Despite having a weaker spaceship and `soul` than others, UJU chooses to explore the universe. However, he has an accident and slips into a black hole, ending up in ruins. Instead of despair, he discovers his small yet infinite potential and turns the ruins into a thriving, new universe.
SOUJU, meaning `Microcosmos` in korean, was inspired by the quote from Nicolaus Cusanus, "Every human being is a mirror of a world, a microcosm." We wanted to reinterpret despair and growth of the inner self in terms of the universe, planets, and flight, and convey the message that anyone can create their own universe.
