Research Association

The Research Association (연구회, yeongoohweh) (also known as the Gustang's Research Association) is a very powerful and exclusive group, whose members enjoy high reputation and fame, matched only by the "Chosen Children of Koon".

The members of the Association are likely chosen from the males of the Bidau family. Those who fail to become a "chosen member" of the Association are eventually kicked out from the Family.

The requirements for becoming a member of the Association are unknown; it is unknown if the females of the Bidau family are allowed to join, or if one must be a ranker to be selected.
