I’m so proud of my boy he got both his eyes back

Look how far Hwoarang has come. Officially a master of his art. Baek would be proud.

Hwoarang used to be my go-to as a kid. I remember being so into him being such a specialist in leg attacks. And I still don't know how to spell his name without checking. Ha! Feels so nostalgic to see these characters.

He's so fucking hot why is nobody else talking about it

Hwoarang went from "I'll be your enemy!" in Tekken 7 to "I have no enemies" in Tekken 8

I like how Hwoarang and Jin seemed to have switched roles in their intro, Jin is more eager to fight and Hwoarang is just laid back about it lol. Cool detail.

Loved Jin's interaction with Hwoarang, he finally acknowledge and respect him as a fellow fighter

Hwoarang is so dope, makes me want to get back into Tae Kwon Do again

Both Juri and him, not only get back their eyes, but also do the Akira slide in their bikes. Epic.

Not only did Hworang get his gi back, his design in this game is quite honestly the best he’s looked in a long time.

My favorite character since the very first Tekken games 🤟🏾 love the inclusion of some of Baek’s moves. This game is gonna be great

That up/forward, X, O, X combo has been engrained my soul since the first tag tournament. My mainest of mains will never let me down!

I really like how Jin seems a lot more willing to fight Hwoarang this time whereas in the other games, he was too distracted by his family issues to pay him much attention

Hwoarang's little smile when Jin challenges him got me. It's nice to finally see Jin appreciating Hwoarang after all this time.

Happy to finally see Hwoarang's reveal trailer. He's my favorite Tekken character of all time. I used to give even the best Tekken 3 players a run for their money in the arcade days with him.

Hwoarang has the smoothest action movements since tekken 3 , awesome.

Not only were those some of Baek’s moves but also his hit sparks. The student has become the master 💪🏽😁

His design seems to be a mixture of his previous iterations. The Tekken 4 look stands out the most to me. I'm feeling it.

0:59 With that glorious hair, that's a smirk that shouts "BRING THAT SH*T, KAZAMA!"

The fighting announcement's are a masterpiece in itself. Get's me hyped with a smile every time I hear him say a name.

Digging his Baek inspired maturity and mix of moves. It's nice to see some characters grow over time

The hairstyle, the outfit, the fighting style and the character growth, I'm so proud that Hwoarang has inherited his master legacy

Ya girl was maining Hwoarang back in the Tekken 3 days and he was a beast then. He's even better now. He's always been my favorite fighter in the game, his legs go on for days and when they land woooooo...

Damn he's looking better than ever. Great haircut and I really like how his attitude has matured while still keeping what we love about him. Tekken 8 out here collecting win after win!

He went from a childish rebel to a matured man who went back to his roots I'm proud of him and master Baek would be proud too

He looks like a completely new character. That glow up is huge

The camera angles 👌 the rage drive 👌 the animation 👌 Keen for this games release.. been playing since Tekken 3 ❤

My boy Hwoarang looks amazing in this tekken, design and combat wise, he'll be so fun to use

Omg his moves look so much better, he's like a fusion of Hwoarang + Baek Definitely best looking character so far in Tekken 8!

I honestly love the rivalry that Jin and Hwoarang has like really it’s like they’re brothers sparring with eachother

Hwoarang is very fun to play and very enjoyable to watch his stylish moves and kicks. Love you forever my hero!

I have been studying martial arts on and off the last decade. I just started doing Taekwondo and I love it. I'm definitely gonna play Hwoarang in Tekken 8. IRL Martial Artists Rise Up!

Whoever did his Korean voice lines did a good job. I can feel the emotion behind the voice.

Glad to see him again, Ive always loved his swag, fighting skills & natural charisma.

