Later, he finds Jun Ji and tries to defeat him, but Hyeonbin Ju intervenes. He gains the upper hand in the battle with Hyeonbin and tries to target Jun Ji, but Hyeonbin blocks him. To put an end to it completely, he stops him by his limbs, but his mask rips off when Hyeonbin attacks using his Black Devil form. However, at that moment, Maehwa , who ended the situation on the other side, attacks the two and assist the old man. He then sees Suchan and tries to grab him. When Soo-chan questions about the explosion, he brags about it. He tries to block Suchan's attack and burst his hand that made physical contact with his complex, but fails due to the durability of Suchan's glove. When Maehwa wants to finish it quickly, he tries to explode the soldiers planted remaining civilians in a chain. In response, he tries to get rid of Hyeonbin, but Suchan surprises him with his hunting rifle, causing him to vomit blood and take damage.

When Jun Ji arrives and blows away Maehwa with his bare hands, he panics and himself gets hit by the Jun's martial arts. However, in the meantime, he attached soldiers to Jun Ji's body and tried to explode it, but Jun Ji's "*Dynamite'* and evaporates all the soldiers and gets caught up in it and suffers damage. However, in a pincer attack with Maehwa, he plants a bomb in Maehwa's arm and sets it off at Jun Ji.

Afterwards, when Huijin goes to Suchan from outside, he intrudes with assistance of the feed training experiments.

When Dohwa tries to attack him, he plants a bomb in Suchan's body and uses him as a hostage.

He causes a series of explosions and escapes. As he runs away to the forest, he was exhausted and falls down but was attacked by Huijin as she cuts off his arm.
