold version of Heihachi's head). He will participate in the tournament, beat Jin Kazama and seek revenge against the God of Fighting: Ogre. Then, terrible news - Ogre claims Baek as yet another victim. Sickened at the thought of having to tell his teacher, Baek, the bad news, Hwoarang vows to practice every day to guarantee that it would never happen again. He hangs his head in disbelief at the first blemish in his perfect career. Hwoarang embarrassingly can only manage a draw.
Hwoarang talks them into his game and is matched against Jin. One day, members of the Mishima Group came to town, including among them Jin Kazama. His opponents soon realize they're the real fools when Hwoarang soundly beats each and every one of them. Hwoarang escalates the odds against him and makes what appears to be a foolish wager. They manipulate the odds by concealing their true strength. As part of what's called a fraud team, he and other members pick fights for money. He wants to redeem himself by taking revenge against Ogre and defeating Jin Kazama (Hwoarang failed to beat Jin in a previous fight.).Ī student of Tae Kwon Do who works out at Baek Doo San's dojo, Hwoarang makes a lot of money through dishonest gambling wagers. Hwoarang entered this Tournament after Ogre attacked his mentor Baek, who Hwoarang respects greatly.
