Min-jae(YOO Ji-tae), the youngest of the expedition, who finds the ‘ANTARCTIC JOURNAL’ feels strange because the drawings in the journal are similar to himself and the Korean expedition. From the moment this Antarctic Journal comes into the hands of the expedition, strange things start to happen to them.
