The host stayed at the Buddhist Temple (봉선사 ) in Namyangjoo, Korea, for a week and 3d scanned the temple building, jijangdaejeon, where Buddhist beleivers serve, Jijang bosal, a non-binary buddhist spirit, who carries souls from the living world to the deceased world. In Jijang bosal’s origin story, they were initially referenced as a girl who fervently followed Buddha’s commandments. Jijang bosal attained Buddahood while in the living world, thus, granted the right to break the Buddist cycle of reincarnation, which people submitted to damnation are subject to; however, Jijang bosal’s mother was the opposite, and went around slandering Buddha’s teachings. Jiijang bosal warned her mother that she would go to hell for her misdemeanors, but her mother ignored this warning and when she passed away, did go to hell.
