Animals that gathered at an animals meeting scolded humans for their bad behavior in 1908. It is now 2016 and these animals are looking down on the Korean Peninsula lamenting nothing has changed. Rather, the situation has gotten worse in the capital Seoul, where people are flooding and air thick making it hard to even breathe. With criticism rising on government ministers' inability, the animals hear that a fine dust meeting is being held and rushes to see whether the second animals meeting results will come out.

The environment minister, glaring his eyes, says that the main culprit to find dust is diesel cars and coal power thermal plant and roasted mackerels. The environment minister warns that a higher diesel car tax should be imposed, electricity rates should be raised, and mackerels should not be roasted but boiled. Listening to him say, the crow clicks his tongue saying, "The environment minister who agreed to allow sales of diesel passenger cars in 2005 is shamelessly blaming others as situations are turning adversely. Humans say we animals often forget things, but they are the ones who really forget things."

The industry and trade minister says he doesn't exactly know the amount of fine dust coming out from the coal thermal plant. He is frustrated and says if coal plants are suspended that LNG has to be used, which will make working people's living conditions worse. He said diesel cars can improve if technology improves. A fly intervenes, "Humans alienates themselves with even their family. This is the same situation."

The finance and strategy minister has said higher diesel tax will lead to rising inflation and an increase in rickshaws, raising complaints by the public. The environment minister shifts responsibility to the strategy minister saying if will be solved if environment improvement contributions are imposed. The crab says, "People are complaining that they can't live with all this fine dust but the government ignored them. How can they devise measures that lay more burden to people?" Animals leave the meeting, saying, "What is the cabinet prime minister doing?"
