It is also unclear why Lady Maeda was interested in the Najin research.
Publicly, Lady Maeda behaved like a noblewoman who would rarely leave the house or question her husbands actions.
However, in secrecy, she was arguably the most powerful and dangerous person in Gyeongseong.
Gyeongseong Creature is an action horror-thriller television series that Kang Eun-kyung and Chung Dong-yoon created for Netflix. Set in 1945 during the Japanese occupation of Korea, Jang Tae-Sang, a wealthy informant in the heart of Gyeongseong, and Yoon Chae-ok, a highly skilled investigator, come together to face a literal creature created from the cumulative greed of humanity.
That said,Gyeongseong Creatureseason 1, part 2 showed that Tae-sang was not as selfish as it seemed.
Maeda had Myeong-ja kidnapped and sent to the Ongseong Hospital without telling Ishikawa.
At the end ofGyeongseong Creature, Myeong-ja died during childbirth, but the baby survived.
Lieutenant Kato delivered the baby and noticed they had inherited the Najin organism.
Ho-jae is all but confirmed as being Tae-sang, although the trailers have suggested he lost his memory.
The most accepted theory is that Tae-sang is the one who got infectedwithout knowing.
Lastly, Tae-sang being infected would explain why he is still alive and looks the same almost 80 later.
Ho-jae is all but confirmed as being Tae-sang, although the trailers have suggested he lost his memory.
Regardless, this explains why Han So-hee is back as Chae-ok inGyeongseong Creatureseason 2 despite the modern-day setting.
Given that Maeda and Kato both survived, the Najin experiments likely continued after the war.
