## Background

Sky ViewSky ViewFull AppearanceNEST is rather unclear in its origin but it has at the least been in service before 2019. It is located seemingly somewhere in Gangwon behind an unnamed mountains and seemingly its only access (or at the least the normal way) is through a road tunnel.

## Societal Structure

interestingly, there are many people inside with a diverse age from old to very young. It is an isolated society of safe and prosperous for insect humans so that they can lead a life comparable to that of an outside society. The main purpose is to secure and protect all insect people who have difficulties living in society and lead them to the nest. The second purpose, is that insect humans can apply for departments as students instead of choosing to live safely in the civilian area. There they can learn various skills and skills as insect humans. Eventually, they can be valedictorian so that they can be complete cured of their insect characteristics as they acquire Cinderella. Although some insect humans don't want to become normal human.

It is directly mentioned that ordinary humans cannot enter NEST.

*Code of Conduct:*

* Article 18 - Propolis Members may use their complex to uphold order on campus.

## Building Structure

The structure of NEST is unclear but it seems that the size is about a town size with a hexagonal structure that acts as a wall and buildings. To the middle is the tallest cylindrical glassed building that seems to be the research center. Then to the north is the NEST square. Furthermore, majority of the buildings are surrounded by trees and maybe a forest. Outside of NEST is surrounded by the natural environment. Finally, it seems there is only one way exit through a road tunnel.

## Education Structure

The education structure is somewhat unclear. It is presumed there are multiple departments, courses, and professor but only a few had been mentioned and appeared. In order for students and faculty to enter, they must have an ID. Furthermore, there seems to be only 16 students per class.

It appears that the higher up is the Dean and unnamed faculty and then followed by the professors.

In order for students to register, they would have to first appear in the network lab and then sprint towards the open grounds to find the desire professor. Once arrived, they will give students a USB with their initials and come back to the lab to register while avoiding any students that may attack. Once registration is finished, those that haven't will be forced to take the year off until next time.

There is also the Propolis, a small group of elite students that are possible to be elected to be valedictorian.

*Courses:*

1. Liberal Arts
2. Understanding NEST Protection
3. Practical Combat For Insects
4. Study of Genetically Modified Human

## Power and Reach

NEST is potentially a powerful organization as it seems to have very high advanced technology and buildings. More specifically, it has the power to somehow erase every evidence of their existence and insect human situations in the normal public. Furthermore, their society is seemingly unknown despite that this type of society would had been noticed by the Korean government and the public very easily. They aslo have transportations such as regular busses for students and helicopters

## Plot Overview

### Marco Polo's Travel to the Multiverse

As NEST and the truth behind NEST plays a big role in the storyline of Season 2, the below information contain possibly major spoilers. Read at your own risk.

## Affiliates/Associates

* Verity Jo - Briefly seen as the author that fabricated a story to hide Suchan Jang's complex from the human public. It is not clear if Verity is even a part of NEST or an associate.
* **[Show Spoiler]**Miho Won - it is revealed in Marco Polo's Travel to the Multiverse that NEST is in fact an insect genetics research center secretly founded by Miho Won to prepare for Doomsday.

## Trivia

* Korean readers criticized that there is a lack of realism involving NEST. Although Jungle Juice is a part of Superstring which has many supernatural occurrences, there are some things that don't particularly make sense. However this can be solved in season 2. The following reasons is:
	1. There are a small population residing in NEST, if that is the case, those people should had been registered as missing persons.
	2. Entirely erasing traces of insect humans seems unrealistic. Due to NEST being a university size organization, it would had been revealed easily as Korea is a small country.
	3. The mantis human that caused mayhem at the theater was erased; causing the public to believed to be a promotional event seems unrealistic. One person even died.
* In Jun Ji's class, there are most certainly 16 students. Thus splits into four groups with four members each. Every group except Group C had not been properly introduced. Due to their low appearance would suggest they are not important. However, overall, every member except the mystery student has consistently shown throughout the webtoon. This suggest that they may be properly introduced in season 2.
	+ The members are: green haired female student, glasses student, beanie student, and mystery student.
		- The mystery student, the 16th student, is by far the least appeared and sits on the left side behind the beanie student. Due to this, there are possible contradictions. In the beginning, Jangjun Kim was the 16th student but was killed, thus a free space. Sometime later, Junhyeong Lee became the 16th student officially however this is a contradiction as he should had been 17th. The mystery student has appeared in two instances:

Season 1, Ep. 18Season 1, Ep. 69
* NEST's society and rules are very questionable; specifically on the relations between Cinderella, Students, and civilians:
	+ Students wish to return back to normal while the civilians are the opposite. Then seemingly Cinderella is only offered to students. It make sense that students would chase for their cure however it seems counter-intuitive. Students studied and learn how to accept and understand their complex for presumably four years (college). For that long would mean they accept and got used to their change. It would be pointless that all that effort disappears once they acquired the cure.
		- Furthermore, it doesn't make sense that civilians would not become students. It is explain they are fine with their complex and thus they should learn how to control their complex. They could also reject the Cinderella presumably.

* NEST's origins and how it was found is still unexplored. It is likely it will be explain in season 2 but there are some theories on who funded NEST.
	+ In Marco Polo's Travel to Multiverse, it is revealed who it was but is uncertain if this important info would be revealed in Jungle Juice itself.
