Ma Dongxi , this man with strong muscles and rough appearance, even though he is a middle-aged uncle, but the characters he plays are very responsible and manly, showing his masculine charm.
In addition, as a tough guy, Ma Dongxi can also be "warm and cute" and has many male fans and millions of fans.
Recently, news broke that Ma Dongxi and his sweet wife registered for marriage. At the same time, it was also revealed that the South Korean underworld forces will gather Busan to celebrate the birthday of the leader of the Seven Star Gang. The two news both rushed to the hot search. The moment
saw the hot search item, he felt that everything was a book by chance. The indissoluble bond between Ma Dongxi and the gang runs deep. It seems that in the eyes of the Chinese people, the Korean gangsters are as daring as Ma Dongxi, who are affectionate and righteous, which makes the word "gangster" a little fanciful and endearing.
Ma Dongxi's incomprehensible relationship with gangsters
Ma Dongxi came out of the circle with works such as " villain ", " crime city ", " bad guys " and other works. The crime movie starring him is a golden signboard. Applauded and sold. As long as Ma Dongxi plays, it must be a masterpiece.
In movies, Ma Dong-seok's characters are usually "villains" such as underworld leaders, gangsters or murderers. In the well-received "Criminal City", it is rare to play a criminal policeman, but he is a violent criminal policeman, known as a monster. There seems to be no other difference in the shaping of the roles of the criminal police and the gangster, except that the names of the two are different. In
"The Legend of the Evil", Ma Dongxi is the black boss of the Zeus gang. He uses a human punching bag to practice boxing. Injured, he took the opportunity to kill the foolish boss, and finally joined the police to sacrifice himself to go to prison to solve the serial killer. When he was wearing a prison uniform, across the prison iron net, and smiling evilly at him, his death time had come! In
"Bad Guys", Ma Dongxi is the black boss of the oriental faction, and he went to prison for resisting the crimes of others (the black boss is not a good person if he is not a good guy!). I thought that the devil would warm up the man, but who knew that he would dominate the prison again, and who would dare to fight once he made a move. His super combat ability turned him and several criminals into the Korean version of "Suicide Squad", using violence to defeat violence and evil to defeat evil. This is not a gang battle, what is it? It's just that the image of Jianqi in the movie has turned into a stinky fish and rotten shrimp under the criticism of President Lu Taiyu . The image in the play is just a romantic imagination of the savage era. In
"Criminal City", Ma Dongxi turned into a decent criminal policeman, used to solve problems by force, subdue the bad guy with one punch, a violent man who is even worse than the bad guy. In a series of out-of-control actions, he embarked on the road of fighting crime with violence (the old path has been traveled many times, and I never get tired of it!). The movie was rated R for its excess of gore and violence, but that didn't stop it from being the top-grossing crime movie. Once "Criminal City 2" was released, the impact was even greater. The number of viewers exceeded the 12 million mark, which is equivalent to one out of every five Koreans who have watched it, and won the third place in the Korean movie box office list in one fell swoop.
Korean gangster movies are popular, what caused such a big environment? Where did the real Korean gangsters come from?
The history of Korean gangs
The Korean gangs can be roughly divided into four stages: the colonial era, the political mob era, the military and civil war era and the contemporary gangs.
1910–1945: Colonial era
The Japanese colonial era, Koreans were enslaved by Japan, and in order to survive, many mob groups emerged.
representative: Jin Doohan
Jin Doohan is the illegitimate son of the famous Korean anti-Japanese general Jin Zuozhen . After his mother died, he defected to his father, who was later killed, and Jin Doohan became a street beggar. When
was wandering on the street, he was caught by an old overseas Chinese man and accepted as his adopted son. While teaching him woodworking, he also taught Chinese Kung Fu . But Jin Doohan was only interested in practicing kung fu, so he joined the boxing gym opened by his adoptive father's friend and became a capable general.
soon because of the conflict, the owner of the museum ran away, he took over the mess and started the road of counterattack. 18 years old,Defeat the two forces of "Yan Dongxu" and "Gao Xiqing". Toyo Trading, which attacked the only Japanese yakuza that could rival at that time. Since then, his name has been well known to every family, and he is regarded as a chivalrous anti-Japanese hero in South Korea, establishing his unshakable status as a gang leader.
After Japan's defeat, order was restored in Korea. Kim Doohan fell to Syngman Rhee because of his father's death and began to persecute leftist workers and peasants. After entering politics, as the general committee of the Korean labor force, he fought for the rights and interests of the workers. After
Syngman Rhee was ousted from power, Kim Doohan participated in the campaign to support , Park Chung-hee, and . Park Chung-hee and Syngman Rhee retreated as if they were withdrawing. After they came to power, they began to eradicate dissidents, and the association became the target of suppression.
As a political representative of the society, Kim Doohan feels that he has been demolished by crossing the river and often criticizes the government in Congress. In November 1972, during the eighth presidential election in South Korea, he publicly criticized the military government and annoyed Park Chung-hee. On the 21st of the month, Jin Doohan, who was strong and strong, died suddenly on the street. The cause of death was identified as cerebral hemorrhage.
went from being the boss of the sword to whitewashing and politics, from the age of the savages to the gradual demise, the first generation of black boss Kim Doohan was floating in the rolling trend of Korean history .
commented in one sentence: was successful in resisting Japan, but he made mistakes in making black;
1950-60s: Political thugs
This period is relatively close to the colonial period, the situation of gangsters is basically the same, and the representative figures and the colonial period Jin Douhan also overlap in time.
Representative: Lee Ding-jae
Lee Ding-jae is a famous Korean sumo wrestler and a gang leader whose sphere of influence is in the Dongdaemun area.
