He gets involved in a tragic plane crash that also kills his nephew – whom he has raised on behalf of his dead brother – along with 24 other participants of a Taekwondo demonstration. Since then, no one has the audacity to bring up the case due to an untold scandal. Cha Dal Gun willingly tries to uncover the truth in order to stand up for his dead nephew’s rights.
