Is it done? Are you in?

Hey, Jae-min? Park Jae-min!

Yeah, I'm in.

Stop calling my name out, it's distracting me.

This is harder than I thought.

The hash rate alone is similar to Ethereum.

A 51% attack won't work then.

Perhaps an old-school move.

What about cryptojacking?

Do you even know what that means?

Why crawl through all of this to get here then?

Hey, I'm the one crawling here.

Keep me updated on external developments.

They haven't noticed yet but be quick.

Just have to plant the code.

Yeah?

Well, I have the day off tomorrow.

Come on now.

I thought it would be nice to take the kids out for a drive for once

but you are being so difficult.

I'm tired too!

I want to do nothing but rest on my day off.

It's nothing.

Wait, I'll call you back.

What is this?

These damn kids.

Leaving things behind.

Why are you short of breath?

What happened?

Did you lose something?

Like some loser in a movie?

Was that the sound of a door closing?

My palms are so sweaty. The tension is like watching a Premier League game.

The North London Derby, the Northwest Derby and United vs City!

Calm down. It's just a routine patrol.

I got it. Just hurry up and tell me how to get out of here

Being stuck here is making me claustrophobic.

Get out now, hurry!

Listen here, young man.

I wonder why you were hiding out in the dark

doing something you shouldn't be?

-A corporate spy, perhaps? -Do something.

-Just wait. -Do what?

What shall we do?

I did it! I turned it off!

I turned the lights off!

It only buys us 60 seconds. Hurry.

We're toast if you're caught!

To the right.

-Not there. -You aren't going to say our names, right?

In this day and age,

we do have elevators you know.

You ungrateful punk! We saved you!

Who saved who?

The elevators were stalled, I had no other choice.

We're in trouble.

What now?

Overtime sucks, right?

Ever heard of server management with flexible hours?

A dream job that guarantees a work-life balance.

Probably only at Google.

Just wait! This is a misunderstanding.

Backpack. Black clothes. Even I think I look like a corporate spy.

We have a man wearing a mask with a backpack and a black hat.

Hold on!

Is it too obvious that this is a movie about hackers?

The story of a genius hacker seeking justice.

Something like that?

Well.

My actual life is much less exciting than that.

You know the type.

Your typical tragic hero.

We all have to eat to survive.

Let's eat first.

We'll talk afterwards.

How can you eat right now?

Don't eat then, jerk.

Why are you so busy?

What about my calls?

I don't know why I have to so busy all the time.

My salary can barely cover my family.

Being a civil servant,

I can't even work two jobs.

Can you get me a new job?

Also,

you aren't the only person I talk to.

Don't call me on my personal phone.

Is it my father's case?

Here, take a look.

Look. See how many I have?

Take a look! See how many people there are?

Over 80 suspects, including those without an indictment.

All of them are our cases.

I'm not your private detective.

How long has it been since you promised to catch them?

You said hackers did that to my dad.

Isn't it your job to lock up sons of bitches like that?

Was the investigation done right?

You rude brat, that's our team leader you are talking to.

Are we your local police station?

Who are you to berate us with your bullshit?

That's enough. Finish your meal.

But sir, this isn't right.

We've sat here listening for long enough.

My father died because you fuckers couldn't catch the criminals.

That's enough.

Jae-min.

Those criminals are very organized and their IP addresses are all foreign now.

So, we can't track down their location.

They had 12 proxy servers.

It's a long shot even with the cybercrime unit and the others.

We need approval for that to even happen.

But things got quiet after that, so we couldn't even issue a red notice.

That's our situation right now.

How about this,

we focus our investigation towards your father's acquaintances,

-and look for financial ties or griev- -My father never did anyone wrong.

My father was a good man.

-Right. -Sir! You have a call.

I know.

He was a good man but...

Finish your meal, okay?

It's good.

That's the day I realized

that the world has no regard for my pain.

No one had time for my pitiful tragedy.

Not one.

Someone once said,

"To protect your house from thieves, you must think like a thief."

That's the truth.

To catch hackers, I must become a hacker.

That's why I

decided to be hacker.

(Romantic Hacker: Black and White)

Oh no! I'm going to be late.

Where are you going?

I'm late to fencing practice.

-I'm losing my mind. -Are you headed to the gym?

Yeah. You too?

Yeah. I'll see you there.

Hey!

Can I ride with you?

Two is too heavy, it will break it.

What the hell, asshole!

Hey!

So much for friendship.

Com Sci Freshman, Lee Chan-ho.

179cm tall but looks 182cm due to his great figure.

Admitted as a salutatorian. Valedictorian would have been too perfect.

A gentle soul, prefers a warm glass of milk over coffee.

Always practicing fencing between classes.

Makes his cruddy fencing uniform look like Dior Homme.

A hybrid of intelligence and physical prowess

He's good-looking.

He's single but he's very popular.

Mr. Perfect has one thing missing.

Me, Park Ju-hee?

-My 28th crush- -I can hear everything.

You scared me!

Hey, angry Ju.

Are you a "Satorare?"

What's that?

It's when your

inner thoughts are heard by others

-regardless of- -Woo! Lee Chan-ho!

Lee Chan-ho!

What's the big deal?

That's none of your business. I don't take questions from those

without an ounce of friendship in their body.

Pfft. Number 28.