Lee Ding-jae, under the aegis of President Rhee Syngman, became a double-faced person, both a political figure and a gang leader, from which the political thugs came.
The black boss Kim Doohan and Lee Ding-jae had a fork with President Rhee Syngman, which was a very typical black-and-white symbiosis in that era.
Lee Ding-jae has become a thug used by politicians to maintain the regime in order to use violence to suppress hostile forces and manipulate the situation. Such as the 1960 "Korean University student attack", is his handwriting.
In addition, Lee Ding-jae also took advantage of Syngman Rhee's political power to eliminate and inherit a large number of forces after Kim Doohan's sudden death.
As the saying goes: the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks. After playing the last bit of residual heat for President Syngman Rhee, he was arrested and sentenced to be hanged.
commented on in one sentence: The real and the fake are two-faced, but the actual lackey.
1970s-80s: The era of military and civil war
In the early 1970s, the hierarchical structure of Korean gangs was gradually formed, and weapons were also upgraded to knives and iron bars, and gang fighting was extremely brutal. During this period, there were 3 large-scale gang forces: the Western faction of Kim Tae Village, the Gwangju OB faction of Lee Dong-jae, and the Yang Eun-eup faction. It was from this time that the Seven Stars in Busan became famous, and the leader at that time was Lee Kang-hwan.
Representative: Jintai Village
Jintai Village, from an ordinary and poor family. In 1975, still an unemployed young man, he joined the "Western faction" in Gwangju. With his outstanding fighting ability and debt collection ability, his status rose rapidly. Two years later, at the Chosun Hotel nightclub, Kim Tae-cun became the boss of the "Western faction" through the "Xing Ke Shang". After
became the boss, Jintai Village often fought with other gangs in order to expand the sphere of influence in the fields of casinos, loan sharks, and collecting protection fees. As a result, he became notorious and took the top spot in the Korean gang. Gang fights began to use weapons such as baseball bats , and it was because of him.
In 1985, Jintai Village was imprisoned twice. After nearly ten years in prison, Jin Taicun became a devout Christian.
He went on missions around the world, distributed food to the homeless with volunteers, and mobilized his former subordinates to leave the gang and take the right path.
has a huge influence because of his former black boss status. Many people listened to his advice and turned their backs on the evil, causing the Korean gang to fall into a "destroying" downturn for a time.
1990-present: contemporary "enterprise" gangs
In the late 1990s, gangs began to undergo many changes, from the "simple blackmail" type in the past to the "power intervention type". Some gangsters have turned into entrepreneurs.
They pour illicit money from organizing violent groups into legitimate industries, such as real estate, construction services, or education and culture. After this move, he was whitewashed and became a serious "businessman".
Representative: Jintai Village.
is right, it's still Jintai Village. He is the first and most famous one among the black bosses who have transformed.
thought that Jin Taicun, who had been in prison for ten years and believed in Christ, had rehabilitated, but in fact he never left the underworld life.
ten years in prison, he found a mask of hypocrisy to cover up the darkness in his heart. From simple extortion, to a businessman who will make money in the legitimate industry. Jintai Village used the blood-stained money to get involved in industries such as construction, real estate development and performing arts.
This time, he took the lead again, and many underworld "big brothers" turned into entrepreneurs.
It wasn't until 2007 that the media exposed the incident of Kim Tae Village's threat to Kwon Sang Woo, a film and television star, that people realized that he was the same as before and had not changed. In 2013, he was again charged with coercing an artist. Domestic public opinion was in an uproar, and began to vigorously denounce Jintai Village. It's just that he died of illness before he was judged justly.
one sentence evaluation: is a chameleon , and it is still a worm inside.
Currently the most powerful gangster
Representative: Seven Stars
Seven Stars (also known as the Seven Stars Gang), which began to emerge during the civil war between Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan , is now one of the largest criminal groups in South Korea, with a sphere of influence in Busan, South Korea. The main source of profit of
Seven Stars is extortion, such as opening black casinos. Obviously, it's the old gangster way. Since it is the old way, it is inevitable to "deal with the police" for many years.
In the 1990s, the first leader of the Seven Stars faction, Li Jianghuan, was arrested. In 2013, Han, the 46-year-old leader of the Seven Star faction, was arrested, along with 25 other accomplices, and six other members were charged.
Han has been trying to expand the territory of the Seven Stars faction, absorbing all kinds of disorganized gangs, and forming an alliance with his provincial financial unit. Frequent actions have become the object of close attention of prosecutors.
is nothing but a hard-hitting gang, the leader of running water. One boss was arrested, another boss stood up.
In addition to having to stage a cunning rabbit three caves with the police, the Seven Star faction also has to fight with another gang, that is, the nemesis in Busan - New 20th Century faction .
In fact, the current Qixing faction and the new 20th century faction are "one mother compatriots", both originated from the violent gang founded by the founder of the school, Li Jianghuan in 1957. After Li Jianghuan was arrested, the original Seven Star faction split into several factions. So far, the current Seven Star faction and the New 20th Century faction are the ones that cannot be underestimated.
's gangster movie "Friends" starring Jang Dong Gun and is based on the rivalry between the two.
The Seven Star faction and the New 20th Century faction have always had a tense relationship, and violent incidents have occurred frequently. Last year alone, there were two gang fights and gang fights. The rise of
gang forces has given South Korean police a headache. Every time a gang leader gets married, birthday celebrations and other major events, the police are like a big enemy, and they often deploy nearly 100 special police officers outside the venue to "stand guard".
Imagine a group of gang members walking down the aisle, with SWAT officers standing guard on both sides, and the wonderful scenery appears like this!
