"Huh? H..hey? Hold on... I'm still transforming... okay?!" |
Jung Mo-Ri (진모리; "Mori Jung") is a new student in Apricot Flower High School, a school that stratifies based on Charyeok talents, 17 years after RagnarÖk.
Han Dae-Wi and Park Mu-Jin said that he's one of the 'candidate', People who have traits of Jin Mo-Ri and being hunted by the government. [1][2]
It is then revealed by Dan Mo-Ri (the current iteration of the Monkey King) that Jung Mo-Ri doesn't have any connection to either Jin Mo-Ri or Hui Mo-Ri. [3] It's been revealed that he's an artificial man-made clone of Hui Mo-Ri constructed by Sang Man-Duk after he stolen the DNA sample the USA took of Hui Mo-Ri during the consolation match.
Appearance
Originally, Jung Mo-Ri is shown to be a gloomy high schooler with black hair and black and yellow eyes reminiscent of Jin Mo-Ri's original eyes. He was shown to be wearing a brown hoodie and a satchel.
Later, after using the Jung Mo-Ri Original: Thunder Dragon's Kick against Jin Mori/Dan Mori, the power of the Geundoowun changes his hair color to be a light blue with white highlights.
In the epilogue, Jung Mo-Ri is shown to be much older and swaps out his brown hoodie and satchel for a red and black winter jacket and tan backpack.
Personality
Not much is known about him, other than he loves to sleep. He prefers to be alone and watching the sidelines while also searching for the strongest among the students. He is also quick to hold grudge, as when Park Mu-Jin bully him around in his house, he swore to dismantle everything that man created.
Jung Mo-Ri's defining trait is his wish to have identity. In his own words, he defined this as hubris, thinking he's "unique". At the core, Jung Mo-Ri has massive insecurity, particularly to Jin Mo-Ri, the true owner of his supposed "identity". Thus, Jung Mo-Ri relishes in getting scarred and injured, as every new injury differentiates him from the original Monkey King.
History
Not much is learned about him YET.

- Baekdu: A knee attack delivered to the opponent's torso. Interestingly, while other renewal taekwondo users use this technique as a chain more combo, Jung Mo-Ri usage is closer to Northern ITF Taekwondo in which he entice the opponent to guard. He is using this to force Jwa-Woo into guarding position, only for him to break it and deliver Baek Rok.[7]
