| Jhun Hoon | Story | Move List | Gallery | Quotes | Trivia |
- In this Korean name, the family name is "Jhun".
Jhun Hoon (Hangul: 전훈, Hanja: 全勲, Japanese: ジョン・フーン) is a recurring member of the Korea Justice Team after his debut in The King of Fighters '99. He is the friendly rival of Kim Kaphwan.
Development
He was originally conceptualized to be "a veteran friendly character" with a Kim-inspired moveset.
Personality
He is a perfectionist to his students and proud of his ideals of justice and Tae Kwon Do. Though strict and collected during fights and training, he is a moe and pop-star enthusiast during his free time. He particularly likes Athena Asamiya's performances and will lose face to get an autograph from her; in fact, the canon reason for his absence in The King of Fighters 2001 was due to his over-enthusiasm, for such a case where he broke his arm chasing an image of her.
Thus unlike Kim despite his own sense of over-zealousness when it comes to his personal rivalry with him (which Kim may or may not acknowledge in kind), Jhun is someone who sees more of a lax approach to life as with his aforementioned pop-star interests, especially trying to actively be in tune with the coming times and not being as rigid-minded as Kim.
Powers
- Slashing Feet - Jhun's feet can cut and pierce.
- Energy Attacks - Jhun can infuse his kicks with energy.
- Cutting Aura - Jhun can create a slashing aura around his feet.
Fighting Style
Jhun's Tae Kwon Do style is similar but different from Kim's. Jhun is a unique character because he can actively switch between three fighting stances, counting his starting one. The other two are called Hawk Style and Eagle Style, Jhun can even perform specials that are unique to these stances. An unused design of Jhun appears as a Striker named Kang Bae Dal in The King of Fighters 2000. So far, unlike Kim, he has never used his fists for attacking.
