An ex-swindler who scammed people who are extorting money from poor people. By chance, he entered Duon Village after running away from gangsters whom he saw were abducting a woman.
The secret-keeper of Duon Village is a living person. He lives in a shabby house nearby in the mountain, and was the one who saved Kim Wook when the latter fell from a cliff and landed on a tree. From then on, he became good friends with Kim Wook, & takes care of the latter. He had been the seeker for the missing bodies of the villagers for 10 years. He pretended to be a dead soul when he entered the village, with only Thomas Cha knowing his and Kim Wook's true identities.
A bright civil servant leading a double life as a hacker. She is a professional when it comes to computing and always helps Kim Wook in finding information and always comes to rescue the team. She resigned from her job after Kim Nam-guk's death to take over his pawnshop.
A competitive detective who is restless and dedicated. He would catch the criminals assigned to him by any means, including to find his fiancée who went missing after their argument.
