Team Tangsooyook

Team Tangsooyook also known as "Team Sweet & Sour" was formed after 7 Regulars passed the The Trustworthy Room Test on the 20th Floor.

Those 7 Regulars are Ja Wangnan, Kang Horyang, Yeon Yihwa, Hon Akraptor, Prince, Yeo Goseng and Yeo Miseng.

History
When Ja Wangnan stole the remote from Ranker Mule Love, he switched the USB connector on that remote with his own in order to tricked Jyu Viole Grace to accept 7 of them as teammates.

At first, Viole was unwilling to have anyone climb the Tower with him, due to the nature of his contract with FUG, although he eventually bonded with Wangnan and the others. The team continued to stay together after two years, from the 20th Floor through to the 29th Floor.

After passing a test on the 29F, Goseng found out about Beniamino Cassano through the "BOX", which is an informative website accessible by Light Bearers. The team discovered that he was Horyang's brother. Horyang explained about their first meeting as human experiment survivors for The Workshop's research on living ignition weapons. Cassano and Horyang had met a gentle hearted researcher named Sophia, who treated them like humans unlike the other reasearchers of The Workshop. She taught them how to read and write, and gave them names instead of numbers. However, Sophia stopped visiting them, and Cassano and Horyang found themselves forcefully and painfully merged with a devil soon after, both becoming the devil's left and right arms.

Horyang was soon after seperated from Cassano and taken somewhere else, where he witnessed the fall of snow for the first time and marvelled at its beauty, wishing to live longer. He became a regular in the tower and met Wangnan upon reaching the 20F.

Horyang told team Sweet & Sour that he will go to where Cassano was sighted on the BOX, which they agreed to, excited to meet Horyang's brother. Horyang called Viole out to the roof before leaving, and asked if he were a survivor of the same experiment he underwent in The Workshop. The two teammates traded blows—Viole's reluctant—while Horyang inquired about FUG's involvement with The Workshop. Viole confessed that he wasn't experimented on, and not knowing about The Workshop's plans with FUG. Horyang expressed guilt for attacking Viole unprovoked, and told him that he was aware that this may be a trap, which is Horyang didn't want to risk the team's safety, and also why he may not come back. He was grateful to Sweet & Sour for treating him with care and humanity, saying that they're his family, and even comparing them to what he felt when he first witnessed his first snowfall. He bid Viole farewell and left on the floating ship.

Viole overheard Sweet & Sour planning to surprise Horyang when he returns with Cassano by wearing matching outfits, and decided to follow Horyang after the rest of the team went to sleep. He got caught by Miseng who was carrying a blanket for a sleeping Goseng. Miseng expressed her anxiousness about Horyang not coming back, worrying he may be taken away for experiments again. Viole reassured her, saying that Horyang will be back home safe, and sent his now comforted teammate to bed. Viole covered Goseng with Miseng's blanket and set outside to follow Horyang with a floating ship.

Viole was stopped by Arkraptor, who asked him if Horyang escaped in secret. Viole justified Horyang's actions, saying he left to keep them safe. Arkraptor tried to dissuade Viole from following Horyang, saying that maybe he truly wanted to leave, but Viole disagreed. He thought that Horyang was perhaps waiting for someone to save him from the dark—this was a reference to how Rachel saved him from the cave—and expressed his opinion to Arkraptor, saying he will bring Horyang back home, and took off on the floating ship.

Wangnan appeared from inside one of the recycling bins, and told Arkraptor that they, too, should go after the other two. He thought that Viole's opinion implied to a degree that Horyang wanted to be with Team Sweet & Sour, but couldn't bring himself to endanger them, which is why they must go after them. Prince appeared from the recycling bin next to Wangnan, and encouraged Arkraptor that that was the best decision, further quelling his doubts on the matter. Yihwa emerged from the dark, saying she will get a floating ship they can use from her family, adding that she doesn't go to sleep unless Viole does.

Viole progressed through The Hand of Arlen with a Light Bearer he hired, named Xia Xia, who assisted him in avoiding all the traps. Upon entering The Hand of Arlen, Viole saw Horyang's body on the ground bleeding out. The blood was staining a teddy bear shirt he had in his backpack, which was a gift from Miseng. Viole submitted himself to his rage, and attacked Ran and Novick, who Xia Xia confirmed as the ones who attacked Horyang. Ran and Novick were overpowered by Viole, and confessed that they in fact didn't kill Horyang, and it was the other devil's right arm.

