The released main poster depicts a leaf bud moving towards the world to pursue its dream and a childhood green with an innocent expression. The talkative Dal-su, who plays the role of the play’s protagonist, will play an active role as a friend by helping leaf buds adapt after escaping from the poultry farm.
