### Summary
The central mystery surrounding Hong Dohui's identity has been decisively resolved, with readers concluding he is a half-ghost, half-human hybrid. This revelation, understood to be the result of a union between his human mother and a ghost father, provides an explanation for his pale complexion and his ability to command other spirits. However, this clarity is immediately overshadowed by a disturbing new moral conflict. A ghost has explicitly claimed that Dohui orchestrated the nightly spiritual assaults on Jo Seong-jae, alleging that Dohui asked it to possess and rape his friend. This accusation has horrified the audience, shifting the narrative's focus from Dohui's nature to his motives. While some readers now view Dohui's actions as unforgivably toxic, others speculate that the ghost may be twisting his words, perhaps misinterpreting a private fantasy as a direct command. The confirmation of Dohui's hybrid status has answered one question only to raise a more sinister one, deepening the plot's psychological horror and leaving readers to question the true extent of his involvement in Seong-jae's suffering.