More like number never.

-Is it him this time? -Not another word from you.

It's not like you've helped at all.

Don't make a scene like last time,

and just sit still.

You call that a "scene?"

As your fellow classmate, who endured that wild rollercoaster

you called "crush," I'm feeling underappreciated.

Listen, angry Ju.

Number 16 was a total fuckboy.

-Men know men best- -Stop!

You're not my dad!

Heads!

Ju-hee, watch out!

-Oh, no. -Are you okay?

Is she hurt?

That must have hurt.

Ju-hee?

Are you okay?

Why aren't you answering?

Hey, Ju-hee!

Are you okay?

You should see a doctor.

I'll give you a ride.

Glad it wasn't worse.

Where is this coming from?

Is this fine dust?

Who did that?

Who blew away my protein powder?

Come out. Is it you? Come forward right now!

I'm going to do jump rope with your spinal cords!

-What's his deal? -Don't look. Let's just go.

It's him.

You son of a bitch!

Yes, that's it.

Let's go, let's go.

What the hell!

I was engaged in a life or death situation on this minefield.

Until a loser with a land mine for a face came along.

But this land mine looks very serious.

Did someone step on you?

You're not yourself.

-What? The school server? -Who really am I?

It's time for revenge.

Revenge.

You look like someone with that has been cheated on.

That's why you shouldn't touch other people's belongings.

I found the bastard!

What shall I do with him now?

I've seen him somewhere.

What's up with his calm demeanor?

What's with that devil-may-care attitude?

That son of a... I'm going to find you.

When I do find you, I'll break you.

Some things are meant to be.

A symbolic line like that at a time like this

suggests that, in most cases,

there is a high probability

that our story revolves around this gentleman here.

Hex.

He is the protagonist.

One, two, three, four, five. Okay.

That's the face of someone arriving 15 minutes late

to this sacred establishment, then sneaking out of the kitchen

to pretend that he wasn't late at all.

Upon seeing me, he then blabs, "Sir, I didn't see you when I arrived."

With a sly wave to boot.

I was late.

I'm very sorry.

-What happened? -Nothing happened at all.

Wow, you've got some nerve.

The courage to adamantly tell your boss you were late without a reason.

I would seriously pay good money for that. You are going places.

Thank you, sir.

Jae-min, couldn't you just make something up?

You have exams coming up. That's a great excuse.

Just say you were late because you were at the library.

I'm your boss, I'm the owner of this fine internet cafe.

-Do you have to be that honest? -I'm a little embarrassed but

I have a full four year Computer Science scholarship.

I'm fine as long as I don't get an F.

Studying?

I don't need it.

Are you really embarassed?

Here we go.

The hacker's motto.

Every password can be cracked

and every gate can be unlocked.

Our world of information and profits

is like a 24/7 festival you are always plugged into.

Low security means it's a hacker's playground.

Places with high security become a battleground for fame.

You don't need a strong castle wall to defend their attacks.

What you need is a sharp spear that's ready to attack at any time.

In other words, advanced hacking skills.

The survival of the fittest.

So,

if you've stored valuables behind poor cybersecurity,

that's all the invitation I need.

-I'd like to pay. -Yes.

Oh, accounting fraud.

What else do you have?

(BW: What separates you and "YOUKNOWWHAT?")

(Hex: Who are you? You know "YOUKNOWWHAT" is?)

Found it.

Found what?

What did you find?

Were you

looking for these?

Huh?

A can of beer is just what you need at this time of the day.

I brought some to cheer up at your boring, lonely part-time job.

You are exploding with gratitude, right? Who else but me?

This isn't like you.

Hey,

your friend just bought you some beer and that's your reaction?

Can you pick up some food?

Something like fried chicken!

-It's tasty. -Hey, angry Ju.

By the way,

-why did you come all- -There was hardly anyone at your work.

It's going to go under soon.

It's because it's the exam period. You have exams too.

What is it?

This is definitely destiny.

Like a match made in heaven!

I don't know what you are saying.

What is

your destiny?

It's Chan-ho.

Chan-ho is your destiny.

When did you start believing in destiny?

It just

came

right at me.

-So destiny just came right up to you. -Hey, I'm serious.

There's something different about this time.

My heart is in knots.

Alright then.

Another line for your crush notebook.

Oh, the notebook?

I lost it.

I dropped it somewhere.

I don't need it anymore! No more crushes for me.

No more crushes?

I'm going to ask him out.

What?

I'm going to ask him out.

It's finally time

for me to be brave.

Or else it will be one crush after another.

You don't have to be that brave.

Chan-ho

-might like shy girls- -Anyway!

-I'm counting on you. -For what?

We've been friends for four years.

So, who else but you?

This is my "phone a friend" chance.

We went to high school with Chan-ho.

He had no feelings for you then, so why would he now?

I'm only saying this for your sake.

In case he says no.

Help me out?

What are good friends for?

When will I ever ask you for a favor like this if not now?

Just once.

Come on. Just this once!

My heart just sank to my stomach.

Is it because of you?

Or.

Is it this brave face that I'm putting on?

This is an impressive resume.

Woosung Bio,

Mega Corp,

Bando Group.

Daegun Logistics' ransomware was also his?

This is interesting.

They are all under investigation for corruption and hiring irregularities.

