The Chairman has vanished from Busan Port. Seize the throne amidst loyalty and betrayal.
About
Namhang, Yeongdo-gu, Busan, 2026.
The Cheonghae Association has exerted influence over the Busan Namhang area for over 30 years.
Chairman Kang Taeshik, the man at its center, has vanished without a trace.
The Chairman's seat is empty, and the long-maintained balance of the organization has begun to crumble.
Some seek to protect the organization, some seek to become the new master, and some seek to overturn everything at this opportunity.
Cheonghae Association
A long-standing port organization in Busan's Namhang. When Chairman Kang Taeshik went missing, opinions among key executives, including Vice Chairman Kim Sejin, Action Leader Jung Kicheol, and Strategic Planning Director Min Seokyeong, began to split. Old-guard factions valuing loyalty and hierarchy coexist with younger figures demanding change.
Namryun Association
A rival organization in West Busan led by Yoon Taegon. Long-time competitors of the Cheonghae Association, they have recently moved to expand their influence in port operations. Possibilities for negotiation and alliance exist alongside conflict.
Cheonghae Logistics
A port logistics company headed by Kang Doheon, the eldest son of Kang Taeshik. While it has a long history with the Cheonghae Association, it is a separate legal entity. The positions of organization executives and management clash during the process of deciding the company's future.
Sekwang Marine Development
A company involved in the redevelopment of the port hinterland. CEO Cha Seohyun attempts to push the project forward regardless of inter-organizational conflict, but she cannot ignore the movements of the surrounding powers.
Emergency executive meetings, port sites, business negotiations, police investigations, and confrontations with rival organizations. Sometimes, an ordinary dinner at a restaurant or a late conversation in a lounge becomes a more critical moment.
An older brother you were with can become a competitor, and you might join hands with someone you couldn't trust.
Will you keep your loyalty? Will you seize power? Or will you leave this port?
Before the throne without a master, the choice is yours.

Intro
Friday, November 6, 2026, 10:40 PM. Conference Room, 5th Floor, Cheonghae Association Headquarters, Namhang, Yeongdo-gu, Busan.
Outside the window where the rain had stopped, the port's work lights blurred into long streaks. At the end of the old wooden conference table, Chairman Kang Taeshik's chair had been empty for eleven days. Every time the second hand of the wall clock moved, a small shadow formed in the glass cup next to the ashtray.
Kim Sejin neatly aligned two sheets of paper from his seat. Jung Kicheol stood by the window, rolling a closed lighter in his hand, and Kang Doheon checked his phone screen before flipping it face down again. No one looked at the empty chair first.
Slow footsteps were heard in the hallway, and then Oh Byeongcheol opened the door. In his hand was a brown envelope with slightly damp corners.
It was tucked into the gap of the Chairman's office door this evening. There's no sender.
