Episode Synopsis

Jiseul, a founding member and a 3rd-year student, along with Joohyun, a 3rd-year student in her second year of participation, and Junghun, a 1st-year student, are practicing rights-based sharing through the Human Rights Club Ikki. Together with social worker Mr. Kim Minseok from the Dongbu Social Welfare Center as their teacher, the Human Rights Club Ikki is exploring ways to make beaches more accessible and usable for people with mobility challenges through a program supported by a company in 2024. In addition, they are working on introducing Robo Wheelchairs for the elderly in the Pyoseon area and promoting proper awareness for the mobility-challenged. Witnessing the gradual changes in their surroundings and society through these activities, Jiseul has been inspired to become an energy engineer to address the climate crisis, while Joohyun feels that her perspective on the world has broadened. The youngest member, Junghun, feels pride and self-esteem from being able to help others with his abilities. The Human Rights Club Ikki comprises around ten students from Pyoseon High School, who are striving to create a better world, starting from their local area and extending across South Korea.
