Park Yeon-Jin
Park Yeon-Jin is the main villain among the characters in The Glory. She led the group of bullies, guiding their violent acts in school. Her parents are wealthy and influential. As an adult, she’s married to Do-Yeong and has a daughter, Ye-Sol. However, Ye-Sol’s biological father is Jeon Jae-Jun.
Jeon Jae-Jun
Jeon Jae-Jun is one of the boys inside the group of bullies. He comes from a wealthy family and gives orders to Son Myeong-O, the other boy in the group, who normally executes the violent acts.

Choi Hye-Jeong
Choi Hye-Jeong is the last girl in the group of bullies. She seems less involved in the violence, and as an adult, she begs Dong-Eun for forgiveness.
