During the whole Busan Arc, Jinrang barely showed up. The only time we saw him was when he got out of jail. Daniel Park was there to meet Gun Park in Prison, and while heading back, he spotted Jinrang and the entire Busan Gang army.
Right away, Daniel could feel Jinrang’s insane presence, showing just how strong this guy really is. But after that, Jinrang completely disappeared from the arc, until the latest chapter.
Meanwhile, the four crew leaders of Busan got taken down by the Allied, and the three Elite members of the Busan Gang lost to the First Generation Kings.
Jaegyeon, the King of Incheon, went up against Baekjin Hyun and won without much trouble. Taesoo Ma took down Do Jaegwang, while Gongseob Ji defeated Song Hashik.
The fight between Baek Sang and Daniel Park still has not happened, even though it was teased back in Lookism Chapter 536.
Also, Vin Jin and Vasco’s opponent is an elite fighter, Jungseok Hwang, but their fight has not been shown yet either.
Since Daniel Park still needs to take down Baek Sang, there is a good chance that Jinrang, the King of Busan, will first head toward Area #1, where the First Generation Kings already defeated the elite members.

What To Expect From Lookism Chapter 540
Jinrang finally showed up, and now he’s seen traveling by boat. But Lookism Chapter 540 will probably focus on the fight between Daniel Park and Baek Sang, who is the second-in-command of the Busan Gang.
Even if Jinrang makes it to Area #1, Taesoo Ma and Gongseob Ji have no reason to fight him since they hat James Lee. They only came to help Daniel Park and protect their disciples. So, they will probably leave without getting involved with Jinrang.
Both fights, Allied vs. the four Busan leaders and the First Generation Kings vs. the Busan Gang Elite, felt rushed. This just means PTJ is setting up something bigger. Things will probably get really interesting once Jinrang finally steps in to fight.
Jinrang vs. Kitae Kim Will Most Likely Happen
The most likely fight is Jinrang vs. Kitae Kim. Jinrang was Gapryong Kim’s disciple, while Kitae Kim is his son. Kitae was the one who killed Gapryong Kim, and he did it with James Lee’s help.
Even now, Kitae and James are still working together. James even sent Daniel Park and the King of Incheon to Busan.
James Lee’s prediction about Jinrang turned out to be right. Jinrang is running illegal businesses and even human trafficking, just like Charles Choi. But James isn’t trying to stop him because he cares—he just sees Jinrang as a big threat.
Back when James Lee was in prison, he took out his own elite members and even took their body parts, just like he did to the First Generation Kings. Jinrang is most likely coming after James, but instead of waiting, he’s making the first move.
So, instead of Daniel Park fighting Jinrang, it will probably be Kitae Kim by the end of the arc. However, there is still a small chance of Jinrang not being a villain, since the entire time he was in jail and his crews were working on their own by following the elite members of the gang.

So there is a chance all the dirty work was done by them and Jingrang had no involvement. But chances of this happening are very low.
Lookism Chapter 539: King of Incheon vs Baekjin Hyun
The chapter starts with Jaegyeon, the King of Incheon, completely humiliating Baekjin Hyun. At first, Baekjin got scared just from Jaegyeon showing up, but he eventually pulled himself together and went to fight. Eli Jang was watching, and Jaegyeon recognized him.
Baekjin called Jaegyeon a half-assed King, but that didn’t matter, Jaegyeon knocked him out with just one kick to the face.
Gongseob Ji vs Song Hashik Concluded
Meanwhile, at Area #1, the fight between Gongseob Ji and Song Hashik started. Song Hashik was really fast, constantly attacking Gongseob using his speed. At first, it looked one-sided, and Song Hashik seemed to be winning.

But Gongseob, even without his leg, relied on his endurance. He took a lot of heavy hits, but then he revealed his new stance. He had trained to fight using just one step.
Every time Song Hashik tried to punch, Gongseob could predict his moves and counter with a single step. Even without his leg, he was way faster than Song Hashik.
Jinrang is coming
After Gongseob won, Song Hashik muttered something, “The wolf is coming”, hinting at Jinrang’s arrival.

The scene then shifts to Jinrang, who is on a boat, hearing from his guy that his three elite members just got defeated. At the end of the chapter, he asks, “Where are they?”, teasing that he is about to join the fight in Busan.
