- The story takes place in January 2008.
- Jingi and Heonjae have a 3rd sibling that has yet to appear in the story.
- Heonjae has been in prison for around a decade now, therefore was imprisoned around 1998 or 1999.
- According to the logs, about when Jingi had just been imprisoned in the year 2000, Jingi was inflicting self-harm on himself when he first came in.
- During that time, presumably, Heonjae was not yet transferred into the same prison as Jingi, and so, is not aware of his brother's suicidal attempts in the beginning years of Jingi's imprisonment.
- Not yet known what happened to Jingi just before getting imprisoned for him to become suicidal. (Guilt or trauma? both?).
- Jingi has beads embedded under the skin of his penis, something done in prison called "pearling". It's generally said to be added for the pleasure of the partner or to count the years spent in prison (but my personal theory is that Jingi put it on himself to hurt others and make them bleed when he fxcks them, specifically the pigs, maybe because of a related trauma.)
- From conversations, Jingi and Heonjae's dad seems to get violent when angry, and their mom is said to be weird (maybe in a ditzy and low EQ way like Heonjae).
- Jingi has been visiting his mom in prison since he was a child, which seems to relate to his recurring nightmare. At one point, Jingi seems to have become reluctant in contacting their parents.
- Myeong-il's siblings mirror both Jingi and Heonjae's personalities. Myeongyoo, the sister with long hair, imitates Jingi's rough attitude and leadership. Myeonghoon, the timid little brother, is even more obviously similar to Heonjae's shy and timid behaviour, also being talented but unnoticed because of their bashfulness.
- There's a change in the appearance of Myeong-il's siblings. They were brunette in the first few chapters, but were later changed to have black hair like Myeong-il's (they used to look so different before, maybe Myeong-il is only half-siblings with them :00).
- and Myeongyoo had visible freckles on her face (a facial feature that was maybe to mirror Jingi's moles on his face) but was also removed later on.
- Both Jingi and Heonjae's eyes were more obviously green in the beginning chapters (which I kinda liked more, because it made them look more alike as biological brothers) (they're still green, but you can't see it too obviously anymore, you'd have to zoom in).
- There seems to be a surge of several transfers to Ochon prison. The story starts when Myeong-il's batch is transferred from the former prison to Ochon prison, and another batch of transfers arrives again in Ch.18.
- Ochon prison is apparently for hardened criminals, but Myeong-il, having a lighter crime in comparison, does not seem to belong there but was transferred there regardless due to an overcrowding in detention centers.
