Hwoarang says how they did not get a chance to fight during the Tournament, and that they should fight now. In Hwoarang's non-canonical Tekken 4 ending, we see a confrontation between Jin and Hwoarang. When Hwoarang heard about The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, he slipped out of the military base and entered the tournament, hoping to even his score with Jin Kazama, then defeat Heihachi and claim the Mishima Zaibatsu. Despite his success, Hwoarang was not interested in military life, and would often reminisce of the time he had spent hustling money in street fights, as well as his bout with Jin Kazama.

Although he was highly successful in his missions, Hwoarang had a habit of disobeying orders and breaking rules.

Not long after the previous Tournament, Hwoarang was drafted into the Korean military and assigned to the special operations division. Jin is then seen with electricity surging around him (signifying he will soon transform into Devil Jin), and turns around and jumps through the wall of the warehouse he was chased into. Jin is cornered, but Hwoarang throws the trophy in that area to cause a distraction, and proceeds to easily defeat the three Tekken Force members. He looks at the trophy and prepares to throw it away, before he notices his rival Jin Kazama being chased by the Tekken Force. In Hwoarang's Tekken 3 ending cinematic, we see him sitting down in an alleyway, holding a golden Heihachi head (presumably the trophy given to the victor of the Tournament). Hwoarang enters The King Of Iron Fist Tournament 3 to defeat Jin Kazama and to seek revenge for his master's death. Upon arriving at Baek Doo San's dojo, Hwoarang finds that his master had been slain by Ogre, The God of Fighting. This was the first time Hwoarang did not outright win a match and he immediately rushed to his master to tell him the news. One day, Hwoarang lured in an opponent by the name of Jin Kazama and they fought to a draw. Once his gang members had been defeated, Hwoarang would enter and defeat his opponents to win the money at stake. During these street fights, Hwoarang would lure his opponents in by sending his gang members to pose as weaker fighters.
