Some comments said that Ein is originally from Germany or somewhere around there...
It's not that deep
i'm not disputing that. I was simply wondering if the author did in fact do research or just came up with all of this on the fly enough that there wouldn't be any plot holes in future chapters, because taking this at face value this doesn't make any sense. Then again why question a story with wolf/men after all too? Plus this author's other work Momentum looked to be seriously researched and made with a clear direction that while fictional was very realistic in its approach, so I question if this work too is just as detailed.
That's because Ein is German. He's not Korean. He only went to S. Korea to escape. You really are overthinking it. We don't even know if Ein is a cop. He could be a spy or an agent.
He is german. He's now in Korea and protected by the cop there. It's said when hé meets the director of the course at the market if I remember well. And his name is german as well since it's said in the beginning that Ein means One in german.
And seems like that woman is used to work with the German's organisation to protect undercover cops.
he works for Interpol (international police)
It’s exactly as Stupide-Renard said, Ein is not originally from Korea. If you go back and read the chapter where he’s having the coversation with the director and pay attention to what they’re saying, it should clear things up for you.
Even if he was Korean, have you ever heard of Korean Germans? Asian people live all over the world. :U
I know you mentioned it in your comment, but you made it sound like he would be racist. I don't think the author would include that kind of theme into his or her work. Native Europeans can be just as suspicious.
yes I think he is undercover interpol from Germany
I'm truly truly confused how Ein is a Korean based cop undercover in Germany investigating an Eastern European mob boss and his illegal activities? Ein has no jurisdiction and this is never properly explained or reasoned and somehow I can't get past this plot point. Did the author simply take liberties or is properly researched to allow an international criminal investigation feasible. Plus even while "undercover"Ein does all these "no no's" that no seasoned officer would ever do as they would implicate him severely at least from the view of an overseeing superior properly running this investigation. Secondly while I know it is not exactly necessary to the plot how did Ein even get his close to Yanek and gain his confidence? We have no proper explanation. Is Ein a master of disguise, enough to mask a likely accent and suspicion of his origin? I mean there can of course be Korean born Germans or immigrants as an explanation, but I feel Yanek would be the sort of man that would be cautious of anyone let alone not a native European. I know Ein is suppose to be mysterious but there's mysterious and then there's well doesn't seem possible you know what I mean. I'm not even going to touch the whole Ein, Diesel, Yanek argument because that's already confusing me.
