Yeah, but they are certainly using this part.

Five centuries later, the Bodhisattva Guanyin went out in search for disciples that could protect a pilgrim from the East to journey to India to retrieve the Buddhist sutras. In hearing this, Sun Wukong offered to serve this pilgrim, Xuanzang, a monk of the Tang Dynasty, in exchange for his freedom after the pilgrimage was complete. Guanyin understood that the monkey would be hard to control, and therefore gave Xuanzang a gift from the Buddha: a magical headband which, once Sun Wukong was tricked into putting it on himself, could never be removed. With a special chant, the band would tighten and cause unbearable pain to the monkey's head.

The halo around Jin Mo-Ri's head seems to be the one from the myth. I'm guessing the author is using this so he won't finish his opponents too quickly. No one chanted a sutra to activate the band though so I'm guessing it's set to restrain Jin Mo-Ri whenever he causes mass havoc. For instance, the circlet tightened after he caused that massive tsunami by dropping Yeo Ui.
egscans just had a mass release!
