KI GAYOON was the original #1 Esper in South Korea.
Even today, people still recognized him as the strongest, even though Ryu Sungbin was now the country's official #1.
However, many didn't like Ki Gayoon for his arrogance and rudeness.
It didn't help that Ki Gayoon neglected his Esper duties to become a business tycoon. Many Civilians accused him of being a 'traitor' because he chose his personal profit over the safety of the country.
Hence, to say that all Korean citizens were shocked after seeing Ki Gayoon bow his head while talking to them politely would be an understatement.
Of course, there were still some who scoffed at their nation's strongest Esper.
"Is he bowing his head because he's feeling helpless?"
"He shouldn't have declared Esper Law if he couldn't handle it."
"I never trusted Ki Gayoon. He's such an overhyped Esper."
"Can we really trust a businessman who chose profit over his duties?"
However, the majority of the citizens were pleasantly surprised.
