Nevertheless, this young man, with the sole conviction that “for those who dream, there is no end,” never stopped moving forward. His small beginning eventually led to a journey of faith across the globe. The true beginning of ‘human Cho Yong-gi,’ hidden behind the success story. Through a diary unearthed after 70 years and unreleased archives, the journey of a young man overcoming despair to become the voice of his era unfolds for the first time on screen.
