Athena Corporation is a company operated by Alina’s father, Raymond Kim, and is a multinational enterprise ranked third in global market capitalization.
The main business fields are electronics manufacturing, energy infrastructure, and artificial intelligence software development, and it also supplies products to the U.S. military.
At the time when Jaehyuk first regressed in 2019, it was still in its rapid growth phase, and by around 2023, it had entered the top 10 in global market cap.
Incidentally, during his previous life, while engaged in undercover activities, Jaehyuk heard that one of the gang members’ friends had made a lot of money from Athena’s stocks.
After regression, he recalled that memory and has been steadily purchasing Athena’s stocks with the money he has, even if it’s only a little.

A Korean-American who immigrated from Korea to the United States with his family when he was in elementary school.

Aegis Team
A team under Golden Magnum, consisting of 15 members including the team leader.
Their main mission is protecting Alina Kim, but at the same time, they perform secret and dirty tasks between Golden Magnum and various governments.
After Alina was kidnapped by the Russian mafia at age 7 and rescued with help, her father Raymond Kim, at the request of his friend and CEO of Golden Magnum Rachel Smith, created this security team.
The main mission of the Aegis team is protecting Alina Kim, but the executives of Golden Magnum think it’s a waste to only use these elite special forces as security personnel.
After that, the team leader consulted with special security personnel and concluded that the protection of Alina could be somewhat loose, and the team began participating in various military operations involving Golden Magnum and governments of various countries.
However, since the special security personnel must provide 24-hour protection by Alina’s side, the missions they can participate in are limited, but they receive a slightly higher salary than other members.
All are outstanding talents from special forces around the world, with outstanding combat abilities in various martial arts, techniques, tactics, as well as hacking, foreign languages, various academics or sports.
Since the team receives financial support from Athena Corporation, the equipment they use is superior to that of other mercenaries at Golden Magnum.