Khun Aguero Agnis entered The Hand and Xia Xia revealed she was cooperating with FUG, and spoke on Viole's stead, saying that this incident was orchestrated to kill Khun. She blew up The Hand despite Viole's protests. Viole was taken by FUG along with Ran, Novick, and Horyang.

Khun managed to survive the explosion and was later found by Wangnan, Arkraptor, Prince, and Yihwa, who were seeking to bring Viole and Horyang back home. Khun decided to lead the team to victory in the 30F Workshop Battle so they can bring back Viole from FUG, and save Horyang from The Workshop.

Khun and his teammate, Edin Dan trained team Sweet & Sour for two months in preparation for The Workshop Battle. After a sleepless night, the team passed their test and earned the invitation to the 30F Workshop Battle.

During the game of One Shot, One Opportunity, team Sweet & Sour were separated, which spiked Wangnan's worry about their younger teammates, Prince and Miseng. After sending Goseng and Arkraptor up to the Archimedes, Wangnan begged Khun to find Prince and Miseng. Khun agreed, saying that he will find them, but Wangnan has to be the one to save them. Prince and Miseng were captured by Verdi, who rendered them unconscious and was playing with them. Horyang appeared out of nowhere and towered before Verdi, who was ordered by her team leader, Shibisu, to retreat. When Verdi told Horyang she was leaving and taking Prince and Miseng with her, Wangnan emerged from his hiding spot and charged at Verdi, getting knocked away by her octopus. Verdi made her departure, and Wangnan greeted Horyang. Horyang apologized for leaving without a word, saying he can't eat sweet and sour pork with them anymore.

During the Plug Battle of The Workshop Battle, Wangnan and Arkraptor charged with the intention to save Prince and Miseng, and were surprised at the sight of Prince's face filled with bruises. Prince told them to get away from Miseng, who had apparently lost her mind. Miseng's physical strength was amplified and she was mercilessly sweeping all players off the base. Prince informed Wangnan and Arkraptor about the flower Verdi gave them, which was said to make one stronger. Miseng used the flower because she lamented her weakness and powerlessness at Horyang and Viole being taken away. Arkraptor told Prince that he was better in the past when he was full of himself, and has now become so pathetic that he can't even beat a little girl. This enraged Prince, who battled it out with Miseng, laughing hysterically when he managed to block one of her hits, saying that she'll never get strong. This set off Miseng, and the moment of agitation was taken by Arkraptor to swipe the flower from her head. Prince sympathized with the barely conscious Miseng, assuring he won't leave her behind.

During the Archimedes Party, Horyang was set up by Prince and Miseng to dance with Goseng. Horyang confessed to Goseng about his meeting with Sophia, and how she hasn't stopped the living ignition weapon experiments and how she even 'completed one'. Horyang lamented about Sophia not genuinely loving him and Cassano, and her tender care towards them was all a procedure to complete the experiment. Horyang later walked Goseng home, and asked if he could return to the team after The Workshop Battle was over.

During the Final Battle, Wangnan resorted to summoning Viole and was stabbed in the heart by the living ignition weapon, Beta. Despite this, Wangnan was able to summon Viole, and swiftly taken to the medic by Rak Wraithraiser. Viole defeated Beta and charged to find Reflejo who had taken Horyang, Novick, and Hwa Ryun as hostages, and formed a trap to kill Viole and turn him into an ignition weapon. Xia Xia decided to betray FUG and revealed to the locations of the hostages to Yihwa and Arkraptor.

After winning The Workshop Battle, team Sweet & Sour among others were rescued by the Wolhaiksong. Yihwa was by Wangnan's bedside and noticed his ring that had Jahad's three-eyed eyed crest, but resorted to staying quiet. It was later revealed to her by Hwa Ryun the Wangnan is the biggest mistake Zahard and the 10 Great Family Leaders made. After inspecting Horyang, Sophia informed the team that he was in a comatose state, due the 'Devil' that Cassano took from his right arm. Sophia revealed that they must retrieve the devil's right arm from Cassano so that Horyang will wake up.

Team Sweet & Sour (which has now lost a member following Viole's reunion with Khun and Rak) soon separated for a year in order to train to achieve the strength level required for surviving in the Hell Express. Prince, Arkraptor and Miseng appeared in order to assist Beta, Ran, and Aka's Team in defeating the Hell Train Guardian. Miseng used her observer to find the Guardian's weak point, who was finished off by Ran.