The fact that he only exposed their servers and left

tells me that he wasn't out to extract personal info.

He's either a psychopath crying out for attention,

or he's looking for someone in our field.

It's one or the other.

-Hey, Jae-min. -Yeah?

Do you think

I'm

a little

lame?

Why?

Chan-ho is a bit

out of my league, right?

Hey!

Why are you talking down to yourself so seriously like that?

That guy,

Chan-ho,

was a bit popular when we were in high school.

No, he was super popular!

He could have been a K-pop idol with a face like that.

He was academically great too.

Wasn't I also cool when we were younger?

Ugh. You are sobering me up.

Was that a serious question?

Woah, you don't have to burn me like that.

You were

different to Chan-ho.

You were the kind of type that attracted party girls.

You had this mint chocolate vibe.

Only liked by a certain group.

Definitely controversial.

Tasted like toothpaste or chocolate. Neither one nor the other

They were good kids.

You only judge a book by its cover.

Also, toothpaste?

If I was toothpaste,

was Chan-ho mouthwash?

No, no, no.

He was a classic, luxurious chocolate.

From Belgium, like Godiva?

Everyone loved Chan-ho.

He was smart, kind, honest.

All the teachers really liked him too.

I got along with some teachers too.

Oh yeah, remember that teacher that was only good to Chan-ho?

What's next period?

Hey, hey!

This isn't a flea market!

Hey, you are running down the corridor!

Join the track team if you want to run!

Punks.

Chan-ho.

Could you get the mock exam results from my office?

You came first again.

Don't study too hard.

Spare some hope for the others.

Yes, sir.

Anyway, that kid.

Always looks like he's goofing off

but his test scores are always good.

He was second again. Just below you.

Your homeroom teacher must be happy to have both of you.

I'm just lucky.

He's a rare breed.

You didn't have to walk me home.

Chivalry is it?

Hey.

I think you two look alike.

With who?

-Mr. Park. -You asshole! I look like my mom!

What are you doing?

You don't.

You look exactly like the dean.

The long-faced version.

Ugh, Mr. Park.

-You're asking for it! -Hey!

Lately?

Nothing.

My dad.

The dean?

You know my situation.

There's no need to send a car. I'll be fine on my own.

So, there is no real

pressure, right?

Okay. I'll see you then.

She better be home soon.

He's still his usual self.

Yeah.

Why is it so stuffy out here?

It's hot out, right?

Yeah.

Then,

shall we go?

What the hell is this?

I didn't want to go down this road but...

When a citizen is in trouble,

you call on your government to help.

I believe you in, Cyber Bureau.

Damn it.

What is this?

(To. Hex, We welcome you to Better World. Press "Yes" to accept.)

I didn't even have to ask for an invitation.

(Come to Hwarang Hall B1, Room 4) Deletes in 3 seconds)

What's that?

What is it?

What's up with you?

You really snuck up on me.

Are you a ninja?

Is it a movie?

What movie?

Weren't you watching a spy movie?

Right! The background music.

Chan-ho,

Hwarang Hall is where all our school clubs are gathered, right?

I think so.

But most of them moved into the new hall recently.

I see.

I'm not sure

which clubs are still there.

That's where

the old medical school anatomy room used to be.

It's spooky down there.

People said there are ghosts down there.

This is nuts.

Who cares if they fucking come out.

Ghosts aren't real.

There was a moth in my dress

What?

Spill it. I have class soon.

No ghost is going to touch us like this!

I'm defintiely less scared now.

This isn't so bad.

Totally less scared.

Kyung-shik.

When have I ever made a bad deal?

Then my name isn't Nam Hyung-soo.

A shrewd investor!

The contrarian strategist! The emperor of risk!

I know.

I'm just slightly worried about that contratrian investing.

You're the most successful person from our high school friends. I know that.

Yeah yeah.

Just come and listen, okay?

It will turn your head.

I don't have the money to invest right now.

Are you doubting me?

Don't you remember that I gave you the most money at your wedding?

That was ages ago.

Come on now.

How long are you going to live like that? Come on, Kyung-shik!

You have to try living it up for once.

If you don't want

Ju-hee on your back down the road, you have to start preparing now.

She's in art school.

There's tuition and living costs.

Soon, she will ask you for a year abroad.

After graduation,

when she's job hunting,

you think she's getting married on her own?

Fat chance if you don't have the money these days.

You even threw your pension away on that fried chicken shop.

Alright! I'll hear what they have to say.

Just stay for one coffee!

It will change your life.

You were a teacher for 30 years,

now is the time to plan for the rest of your life as your own boss!

This opportunity is a game-changer!

Who are you?

Hello.

-You're that fencer. -That's right.

-You're the TA, can I ask you something? -Of course.

Was down at the basement floor of the Hwarang Hall?

Well,

there was the anatomy room.

Ah right.

Was there

a school club down there?

Was the name of the club, Better...

What's that?

World?

Was that the name?

Better World...

Better World!

-Isn't that a retro game club? -A game club?

Everyone avoids going there because it's scary.

Anyhow,

I'm not too sure.

Anything else you want to...

-Do you have any que- -Nope.

What are you doing?

Open it.

You sure?

Of course I am.

Just leave it then?

No it's just...

-Can't you open it? -Come on!

Hurry up and open it!

You don't have to yell.

