[edit] History
[edit] Tekken 2
Baek's father was one of the foremost experts of Tae Kwon Do. During his childhood, he learnt the ways of this martial art and won many tournaments until an injury forced him to quit the sport. This lead Baek's family into terrible poverty and angered Baek. This rage towards his families dissention caused Baek to kill his father after a furious arguement. Grieving and full of remorse, Baek was taken into police custody where he spent most of his childhood. During this time, his Tae Kwon Do skills became legendary as he became totally focused on his fighting prowess; wishing to honour his father. After 3 years, he fled the police home and took to the streets becoming a pit fighter of great strength and a firm audience favourite; striking his opponents again and again to see them reduced to a bloodied mess. Tracked by a secret organisation aware of his past, Baek was coaxed into the assassination of the owner of a property wanted by the group; a certain Marshall Law. Baek was only partly sucessful and enters the second tournament to finish his task and destroy
[edit] Tekken 3
According to the Tekken 3 storyline, Baek was presumed dead after encountering Ogre, the fictional Aztec God of Fighting. One of his closest students, Hwoarang, entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 to exact revenge for his master's death and to have a rematch with Jin Kazama, the only fighter who had ever fought him to a draw.
[edit] Tekken 5
Several male characters from the Tekken 2 lineup returned in Tekken 5, including Baek. According to the Tekken 5 storyline, his encounter with Ogre had left him in a coma, not dead as initially presumed. He woke up over a year later, after Hwoarang had already competed in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3. Baek began teaching Tae Kwon Do at military bases. Hwoarang was drafted into the South Korean Military, but he ran away to compete in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. When he was arrested by the South Korean Military Police, he was informed that Baek was alive.
Two months later, Hwoarang completed his service, and Baek asked him to enter The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Baek also entered the tournament to test his student's skills.
[edit] Tekken 6
Baek entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, along with his disciple, Hwoarang. However, Baek withdrew from the tournament when he found out that Hwoarang lost to Devil Jin, and he was seriously injured. Baek then rushed to the hospital to visit Hwoarang. Although Hwoarang's condition wasn't considered as something serious after his treatment, Hwoarang wouldn't wake up, and Baek started blaming himself for being an inadequate instructor. It took Hwoarang three days to regain consciousness. They discussed the details, and Hwoarang told Baek that he not only has to recover, but he has to strengthen himself even further. Baek sensed his strong will and his unprecedented modesty, and hence he decided to teach him everything he knows. Baek and Hwoarang returned to Korea, and endeavoured to practice intensely. Eventually, the announcement of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 came from the Mishima Zaibatsu, and Baek decides to enter the tournament one last time to widen his personal experience-collection.
