Shin Jung Tae’s World : The Hostages Ep18
Hostaging is an ancient method to force or coerce parties to an agreement or prevent them from doing certain actions. The meaning of the word has since been expanded. In Inspiring Generation they were both used overtly by Aoki/ Ill Gook Hwae and covertly by the Hwangbang.

In episode 18, we see the major characters as hostages.
Ok Ryeon was used by Aoki as hostage to get Jung Tae to appear before him. Jung Tae’s as expected was a knee jerk reaction ran to the rescue of lady love! even if it meant scaling the walls of the intelligence (ala spiderman) building and with the high potential of getting shot. In the heat of the moment, he didn’t think it could be a trap set by Aoki. Of course it was. Even with Aoki backed up by his military force, Jung Tae with only his determination, fists and kicks and two standbys with superior skills, the latter won. Aoki was ready to have him shot if not for the timely intervention (diversion tactic of a fire) by Gaya.
Ok Ryeon was held hostage again this time by the Hwangbang through Doo Goo who came to bring her out of prison and dangled Jung Te’s life being in danger if she didn’t sign the contract to be a singer. It was not because she is such a great singer but only to test if Shin Jung Te will react and make himself available to them.
The “wanted” man, Jung Te, dead or alive preferably alive and serving the Hwangbang went to see the old man regarding Ok Ryeon. Of course “no pressure ” there with the option of being able to take Ok Ryeon away if he can “protect” her which we know Hwangbang can easily create an unfriendly situation. The second time Jung Te went there regarding the killings at Bangsamtong only to hear from his “father” the offer of the Club ownership and how to eliminate Jae Hwa to get it.
Jung Te, in effect, is also being hostage to what the Hwangbang wants him to do or else…
Gaya is a major hostage with a back story unfolded in several episodes -the death of her parents. Ill Gook Hwae promised her she would know the truth and can do revenge if she stayed with them. Now that she finally knew who instigated the crime, the very life of Shin Jung Tae is being used to keep her in line as her actions has been all these times protective of him.
Jung Jae Hwa is another hostage to the monetary demands of Hwangbang or else lose the Club. Little did he know the old man Seol Doo has not only already offered his position to Jung Tae but also to kill him. The pretext of the Rub Out was he couldn’t protect his community when the real reason was he refused to sell opium.
You’d think Leader Mo with his stature will not become a hostage but he was with the Hwangbang threat on the lives of his family members if he doesn’t defeat Jung Tae and agree to the other demands of the Hwangbang. Thanks to Jung Tae’s plea to Seol Doo Mo’s family was untouched.
The Bangsamtong community had all become hostages because Jae Hwa refused the do the biddings of Seol Doo. As a result they were subjected to killing and being wounded by hired men.
Our major hostages whose lives are now intertwined are not going to sit pretty with all the threats and harm aimed at them.They are plotting some strategies on how to strike back. Well,well,well there are 6 episodes more to go to do that. Team Jae Hwa turned Mission impossible Team? I hope Gaya joins them.
Jung Te still needs to find his sister(another potential hostage) and be reunited with the Dobi gang. IG can always extend,you know.
But the Ill Gook Hwae’s Denkai is also coming to Shanghai. Aoki still cannot be retired -has some pre war takeover mopping operations to do.