Khun showed up at the station alongside Yihwa and Wangnan, who set to work on teaming up against Cassano. Wangnan received items from Sophia to weaken Cassano, and Yihwa kept engulfing him in flames. Cassano was about to escape with Team Rachel, so Khun turned to the last minute option. He brought out the White Heavenly Mirror and stabbed Wangnan and Yihwa in their hearts. Khun, with Ran's assistance, threw the White Heavenly Mirror inside the train, narrowly nicking Rachel with the blade.

Wangnan and Yihwa escaped the White Heavenly Mirror, and resorted to look for Hwa Ryun, who was captured as a hostage by Team Rachel. They encountered Hoaqin, who thought them to be his followers. Wangnan's arm was nearly slashed off by Hoaqin, and the duo ended up being captured by Team Rachel.

When Team Rachel and Team Baam were battling minutes before the departure of the Hell Express, the train conductor, Pedro, proposed a match where Hoaqin and Baam fight for the slayer nominee title. Baam refused, saying he's no longer affiliated with FUG, but was forced to participate as the train conductor captured Prince, Arkraptor, and Miseng as hostages.

Wangnan and Yihwa managed to escape their confinement room briefly before the Dallar Show began. The teammates met Hoaqin's brother, Vicente. Vicente requested they lead him to Hoaqin, to which Wangnan and Yihwa reluctantly agreed. Vicente later told them that he was hungry, arousing the assumption in them that he feeds on souls like Hoaqin does. Vicente quelled their concerns by saying he wanted nothing but snacks. Yihwa possessed banana chips that she was carrying around for Rak, and gave them to Vicente. Later, Vicente, protected them from Hoaqin, saying he won't allow him to harm his friends, who assisted him when he was hungry. Upon finding out that Vicente wanted to kill Viole and reclaim the slayer nominee title, Wangnan trapped Vicente in the White Heavenly Mirror, and escaped from Hoaqin with Yihwa, Rak, and Bero's Team. Vicente spoke to Wangnan through the White Heavenly Mirror, saying that his feelings were hurt by Wangnan's actions, promising he won't harm Viole, and saying his only target was Hoaqin. Daniel Hatchid appeared before them after Wangnan freed Vicente, proposing a deal. He would tell them where Hoaqin's other brother was, and in exchange, Vicente had to prevent him from becoming complete.

During the Dallar Show, Yihwa faced off with Angel. Angel wanted to see what power the 10 Great Families had to offer. Seeing that Yihwa wasn't attacking her back, Angel speared and killed Hongjo to provoke her, stomping on his dead body as an insult to injury. Yihwa lost control of her powers in fury, attacking Angel with raging hot flames. Yihwa nearly burnt Angel to death, if not for Bero who shook her out of her stupor. Meanwhile, Wangnan and Vicente were sneaking up on Hoaqin, who instantly noticed their presence, and began attacking Vicente, leaving no room for outside interference. David, Hoaqin's brother, had possessed Wangnan's body, and was trying to trap Hoaqin's soul in the White Heavenly Mirror, while Vicente was fighting him head on. Their plans failed, and Hoaqin successfully consumed Vicente, David, and his little sister, Anna.

During the final round of the Dallar Show, Prince was trapped inside the submarine, crying out for Viole to save him. Baam descended on the 30 Dallar mark, successfully saving Prince, who was bemoaning the humiliation of being the only who was so terrified of dying. Arkraptor was soon strapped into the submarine, Hoaqin announcing that he will go down on the 20 Dallar mark, daring Baam to go after him. The two descended at 20 Dallars and fought on the way down, Hoaqin letting Baam go halfway, and then surprising him with an attack from behind as soon as Khun opened the submarine door. Arkraptor shielded Baam from the attack with his body, and would've died if not for the Clone's interference, saving them and deciding she would assist Baam instead of Hoaqin. Miseng was locked into the submarine soon after, and Hoaqin and Baam jumped down on the 20 Dallar mark, both planning to end the game then. Hoaqin was overpowered by Baam, who saved Miseng from the boiling acid at the last moment.

After the teams were rescued by Ha Yuri Zahard, Wangnan reemerged from the White Heavenly Mirror, and was lamenting his uselessness in not being able to stop Hoaqin or capture Cassano. Hwa Ryun came to warn Wangnan about an upcoming crisis; that so long as he stays on the train, one member of team Sweet & Sour is guaranteed to die. Wangnan's anxieties overtook, and he decided that they'll stop traveling with Baam, get Cassano, and get off the train as soon as possible. He told Yihwa to get off the train with Baam and assist him while they get Cassano.

