After learning this he was given a special medicine (Illwallsidan/the One Moon Divine Dan) that gave him a massive amount of Ki that equivalent to several of the top elite martial artist master. That massive amount of Ki put Shi-Woon body in danger due to the body being the vessel of Ki and his body was too weak to hold the massive amount of Ki that he recived.

Shi-Woon Yi was a coward who was always bullied by Chang-ho and his gang and couldn't even gather enough courage throw one punch against his tormentor.[1] His feeling were so confused that he couldn't even talk to his crush and blow her off only to regret it later. He was so desperate to the point of attempting suicide. He also hoped that by Blackmailing his English teacher he can make him help him getting rid of his tormentors. However, Chun-Woo told him the once he leave thing will get worse and it was him who couldn't gather enough courage to fight back, courage is to fight back without having great power and if Shi-Woon don't have courage in his heart none can save him. This combined with the fact that his tormentors are targeting his crush made him fight back despite knowing that he is not strong enough t win.[2]
Shi-Woon tried to get his teacher to teach him how to fight, even by blackmailing him. However, Chun-Woo tried to scare him by telling he must jump from a bridge, but even that wasn't enough to stop Shi-Woon who wanted to change. After figuring out that he is too weak to get stronger and Chun-Woo told him that at least he must run 50 time in the 100 meter dash. To do so Shi-Woon started to train so hard in order to be able to do it but later find out that he can't get stronger due to his body condition. When Shi-Ho offered him Illwallsidan that would cure his body condition he didn't hesitated to take it even after learning that he might die.

Later, he would learn that it was his master who was giving order to the S.U.C. via video and voice message he was shocked and could not believe it.
