The Talent Show

To be able to win the coveted title, the group performed a hilarious dance number where Yi Kang became the lead singer while his teammates, including their head Jo Dae Jin (Sung Dong Il) crossed dressed and became her backup dancers.
Luckily, the group managed to take home the trophy. Unfortunately, amid their victory, it left Hyun Jo in a major injury after spraining his ankle.
A Massive Fire Hits Mount Jirisan
After returning from a gathering, Kang Hyun Jo saw a vision of a forest fire at the mountain.
Ironically, as the park ranger geared up for the fire prevention week, smoke was detected in the middle of the forest. The headquarters alerted the stations, instructing the rangers to check the location.
Seo Yi Kang, Jung Goo Young (Oh Jeong Se), and Park Il Hae (Jo Han Chul) started work to see what they could do to stop the fire from spreading. Unfortunately, the fire was so big that smoke and hot flames blocked their vision.
Luckily, the fire was immediately put out, but the rangers needed to do ground checking to see if everything was under control.
As for Kang Hyun Jo, who won't be able to do a field check, he starts to investigate to find out what caused the fire.
Unfortunately, Hyun Jo found himself in danger after he was locked up in what appears to be a storage room. Together with him are the children of the victim of the potato bomb tragedy.
"Jirisan" episode 7 hints that the culprit's next target might be Hyun Jo.