I’m so happy he’s back. What a beast fighter

The inclusion of baek’s moves means that he mastered the art already damn is gonna be a good day to be a hworang main again

He's definitely got some of Baek's stance changes. That is sick! 🔥🔥 Note: His hair tied back is reminiscent of Baek's hair style

8 months ago is wild. I remember the feeling watching this for the first time like it was yesterday

1:26 i love this part

I have the hugest smile on my face, not because he’s my main or anything, but because he’s come along way. I remember his Tekken 3 design and being a kid. We grow up with these characters and they are like apart of us.

That stance between Jin and Hworang is cool and combo star is back 🔥

always had a crush on him as a kid

Loving the whole look of Hwoarang in this game, really suits him! Did they explain about his eye getting better?

Dang he looks completely different from previous versions. I like his new profound calmness, he seems and looks like a true badass now.

His moves seem to be more and more dramatic, stylish and flawless with time...this Hwoarang has the best looking kicks in all games...

It's so badass how he shouts while performing the kicks, like playing this character must be really satisfying.

How many of u played as hwoarang as kids..used to be my main guy❤

Dayum he oozes confidence and his new hairstyle is dope, the animations are so sick and that intro with Jin is top tier Edit: didnt expect there to be a war in the comments over his hairstyle yikes

Hwoarang casually pulling off an Akira slide tho, exquisite 😩

I can die happy now knowing that Hwoarang is part of Tekken 8! I can't wait to play this game!

Oh my boy! He looks awesome. Always confident. Love him

Man's got his eye back. We love to see it

Hwoarang's fighting style looks better in this game than it ever has before. I think I'm going to end up becoming a Mokujin main at this rate.

Hworang is the only one I've been waiting for. Lets go!

The best TEKKEN 8 trailer so far 🥋 🔥

Not only his moves become faster and heavier and he also have moves and stances from Baek. Even his character is changed even his demeanor..his no longer noisy and cocky at the same time. He looks calm and serious. Even his kicks are straight forward and very precised.

His face became so serious...He is not Hwoarang anymore, now he is Hanma Yudjiro!

One of the coolest tekken characters of all time for sure

I was waiting ages to see my boy's trailer. Can't wait for the release 🎉

I grew up bunking school and playing Tekken 3 on PS1 at game parlours with Hwoarang as my first and main. Now I am over 30 years of age and saw the guy in Tekken 8 with awesome moves. Nostalgia..............pure emotion.

Hworang needs to be a DLC character in FIFA 24. That bicycle kick was WAY too clean.

I started my fighting games journey with tekken 6. I remember seeing his back story and when he was defeated by devil jin in tekken 5, and its so good to look at him defeat Jin

Looking so forward to this!💯🔥🔥

Hwoarang is cool because everything about his design matched with his personality. It’s not just his biker theme outfit that displays his delinquent side, it’s also his taekwondo dobok. He has an interesting personality, Hwoarang lives for the thrill and doesn’t let any rules stop him from doing what he thinks is fun. Despite what his rough personality would suggest, Hwoarang has an honorable side. He respects his master Baek and prefers to have a fair fight with his opponents. He rejects any form of supernatural power so he can rely on his own fighting skills. While Hwoarang is a jerk most of the time, he’s actually a fairly decent guy when you get to know him. His rivalry with Jin is interesting due to how it developed throughout the series. It evolved from a bitter rivalry to a friendly one. Jin and Hwoarang are now basically just the friends who prefer to beat each other up rather than hug. No matter how much they fight, they have each other’s back. It’s a typical example of vitriolic best buds. Hwoarang was even willing to sacrifice his eye for Jin in T7 even if it was just an temporary injury and he didn't lost the eye for real, it shows how Hwoarang was more moral than Jin at that particular point. Lastly but not least, I consider Hwoarang to be one of Tekken's strongest designs. I personally think that he’s the best representation of TKD in a fighting game. Hwoarang is awesome and I can’t imagine the franchise without him. 🤷🏻‍♂️☯️👌✌️

Love how each and every returning character is coming back stronger, more advanced, and matured. 8th title in the series and still growing phenomenally. All game genres can learn from this

My main since Tekken 3. Glad to see how he's looking in Tekken 8 and excited to play it.

