In the heart of Seoul’s brutal underworld, power is everything, and loyalty is only as strong as the next betrayal.

Kim Tae-sung, the ruthless and feared Street King, rules the criminal empire with an iron grip. But when an ambitious rival, Jinwoo, rises from the shadows, a bloody war erupts—one fueled by revenge, greed, and the ghosts of the past.

At the center of it all is Kim Do-yun, Tae-sung’s most trusted enforcer, forced into an impossible choice when his family is threatened. Betray his king—or lose everything he loves.

As alliances crumble and hidden enemies emerge, Hye-jin, a mysterious woman with deadly skills and a secret agenda, plays both sides—waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

In a city where every handshake is a trap and every promise is a lie, who will survive, and who will fall?

Love, betrayal, war, and revenge collide in The Street King, a high-stakes action thriller where the line between hero and villain disappears in the smoke of gunfire.

The throne is up for grabs.
But to claim it, one must walk through blood.

THE STREET KING

Jinwoo sat in the backseat of the car, his wounded arm wrapped in a bloody bandage. The city lights blurred past the window, but his mind was elsewhere.

And worse—someone had ordered his execution years ago.

Someone higher up. Someone Jinwoo had trusted.

Minji, sitting beside him, exhaled smoke from her cigarette. "You look like you just saw a ghost."

Jinwoo didn't respond. He reached into his pocket, pulling out his phone.

There was only one person who could have ordered that hit.

The man who had turned him into a killer.

After a few rings, the line clicked.

The next night, Jinwoo walked into a high-rise hotel suite.

Chairman Seo sat at the dining table, sipping tea like an emperor. He looked the same—calm, controlled, powerful.

"Jinwoo," Seo greeted. "You never call unless it's important."

"Did you order the hit on Kang Dae-jung?"

The simple confirmation sent a cold rage through Jinwoo's veins.

"You used me," Jinwoo said quietly.

Seo chuckled. "I trained you. And you did your job well."

"You made me kill a man who wasn't even your enemy."

"Oh, he was my enemy. And now he's yours too."

And now, he was forcing him to clean up the mess.

"You knew he survived, didn't you?"

Seo nodded. "He was supposed to stay hidden. But now that he's resurfaced, you know what must be done."

Seo smiled. "I want you to fix your mistake."

Jinwoo stared at the man who had once been his mentor.

The weight of betrayal pressed against his chest.

Dae-jung wasn't the only enemy now.

And Jinwoo was caught between two devils.
