As manhwa readers must know, Thomas Andre arrived to meet Korea's Hunter Association Chairman Go Gunhee after the appearance of the Juju Island Ant. This led Go Gunhee and Woo Jinchul to become hopeful that the National Level Hunter would join them in the raid. However, he had only stopped by to request the association to deny Hwang Donsoo entry into Korea and to meet the new Korean S-Rank Hunter Sung Jinwoo.

However, in the anime, this meeting was disclosed as something that took place behind the scenes. As per the anime, Thomas Andre had only stopped by the Hunter Association to speak with them about Hwang Dongsoo.
