Secretary Kim is a Korean B-Rank hunter who serves as the loyal aide to Lee Minsung, the Fiend Guild's deputy leader. Sharp-minded and unscrupulous, he handles the guild's corrupt dealings until Beast King Crow cuts him down.
No physical description of Kim is given in the source material.
A devoted sycophant, Kim stays genuinely loyal to his demanding employer Lee Minsung. The flattery conceals a sharp intellect, and much of what Minsung presents as his own reasoning in fact begins with his secretary. Kim excels at building arguments around a listener's sense of duty while quietly bending events toward the guild's gain. Once persuasion fails him, he turns without hesitation to hostages to force the result he is after.
Serving as Lee Minsung's personal secretary, Kim stood at the heart of the guild's corrupt pact with the Hyena Guild, the supplier of the Fiend Guild's Stardust, and he acted as the link between both parties. In the Retesting Rank Arc he relayed that every Hyena Guild member who had entered the Magog Field turned up dead, slain by hunter weapons rather than magic beasts. Brushing aside Kim's skepticism, Minsung insisted the masked Beast King Crow had to be a demon, then took credit for Kim's own deduction about demon blood and werewolf transformations. Minsung set him to find the Stardust factory, suspected to be the Magog Field, and to ready meat for trade with the demons, scolding him as well for failing to recruit Dr. Min Byung-Gyu.
The Korean Hunters Association had designated a hospital for Class Rank testing, and there Kim later approached Dr. Min Byung-Gyu to draw him into the Fiend Guild's Stardust research. Refusing outright, the doctor stressed that his research served ordinary people rather than the agendas of large guilds. Kim countered that the guild could make Stardust legal and shield the world, then leaned on the looming menace of Beast King Crow, yet neither line of pressure moved Byung-Gyu. With every option spent, Kim resorted to a threat against the doctor's wife, whom Minsung's loyalists had already abducted. The moment he pressed to force cooperation, Beast King Crow ambushed him from behind.

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....

Five Bleach female characters, ranked and settled. Yoruichi sits at number five, the spot nobody expects, and our number one is an Arrancar with a soft heart....
