Description
Commission: gintuk83"What good is a martial art if it's bogged down in etiquette?"
Name: Chang Se-hee
Age: 19
Nationality: South Korea
Fighting style: Taekwondo
Likes: Taekwondo, fighting, winning, thrill
Dislikes: Her father, brother, and losing,
Se-hee was born into a prestigious taekwondo family in South Korea. Her father was a big shot who held key positions in the taekwondo association and made it his mission to protect the honor of the sport.
As such, he made it mandatory for his children to train in Taekwondo, and Chang Se-hee was no exception. However, she was trained at a lower level than her brothers. This was because his father planned to pass on the family's Taekwondo school to his brothers. The reason her father taught her taekwondo was simply for her health.
But ironically, it was Se-hee who was the most talented of the children. Unlike her brothers, she genuinely loved taekwondo and showed an amazing talent for picking up difficult and tricky techniques without much difficulty. She won a gold medal at her first competition, and then a gold medal at the next.
This was reason enough to celebrate. Her father was pleased with her performance and even seriously considered her as his successor.
That is, if she was a kind person.
Her seventh match changed her father's mind. There were only 10 seconds left in the match. And then he saw it.
Her opponent had lost the will to fight. But she was crushing her opponent with all her might.
There was no respect for her opponent as she attacked mercilessly.
Eventually, the referee restrained her.
There was no guilt in her expression as she watched her opponent collapse in a heap of vomit.
There was only an evil look that sneered at the weak.
Her taekwondo was far from proper sportsmanship, as she had no respect for her opponent and only wanted to hit him.
"Why don't you respect your opponent?"
"I was just trying to do my best in the match."
"He lost the will to fight."
"But I still had time to attack him."
"Do you know that he was taken to the hospital?"
"If he was stronger than me, that wouldn't have happened."
Se-hee asked a question he'd been harboring for a long time.
"Dad, taekwondo is a martial art, and martial arts are meant to fight and win. Why do you value respect more than winning and losing?"
That was it.
The father regretted teaching Se-hee taekwondo.
He banned taekwondo and confiscated her uniform, but he couldn't take away the skills she had learned.
Her rebellion against her father soon led to street fights. She continued to fight at school and in the alleyways, sometimes getting hurt, but with a look of joy on her face.
She found liberation in the rough and tumble of fighting, where she wasn't bound by rules.
The coolness of her fingertips was a stimulus she would never forget.
She laughed at her father's exasperated expression, feeling both joy and thrill.
"You have the wrong idea, father. What good is a martial art bound by manners?"
She said, putting on a uniform of her own design.
"I'm going to live my life as a fighter, not a boring athlete bound by rules and etiquette. I'm going to fight more than I do now, I'm going to be stronger, and I think that's the true martial arts path."
- TMI -
One of her brothers is a businessman.
He provides a secret training ground for his sister, who rebels against her father, and supports her financially.
Se-hee likes his help, but dislikes him personally.
She just sees it as a partnership.
