Kkangpae
A kkangpae, translated literally, is a gangster or hoodlum in Korean. Gangs primarily operate in bigger cities like Seoul and Busan, though they can be found all across the country as well as other areas of Asia like Japan, China, and Thailand. The South Korean mafia is well known for its ruthless extortion and loan sharking tactics. Since the early 2000s, the South Korean entertainment industry has regularly popularized the South Korean mafia, through films and television.
