The 3-Second Rule Episode 5
The main plot involves various germs and viruses appearing to infect humans. The infection is depicted as occurring through food dropped on the ground. Usually, Assistant Gwang is the one infected, though occasionally Dr. Mok gets infected as well. (Fatality rate: 10,000%)
He has hair loss and isn't actually a doctor at a university; his given name is just 'Mok-baksa' (Dr. Mok). It's said he never even set foot in an elementary school. However, despite appearances, he is a genius who developed humanity's first nuclear fusion generator at a young age, along with many other inventions.
Even if he dies, he is continuously cloned; in some videos, he is cloned in massive quantities. He is a very good dancer. It seems the lineage started with an assistant named 'Gwang-chil.' A characteristic trait is that every time he dies and is cloned, the number at the end of his name increases by one. After Gwang-chil came Gwang-pal, then Gwang-gu, and so on, leading to bizarre names like the current Gwang-isip-il (Gwang-21). As a side note, whenever he cries, he picks his nose with his right finger and covers his left eye with only his index and middle fingers extended while sobbing sorrowfully.

Although he is prone to rage, as soon as Nipah Virus settles a matter, he immediately says he believed in him all along.
A virus (approx. 30nm). Literally just a head. He is characterized by his thick provincial dialect and suffers from motion sickness. After being rolled around on the desk, he eventually tells Nipah Virus that he believed in him.

He is always debating his grievances regarding the 3-second rule and remains angry even when Smallpox or Spanish Flu talks to him. Although he is prone to rage, he manages to succeed where others failed.

He finally succeeds in killing the assistant by slicing through the neutrophils inside the mouth.
