History Webcomic / ViralHit

* BlandNameProduct: Hobin and Bomi work at [=WacDonald's=], various characters are seen sporting Cucci, the video uploading site [[Website/YouTube [=NewTube=]]] or [=NewTubU=] in the anime.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Even after Gaeul learns Hobin likes Bomi, she understands his feelings and asks him to treat her nicely.
** [[spoiler: Averted hard for Moonsung though, who still wants Bomi despite her feelings.]]

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Logan Gracie is the chicken man behind the How to Fight series of videos]]

** Man-gi takes one himself in chapter 73 [[spoiler: having learned the basic of boxing to complement ssireum and keep distant to protect his face]]
* TheWorfEffect: Man-gi is victim of this when Wangguk beats him with visible ease.
** [[spoiler: Wangguk himself became a victim when he fights against the only boxer his trainer considered more talented than him, and even after getting the upper hand; 244's interference ends up making Wangguk's effort in said fight a case of AllForNothing,]]
** Hobin and the males members of his crew became victim of this again when [[spoiler: Baek Seonjun invades in their office after exposing and making him a fugitive from the police; Baek truly shows them the difference between public martial arts and fighting for your life, destroying Man-gi and Ji Yeonwoo with ease, having minor problems against Hobin's tricks and only truly struggling against Taehoon, who used all of his arsenal against Baek, including a couple of new moves and still couldn't put him down for good]].

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 58 and 59 are this for Taehoon. [[spoiler:The reason he is so aggressive towards people who spend their whole life studying, and his attention toward Hobin, came from a incident when Dowoon, one of the few if not the only person Taehoon considered a "friend", (and a IdenticalStranger to Hobin, except the hair color) ended up being killed by some thug paid to hurt Taehoon. He also blames himself for pushing Dowoon away when he realized he was a Taekwando genius who could surpass him.]]
** Chapter 80 takes the cake [[spoiler:showing the first on screen murder of the whole series, and revealing the true nature of 244 business]].
** A minor one but chapter 101 not only is the end of Baek Seongjun's backstory, but show that [[spoiler:he wasn't just remembering it, but telling his life to Hobin, who managed to catch up to him. Though Hobin admits he can understand but not forgive Baek, it earns him his respect, just before the hitman paid to hunt him also declares that he will kill Hobin to eliminate any witnesses.]]

* ActionGirl:
** [[spoiler:Han Gyeoul]] isn't as demure and fragile as she looks (and plays up) and is a dangerous boxer in her own right.
** [[spoiler:Gaeul]] usually abstains from fighting because she's by her own admission "afraid to get hit in the face". When she does fight, she is in fact a very strong fighter. It later turns out that [[spoiler:not only is Gaeul the original student of the Fighting Chicken, she's also his ''daughter''.]]

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: After the beating Hobin gave Pakgo in chapter 66 it wasn't made clear if he was left alive or killed; there was no mention of him afterward and by the look of his injuries, he could have died from internal bleeding.]]

* BerserkButton: The reason Hobin got into his first two fights? They were insulting his mother, who had cancer.

* BlandNameProduct: Hobin and Bomi work at [=WacDonald's=], various characters are seen sporting Cucci, the video uploading site [[Website/YouTube [=NewTube=]]]...

* BookEnds: [[spoiler: Hibin ends his last fight with Jinho the same way he won his first real one: with an overhand hook.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even Pakgo is disgusted with Snapper throwing Hobin under the bus after he gets embarrassed by him. As he puts it, he hates Snapper even more than Hobin because he's a snake.

* HealthcareMotivation: Hobin gets into streaming in order to pay for medicine for his ailing mother.

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Hobin briefly gets into this when he learns his mother signed a contract with XJ Company and the only way to get her out of it is for his company to join XJ. Thankfully, Taehoon snaps him out of it.]]

* KnowWhenToFoldThem: After being humiliated by Pakgo, Hobin starts to not get into fights that easily until he properly learns some techniques against their fighting style.

* StarterVillain: Pakgo is this, since he doesn't specialize in any type of fighting style.

* UnskilledButStrong: Pakgo is taller than average and seem to workout at least a bit, so he has at least some raw strength that make him a threat initially, but lacks any formal martial art training (not even knowing about the existence of the calf-kick). It's shown that he is not even able to learn how to counter techniques fast. During his and Hobin's rematch, he is still easy prey to the calf kick and hook combo (in fact, because of Hobin's improved strength, now it deals way more damage to him than before):
** Zig-zagged with Joo Hyeoksoo. He doesn't have any apparent martial arts training but is a bodybuilder, so his raw strength is leagues above the average, and he at least show some fight sense and knowledge about fighting styles, being able to counter Mang-gi' ssireum, at least at first.

* ThinlyVeiledDubCountryChange: The anime adaptation seems to have changed the setting to Japan, considering how all text and character names are Japanese. However, the changes are completely surface level, considering that everything else about the series is still very Korean, with the dead giveaway of the neighborhood that Hobin lives in is obviously comprised of Korean style houses.

** Surprisingly, Taehoon's father is showed to be one, while not at his son level, is made clear that he is highly skilled at both ITF and WTF Taekwondo. He gets to show this off more in the prequel ''Manager Kim'",where it was show that in his prime he was even stronger than Taehoon ,and even in recent times, if needed to get serious enought, is still a very dangerous fighter.

* Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: [[spoiler: Lee Jinho being pulled to hell by Baek may have been a hallucination from drowning, but this webtoon shares a universe with Loser life/Life completely ruined/My Life as a Loser which cannonically has supernatural elements relating to the afterlife...so it may have really happened]]

* BookEnds: [[spoiler: Hibin ends his last fight with Jinho the same way he won his first real one: with an uppercut punch.]]

** [[spoiler: Baek Seongjun]] uses eye gouging, crotch shots, improvised weapons and utilizes a countertop to immobilize his opponents.[[spoiler: This is in spite of being a judo prodigy. He is also former Yakuza and is genuinely trying to kill the members of Hobin's company.]]

* Acrofatic: Despite his build, Man-gi is ''extremely'' quick thanks to the intensity of Ssireum.

* BigBad: 244 or Lee Jinho

** LightningBruiser: Man-gi may be enormous and heavy, but he actually runs 19 miles a day and can easily keep up with much lighter foes sprinting away from him.

** Seongjun was once a champion judoka. When he challenges the Hobin Yu company, he punches, kicks, and uses weapons, and ridicules Hobin for expecting him to fight ''like'' a judoka in a real fight. He shows Hobin the greatest flaw in his style- Hobin has been learning how to combat different types of opponents, rather than learning ''how to actually fight people''.