I was about to open it.

I'm totally ready. I would have opened it if you didn't yell.

Bond. James Bond.

That was quite the entrance.

What are you going to do about my protein powder, huh?

Welcome.

Through hacking,

we strive to create a better world.

We are a white hacker group

and that is Better World's mission.

We're not only based in South Korea,

think of us a global club alliance.

So, under the banner of "Better World,"

-we help people oppose crackers- -Oppose hackers?

So,

you two?

But why me?

Oh my goodness!

Is someone after me?

Why would they?

What are you?

Who and what are you?

-I am- -Stop!

No, that's not what he's asking.

We aren't interested in you at all.

It's your friend.

You've got the wrong idea.

He's not that kind of person.

-He's nothing, really. -What?

-What do you mean I'm nothing? -We need you.

Your skills to be precise.

The very skill that made you reach the top ten at Def Con as a junior.

The Korean team won thanks to your skills, right?

What is this? A detective agency?

You've got the wrong guy.

Join Better World.

You're going to need us too.

It's a win-win.

Do we have to do it like this?

I don't like the way it looks.

Well I don't either.

Thanks for the fun meeting.

Hey,

you think we spent our precious time on you because we liked your lousy resume?

Your little pet projects? They are nothing.

I wouldn't have even bothered if Oh didn't...

Shut your mouth.

Then this tell this "Oh,"

that my lousy resume isn't good enough to join this club.

That I don't fit in here.

Look at you Mr. tough guy.

This is not an easy place to get into.

Up for Chinese tonight?

-Sounds good! -Seungjin Corporation, 2017

Leaked confidential documents.

A ransomware attack on the company's main server

resulted in major losses.

Confidential files were released and

with the back-up data encrypted,

the damage was too deep.

The company went bankrupt soon after.

CEO Park Jun-hyeong's only son was you, Park Jae-min.

No, Hex.

You're his son.

A high schooler?

Yes.

Your dad,

where is he?

Any chance

you might know where he is?

Huh?

No, I don't know where he is.

Don't take it out on the kid.

Where is your dad?

Where is this son of a bitch? Ha?

You're Jae-min, right? Park Jae-min.

Where is your dad? Is he at the factory?

The Ansan factory?

They found Park Jun-hyeong at the Han River.

The Fire Department just confirmed the body.

This is horrible.

What shall we do?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Of course I am!

It just brought back old memories.

You said you were late for class. Go ahead.

Oh, my class.

That's right.

Since I'm already late, shall we have a drink?

Hey, angry Ju.

I'm really okay.

It's an F if you miss another class.

You want a suspension?

I have to go to work soon anyway.

I'm really fine.

So, hurry to class.

I'll call you after class.

Okay?

Who the hell do you think you are?

My past is none of your damn business!

Don't mess with me unless you have a death wish

Death wish?

The shit you are doing right now,

is the same thing those financial hackers did to your dad's company.

Hackers aren't crackers, you asshole.

It's assholes like you that make people treat hackers like criminals.

There are people that have lost their entire lives because of crackers.

You're not the only one in the world.

You know that better than anyone.

Is it really okay?

With assholes like that around?

Will you dangerously sway on the tightrope in the dark?

Or will you come out to the sun?

You decide.

It would be nice if you joined our side but...

It's ultimately your choice.

When you're not sure what to do, take action.

Take the road less traveled.

Trust your instinct to give.

And when you're not sure about that last slice of pizza, be brave, and eat it.

That's how you're meant to live life.

Be stress-free.

For a better life.

Live minimally. That's all I'm saying.

Everyone and their dog wants to better everything.

Dog? I'm your boss, you punk.

-Want a bite? -Bite me.

So rude.

The answer you seek

is yes, just do it.

Do what?

I already told you.

When you're not sure what to do, take action.

You don't even know my dilemma.

I knew it right away.

Do I go on that blind date or not?

That's not it.

Really?

That's the biggest dilemma in my life.

I have a blind date.

The girl...

Wait, she is older than me.

She had been

married before.

How old are you again?

Twenty.

Twenty...

In that case,

Just do it.

Do everything you can do.

Then,

worry about it later.

For now, just do it.

You can afford to. Why?

Because you're twenty.

Damn, that was so cool! An explosion of awesomeness!

Hello?

Oh hey!

Hey, sis. Woops, I mean Hye-seon.

My house is minute?

How is it minute?

Ah, you mean is the house mine?

No, I don't own the house. It's a half-jeonse.

So it's kind of half mine? Half mine?

Not at all!

Hey, Ju-hee.

Huh?

What's...

Huh?

What?

Well, when I got home,

my dad was intensely reading something.

What was he reading so intensely?

You know that feeling you get when

there is something suspicious in the air.

Okay, so what was so suspicious about it?

You know I have a sixth sense for this stuff.

(REVOLBEAT COIN - Investment Contact)

Thank you for coming. Please register at the front.

Please take a leaflet and make your way inside.

Please find a seat inside.

Hello, welcome.

Hey, Park Kyung-shik!

You made it!

Yeah.

This way, I have a front-row seat for you. Hurry up!

There are many people here.

They are all busy bees.

Sniffing out money like honey!

Sir,

our VIP has arrived.

You should get to that.

I'll take my seat and enjoy the seminar.

Thank you.

