Land Mine Goes "Click!": How Soo-hyeok met the North Koreans. He was on patrol in the DMZ, stopped to take a pee, and realized afterwards that his foot had caught the tripwire to a mine. The two North Korean soldiers disarm the mine and save him. | |

| Joint Security Area / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Kyeong-pil is a Type 1 "Noble" kind. He has no regrets about supporting this rigid, cruel regime, and is loyal to President Kim, but he has no regrets about the situation either. He grows to love Soo-hyeok like a brother, and goes out of his way to protect him and Sung-shik when the shootout occurs, even when he takes the blame off of killing the commanding officer to save himself. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: Sung-shik, who is initially another unimportant guard; after attempting suicide, he is revealed to have been sneaking over the border too, and to be the second shooter. Lieutenant Choi, the North Korean officer who comes into the guard shack one night and yells at Kyeong-pil and Woo-Jin for hanging out in the basement (they were actually hanging out with Soo-hyeok). He makes another visit to the guard shack at the worst possible time, triggering the violent climax. | |
