The Chijon Family (Korean: 지존파); or Jijon Family) was a South Korean gang active between 1993 and 1994. The gang was founded by Kim Gi-hwan, a former convict, and six other former prisoners and unemployed workers who shared his grudge against the rich. 'Chijon' is a name given to the gang by prosecutors working on the case — Kim had originally named his gang the Mascan, apparently believing the word to be of Greek origin and to signify 'ambition', though no Greek word of similar meaning and pronunciation can be identified.[1]
