### Summary
The introduction of a mysterious, white-haired character has captivated the readership, whose reactions are dominated by his striking beauty, with the partial reveal of his face generating intense anticipation. This excitement is matched by fervent speculation regarding his identity and connection to the new protagonist, Bumryung, who suffers from a self-harming sleepwalking curse. Reader analysis strongly supports the theory that this new figure is the white, red-eyed mountain spirit from a story told by San Baek in the previous season, creating a narrative bridge between the two arcs. More critically, readers have discovered a crucial new clue: the mask worn by this character appears identical to one worn by an old man from Bumryung’s past, a figure directly linked to the origin of his curse. This connection has deepened the central mystery, fueling further theories about past lives and betrayed acquaintances. The new character has thus become a focal point of the narrative, his enigmatic presence not only enthralling the audience but also weaving together the manga's past lore with the current supernatural plot.
