Ha Jinsung

Ha Jinsung (하 진성, Ha Jin-Sung) is a High Ranker of the Ha Family and worked as a martial arts teacher for FUG. He is a direct descendant of the Family Head, Ha Yurin. He is from the third generation line and Yurin is literally his grandmother.

Sobriquet
Unlike most High Rankers Fisherman in the Tower who received special nickname based on wild and strong Shinheuh, for example Urek Mazino's sobriquet is Barracuda, Jinsung's sobriquet was taken directly from his notorious crime for annihilating his entire family line, he was called the "Slaughterer of the Ha Family".

Appearance and Personality
Ha Jinsung is a tall, slender man with brown hair and brown eyes. He is approximately half a head taller than Viole. Jinsung has a perm which most people find cheap and funny.

Jinsung has a carefree and fun-loving attitude, although this also serves as a mask to hide his true intentions. Since meeting Baam, his character has mellowed slightly to the point where he feels regret at the FUG's treatment of Baam. According to Hwa Ryun, he respects Viole's decision to stay with Team Tangsooyook.

Notes and Trivia

 * He is higher up in the Ha Family tree than Ha Yuri Zahard. Later, SIU revealed that Jinsung is the grandson of Ha Yurin, the head of Ha Family. Yuri is the great granddaughter.
 * Ha Jinsung joined FUG because his girlfriend was sold to a member of a branch of the Ha Family. After he annihilated the entire branch, he held grudges on the Great Families.
 * As Khun Maschenny Zahard noted, even as a FUG member, Jinsung still maintains great status, having known the 10 Family Heads directly and Zahard, making him different even compared to the famed war heroes sealed in the Wall of Peaceful Coexistence, which made finding the right prison for him difficult.
 * He is not a Slayer, but he teaches the Slayers. Karaka is one of his students.
 * He is ranked within the top 100 (High) Rankers, hence why he is very strong.
 * He is allowed to interfere with Regulars to some degree, while most Rankers would be executed.
 * At first, SIU wanted Jinsung to look like the main protagonist of a noir film, but he just ended up being a gag character with a perm. So he has become a very strong character who is just a friendly neighborhood old guy for Baam.
 * SIU said that, excluding Yuri and Mazino, he was the strongest "person" (most likely not including Guardians) Baam had met as of Season 2 Chapter 155. When asked on twitter to clarify if this meant Yuri was stronger than Jinsung, SIU replied "That's not it^^ Jinsung is still higher in the ranking, for now."
 * Jinsung buys clothes for Viole every season, much to Viole's chagrin.
 * He likes looking after kids.
 * As a martial artist, his level is above Kallavan.
 * The fight between Jinsung and Kallavan is a great battle of two High Rankers, to be recorded in the history of the Tower.
 * SIU describes Ha Jinsung during the Battle of the Nest as having gotten slightly weaker due to his arms still being damaged, but he is still a formidable High Ranker, especially in close combat. He also stated that Jinsung may be susceptible to Kallavan's max-level defense, along with being vulnerable to Shinwonryu and Arie Swordsmanship, but his specific skills and matchups means he will be able to easily handle enemies even Kallavan have a hard time with in single combat.
 * He calls Wangnan, "Wangnang".
 * He asked Wangnan if he used Twitter and Wangnan said no.
 * He tells Wangnan to buy him cigarettes. Wangnan returns with lollipops instead. In his next appearances, Jinsung is seen eating the lollipops instead of smoking cigarettes.
 * As the lollipops were Chupa Chups (as commented on by Jinsung), this was a reference to their 1980's ad campaign, featuring slogans like "Smoke Chupa Chups" and "Stop smoking, start sucking". This is in line with SIU's other reference to older candies, which were the prize in the 28th Floor test.
 * Jinsung owns many houses.
