[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] In the OCN drama 'Lugal' aired on the 5th, Kang Kibum (played by Choi Jin-hyuk) awakens and vows to catch Hwang Deukgu (played by Park Sung-woong) in his own way.

Song Mina (played by Jung Hye-in) and the Lugal team find the fallen Kang Kibum. Song Mina asks about Hwang Deukgu's whereabouts, and Kang Kibum says that Hwang Deukgu left in a police car, adding, "The police are not on our side either," before losing consciousness.

Song Mina asks Director Choi (played by Kim Min-sang), "Have you confirmed the police vehicle that took Hwang Deukgu?" Director Choi replies, "Not yet." Song Mina then says, "Senior Kibum was right. We should have killed that guy back then." When Director Choi says, "What if even you get swept away by emotions?" Song Mina responds, "It's not being swept away, it's being faithful. Isn't that why you gathered us as Lugal, Director?"

However, Director Choi emphasizes, "Don't lose sight of the essence. We must destroy everything about Argos beyond just Hwang Deukgu." Then Song Mina asks, "Why did you shut down Senior Kibum's eyes?" Director Choi answers, "Lugal, which has gone beyond control, is just a target for suppression." Song Mina gets upset and says, "Don't talk as if we're machines." She then complains, "I'm so angry about the pain I, we, have to endure because of those guys."

Kang Kibum senses that the artificial eye is trying to communicate with him. The artificial eye says, "Not bad," and Kang Kibum is startled, asking, "What is this?" The artificial eye replies, "Conversation is still too much." But soon he feels something wrong with his body and collapses. Manager Oh (played by Park Choong-sun) wonders, "The streaming stopped too, is it just a simple malfunction?"

Director Choi asks Manager Oh how Kang Kibum blocked the streaming by himself, and Manager Oh replies, "There is no such process." Director Choi then says, "Then we need to diagnose whether it was a bug in the algorithm or an evolution of the artificial eye disguised as a bug."

Meanwhile, Hwang Deukgu causes a commotion at Seol Minjun's (played by Kim Da-hyun) jazz bar. He has a female singer smuggle drugs and starts a fight. Lee Gwangcheol (played by Park Sun-ho) appears at the scene and gets involved in the fight, running out of battery.

Seol Minjun visits the room where Hwang Deukgu is and asks, "What are you scheming in my business?" Hwang Deukgu sneers, "It's your job to prettify the ugly and filthy stuff, so go back to work."

Meanwhile, Kang Kibum encounters Argos test subjects like a horde of zombies, and Song Mina and Han Tae-woong (played by Jo Dong-hyuk) find Lee Gwangcheol's battery at the place where he fought and worry about him. When Song Mina and Han Tae-woong look for Lee Gwangcheol, he has already been kidnapped by Argos agents along with the female singer.

Choi Yewon (played by Han Ji-wan) is furious upon learning that Seol Minjun is a police officer and goes to confront him. Seol Minjun, who is tied up by Hwang Deukgu, pleads, "Yewon, I'll explain everything," but Cha Yewon slaps him and says, "Don't call my name recklessly." Watching Cha Yewon brutally assault Seol Minjun, Hwang Deukgu says, "Don't kill him. He still has uses," and stops her.

Kang Kibum asks Director Choi about Seol Minseok, and Director Choi replies, "He's my man carefully planted." When Kang Kibum asks again, "The internal power struggle seems severe. Has his identity been exposed?" Director Choi says, "I haven't been able to contact him since yesterday." Hearing this, Kang Kibum says he will find out.

Hwang Deukgu uses Seol Minseok as a subject for body modification experiments. When Seol Minseok also malfunctions, Director Koo suggests, "Give up your obsession with failed technology and move on to Page 2. The prototype is almost complete." Hwang Deukgu orders, "Pour everything into this guy (Seol Minseok)."

Kang Kibum commands the artificial eye to find all data on Hwang Deukgu, scans the data, and awakens. He then vows, "From now on, I'll catch you my way."
