Victim ‘disappointed’ by Jessie’s apology
Screen outline: Online community
Why does Koala Professional have ‘KOS’ tattooed on his arm?
With the recent Jesse assault incident, interest in Korean gangs has increased rapidly.
I was curious as to why there were no Korean gangs, and I happened to find it on YouTube.
A video has been uploaded explaining why Korean gangs have fallen, so I’m summarizing it.

burger
There is a pulpit called ‘American Burger’.
During the first generation of Koreans (in the 70s), there was a Korean gang called American Burger (currently in their 70s).
At that time, people with experience in the Korean War and gangsters who immigrated to the United States to fight crime.
There were violent people, but compared to the American Bloods, Crips, Chinese Watching, and Mexican gangs,
It was small in scale (weaker than the Cambodian and Vietnamese gangs from the beginning).
But there was a gang of its own.
Now that there are second, third, and even fourth generation Korean Americans, why are there virtually no Korean gangs?

I can’t be harsh and cruel.
At that time, black/Latinx children grew up in poor environments, including those without parents, drug addicts, ex-convicts, etc., and were active in gangs.
In Cambodia/Vietnam, there were cases where boat people migrated and people who were driven by evil took part in gang activities in order to survive.
On the other hand, Koreans live the American dream and live poorly but want their children to live well.
There were many cases where people who lived together in laundromats or supermarkets gathered together, and compared to other races, they had a higher level of courtesy and education.
Not harsh and cruel

It was difficult for him to expand his influence.
When gangs fight, they have to take revenge and show cruelty, but their nature doesn’t allow them to do that.
When we are attacked, we become part of the group that gets attacked.

The passion of Korean dumplings
The second is the filial piety of the Korean gang

We need a generational change framework.
Koreans can’t change generations.
image text translation
Why? Because I’m so curious

No matter how sloppy and mischievous it is

Even friends who are in the worst stages of life

Basically, in this heart
image text translation
I feel sorry for my parents
image text translation
There is a sadness to it.
image text translation
The kind of behavior that only part-time lecturers enjoy

During the day, at my parents’ laundry.

Helping with cleaning and helping out
image text translation
Since I only make dumplings at night,
image text translation
There was no gang all the time.
I helped my parents with their work during the day and participated in gang activities only at night.
If you commit something illegal and end up in jail
my parents
“How did I raise you?”
Many Koreans gave up gang activities after hearing this one word.
Also, looking at second-generation Korean Americans,
I often see Koreans who stay with me study hard and go to good universities or become successful in business and get a job.
I began to witness firsthand the so-called cases of belonging to mainstream American society.
Seeing people around me succeed through my parents’ dedication + care and my own efforts.
I reflected, “If I try hard, I can belong to mainstream society.”
There are many cases where black gangsters do not see a future and turn to hip hop to escape this dark reality.
I can see that if I put in a little effort (study or work), I can succeed more easily than these people.
quit gang activity
And when you leave a gang, other gangs may cripple you,
“I will kill your entire family.”
etc.
Retaliatory measures are taken
Korean gangsters say, “My parents won’t do it… I don’t want to worry my parents anymore.”
There were many cases where people understood and said, “Okay, since my parents said that, I can’t help it.”
When you say, “I want to study and go to college,” or “I want to work and get a job,”
“
(He wants to improve on his own, but I can’t stop him..)
There were many cases where I said “yes” haha.
※ Regardless of filial piety, the Korean community is centered around the church.
“Cheolsu’s mom! I heard Cheolsu has been doing strange things these days..”
underneath
I went home and got beat up.
Nevertheless, what was the decisive factor that led to the disappearance of the Korean gangsters who maintained their gangs?

LA black neighborhood
They say it’s because of the black neighborhood in LA.
Koreantown has been designated as its own district.

In the name of protection money

The Korean police who were extorting merchants
image text translation
They say everyone just runs away.
image text translation
Gangsters brag about it, collect protection money and catch all kinds of gangsters.
When the LA riots broke out, everyone ran away.
image text translation
Rather, they act as players first.
There were also cases where the name of the store was signed.

At that time, mukshikan dumplings and

Chinese pulpit kids

I protect you with passion.
image text translation
These Korean preachers
image text translation
I usually act so strong
image text translation
I walked around with money in my arms.
image text translation
They say everyone just runs away.
image text translation
The gangsters who usually catch them run away.
at that time
The Marine Comrades Association and Koreans in the reserve unit came together to prevent looting.
(tmi: In the video, it is said to be a black riot, but it is said to be 80% Latino and 20% black)
image text translation
At that time, the anger of the Korean residents was very strong.
Korean residents no longer attend Korean pulpits.

Rather, Geojo became an object of ridicule.

Afterwards, Korean gangs became a group among Korean residents.
Currently, Korean gang members have no power or base.
(LA Koreatown is also maintained by another force)
