- Born in a private wing in a hospital in Seoul, Jung Shin was the unplanned child. He was his parent's third child, though they'd wanted to stop at two. He has two older siblings, an older brother by the name of Myung Shin and an older sister, Shin Hye. Each of his siblings has a purpose. Myung Shin will one day take over the Gandul, following their father's footsteps and leading. Shin Hye will be one day married off to some wealthy business leader or gang lord to further expand the iron grip that the Gandul has on Korean society. Jung Shin was always just there. "I have no purpose for you," This was what his father told him often when he was a child.
Jung Shin would like to imagine that there is love between his parents and that was how he was born, they loved each other so much that they ended up having a third child. He knows that isn't the case, though. He is the result of a night spent with too much alcohol between his parents. Everyone in the Gandul is aware that the marriage between Jung Shin's father and mother was nothing more than a political agreement. Jung Shin's mother is the daughter of a wealthy business CEO, married to Jung Shin's father as a bargaining method - gaining the protection of the Gandul. Jung Shin's mother is beautiful, compassionate, and a little bit of sunlight in the otherwise dark Gandul. But there was no love in her marriage. Jung Shin's father had no qualms about going out and sleeping around with other beautiful women, now having several other children from other women that he refuses to acknowledge. Jung Shin treats the existence of these "siblings" as a form of reassurance in his existence, at least his father acknowledges him more than these poor kids.
Though he was the child that wasn't supposed to exist, that his father had no purpose for, his father found something to do with him. From the time he could walk, Jung Shin was placed in the dojang to begin living the life of a child born in the gandul. He was given the same training regiment as his older brother and was educated in quite literally dozens of martial arts. Taekwondo, akido, hapkido, qigong, borayaku, taekkyeon, kenjutsu, intonjutsu, kumdo, and hwarangdo - just to name a few. It is no exaggeration to say that Jung Shin knows a dozen different ways to kill or seriously maim an individual, both with weapons or with his bare hands. His father had a lot of lessons to teach him about life in the Gandul. Show no remorse, don't turn your back to an enemy, don't let an enemy best you.
Where his father taught him to be intimidating, his mother taught him compassion. Though Jung Shin wasn't planned, he quickly became his mother's favorite. She would always slip him extra portions of food, or would be extra kind to him after he received a substantial beating in the dojang. Jung Shin received his temper and violent tendencies from his father, but his compassion from his mother. She taught him the opposite from his father - who encouraged hurting anyone who even looked at you the wrong way. His mother taught him to only hurt those who deserved it, those who hurt others. It was these lessons that was essentially cause for Jung Shin to develop a bit of a hero complex.
He was just as violent as his father wanted him to be, but only to those he felt deserved it. And the people that deserved it usually came in the form of bullies, those that picked on those that were smaller than them. So because they picked on those smaller than them, Jung Shin picked on them. He was often being hauled off to the administration office at school because he would "start" fights and beat other kids up, the teachers at school always seeming to miss the fact that he almost always was saving other kids from getting the s**t beat out of them. This explains how Jung Shin ended up in class 1-S. He came across a group of bigger kids pushing around one of the nerdier kids and he lost it. One of the group of three kids was hospitalized due to the injuries he received from the beating, the other two simply missed school for several weeks while they healed.
While Jung Shin's violent ways always received a pat on the back from his father, Jung Shin's mother disapproved - even though she was the one who taught him to protect people in the first place. His mother's idea of punishment is scarier than even that of his fathers. He would rather be beaten by his father than the punishment his mother subjects him to, the woman making him kneel on rice for a good half an hour every time she finds out about another fight or a new person who fell victim to his violent tendencies. This conflict of parenting styles is largely what reflects on his conflicted personality, a mix between his inability to control his temper and his overwhelming compassion for certain individuals.
