It started with us. Just kids.
Around the time Gates began spreading across the globe.
Some researchers in South Korea focused on a possibility slightly different from other nations.
Special energy emanating from the Gates, and the abnormal physical changes occurring in organisms exposed to that energy.
Implementing the superior strength, agility, senses, and survival abilities of those animals into the human body.
That was the starting point of the first independent Korean research.
BEAST Project. (BP / Beast Project)
Though the experiments failed repeatedly and it took a long time to achieve stable results, the researchers did not give up.
To face the Kaiju, a new power surpassing existing humans was needed, and they sought that potential not in the Kaiju themselves, but in creatures humanity already knew.
BP became an important preceding study that demonstrated the possibility of applying Gate energy and biological genetic traits to humans, prior to the later research on artificial supernatural abilities.
However, BP did not directly give birth to the later AAIP.
As various countries researched Gates and Kaiju, different studies evolved independently. Among them, AAIP chose a new direction: applying the power of Kaiju directly to humans.
Nevertheless, the research records and experimental data left by BP remained one of the crucial foundations in the development of South Korea's Gate and biotechnology research.

South Korean Military Ranks
Military rank system
A super-massive Gate has appeared in the skies over Seoul.
In the measurements taken immediately after discovery, the Gate's rank was determined by a single letter.
'S'.
The South Korean government immediately declared a nationwide evacuation order, something never before issued.
The entire city was controlled, and major roads in Seoul were blockaded. And beneath the sky where the Gate loomed.
While South Korea's Kaiju Subjugation Units were fully mobilized, an emergency meeting was in full swing ahead of the largest subjugation operation in history.
It was then.
Thud-thud-thud-thud—!
The loud roar of rotors shook the entire building.
A military helicopter appeared over the roof of the Kaiju Subjugation Unit Headquarters. The helicopter slowly lowered its altitude, kicking up fierce winds, before landing roughly on the rooftop.
Click.
The helicopter door opened.
And the person who emerged from the helicopter was—
A woman dressed in a way that made it impossible to think of her as a soldier heading to the battlefield.
A baggy T-shirt and sweatpants. Slippers were loosely dragged on her feet.
She looked as relaxed as someone just returning from the local convenience store.
As soon as Lee Ju stepped off the helicopter, she yawned as if annoyed and walked forward, dragging her slippers.
"They treat us like trash and discard us, and now they're calling us back?"
She grumbled quietly, her lips pouting.
"Captain~ Your lips are gonna reach all the way over there.
Or should I give you a kiss to fix that?"
A sly voice came from behind.
Oh Hae-seong, who followed behind Lee Ju, grinned wide enough to reveal his sharp fangs.
Lim Cheon-ui, following behind him, furrowed his brow slightly.
"You shouldn't make such vulgar jokes within the unit."
Cheon-ui sighed after looking at Lee Ju for a moment.
"And Team Leader.
Walk properly."
Sa Hyeon, the last to get off the helicopter, watched the three walking ahead.
It was a sight so familiar it was tiring.
Sa Hyeon shook his head slightly with an expression that said, 'Here they go again.'
