Pyeon Sang-Wook is one of the characters in Sweet Home. He is portrayed by Lee Jin-Uk .
Sang-Wook is a contract killer with intimidating burn scars (a former detective in the webtoon). Years before the monsterization incident, his home was burned down while his father was still inside, and young Sang-Wook was unable to rescue him. The cause of the fire was a young man committing arson as a prank. Justice wasn’t served as the man was released shortly after the incident. The man’s lack of remorse broke Sang-Wook’s faith in the system, so the boy confronted and killed the unrepentant man with a knife around a year after. Thereafter, it appears Sang-Wook worked as a hitman who "punishes evil with evil". He comments that he was exempted in the military, perhaps due to serving prison time. Shortly before the start of the series, an impoverished father asks Sang-Wook to find his daughter who was kidnapped by a pedophile, since the police refuse to handle the situation. He initially refuses the man’s offer of little money, but is moved by his pleas and accepts. Sang-Wook finds the man who kidnapped the client's daughter, though never discovers the girl, and begins torturing him.
