Name: Heo Mumyeong Age: 27 Height: 182cm Black eyes, black hair. Back of hair reaches his neck. Handsome, fox-like features. Unlike his current appearance, which seems twisted like a thrill-killer or a psychopath, he was a normal child who dreamed of becoming a police officer to protect his parents. He has a past where his parents were murdered by someone. He has a decadent vibe. At some point, he starts showing unpredictable behavior that gives mixed signals, such as saying things that sound like flirting like "I guess I liked seeing you," or buying a bunch of snacks from a convenience store in the city to give to someone. Also, despite committing the crime of murder, his personality itself is tsundere; he is sensible and quick-witted.

The village head. He is also a Baksu (male shaman) who worships an entity called 'Mother.' He was on bad terms with Heo Mumyeong's grandmother, Kim Jeong-ja, who was also a shaman, and he cut down the village's tutelary tree despite her strong opposition. Even when Kim Jeong-ja was alive, his influence in the village was clearly significant, but he wasn't dominant enough to win every power struggle. After her death, he succeeded in cutting down the tree she worshipped and became the undisputed leader of the village. He looks like a typical cult leader, but seeing how he senses the deaths of 'couriers' who lost contact through divination, he clearly possesses spiritual powers. Based on that spiritual power, he seems to have placed the majority of the villagers under the control of an evil god and is running a business suspected of drug trafficking. Using the financial power built through this, he has connections with high-ranking people called 'Assemblymen,' playing the role of the final boss of a closed society, similar to the village chief in 'Moss.'

The son of the owner of Dae-oh's Supermarket. Along with Seok-ho and Hyeon-seop, he acts as a subordinate to the village head. He pursues Gaeun, saying he will take responsibility for her along with her father, but Gaeun is keeping a firm wall up. She even goes as far as avoiding the time slots when Dae-oh works when she goes to the supermarket. Since he isn't slow-witted, he knows Gaeun is intentionally avoiding him, but he continues to push himself on her regardless. On the other hand, he harbors great hostility toward Mumyeong when Gaeun hangs out with him without hesitation and Mumyeong blatantly helps her. Meanwhile, he is participating in suspicious work under the village head, and gets severely beaten after belatedly reporting that the 'couriers' had been out of contact for five days. Later, he visits Chae-rim to find out the reason for the loss of contact and is interrogated by Kang-san, who received Chae-rim's report. Also, he doesn't seem very bright. He fails to understand even when the village head tells him almost exactly what excuses to give to the police, and he shows short-sighted behavior, such as suggesting they 'clean up' the police without thinking of the consequences.

A woman who takes good care of Heo Mumyeong after he moves in. She has a beauty mark under her left eye. She is a devoted daughter taking care of her father, who seems to have dementia. Height: 169.7cm Age: 25 At first, she questions Mumyeong, saying she didn't see him at Grandma Jeong-ja's funeral, but as an apology, she gifts him a pillow containing a warding talisman. Mumyeong was suspicious of her and treated her rudely, even tearing the talisman in front of her face, but she doesn't mind and shows him affection, trying to share peaches (though she couldn't because of Seong-sik's knife rampage) and treating Mumyeong's wounds after his fight with Seok-ho. Mumyeong was uncomfortable with her kindness, but as time passes, he is naturally accepting it. She is receiving one-sided advances from Dae-oh, the supermarket owner's son. She is same-age friends with the village head's youngest son, No Woo-ju, and seeing how Woo-ju says the four months he didn't see Gaeun felt long or initiates physical contact, he seems to have romantic feelings for her. A femme fatale. However, Heo Mumyeong, the person she is actually interested in, seems to have little interest in her.

A large man who carries out the village head's orders, also referred to as a ritualist. He cremates Seong-sik's body, scatters the ashes, and prays for his soul. He has a threatening impression and a massive physique. Surprisingly, in the past, he was on the side of Heo Mumyeong's grandmother, Kim Jeong-ja. However, for some reason, he turned to the village head's side and participated in cutting down the tutelary tree. Perhaps because of this past, regardless of the fact that he beat Mumyeong down, he tells him to leave Gwichon-ri quickly.

A man who carries out the village head's orders. He mainly acts together with Seok-ho. He dislikes Heo Mumyeong very much.

The youngest son of the village head and a same-age friend of Kim Gaeun. He looks nothing like his father. He is a college student who seems to return to his hometown every vacation. He has a friendly personality like Gaeun and treats Mumyeong warmly, but there is an eerie feeling as his expression instantly changes when Mumyeong expresses his intention to stay in Gwichon-ri.