We’ve seen the feet and legs in all their magnificent glory. Now show us the hands. Show us, Steven.

I gotta say that his outfit looks so grounded than in T7, which is better imo. Simple, stylish, and really does represent his taekwondo expertise.

Hwoarang is now more mature and serious than previous tekken games.

i've been a Hwoarang main since Tekken Tag Tournament back in 2000, i still play Hwoarang to this day in 6/1/2023

Only Tekken guy who didn't need to bulk out massively to get tougher. He's from the army too, so you know he's legit.

Hworang is a GOAT! His T4 style with the Gi is my favorite, and I love how he has a little bit of that with Baek's moveset. He finally became the Master 🥋

I’ve been waiting for this for too long🎉

Hwoarang is the reason why I play Tekken since Tekken 3. LET'S GOOO!!!

There's so much to unpack in this one: The appearance, the grunts, the fact that they ditched his pro bodybuilder physique, the old T5 Jin intro animation, the moves... Hwoarang is looking crazy!

His design seems to be the most tame compared to other characters, reminds me of Tekken 4, I like it

This game is legendary. I am buying a PS 5 because of Tekken 8. 10/10 stars!!

def getting tekken 8 now!

Bruh, I was a 10-year-old kid when Hwoarang debuted in Tekken 3, and now I'm in my mid-30s and crusty while he's still a young adult at peak strength 😭

Hwoarang has come a long long way since Tekken 3! Can’t get over his style!😅😊

Literally been my main since Tekken 3. Still a beast!

I love his design so far 🔥

As a Baek main, I love this so much. It isn’t him but it’s so great to see him mature like how his master did

These little interactions between the fighters have been great😮‍💨🤝🏾 hopefully we get more.

Wow!! Look who it is! And I like outfit of yours! Be proud of that!

I thought this time there wouldn’t be a hworang since they didn’t show him in the teaser but im glad to see my man, finally got a reason to buy tekken 8

That intro with jin was fire

Finally the announcer managed to nail the pronunciation of Hwoarang perfectly

I freaking love this guy so much Hwoarang main here since Tekken 5

They did him so much more justice can’t lie he was already amazing but they really added some extra icing to the cake

Time to master Hwoarang all over again. I like this version of him, combining his and Baek's moves

Jin: Come at me with everything you've got! Hwoarang: *happiest man in the world*

T7 Hwoarang: 👁️ T8 Hwoarang: 👁️👁️

Hwoarang looks so good in tekken 8 his fighting style is just fantastic his voice, Hwoarang is my favorite character since tekken 5 i love him so much, I ,m proud of my boy❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍

He definitely surpassed his master at this point. He's just mind blowing

the finishing move reminds me of those taekwodo performances. the ones with no fights but just breaking planks in the most spectacular way possible. I think that's a good inspiration.

The last Tekken i got really deep into was Tekken Tag Tournament… I know right, I’ve missed out on a a lot. But I think I’ll pick Tekken back up for this installment

Daaaaamn that was amazing hwoarang got both eyes, he been hittin' the gym literally my fav. character. Thankyou bandai namco❤

Hworang, the reason that I can't give up Tekken

The student finally becomes the *Master* , the prodigy of Taekwondo finally makes his electrifying debut on the TK8 roster and with remarkable swagger. The maturity of how they greeted each other filled my heart with so much joy: *Jin* acknowledging *Hwoarang* for the first time and respectfully challenging *Jin* to a fight so he can prove his strength to him, 0:57. That for me was one of the biggest highlights of the video and his marvelously detailed character design, he kind of reminds me of a webtoon *Manwha* protagonist. Congratulations to the studio who endured sleepless nights to make this impeccable video. Can't wait for the release of the game. 👏, 🙏.
