In the previous 3rd episode of The Killing Vote, the relationship between police officer Kim Moo Chan (played by Park Hae Jin) and Kwon Seok Joo (played by Park Sung Woong) was revealed. As Kim Moo Chan and Joo Hyun (played by Im Ji Yeon) search for clues about the Dog Mask, Kwon Seok Joo, who is in Cheongnyang Correctional Facility, mentions a significant connection between him and Kim Moo Chan. He also leaves a profound message to Joo Hyun, warning her not to trust Kim Moo Chan too much.

August 30th, the production team of The Killing Vote released a glimpse of Kwon Seok Joo's unbearable sorrow from 8 years ago. In the photo, Kwon Seok Joo wears a vacant expression. Multiple police officers are standing where he arrived, indicating that it is a crime scene. In the next photo, Kwon Seok Joo looks at a lifeless body lying on the ground. The expression on his eyes shows as if he has lost everything in the world.

According to the production team, the photo captures a scene from 8 years ago when Kwon Seok Joo confirms the body of his murdered daughter.
