In the beginning, often wrestles with his desire to help others and his desire to just be normal enough to pursue Yumin without complications. One arc even revolves around Ken resigning from the gang so he can work as a idol manager, something he excitedly tells Yumin. It doesn't last as he learns the idol business is run by people just as shady as gang leaders, if not the gangs themselves, and he needs power to challenge them. He's ultimately forced to request his old gang's help to protect the idols he manages, with the condition that once he comes back, he can never quit again.
