The narrator, devoted to the K-pop band Semoba, goes to see them play the Olympic Main Stadium. Born in Japan, the narrator is a fourth-generation ethnic Korean, and to avoid any deeper talk with Baek Yeong-rok, a friendly sixteen-year-old from a county in North Gyeongsang, claims to be Japanese and goes by Haku. The two swap fan talk, and before heading home the narrator mentions that the band might play a surprise set outside for fans.