Nam Hyeong-su

really made it big.

The crypto boom!

It has to start now!

However,

you shouldn't just buy any old coin.

Companies disappear without a trace in this industry.

That's why I'm here with you today

to introduce you to Revolbeat Coin!

Revolbeat Coin!

I would like to say

we are different to all those garbage coins out there.

We promise to thwart any market manipulators!

No scammers!

This is really important and that's why

we have five stars

-Through our very own security system, -No, scammers.

any trade with a even a hint of doubt...

A 180 degree change in life.

I can't promise that.

People saying that are liars.

A comfortable life.

That's our motto.

Our dear investors,

you've worked so hard thus far.

Now is the time

sit back and enjoy your retirement,

That's the life you deserve.

Hey, you.

The banner is crooked.

Yes, sir.

Hey.

Let's pull it together, everyone!

Vice-President, sir.

We're almost ready.

-Manager Lee. -Yes, sir?

You know today is a big day, right?

Be on your toes, got it?

Yes, sir!

That's the spirit.

-Are you in? -Of course.

I downloaded everything without a hitch

I installed malware on their server and set up a backdoor.

Make sure we're untraceable,

make it an Indian proxy.

Why are you suddenly so polite?

-I can't get a read on you. -India. Got it, jerk.

Okay. I read you now.

I'll let that one fly.

It's so cramped in here.

Come out. There is no one here.

How did you do it?

I don't know. They all just left.

Shall we

have some fun now?

Showtime!

Stocks

always flow in one direction.

They only

predict increases.

Revolbeat Coin is different.

You can profit in both directions.

We predict gains whether it's up or down.

Another thing about stocks,

markets close.

We have no other way to access our stocks.

But, our Revolbeat Coin is open 24/7,

so no one is forced out of our services.

That is why

there are no scammers.

This is really important and that's why we have five stars!

-No, scammers. -Through our very own security system,

-even a hint of doubt... -He's really jotting this stuff down.

My dad is a history teacher. Excellent penmanship.

A crypto boom!

Ah, that's right. He was a history teacher.

History and crypto are like oil and water.

You know it's the best time to invest, right?

You are truly in luck!

Here on the screen,

it shows our Revolbeat Coin can deliver

a 1360% return on your investment!

My apologies, everyone. I think there's a problem with the screen.

Thank you.

Phew, fucking hell.

Hey,

guess what the VP said to me?

Once this job is done,

he told me to lie low in Southeast Asia.

While he is jetting off to Hawaii.

The water is better in Thailand anyway.

The losers on their way here today

have no clue what's going on. They'll just wag their tails

and applaud at the end.

They will probably hand over their entire pension.

Fucking idiots.

I heard the VP graduated from Harvard. Is it true?

-He didn't graduate from Harvard. -He didn't?

He's merely a thief stealing from the deaf, dumb and blind.

He's a real piece of shit!

That's why he's a parasite.

This is a misunderstanding, let me explain!

This is very important to our customers.

We should emphasize this part.

Everyone is talking about how well Bitcoin is doing.

Let's talk about our margins.

Phew, fucking hell.

Looks like they rerouted to Mumbai.

They did a good job.

Seeing how they deleted their log files to bypass the dragnet,

they're no amateurs.

Hex.

Cheers! Welcome to the group.

Not bad for your debut performance.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Everyone, if Better World...

Everyone, come together!

My heroes!

Everyone, come together!

What is she doing?

What's up with her?

Let me give you a big bow.

Move over. I want a big bow.

Hurry up.

I'm really,

really

grateful!

Do I have to bow twice?

Two is for the deceased.

All this praise is so uncomfortable but

I love it.

This corporate culture... no this club culture

should exist all over South Korea.

-Three is for Buddha. -Hye-soo,

-give me some praise. -Gautama

-Siddhartha. -I need praises.

Please give me some praise, hye-soo.

Okay!

Today's MVP, Park Jae-min.

Give us a speech.

You still like being a lone wolf?

I'm still not totally sure

what I need to do.

As soon I find the guy I'm looking for,

Anyway, it was fun today.

You are so sweet and sour.

-He's usually like that. -Hey, everyone!

We have to take a photo.

Photo time. Gather around.

One, two, three!

Just one sec.

Sorry, I have to make a call.

A phone call.

Hey,

you're going to miss out on her.

Huh?

You two aren't dating?

What are you on about?

Don't try to deny it.

Don't wait until it's too late, ask her out while you still can.

Aha. Really?

Okay.

But it was super fun!

A bit like Ocean's Eleven?

It felt like I was in The Thieves.

I almost cried out, "I'm in!"

Also,

thanks for screwing over those guys.

You were a bit cooler than usual today.

Oh hey, we're already here.

I'll be going in now.

-Hey, Ju-hee- -Anyway, thanks for the help friend!

Hooray to 16 years of friendship!

I'll buy you a fridge when you marry!

Get me a washer for mine, front-load!

Yeah, a front-loader. Not top-load.

Hooray... 16 years of friendship.

Park Ju-hee, you are going crazy.

Snap out it! Snap out!

You're insane. Insane!

Alcohol is the enemy.

An unlisted company posing as a leading cryptocurrency

was arrested after attempting to defraud investors.

The scammers held investment seminars nationwide and the group responsible

for their arrest came from an unlikely source. The police found

that it was a hacker organization.

