Why Jiho Park was THE PERFECT VILLAIN in Lookism

[@21vnyhng.]

one of the main messages that lookism gives us is to not judge a book by its cover or to not look down on people because of their looks or character but the lookism fans who are young and foolish did the very opposite of what the actual message of the manhwa was and jiho got looked down by people even in real life , as a result we lost such an valuable and potentially amazing antagonist in the series Rip Jiho Park :(

[@GiorgiKurasbediani-p2v]

Fr looksim teach us to not be a crystal mid

[@animp505]

I'd agree with that but a lotttt of people found Jiho post-jail time hot (me included), so I don't think most people hated him solely because of looks

[@FormlessVail]

@@animp505 go back to the arcs talked about in the video and you will see that at the comment section you will see how many hate comments are about jiho I read them and got disgusted at what they were saying about such a good character

[@animp505]

@@FormlessVail I mean yeah, a lot of people hate him, that's because Jiho has done horrible things like attempted murder. My point was that the hate he got was mainly for his actions and not his looks, because a lot of people found him physically attractive post jail time.

[@animp505]

@hansongwapo9857 yeah the fans were pretty immature, but I think it's because Jiho's presence in the story was considered more of a nuisance rather than intimidating, so they kinda made their dislike a bit too obvious. Not saying they were right in harassing PTJ until he killed off Jiho (I was sad when he died, who could've actually been a good villain).

[@folcrons]

I want jiho back, he's my fav character and he was killed cause of the false fans... We need him back so he can be the important character he was meant to be

[@cobaltjay9862]

Glad to know I wasn't the only Jiho fan, I got into so many arguments on the webtoon app

[@Syndersis]

I stay away from the webtoon comments cuz its js a bunch of ppl who dont fully understand the story and only see it surface level

[@Allenluvable]

I was so caught off guard by Jiho's death, since it was obvious from previously set up plot points that he was supossed to be way more important, or at least had more he was supossed to do. I knew in ny gut he had been killed because of fan backlash, which sucks. The odds are low, but I wouldn't mind if he pulled a miraculous recovery, and came back.

[@edenzero4740]

PTJ revealed that Jiho was supposed to be one of the main characters. He had a much bigger part in the story, but had to put an abrupt stop to his plans because of all the hate he received from the younger audience. He was supposed to change, but due to the hate he received, even before the Daniel Park accident, the plan was changed and he became one of the main antagonists in his own arc. 40% of Jiho's prison life was edited out. In it, it was mentioned that Jiho got r*ped by Darius. PTJ added that Jiho was his most favourite character, a perfect antithesis of Daniel Park. Lookism was originally intended for audiences aged 20-24 who were mature enough to deal with darker concepts. But because of the stupid, younger audience spamming hate comments since Jiho's appearance, he had to give up on what he wanted to write. -Lero ro it would be very interesting if we saw improved small daniel, redeemed jiho and succesful deokhwa at the end of the series but i guess it's impossible now

[@SilverYPheonix]

FR, I was legit disgusted with the comments in EVERY episode where Jiho was focused on. Everyone always praised, fanboy'd or acknowledged the other characters, even when he did something right nobody even batted an eye.

[@flowseesaw]

Bro that sucks jiho was an amazing character too me

[@vapelite78]

wish ptj ignore those fake fans

[@mihirgogri5261]

god i hate webtoon readers man

[@theleoninaulus1423]

​@@SilverYPheonix Well... That's why the manhwa is called "Lookism" for a reason... Jiho wasn't attractive, so he got wiped out from the story by FORCE from the immature audience...

[@falpio]

He is the perfect vilain in Lookism because he is what Daniel was supposed to be if he would't got the second body🙏

[@aaronjackson2720]

I agree with part of this, but I don't think this is Daniel without a second body. Daniel and Duke weren't like Jiho despite their being bullied.

[@napping7674]

​@@aaronjackson2720nah Daniel was kinda it's just that Daniel is more luckier he's in the mid

[@Juan-vp6qn]

@@aaronjackson2720 Remember how Daniel was after Zack's beating.

[@smaoproducts]

I’ve always liked the idea of Jiho being brought back to become Goo’s masterpiece and while Daniel is Gun’s. It would be the perfect rivalry. An epic fight between them to resolve their differences needs to happen since the way it was ended was so disappointing. Eventually the redemption arc with Jiho teaming up with Daniel to defeat Charles Choi and James Lee would be really fulfilling. Don’t let us down PTJ! You know what to do! 😂

[@Juan-vp6qn]

It is obvious that the story was Jiho working for workers but when necessary they had to lead Eli Jang to the wrong path to replace him. He would then be trained by Goo and help Daniel recover his next body but had to be replaced by Hansan's guy. And so it would have had too much potential in the story.

