(1)The Korean gangster movie is Ma Dong-seok from “War of Villains”.
(2)There are still young and strong people in front of them, but the real world of gangsters does not seem to be like that. Last week, the body of a real estate agent in his 50s was found in a parking lot in Yangju, Gyeonggi-do, with bruises all over his face and legs broken. He was kidnapped, beaten, and murdered by four members of the international PJ gang, three of whom were in their 60s.Two of his men, who allegedly kidnapped a 60-year-old victim for money, assaulted and killed a 60-year-old victim, helped kidnap a 61-year-old and a 65-year-old brother, 58-year-old.
(3)The international PJ faction was formed in Gwangju in the 1980s and was named because it was based on the international billiard hall and PJ music listening room. The actual model of the gangster in the drama “Sand Clock” was this organization. Voodoo Mok, who joined the international PJ faction in 1990, has been a gangster for 30 years.It’s amazing that people in their 60s have the strength to beat people to death and even at that age, they still maintain this job without retirement age, and they have committed violent crimes by mobilizing their men who are already over 60 years old.
(4)In 2002, police officer Park Geon-chan said in a paper analyzing the actual situation of organized crime between Korea and Japan, “Unlike Japan’s Yakuza, which is aging, Korean gangs are dominated by young people, so stronger crackdowns are needed.”However, Korea’s population structure has aged rapidly enough to overtake Japan, and the wave of gangsters has also swept through the world. Last year, Democratic Party lawmaker So Byung-hoon’s data showed a side of this trend: 19,000 people were arrested in certain areas over the past two years, 48 were in their 50s or older.If you are over 60s and older, it is not much different from the aging of Japanese yakuza. If you keep going like this, the kidnapping and murder of international PJ gangsters in their 60s, like the grenade attack of grandfather yakuza, will be a symbol of the age of gangsters.
