Circa 1969.

There was a principal dancer belonging to the Soviet Union's world-renowned national ballet theater. He gained international fame at a young age, and the theater was packed for every overseas performance. He was particularly famous for his unrealistically beautiful appearance and delicate dance lines, earning many fans even in the West.

However, after repeated performances and training, he suffered a serious ankle injury.

Initially, it was reported that he would return after treatment, but a few months later, he suddenly announced his retirement.

And just like that, he vanished.

Newspapers carried news of his retirement daily, and television news reported on his departure alongside footage of past performances.

World-renowned dancer suddenly retires from the stage.

Fans were in shock, and rumors that he would return to the stage persisted. But despite the rampant rumors, days went by where no one knew if he was even alive. Where on earth is he? Is he even still living?