Seoul's Cyber Bureau is currently investigating the identity of the group.

They did something even the government couldn't do.

I guess they did.

Isn't it amazing?

If it wasn't for them, people would have lost millions.

In a way, we need more vigilantes than centralized power.

Yeah, in a way.

But isn't it a bit dangerous?

How long until you fall off the tightrope?

Within the rule of law, you ought to live with your feet on the ground.

Will you dangerously sway on the tightrope in the dark?

Or will you come out to the sun?

You decide.

-Those hackers. -Sorry?

Yeah, those hackers.

Our primordial instinct to live on the ground.

It might be the only thing stopping them from walking down a dangerous path.

What do you think?

How will we know?

The same people on our side today,

might be on the other side tomorrow.

The other

side?

You're freaking me out, why are so serious?

I'll be going now.

See you later.

At a building located on Tehran-ro in Gangnam, Seoul,

-CEO of Alt Coin, Mr. Kim -Sons of bitches.

held a seminar to attract investors.

Why? Did you give them all of your money?

No way.

The only thing I gave was 28 years of my life as a teacher

and my idiotic attempt at running a fried chicken store,

wasting 80 million won on the basement floor of a run-down mall.

Don't be so negative.

It's not easy raising a daughter as a single dad for 10 years.

I told you to remarry with the laundromat lady!

Ju-hee.

What?

Do you

want to study abroad?

That's random, what are you on about?

When you were in eighth grade

you wanted to study in New York.

-At Pass? -Parsons.

That's a fashion school anyway. I ended up choosing art remember?

Be a more attentive father.

For six years during middle and high school.

You changed your career path 22 times, same with your crushes.

And I'm not an attentive father.

Your crush in 12th grade must have been an art student.

That's enough.

And you wanted to follow him to New York.

Have you heard of Covid-19?

Korea is doing well. Studying abroad is a bad idea.

Do you ever worry

that your dad won't be able

to buy you a nice wedding dress?

-Do you? -I'm only twenty years old!

I told you to be quiet when we do our masks.

Your dad

is still alive!

Don't worry about money

and do what you want.

Have I ever asked you to sell the house for a start-up?

Or asked to borrow what's left of your pension?

Is it andropause?

I, Park Kyung-shik, am in the second chapter of my life.

Luck! Fortune!

That's a man finally breaking after being stuck in traffic for hours.

You know there are many bars around here.

The convenience store isn't so bad.

I really wanted to do this with you.

-What is "this"? -You know,

cracking open some beers on a nice night with a friend.

When will we do this again?

We have military duty soon.

Once that's done, we are back on campus with freshmen crawling around.

You think we'll be able to?

The romance of youth!

Romance?

You haven't changed at all, Jae-min.

The same as high school.

Even though we weren't close in high school,

"I have to drink with this guy,"

is what I thought.

Why me?

Dude, you were so smart in high school.

The thing is

people want to experience a unique, tight bond with the best of the best.

That's rich coming from you. You didn't even study after school and you did great.

Guess I did.

In fact, I thought you were so arrogant.

Whom are you calling arrogant? You were worse. Following around teachers,

like a teacher's pet.

No way, they were following me.

To them, I was the kid that chose liberal arts over a science high school.

Their attention was too much.

I knew how the other kids saw me. I understand.

You are way more arrogant than I thought.

Do you have

a girl you like?

A girl?

Why?

You have someone in mind?

Well, I could introduce you.

You want me to?

Actually,

I already have someone I like.

You do?

Who?

She must be a catch if you are into her.

-Do I know her? -It's Ju-hee.

Ju-hee? What's her surname?

Park Ju-hee.

Well, it is a common name.

Is there another Park Ju-hee we know?

Our friend Park Ju-hee? You seriously like her?

The same Park Ju-hee that we went to high school with?

The very same Ju-hee that studies art at Hankuk University?

Yeah.

That's one hell of a reaction.

Can I go out with Ju-hee?

Why are you asking me for?

Because you and Ju-hee are best friends.

Best friends?

Are we?

She's not some object needing approval,

whether you two should date,

that decision,

is between you two.

I thought you were interested in her.

Guess not, huh?

That's a relief.

Yeah.

I'm...

Can I go out with Ju-hee?

Why are you asking me for?

Because you and Ju-hee are best friends.

(YOUKNOWWHAT uploaded a new post. Next Target:Songdo International Exchange)

Songdo International Exchange.

Recognized by FINMA from Switzerland as

Asia's first cryptocurrency.

Saw a meteoric rise on the back of the crypto sector's interest

with record trading volumes.

Azilowon.

Park Jae-min, how are you?

-You're looking after Ju-hee, right? -Of course, sir.

This is a pleasant surprise, how can I help you?

You know, this and that.

Thought I'd ask how you're doing.

The last time you called, you asked me how I was doing for 20 minutes.

and we had 20 minutes of small talk.

Let's skip to the bottom line, for both us?

We can definitely skip that part where we engage in small talk to build a rapport.

You're an honest man.

You said you were

-a computer science major? -Yes.

It's a little weird calling you out of the blue like this,

but you really know your stuff when it comes to things like this.

Do you happen to know

-anything about blockchain? -Ah, you want to talk about crypto.

