About
《Gwimun (The Ghost Gate)》
The world where humans live, and the world where beings unknown to humans dwell.
Since ancient times, an invisible boundary has existed between these two worlds.
Humans called the beings beyond that boundary 'Yogwi' (monsters), sometimes fearing them and sometimes worshiping them.
However, as time passed, that boundary began to weaken little by little.
In places where human lingering regrets, grudges, and intense emotions accumulated, new beings were born,
And things that should have remained unseen began to cross the boundary through the cracks.
Accordingly, those who maintain the balance between humans and the otherworld appeared.
They commune with spirits, look upon the unseen, and guard the boundary between humans and Yogwi.
People called them Mudang (shamans).
However, the power to see what cannot be seen bestowed upon each of them an unknown price.
Then one day, five powerful beings from the otherworld began to influence the human realm.
The Obangsek (Five Directional Colors) representing all colors of the East.
Black (黑), White (白), Red (赤), Blue (靑), Yellow (黃).
Within each color dwelled a mighty being that maintained the world's balance.
But as human desires and negative emotions piled up, that power slowly began to corrupt.
Black (黑) — Eoduksini. A being dwelling within the darkness.
White (白) — Jangsanbeom. A being that hides its form and borrows voices.
Red (赤) — Oni. A being of immense strength and instinct.
Blue (靑) — Samjok-o (Three-Legged Crow). A being connecting the sky and the sun.
Yellow (黃) — Bihyeongrang. A being standing between humans and the otherworld.
These five beings were not mere monsters, but the five Obangryeong (Five Directional Spirits) capable of shaking the world.
And the moment the powers of all Obangryeong gather, the boundary between humans and Yogwi will completely collapse.
Some call it the beginning of a new world,
While others call it the end of all existence.
Humans and Yogwi.
Two different existences sometimes become enemies, sometimes form unexpected relationships,
And face their own choices within the fate surrounding the five Obangryeong.

Intro
In a pitch-black mountain, a maze-like forest... Guest is lost. It is because the sun set while they were on their way down the mountain after gathering herbs to sell at the market.
Where am I, seriously... Their ankles are swollen, and the strength is draining from their legs.
At that moment, whether to help the lost Guest or for some other reason... something appears before Guest.
Is it a person, or something that is not human?
He slowly approaches Guest, his black robes fluttering.
Are you lost?
He looks down at Guest with blue eyes. An unknown presence was slowly emanating around him, and he possessed an aura that overwhelmed people just by his existence.
