looks like some people don't know what a seal is and why it was important here. I knew about seals/hanko from manga, but I didn't know they were also used in S. Korea, so TIL. it's something you use to stamp documents (and other stuff) and it works like a signature, so it's used on official documents like contracts. there's more to it if you check this link ( https://thesoulofseoul.net/korean-dojang-get-a-korean-name-stamp/), but that's the gist. incheol was responsible for getting people to sell their houses so their areas could be redeveloped, and it looks like pyeonghwa's family fell victim to incheol's "by any means" approach, since he either stole the seal outright or got pyeonghwa's mom to stamp a selling agreement under false pretenses. and given that she wasn't in good health, it looks like that eventually snowballed into her death. that also means that pyeonghwa's not just some random guy who got obsessed with incheol, he's also got some personal beef to take out on him. incheol's shady past came back to bite him (in the ass) and his boss and colleague left him to do a downright impossible task with no warning of the fallout from his past actions (betrayal! demotion!).
