"If it's within my power to do something that'll make her day a little brighter, then I'll do it. Because that is the path I must take."
— Mangi Hwang in Episode 38


Mangi Hwang (황만기, Hwang Man-gi) is a supporting character of How to Fight/Viral Hit.

Appearance[]

Hwang Mangi is an 18 year old with a bulky frame with black "hair" (he's secretly bald) no lower than 6'7". He has an incredibly large torso fit for Ssireum and huge arms.

Personality[]

Mangi is a friendly and sincere friend to those who know him. He seems a bit creepy and stalky to onlookers, but as his story and reasoning was seen by the Newtube audience, he was eventually seen as a big lovable teddy bear. He lives up to this reputation but also knows when to get serious.

History[]

Mangi started balding around the age of 16, and he was very self conscious of it. He took on ssireum so he could be popular with the girls, but he realized that girls only like the lighter weight classes, and instead thought of him as scary and fat. Mangi began taking advice from pick up artists on how to attract women, which he paid for with his match winnings, but he had no success. Mangi started a Newtube channel in hopes of impressing people and finding a girlfriend, but with his hair loss being exposed he feared his channel is over. However, Mangi ends up having many fans sympathize with his plight, leading to him starting his own hair loss NewTube channel.[1]

Fighting Prowess[]

Mangi in the beginning was a Ssireum prodigy. He has only grown since then. His style, Ssireum is a martial art / sport similar to wrestling. These specific fighters use grappling tactics to take down their opponent resulting a slam. As Hwang is a champion of Ssireum it is safe to assume he is near the peak of what Ssireum athletes can do. He has also learned the fundamentals of boxing as a result of losing to Han Wangguk even though he had superior power. He has learned basic jabs and combined with his monstrous strength, results in one of the best fighters in the series.
