Here comes the drop from the East — introducing the 
Seoul faction: “Neon Temple Crew”
Cyber-dojang style with temple-core aesthetics + underground rhythm strike squads. This squad brings a blade-dance of neon silence, powered by Seoul’s hip-hop han, old-world precision, and glitch-future war culture.
NEON TEMPLE CREW – Seoul, South Korea
Crew Name: Neon Temple Crew
Motto: “We don’t dodge the rhythm. We become it.”
Origin: Dongdaemun night alleys, temple ruins repurposed into rhythm-training crypts, with abandoned karaoke rooms now used for beat training and sword sync battles.
Style & Music
- Street Rhythm: Trap han (한) — moody Korean lo-fi + K-trap beats with court music textures
- BPM Range: 82–95 — builds slow like a temple bell, then cuts sharp like a neon blade
- Sample Base: Samulnori drums, vinyl drop scratches, monk chants reversed in glitch
Fighting Style:
“Silent Flow Arts” — a hybrid of:
- Taekkyeon footwork (fluid, bouncing rhythm)
- Street K-pop freestyle + explosive low-ground break kicks
- Blade-dance syncs: Short-blade slashes to match downbeats
- Echo-step dodging — tapping rhythm plates with their soles mid-combo to reset beat chains
DNA + Fantasy Power-Up
Real DNA Roots:
- Han: a deep emotional charge tied to memory and pain, central in Korean identity
- Silent movement arts from traditional martial dance + urban idol training regimens
Fantasy Boost:
“Neon Mirage Seal” –
They place a glowing talisman on the ground mid-combo. The talisman creates ghostly clones that repeat your last 2 seconds of movement in reverse. Enemies hit by the echo get rhythm-locked, losing control of their body to the beat for 1 bar.
Language & Street Slang
- “개쩐다 (gae-jjeon-da)” — lit / crazy good
- “노잼 (no-jaem)” — boring, dead vibe
- “핵인싸 (haek-inssa)” — the ultimate insider
- “형님 / 언니 vibes” — crew culture = honor w/ edge
- Shouts mid-fight:
- “이거지!” – That’s it!
- “템플 리듬 들어간다!” – Temple rhythm inbound!

Anthem Snippet (Opening Theme)
“From temple stone to neon dome,
We glide on rhythm, built from home.
No fame, just flame in Seoul’s deep beat,
When the bass drops — enemies delete.”