-Wow, exactly! -I do know a thing or two about that.

What about cryptocurrencies are you...

Azilowon?

How much?

3,000?

Damn it, Mr. Park!

Just, why?

Don't you get it?

We are totally known now.

We're finally on the radar of those attention-seeking hackers.

-We're not saying you're wrong. -Then why stop?

After all this way.

-What did you recruit me for? -We're a team.

A group. You're the only one mad about it.

We're not talking about closing down Better World.

There isn't a shadow of a doubt about your skills

For our last job,

you definitely pulled more than half the weight.

But, Jae-min,

why do we hack?

Look at all of our achievements, aren't they amazing?

With our inconceivably superior hacking skills,

we'll solve any cybersecurity problems, including those the government can't.

We are Better World!

You want to go and tell everyone in town?

-Is that why we exist? -We have to be more famous and be known!

That's how we get them to the surface.

If we want to strike,

-we have to be more famous than them. -Is one of those people,

YOUKNOWWHAT?

Let's all calm down, okay?

Jae-min.

We promised to help you avenge your dad. So,

let's take a short break and recharge.

This kind of exposure is not ideal for us in the long-run.

Alright, fine.

Let's assume we managed to draw out YOUKNOWWHAT to the surface.

They laid low for one year after your dad's company.

It was a year and a half after Taegun Finance.

That asshole ran circles around all those security experts, evading their efforts.

Yeah, he's really going to fall right into our unprepared hands.

No, no.

Let's say he did.

We got lucky and got into his backdoor,

and tore up all of his timestamps and checksum values.

There is no way the three of us are getting out of there alive but

let's say we did!

Anyway, despite all these hurdles,

your revenge plan succeeds.

You think we are going to "live happily ever after?"

Our real names will be all over the internet.

And the Cyber Bureau isn't going to sit idly like they are doing now.

I chased him for three years

but I couldn't find anything about him.

That fucker has finally started moving after being dormant for three years.

I was crying and begging for them to catch that fucker

and they just stood there with their hands in their pockets.

They are worse than that fucker and I have to be scared of what they'll do?

We're saying we need a better plan.

Disrespectful punk.

It's not a gym!

Grow your muscles somewhere else!

Dumbass.

-Are you with Jae-min? -What? No.

-What's up? -Call me if you two get in touch.

Why? Is there a problem?

-It's not my problem if he goes crazy -Would you shut up?

Hye-soo? Hye-soo?

Are you okay?

Jae-min is not answering...

What? Why him all of a sudden?

He's not a kid and he'll call you once he knows you are looking for him.

Don't worry too much.

I guess you are right...

You are right. He's not a kid.

I'm a little disappointed that you mentioned Jae-min as soon as met.

No, I'm really sorry. I just had a strange call.

I knew this would happen. He's going to explode.

Explode?

-Is Jae-min angry? -No, I must sound crazy.

I'm sorry.

-What do you want to drink? -No, it's on me.

We've known each other for a long time.

That's true. A long time.

You, me, and Jae-min...

Ever since 9th grade.

So it's been four years already.

-Time flies. -Yes.

It's been already 4 years.

Time really flies.

We were all in the same class in ninth grade.

We went our separate ways after that.

Yeah, right. We were in the same class.

-You and Jae-min were really close. -Yes, right.

We were best friends...

No! Me and him?

No way, we weren't that close.

We weren't that close, we even lived far apart. Barely friends.

Really?

(Found Jae-min! He's in Songdo.)

I thought you two were best friends.

I'm really sorry, Chan-ho. Let's do this another time.

Jae-min is going to be in trouble.

What's going on? Jae-min is going to explode and all that?

I'm really sorry.

I'm so worried. I'm sorry.

Where is a cab?

I need to hurry...

♪The door is opening!♪

♪Love at first sight♪

-Are you crazy? -I didn't recognize you.

What's with the suit? Were you at a funeral?

He went to his ex-girlfriend's wedding.

-We ruined your date, huh? -Yes.

Threw away a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Total fail.

I guess I'm destined to have crushes forever.

You're slower than I thought.

What?

Play the C51 camera.

He passed through the Geumcheon toll gate at 3:45.

Seeing as he's headed to Dangjin...

It's Songdo.

That's too easy.

So,

I'm just curious,

how do you change your voice?

I don't see a mic around your mouth.

I'm just asking because it looks cool.

Too personal, maybe?

Let's respect each other's privcay, right?

Alright then.

Let's keep it professional.

...while an internal investigation team is

identifying the scope of the attack and retracing the source.

Meanwhile, dozens of large electronic displays

in Seoul and the capital area

are simultaneously playing a video file allegedly planted by hackers.

According to an official,

the alleged hackers wanted to demonstrate their skills

by performing defacement attack.

Hello, everyone! We are Crackers! Not the eating kind!

Do you remember the crypto craze that blew up in Korea recently?

New Year's cash, part-time work, tuition! Everything in crypto!

Did you go all in with your precious savings?

The money kept piling on!

While you went through hell!

Keep working like dogs. We'll keep spending it like water.

First. go and see where the CCTVs are.

I'll ask Oh about hash functions.

Oh? Is he getting involved?

Oh was the one who told us he was here.

Why does he care about him so much?

He's one of the greatest hackers,

He can go head-to-toe with the Honker Union,

Damn, your slaps sting. It hurts!

