Chijon family

Common card · No. 317344

The Chijon Family (Korean: 지존파), also known as the Jijon Family, was a South Korean gang active between 1993 and 1994. The gang was founded by Kim Gi-hwan, a former convict, along with six other former prisoners and unemployed workers who shared his grudge against the wealthy. The name "Chijon" was given to the gang by prosecutors working on the case. Originally, Kim had named his gang Mascan, believing the word to be of Greek origin and to signify "ambition," although no Greek word with a similar meaning and pronunciation can be identified.
