The Huang-Ahn Cooperative (Chinese: 黄-安 合作社 Huáng-Ān Hézuòshè, Korean: 황-안 협동 조합 Hwang-Ahn Hyeobdong Johab), also known colloquially as the Taekwondoctors for their choice of martial arts, is a Chinese-Korean Noble Family from Amenria responsible for the nation's healthcare sector.
The Huang-Ahn often find common ground with the Gan Brotherhood for their pursuit of science, as well as their perfectionism and shared idea of craftmanship and the Ramadhan Family for their attitude on aesthetics and genetics. Due to the fact that their clients often end up becoming celebrities, it also maintains a cordial, but mostly professional relationship with the Kirigakure Network, as their clients' appearances on screens act as advertisements on the quality of the work the Cooperative has done to beautify them.
With 23 seats in the Imperial Council, the Cooperative is tied with the Ministry of Religion, which they are ambivalent to, as the family with the second most seats, after the Ramadhan Family. Its main territory is the Korean peninsula, with outside lands being on middle to high income urban and suburban areas throughout the country. The Cooperative is known for eschewing the use of streetlights in its territories, instead planting genetically engineered bioluminescent trees for lighting.
Overview
The Huang-Ahn believe that sentients should no longer allow nature to dictate how they evolve. Instead, they should take control of their own evolution, in whatever way they please. To this end, they have asd. In their eyes, their duty is not only to cure, but to improve quality of life and make such improvements as widely available as possible.
Although garnering the stereotype of socially awkward and emotionally distant mad scientists among some of the populace, few can deny the benefits they have offered to the common man, from bioluminescent plants helpful for saving power and genetically engineered crops abundant in both taste and nutrition, to sanitation microbes and placeholder. The Cooperative is so skillful that even those wary of these "crazy mutant makers" would take their injuries and illnesses to reputable Huang-Ahn physicians.

The couple worked as researchers for a prestigious Chinese firm, where they first met and shared their thoughts on eugenics and genetic engineering. Following the prosecution of He Jiankui in 2019, they decided to continue their research on genetics in Korea, where had more freedom to do so. They got married in 2021.

Trivia
- The Huang-Ahn is inspired by the Deckers from Saints Row 3 and the Simic Combine from Magic: The Gathering.
- Initially, the Huang-Ahn was planned to be a purely Chinese family, with a separate Korean family being responsible for media and broadcasting instead. RMD decided that they would be better merged and the planned role of the Korean family given to the Kirigakure Network after considering Korea's beauty industry and genetic engineering research and how both would complement each other.