[@fhsh531]

Gun training Daniel and Goo training Jiho would have been perfect. Kinda like a double sides of a coin.

[@Sumit-dh4qe]

Tbh I don't know how goo could train jiho because jiho has no talent

[@Charlsmagne]

@@Sumit-dh4qe olly just wanted to get strong so gun trained him so why not goo can do the same for jiho?

[@SilverYPheonix]

​@@GOKU-px7qdJiho's power came from his tenacity, despite never being the talented one he always came back with the mentality of never dying like cockroach. Tbh he would work coming back as a major antagonist if he returned as the likes of Eugene, as a power brain or strategist.

[@GOKU-px7qd]

@@SilverYPheonix sadly it's been so long I don't think will comeback anymore

[@sekki8425]

I absolutely agree because he is the complete opposite if Daniel. I just genuinely hope that PTJ can somehow make him comeback as a villain

[@klean1620]

No shot, he was killed off because Korean fans a bunch of crybabies.

[@smaoproducts]

That or an anti-hero. As much fucked up shit as he’s done I do like redemption arcs, plus that’s the original plan PTJ had for him.

[@SilverYPheonix]

Still hoping in my heart of hearts that Jiho somehow returns resurrected. Despite him being diagnosed with Schizo Syndrome, people did witness him being present with "someone" before he died. Would be the ultimate comeback if he returns in a new body.

[@Pendejoguey]

This is why PTJ implied eugene was jihos second body but maybe only eugene knew and jiho blacked out while he was in eugenes body

[@ShifuSage]

one of my favs for sure, had one of the highest lvls of potential in lookism

[@tyresesuri7431]

Babe,wake up,vmatt just posted❤️

[@kchaosfrost1659]

The scene where he leaves confinement and his old self stays behind was powerful

[@regis_d]

He is perfect villain for Lookism but not for Gangism

[@cobaltjay9862]

Dude was even more perfect for gangism, Ansan public arc proved that up until PTJ pulled a 180 on how strong Jiho was

[@yungloneboi]

He would've been crazy on gangism fym

[@motivated2473]

Literally just give him a sword and make him cut a First King into pieces like Goo, pure motivation.

[@cobaltjay9862]

@@motivated2473 that would have been shitty story telling lmao no

[@motivated2473]

​@@cobaltjay9862 It would have fitted perfectly with the rivalry and parallels between Jiho and Daniel, by having them also parallel the rivalry between Goo and Gun. Jiho already was good with weapons, and was batshit crazy enough to impress Goo, it sounds objectively perfect and better than the garbage they did with him anyways.

[@motivated2473]

Fun fact: There was A LOT more supposed to go on the Juvenile Prison Arc originally but PTJ scratched it, I don't remember a specific reason but I can guess that people at the time weren't really getting into Jiho's character (As genius as it was) and complained "hUr dUr bAd pErSoN bAd cHaRaCtER"

[@KavinAdhithya-m2l]

Jiho is the perfect badass antagonist... I hated him for the actions like pushing daniel off floor, but when i read the juvie arc, where its revealed that he's the leader of the cell.. it gave me Goosebumps.. He got killed too early. he should gave badass arc where he must a mastermind.. We want him back

[@RY0SH1_THE_F00L]

Imagine if jiho got mentor like Gun for Daniel then he'd have more potential to grow. Such a shame I liked jiho too, but now he'll be never return. If in the future PTJ make new character like jiho with Same personality, same growth it'd be better

[@Juan-vp6qn]

The perfect mentor for Jiho was Goo. So until Vin Jin had his redemption arc it would have been a perfect one for Jiho.

[@Raven5922]

I admit that jiho is really a complex character and I like as a character in lookism but till the end he was so naive unlike Daniel and Eugene, so in my opinion the best villain title in lookism should go to either Eugene or Charles choi.

[@Juan-vp6qn]

Jiho is the literal antithesis of Daniel, he is the Daniel who took the dark path.

[@juantorres-fk7bk]

Dude, I cannot believe how much we missed out because of a bunch of entitled brats, Jiho’s story was without a doubt gonna be one of the greatest pieces of writing and storytelling by one of the best writers and we will never get it now because of what is essentially a temper tantrum by the people the author himself is warning us about, talk about irony.
