Trivia
- The gang may also incorporate South Korean and Korean-American members, supported by the fact that several of their gang members speak with American accents.
- During the Drug Wars side mission in TBOGT, the Korean Mob is one of the gangs Luis and the others can steal drugs from.
- The Korean Mob are possibly based on jopok (Korean:조폭, short for "jojikpokryeokbae, Korean:조직폭력배)", means "organized crime" in English) or Kkangpae (Korean:깡패), Korean mobsters or street thugs. However, these terms are used in South Korea, while the Korean Mob are said to have originated from North Korea.
- More than likely, the Korean Mob are loosely based on Room 39, a North Korean governmental organization that allegedly engages in illicit activities to finance the country's slush fund, including counterfeiting and drug trafficking.
- The Korean Mob always listen to Electro-Choc in their cars.
