The released photos show Lee Woon enjoying his daily life freely, sitting on a tree and leisurely reading a book or being surrounded by people in a marketplace, which attracts attention.
However, there is an inexplicable hint of loneliness on Lee Woon’s face. His melancholic eyes and expressionless face simultaneously stir curiosity and pity in the viewers. Interest is focused on the narrative of Lee Woon, who hides emptiness behind his seemingly relaxed exterior.
