The current boss of one of Busan's two major violent organizations is expected to get married this weekend, prompting the police to keep a close watch.


According to the Busan Jungbu Police Station on the 21st, the wedding of Mr. A, the boss of the violent organization Shin 20segi-pa, is scheduled to take place on the 25th at a hotel in Jung-gu.

Shin 20segi-pa is an organization well known to the public as the background of the movie "Friend." This organization was established in the 1980s based around the entertainment districts of Nampo-dong and Jungang-dong in Jung-gu, Busan.


It is analyzed that the scale is quite large when not only Shin 20segi-pa members but also their followers in Busan gather. Also, there are talks that a large number of nationwide organized crime members may gather as the wedding invitation of the current boss, Mr. A, has been distributed nationwide.


A representative of the Busan Jungbu Police Station stated, "We will deploy enough detectives to prepare so that citizens do not feel uneasy."


Meanwhile, Shin 20segi-pa has maintained a rivalry with Chilseong-pa, known as Busan's largest organization, for over 30 years. So-called wars between violent organizations have also taken place between these two groups.



In 2021-2022, the two organizations engaged in brawls at a funeral hall in Busan and in the middle of Seomyeon, resulting in the mass arrest of about 70 people. This is also why the police are on high alert for this wedding.
