[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] As the 80th birthday party of the former boss of the Chilsungpa, a violent organization that inspired the movie Friend, is set to be held at a hotel in Busan, the Busan police have gone on high alert. The police are preparing for any possible incidents.


According to the Busan Police Agency on the 20th, the 80th birthday party of Mr. A, the former boss of the Chilsungpa, will be held at a hotel in Busan on the afternoon of the 23rd.


The venue for the 80th birthday party has about 300 seats, and it is known that hundreds of guests, including current and former gangsters from across the country, will attend.


Mr. A has long retired from frontline activities, so mainly elder gangsters are expected to attend, but the police anticipate that many active members will also be present.


The current number of Chilsungpa members in the Busan area is estimated to be around 100.


The police plan to deploy detectives and manage the situation in preparation for the possibility that gangsters may cause discomfort to citizens or engage in violent acts.



The Chilsungpa has clashed with another violent organization in Busan, the Shin 20th Century faction, causing numerous violent incidents over power struggles.
