Ja Wangnan is one of the main protagonists of Tower of God: Part 2 - The Return of the Prince. He aspires to be the king of the whole Tower. Officially, the Zahard Family has no Prince and Wangnam's exact relation to Zahard is unknown, yet many fans speculate that Wangnan is the "the "Prince of Zahard". In Season 2 Chapter 35, Hwa Ryun refers to Wangnan as the "Prince of the Red Light District" (홍등가의 왕자, Hongdeunga-eui Wangja). However, it is unknown what Hwa Ryun exactly meant.

He values his determination in life more than anyone else's desires. He plans to scale up The Tower's Floors and reach the true top of the Tower, unlike those who have given up.

Notes & Trivia

 * The Shinsoo Bombs Wangnan uses look like Pokéballs from the Pokémon series, Dive Balls in particular.
 * He is horrible at strength tests. He's 15th in the Shinsoo Strengthening Competition. Also interesting to note, he's worse than Nia when it comes to shinsoo strength.
 * His name read backwards, actually means (Nan-"I am") (Wangja-"prince").
 * In Season 2 Chapter 35 Hwa Ryun refers to Ja Wangnan as "the Prince of the Red Light District" or "the Prince of Red Ligh Family" (홍등가의 왕자, Hongdeunga-eui Wangja). However, it is unknown what Hwa Ryun exactly meant. As of the moment, either of translation is unconfirmed until SIU reveals which he meant. (Note that Red Light District is an existing Korean word, so the former have higher chance of being right.)
 * As shops in red light districts have girls on display, former could be an insult against Zahard's Family, as people often figuratively say that Zahard puts his Princesses on display.
 * Former could also literally mean that Wangnan is an illegitimate son of Zahard.
 * Latter could mean he is a child from a family that is not yet shown.
 * Karaka wears the same ring as Wangnan.
