Hwoarang (pronounced 'hwah-rlang') is a Tae-Kwon-Do master, who has vowed to dedicate his life to training after he once drew a fight against Jin Kazama (Tekken Hwoarang was previously undefeated against all opponents). Hwoarang's main motivation for entering the King of Iron Fists Tournament is to face Jin again, to reclaim his pride, and prove to himself that he is undefeatable. Upon finally facing Jin, Tekken Hwoarang defeats him, only to see Jin transform into Devil Jin, and knock him out with one blow. Hwoarang now has a new purpose - to train even harder than he did before, and defeat Devil Jin.
Hwoarang is loved by many, as he can produce some of the most dazzling and deadly combos in the entire game. My particular favourite of his combos is the 'bicycle kick' one, where he flicks his opponent up in the air, before kicking them backwards over his head, much like how a football (soccer) player would do when striking the ball.
In Tekken, Hwoarang is known for his Tae-Kwon-Do moves, and his unique style, that no other character in the game possesses. Due to this style, most of his attacks come from kicks rather than punches (in fact, he could be seen as the exact opposite to the boxer Steve Fox). Tekken Hwoarang also is unique in the way that he has two sets of moves; one for his left stance and one for his right stance.
You can do different moves depending on which leg is facing forwards. This stance can be easily changed, but can become confusing when changing from facing left to facing right, and vice versa. These multiple stances massively complicate playing as Hwoarang, and is why I wouldn't recommend him to newcomers to the game, as he can be a very frustrating character to play as.
