Chang was a feared criminal throughout Korea. Using his huge body mass
like a giant wrecking ball, and his bald head as hard as iron, it was not hard
at all for Chang to accomplish his robberies and escape, literally flattening
any police resistance. If his huge humanity wasn't enough, Chang wielded a very
heavy iron ball, which aided him in breaking through walls and thrashing any
police car in his way.
Once, while he was comitting a crime in a humble Korean suburb, Chang met
a little man named Choi, who was outside a butchery. Chang found him to be very
funny, and offered Choi to aid him in his crime business. Choi refused as he
already had a job to sustain him. Still resistant, Chang tells Choi that it
would be fun anyhow, and with his help, they won't ever get caught. Choi finally
accepted his offer, as he was quite bored of his daily life, and wanted a bit of
excitement...but they agreed that they shouldn't tell anything to Choi's wife!
So, began the evildoings of Chang and Choi, a duo feared among the banks
and tiny shops. With their combined powers, it was unlikely to stop them! Chang
and his impressie strength allowed them to break through barricades, allowing
him and Choi to run away with the loot. Chang didn't only did this for the
money, but he also found it very funny. He was also very happy to have Choi with
him, since he found him to be a very good friend. However, Chang, not being so
bright, wasn't so smart to think about everything, and he was once caught by the
police, which had formed quite an impressive number around Chang and Choi.
However, as promised, Chang made one last attempt to free Choi, and he helped
him in his escape, while Chang was sent to prison, where he obviously, didn't
stay for much time.
When Chang escaped, he quickly reunited with Choi and planned their next
crime. They soon found a client in a passing woman, whom seemed to have a lot of
booty on her. It was the time to attack! Suddenly, a white stream passed in
front of their eyes. What was that? Then the duo was swept away. A man stood in
front of them. With a challenging pose and a serious sight, the man introduced
himself as the fighter of justice, Kim Kaphwan! Chang and Choi laughed at such a
puny man, but they unexpectedly got thrashed by him in no time. Kim then picked
them up and told them that he would take care that they would be men of good
once again! Chang sighed and moaned...his life of crime was at a hault. Now he
would know true punishment at the hands of Kim Kaphwan.
Chang, during the past years, has been obligated to train himself in the
art of Tae Kwon Do, and fighting in the King of Fighters tournament. However,
Chang never loses hopes that he will be free again and begin his crime life
again, but when he always expresses his mind, he always gets caught by Kim and a
subsequent beating. It seems Chang won't be a free man anytime sooner!
While enduring the harsh training with Kim, Chang was surprised by the
arrival of a man that was once the training partner of Kim: Jhun Hoon. His bad-ass
attitude made it seem that Chang would finally have someone aside him (besides
Choi). However, it seems Jhun shares the same ideals as Kim, but marked with his
own tone of violence and cruelty! It seems that the punishment for Chang would be
never-ending! And it will soon get worst, as Chang is assigned to Kim at the end of
the fifth King of Fighters tournament, in order to settle the personal difference
between Kim and Jhun regarding which justice method is best.
Chang is a joyful man, always seeing the bright side of things, and
laughing at them. However, his life with Kim has left him very sad, and though
he thinks Kim is a boring man, there's nothing he can do to avoid it! Chang is
also very reluctant to keeping his mouth shut, and when he always talks ill of
Kim, it's always in the wrong moment, earning him and Choi a swift beating.
Chang cherishes his friendship with Choi, and both pass most of the time
planning their escape when they're not training.
*Fun fact = What CAN'T you find funny about Chang? Patting his stomach, cleaning
his iron ball with his shirt while humming, moving his belly, picking his
nose...you sure will get a laugh out of this man! And his constant humming
through the fights also sounds so funny!
*Cloth changes = In KOF '94/'95, he wears a grey outift, possibly his prison
uniform. In KOF '96, Kim gives him and Choi uniforms similiar to that he wears.
