Kwon Yoo was framed because mastermind Min used a massive intelligence-gathering supercomputer to identify him as the perfect scapegoat. The real killer was the daughter of a wealthy businessman called Chairman Chu, who hired Min to find someone to blame. Min's team collected DNA, fingerprints, and blood from a girl named So to plant at the crime scene, making it appear Kwon was the perpetrator.

Min used his supercomputer to identify Kwon as a suitable target, then dispatched a team to drug a girl named So and collect her hair, saliva, and blood. They used these biological samples to create a fake crime scene at Noh Joon-young's apartment, making it appear that Kwon had murdered her. Security footage was also manipulated to place him at the scene.

Yeo-wool, a skilled hacker and member of the RESURRECTION gaming team, researched the case and discovered irregularities in the evidence. She tracked the truck linked to the crime scenes, helped Kwon infiltrate Noh Joon-young's apartment where she witnessed the staged crime scene, and used her thumb drive to hack into Min's command center and transfer the crucial evidence including surveillance footage and call logs.

Noh Joon-young was killed because his apartment served as the staged crime scene for the frame-up. Min's team murdered him and used his apartment to create a narrative of a rabid fan who stalked, killed, and embalmed her idol. This was part of the elaborate scheme to frame Kwon Yoo for murder.

While Kwon and most of the team were captured distracting the pursuers, Yeo-wool used her equipment to override the TV station's broadcast.

Kwon Yoo spent his days at an Internet cafe because he was unemployed in the real world but highly skilled in the virtual one. His gaming persona "Captain" led a tight-knit team called RESURRECTION in an online FPS game. This background gave him the strategic thinking and teamwork skills that later helped him investigate his frame-up and take down Min's operation.
