Lee Gyoo-Bum is a retainer of the Sun-Woo Clan. He bears the title of Southern Red Star as the strongest member of the Four Supernovas.
Appearance[]
Lee Gyoo-Bum is a man of average size and height. His appearance is at all times impeccable, much like his infamous slicked-back hair, and he is almost always seen sporting a pinstripe suit. Reserved and analytical, Lee Gyoo-Bum has his eyes narrowed most of the times, most likely a byproduct of his cautious attitude. Finally, he is extremely polite and expressive, addressing everyone according to their proper titles, a trait that tends to surprise most that have passed premature judgment over this debonair member of the Sun-Woo Clan.
Personality[]
Gyoo-Bum usually is shown to be a polite person. He would usually be talking to people with honorifics and tend to talk them out of things before resorting fighting. However, if the situation calls for it his demeanor changes and he becomes very angry.
Gyoo-Bum is also very loyal to the Sun-Woo Clan. When it was mentioned that the Martial Art Alliance lost So-Seol he immediately stopped working with them and notified the elders of the Sun-Woo clan. He was willing to change his loyalty to Shi-Woon too when So-Seol ordered him to obey him, for he was then new Sun-Woo leader.
History[]
The Breaker[]
Gyoo-Bum first appears when Han Chun-Woo and Lee Shi-Ho come to the Koa Business Tower. He lets them pass but stops all other Murim-ins from entering.
When Lee Shi-Woon attempts to enter the tower, Gyoo-Bum, uses Ascending Blue Dragon Strike and knocks him out. Shi-Woon blasts the door away and the two engage in a fight which is stopped after the arrival of Ma Mun-Gi, another of the Four Supernovas.
After Mun-Gi reveals that Seonu So-Seol was taken by Goomoonryong, he helps Shi-Woon and uses his security clearance to take him to the floor where Chun-Woo and Shi-Ho were fighting. He also informs the Alliance Chief that because Lady So-Seol is no longer in the alliance's care, he and the rest of the clan's retainers are not obligated to follow the Alliance's orders.
He joins the rest of the spectators on the Koa Business Tower's roof and watches the fight between Chun-Woo and the Alliance's Chief.
A few weeks after the fight, Gyoo-Bum and other members of the Sun-Woo Clan, arrive at Shi-Woon's high school and as per Lady So-Seol's request recognize Shi-Woon as the new Sun-Woo Clan leader.
Lee Gyoo-Bum was a devoted fan of Han Chun-Woo, and along with others tried to reform the Murim. After Goomoonryong disappeared, they became the targets of the Alliance's hatred. His martial arts school was apparently destroyed and he became a wanderer until he joined the Sun-Woo Clan.
The Breaker New Waves[]
The Breaker Eternal Force[]
Interestingly he's often shown to be the person Shi-Woon trusts most in the Sun-Woo clan. After the meeting about Kang Ha-Jae's admission to the clan, Shi-Woon waits for Kwon Ji-Nie and the 2 Elders to leave before sending Kang Ha-Il and Han Dae-San home so that he can talk to Gyoo-Bum alone about suspicious internal activity within the clan.[1]
