He purposely comes to Miryang and becomes a firefighter and investigates by himself about the specialty of the land as Taeseung Group willing to build a resort in a secluded area. While investigating he found about his childhood memories that he had lost.

He later learns that he is actually from Miryang and had lost his sister in the Miryang forest witnessed by the villain.
