is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Boichi. The plot tells the story of Ken who is in love with a Japanese girl named Yumin. He dropped out of high school and followed her to Korea in an attempt to be in the police force just like her. Arriving at Korea, he found himself a failure and unable to find proper work. After helping an old man from being abused by a gang, he later is recruited as the head of local gang led by Tae-Soo Park and made him the new boss. The manga was licensed by JManga

The story revolves around Ken, the main protagonist who wanted to become a police officer just like the girl he loves; due to unforeseen circumstances, he becomes the head of a local gang and tries to hide it from Yumin (a self-exiled daughter of a Yakuza that became a Korean police officer). This gang is later renamed The Sun-Ken Rock Group. At the first, the gang only consisted of few members and doesn't even have a base. As the manga progresses The Sun-Ken Rock gang becomes bigger as they recruited new members and take over other gangs' territories and investments. The Gang acquires an MMORPG company, a large casino, one of the biggest television media companies in Korea, as well as garnering political favors (making them the biggest gang in Korea). The manga has three spin-offs "Dango Knight ", "Sun Ken Rock Gaiden - Yumin" and "I Want Freed Yumin".

:A high-school delinquent and the primary protagonist who drops out of school and leaves Japan in pursuit of his love, Yumin. While in Korea he lives his life as a shut-in for an entire year being unable to find an actual job. After saving an old man from being killed by loan sharks, he was scouted and invited to join a local gang(gondal) to work under Tae-soo as one of his underlings. After fighting against Tae-soo, he was offered the position of boss instead. He initially declined since he wanted to join the police force alongside Yumin but Tae-soo eventually manipulates him into taking the position. His strength and sense of justice earns him the loyalty of his gang and the local community. As the leader of the Sun-Ken Rock Gang, he often hides his true identity from others (ex.: he tells Yumin he works at a video game company as a cover). Ken's parents were killed during a Yakuza war when he was 13. The character design of Ken is heavily influenced from Vash of Trigun Manga.
