The '''Midtown Gangsters''' are a Korean crime syndicate that operates in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. In [[2008]], [[Niko Bellic]] and [[Derrick McReary]] assisted one of their associates, [[Kim Young-Guk]], in a counterfeiting operation. However, Niko later killed Kim on orders from [[Jon Gravelli]]. In addition to their counterfeiting operation the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] database suggested that they are also involved in the drug trade and are supplied by the Triads. The gang shares their [[Alderney City]] turf with the Spanish Lords, however, they have been known to shoot each other.

*In the real New York City, Koreans have territory in a small Koreatown in Midtown, Manhattan; Woodside, Queens and largest community in northeastern Flushing, Queens. There are no Korean presence in Bronx but territory was given to Koreans based in Bronx in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars due to the fact that the large Flushing, Queens Korean territory is not displayed on the Liberty City map.