Getting off the train with Baam was troublesome for Yihwa, almost immediately being defeated by Arie Inieta and captured as hostage by Kaiser, along with Rak and Hong Danhwa. Then, when boarding the train again, Yihwa sacrificed herself so Baam could get on the train. Yihwa, Rak, and Danhwa were engulfed with Yuri's Rose Shower that was directed towards Karaka, and were caught up in the shockwave, ending up presumably dead.

Meanwhile, Wangnan, Arkraptor, Prince, and Miseng laid out a trap for Cassano in the Hell Express. Prince and Miseng earned Hoaqin's good graces to get him on their side and have a higher advantage over Cassano. Hoaqin, Prince, and Miseng were locked inside a room, luring Cassano in with Hoaqin's enraged shouts and threats. Wangnan stood in Cassano's way confidently, successfully injecting him with a drug to knock Cassano's devil out, getting flung and beaten mercilessly in an instant. Wangnan brought out a ball that could contain Cassano, given to him by Sophia, saying he'll bring him back to Horyang if it's the last thing he does. When Wangnan provoked Cassano by saying he'll get discarded by FUG sooner or later, Cassano stomped on the ball, smashing it along with Wangnan's hand, once again beating him senseless and leaving him nearly dead surrounded by the shards of the ball and his own blood. As soon as Cassano was losing his footing because of the drug, Arkraptor stepped in and attacked him. Arkraptor, enraged at seeing Wangnan's state, claimed he held himself back repeatedly so as to not break his promise with Wangnan. He produced the real ball that Sophia gave them, the one Cassano previously destroyed being nothing more than a trap. Arkraptor trapped Cassano inside the ball, and rushed to check on Wangnan. Arkraptor carried Wangnan on his back and made his way to the room that Prince and Miseng were locked in with Hoaqin. Rachel and Ha Yura appeared when Arkraptor turned away from Wangnan, taking him hostage. Arkraptor gave up his weapon to Rachel, as well as the password to open the door. Inside the room, Miseng was worrying about Wangnan, to which Prince responded that he'll never die. Hoaqin received the password to the door through Emile. Hoaqin asked Prince and Miseng which of the two of them should he eat. Hoaqin said that he only needed one of them, and was conflicted on who to eat. Outside, Arkraptor told Yura to free Wangnan, now that he's given them the password. Rachel told Arkraptor they needed a 'single life' to use on the floor of death, and opted to take Wangnan's. Arkraptor ordered them to kill him instead of Wangnan, telling him to take care of Prince and Miseng, and charged towards Rachel's weapon. Hoaqin reemerged from the room, Miseng close by his side, professing he ate Prince. Prince had given himself up to him, so that Miseng could live. The two remaining members of team Sweet and Sour were taken hostage by Team Rachel.

Due to the circumstances that occurred in the Hell Express, the team has been disbanded. However, following Wangnan and Miseng's reunion with Goseng and the now conscious Horyang, and the confirmation of Yihwa being alive, it's a common and rather hopeful speculation that Team Sweet & Sour may start being active again.

Notes and Trivia
''This is a fried pork (usually pork, can be some other type of meat) covered with the usual flour + egg coating. Then it's overlayed with sweet and sour sauce that's also got some veggies like apple, onions, and bell pepper (usually). These can often be ordered in party size.''
 * One interesting aspect of this team is that several members either wish to change the status quo of the Tower (Viole, Wangnan, Horyang and Akraptor) or clean up the corruption of the 10 Great Families (Yihwa).
 * Team Sweet & Sour are said to be a family. This was said by Horyang and Arkraptor, and was soon confirmed by SIU : Rather than gathering to fight, growing closer to each other after travelling together. [...] The reason for team Wangnan seeming to be 'lacking' is probably that although they feel like a family, they are still hiding their pasts and affiliations from each other.
 * It is interesting to note that this team's 'deaths' were their attempts to protect each other. Yihwa sacrificed herself for Baam, Prince sacrificed himself for Miseng, and Arkraptor sacrificed himself for Wangnan.
 * Prince and Miseng's relationship developed to that akin to an older brother and his younger sister.
 * It is implied that this team follows the "Team as Family" trope.
 * Tan-soo-yook is described in The Company's translation of Season 2, Chapter 1 as thus:
