God-level Bodyguard in The City c22

[1] 棒子 history time~ 棒子(stick) is an abbreviation of 高丽棒子(Goryeo Stick). During the Second Sino-Japanese War(called “The War of Aggression Against China” in China apparently I would say it’s one-sided biased but honestly it’s an accurate description), there were a lot of Goryeo( North and South Korea when they were still one country) people serving in the Japanese army( Korea/Goryeo was a subordinate state at the time). They often had sticks in their hands to “maintain law and order”. Using said sticks they did a lot of horrible things(to those familiar with Singapore history, think of the Japanese reign during World War 2 just worse by 2 or 3 times). And so, China people hate(d) Goryeo people and call(ed) them “Goryeo Sticks”. Nowadays, China People( specifically referring to China Chinese not Singaporean Chinese or Malaysian Chinese or ABCs” and Koreans interact a lot more, and some don’t like Koreans or just wanna insult them, so those people call them 棒子.
