Seven athletes, and...
Giyeon Athlete Village is located somewhere in Gangwon-do, South Korea.
It is a training center for 'second-best' athletes who failed to make the national team.
Leaving the premises is impossible, but internal facilities can be used freely. It is speculated to have been built by a billionaire, but no one knows who actually gathered the athletes.
The village consists of three floors above ground, a rooftop, two basement levels, and outdoor training grounds.
