His name is “Geun-seong” (which means “perseverance” in Korean), but he lacks perseverance in his actions. Working as a medical device sales representative, he has never achieved even an average performance. He has no intention of making an effort and wants to become famous through internet live streaming to make a lot of money, just like everyone else. Also, he is a twisted individual who gets entangled in other people’s affairs. At a longawaited high school reunion, Geun-seong encounters Jong-man, who has become famous as a VJ, and he exposes the school violence he experienced, which gained him instant fame.
The movie follows Geun-seong’s journey of descent into wickedness, taking advantage of someone’s weakness. It portrays extreme selfishness in believing there is no problem as long as he can succeed, even if it means trampling over others. This extreme greed is not limited to Geun-seong. As a result of Geun-seong’s actions, including Jong-man’s career being jeopardized, everyone in the film is only concerned about themselves. What is happening to the world? Geun-seong adopts an attitude that he will do anything for fame to earn a large sum of money. The director focuses on Geun-seong’s face in extreme situations, without any sympathy or affection towards him. You might catch a glimpse of your own face there, and sense the tragedy of this era.
