A-shin grows up in a small town at Yilan. His family runs a fruit shop. A-shin is the most beloved one of his mother, and is his little brother's idol. He joined the school gymnastic team at an early age. In order to become a national player, he never gave in to hard trainings. However, he gradually lost his way in rebel time. During this period of time, A-shin gave up gymnastics and joined the gang with his best friend, Pickle.

He decided to go home and pick up his passion and belief to gymnastics. He told himself, this is his final chance...
