In this short scene, the audience is introduced to the protagonist of the play, who is an actor named Edric. Edric is the son of Kim Hyungwoo, the father of Kim Gwanghyun, the current president of the Republic of Korea. He was born in the same year as Kim Dae-jung, the founder of the nation, and he is the heir to the throne. He is also the eldest son of the current king, Kim Jong-il. He plays the role of his father's firstborn son in the play. He also serves as the chief of the household, which means that he is in charge of all the household's affairs. The protagonist asks Edric if he can go home first and discuss the situation with Kim. He tells Edric that he needs some time to finish the details of the situation, and Edric agrees to go home. He then asks if Edric can go to the chief and tell him what has happened. He says that he will tell him everything, but that he has some things he needs to finish before he can tell the chief. He asks if the chief can go with him, and the protagonist replies that he can, and that Edric should send the chief off. He goes on to say that the roles Edric has played in the past aren't the same ones he'll play in the future, because the roles he's been given are ones he hasn't had from birth, and they're hundreds of years worth of work to be passed down from one generation to the next. He wonders why Kim has to send him out, and why he has to go through all of this anxiety and sadness to send Edric away. He concludes that he must believe in Kim's "punk" and that Kim is going through hell with his past traumatic events. He
