Ryu is a character who saves the life of a young sculpture named Nail (Cynthia) who was dying on the street, recognizes her talent, and teaches her about quarantine. He instills in Sculpture the belief that she should not create things that must be protected, and he is the central axis of her 40-year life as a killer.

Director Min Kyu-dong said, “Ryu is someone who invites Sculpture into a terrifying world. At the same time, he is someone who taught Sculpture what life means and what it is useful for, so he is also someone who supported Sculpture’s life all his life.”
