The killers coat wasn’t dirty. Otherwise, it would’ve seeped through their outer coat. I think it’s definitely a hallucination. After all, SJ hasn’t been in his right state of mind ever since he stepped foot into the Hope Welfare Center.

And who knows? SJ could’ve hallucinated the culprit too. Could the blood on his hands be symbolic?

That was also me haha. From the looks of it, it’s someone who is slim and has a square-ish, well-defined jawline, and is most likely a man too. I think I described half of the male cast tbh lmao.

doesn’t it seem a bit suspicious as to why the culprit would wear such distinctively-patterned soles?

I don’t know, but my gut is telling me that the culprit is none of the two brothers.

Totally agree! He has a bright future in acting ahead of him.

Right! I totally think that there’s a wild, hidden card up the directors sleeve.

The blood was most likely a hallucination. After all, SJ wasn’t in his right state of mind the whole time he arrived at the Hope shelter.

I agree. Jieun didn’t deserve it, but her father deserved to lose something. It was too bad that the daughter had to pay for her dad’s crimes..

Theories (SPOILERS AHEAD)

I noticed that, when the culprit gave the snack and drink to the little kid, it was the exact same meal that the police chief gave to #11 in the past when he tried to flee from the center. However, the culprit used the name Yoon Jae when JMC asked who he was.. just think about it, only #11 remembers vividly what that meal was, so does that make #11 a possible suspect who’s just using YJ’s name to cover up? However, considering how sweet the relationship between #11 and #13 seems, this is pretty unlikely. Why on earth would #11, who had a good relationship with YJ, use his name to disguise his crimes?

Perhaps YJ has dual personality. I know that this isn’t a popular opinion, but he displays some of the symptoms of DID. Based on some loose research, those with DID tend to have memory loss and flashbacks, which we see RSJ display. Perhaps the trauma was so severe to him as a kid that he developed this disorder?

So far, we see everything point to RSJ as being the culprit, but who knows? the writers could pull a Mouse on us where they make one person look the most suspicious, when in reality, it was someone else all along.

I also think that RSJ could either be boy #11 or #13. That explains how he has the memories.

One final point: When Choi Soon-Gil said he recognized someone from the past during JMC’s court trial, it could either be Ahn Tae Ho (who I suspect to be the center runaway boy who got his foot caught in the trap), RSJ, or RSH.

Also, does anyone think they know why RSJ has a poster on his wall that says: “Don’t worry. Everything will work out in the end” ?

Personally, I find this to be a bit.. odd? Like, he just plastered a single motivational quote on his wall and wakes up everyday to it? It looks so out of place IMO.

Any ideas?

Also, towards the end of episode 4, at the scene where Won Woong opens the door, thinking that his father (Jung Man-Chun) arrived home, we first see a hazy black figure. But then the camera slowly moves and it seems like ANOTHER figure wearing a muddy green coat appears behind the black figure. I don’t know about y’all, but this outfit looks awfully similar to RSJ’s outfit.. strangely, there are too many incidences that lead to our protagonist, could this all really be planned or coincidental?

Ehh, I’m not sure if I’m on board with this theory. In one of the episodes, we can see the culprit hang the pictures of every single jury member, including JIS. If JIS was the culprit, why would he hang his own picture?

JIS may have some revelance to the story, but as of now, I don’t think he’s on my ‘suspected' list.
