### Summary
A pivotal revelation has resolved a long-standing mystery surrounding Kangsoo's identity, confirming he is not Dongwoo, Hari's childhood friend from flashbacks, but is in fact Dongwoo's older brother. This twist clarifies a key narrative inconsistency regarding his age and reframes his previously ambiguous interactions with Hari, particularly his shocked reaction when she once asked if he was Dongwoo. The reveal has dramatically shifted reader perception, recasting Kangsoo from a potential antagonist into a tragic figure. A dominant new theory suggests that Hari's violent 'Mideum' persona was responsible for the death of the younger brother, Dongwoo, which would explain Kangsoo's complex and conflicted motivations. His actions are now seen as a desperate plan to destroy the cult that ruined his family, complicated by his protective feelings for the amnesiac Hari, whom he may both love and resent. This development deepens the psychological trauma at the story's core, further cementing the cult leaders as the true villains and making the allegiances between Hari, Gale, and Kangsoo more volatile and unpredictable than ever.
