North Korean Mafia hitmen

Three cars of North Korean Mafia hitmen in New York City, 2008

The Korean Mob is a Korean-American organized crime syndicate based in Fort Lee and Jersey City, New Jersey. The Korean Mob was founded by Park Young-guk, a North Korean mob boss who sent his son Kim Young-guk to set up counterfeiting and drug dealing operations in the United States in 2008. Not long after Kim's arrival, the Korean Mob grew to be a very powerful criminal organization which engaged in drug dealing operations across North Jersey and the New York City metropolitan area. The gang was supplied drugs by the Triads and allied with the Spanish Lords, while it became rivals with the Gambetti crime family and the Dominican ND3 gang. Although the majority of its members were North Koreans like Kim Young-guk, it also incorporated South Korean and Korean-American members, and it came to have hundreds of enforcers and associates. In 2008, the same year as the gang's inception, Kim was murdered by Niko Bellic at Mr. Fuk's Rice Box on the orders of Gravelli, and the gang suffered severe personnel and financial losses due to frequent attacks on their drug deals, stashes, and transports by Luis Fernando Lopez, Armando Torres, and Henrique Bardas; their new boss On Tae-Won was among the dead.
