Synopsis:
The Story begins when members of the Karate group of a Kyoto high school insult two girls from a Korean high school. A war breaks out when the Korean girls get the boys from their school, led by a boy named Lee Ang-son, to seek revenge. The Japanese boys are reprimanded by their teacher, and two boys, Kosuke and Norio, are told to go to the Korean high school and make a peace offering to have the two schools play a friendly match of soccer.
Ang-son has plans to go back to Korea and has unknowingly gotten his girlfriend pregnant. Kosuke is accepted into their group until an accident kills one of the Korean boys and Kosuke bears the brunt of the family's anger. Kosuke begins to understand the anger felt by the Korean community toward the Japanese community through the music and words of the folk song. Ang-son finds out that he is going to be a father and realized that he would have to grow up.
