Active primarily in the West side of Falls Bay, ATEEZ was founded by Kim Minhyuk in 1949. In the aftermath of the Great Depression and Second World War, Falls Bay had become an economic wasteland, with few job opportunities and far too many residents.

 

Minhyuk was consumed with ideas of injustice and revenge. The government that had forsaken them continued to demand taxes, reform - things that were difficult to accomplish in the climate of poverty. With the aid of a few other families of Falls Bay, Minhyuk established the gang and slowly began restoring the town's businesses.

 

Most of the methods they employed were, in effect, illegal. But what they achieved through them was worth far more than whatever punishment the government may have inflicted upon them. The gang, nevertheless, remained relatively inconspicuous and humble - until leadership of the gang fell to Minhyuk's son, Bong-hwa. That was when the dynamics of the game began to change.
