The US intelligence agency uncovered a clandestine operation known as The Tyrant Project: the South Korean government's plan to develop a bioweapon that could enhance human abilities.

Director Choe, a member of a government agency secretly overseeing The Tyrant Project, instructed his operatives Mo-yong to secure the bioweapon, who tasked Ja-gyeong.