You made me so worried.

I had a good reason, okay?

You don't know anything!

How dare you raise your voice at me!

Did you see the post on the site?

YOUKNOWWHAT reveals his next target to other hackers in advance.

He's not short on confidence.

Those bitches.

We can't say no after such a considerate declaration of war.

I'm going to hack the exchange before YOUKNOWWHAT.

The security guards start their patrol at 11pm.

I'll enter the server room after 40 minutes.

The parent company is called Smart Cop,

they're an IT security firm so it's hard to hack them remotely.

We have to directly go to the server room, and plant malware in the main server.

You are going inside the building?

Well, I have the day off tomorrow.

Come on now.

I'm tired too!

I want to do nothing, but rest on my day off.

It's nothing.

Wait, I'll call you back.

What is this?

These damn kids.

Leaving things behind.

Listen here, young man.

I wonder why you were hiding out in the dark

-doing something you shouldn't be? -Do something.

Calling all guards.

We have a man wearing a mask with a backpack and a black hat.

He's making his way to the parking lot.

Overtime sucks, right?

Ever heard of server management with flexible hours?

A dream job that guarantees a work-life balance.

Probably only at Google.

Just wait!

This is a misunderstanding.

Backpack. Black clothes.

Even I think I look like a corporate spy.

We have a man wearing a mask with a backpack and a black hat.

and he's making a run towards the back entrance of the parking lot.

Wait! This is a misunderstanding.

Sounds like Jae-min is having his spinal cords readjusted.

What? Oh no. I'm going in.

I can't move...

You bitch...

What should we do?

It'll be fine.

Man-guk is a good punching bag.

-He can take all the hits. -No,

I'm not talking about Jae-min.

What?

Come on.

Do you know what his nickname was in high school?

The wiper.

The wiper?

-He wiped his nose a lot? -It's because he can wipe out anyone.

Oh yeah. He said he was on varsity.

Bring it.

Bring it!

That felt good.

You know those kids

that are super athletic and super smart.

That's right.

Just the type you can't stand.

All he did was fight and try MMA moves during middle and high school.

Until he wised up and started studying really hard, then boom! Great SAT scores.

Of course he did.

He's the typical comeback kid?

It's such a cliche.

(Career counseling report)

Listen,

it's great that you're finally studying hard,

but why suddenly choose computer science?

You were on the podium at the nationals.

Athletics

won't help me catch those assholes that got my dad.

Hey!

Stay focused!

-Why do you worse than he does? -He's an animal.

Did they get you in the head?

Hey, snap out of it!

And why are you drooling?

Did you kill them?

-Did you bury them? -What is this, a crime movie?

You should stop watching Netflix.

So, what's the next?

We have to let YOUKNOWWHAT and other people know we attacked the exchange.

As you are our leader, could you write up our statement?

Wait.

Wasn't I the leader?

Were you flower watching in the middle of summer?

-Looks like you were on a date -Who cares.

I'm in a good mood so don't ruin it.

I haven't been to the beach in a long time so I was just taking it in.

The alcohol is making me feel cold.

I should go inside.

What's this?

I've never seen you show any manners at all.

Not at all, I'm full of manners.

I have so much that it's spilling out.

Whatever.

Wait.

Why don't we stay a little longer?

Why?

There's a historical moment happening inside right now.

You mean, those two?

That's why you're outside?

Of course, I can take a hint.

Oh my god!

It's cold.

It's because I'm cold.

It's my jacket anyway.

Don't misunderstand.

I'll have my hands clenched.

Okay.

Hey.

What?

It's the middle of summer.

We're in "Major Heat," it's the hottest time of the year in the solar term.

Okay, that was a good one.

The number you have dialed is currently busy right now.

Please call again another time.

The number you have dialled...

The number you have...

He's not answering.

What should we do?

We only have 20 minutes left before the announcement.

What is it?

What's going on?

Huh?

Do you really want to know who I am?

Then bring the USB.

I'll give you the answer you're looking for.

(Angry Ju)

You are one impressive kid.

Coming alone like this.

I know that's your character but

don't you think you're too confident?

No, wait.

This isn't confidence.

Is it you?

You're YOUKNOWWHAT?

So, 28 billion AWN is inside this thing?

Everything is so convenient these days.

Hey, Jae-min.

Let's see those famous moves of yours.

Try.

The best fighter in high school.

You can do better.

Jae-min.

Jae-min!

Jae-min!

What should I do with you.

Alright.

I admit you're good.

Compliment accepted.

I know I'm good.

Hey, Jae-min.

Look at you.

Still trying to be so cool.

Stop trying so hard! You're making it worse.

I predicted you'd be reckless because it was for Ju-hee.

But don't you think this was too much of a risk?

Is it because you like Ju-hee

or is it because of your dad?

Hey, Chan-ho.

It was really you?

You killed my dad?

Yeah.

Right.

I also told Ju-hee's dad about Azilowon.

I knew that already.

You bastard.

Stop acting like you know everything. It's disgusting.

Did you also imagined this?

Being betrayed by a friend from high school?

Hey, Chan-ho.

I didn't realize

you wanted to be my friend that badly.

You should have just told me.

You asshole!

You think you are all that?

You think you're so fucking great?

You confused meatheaded jock.

You're parading around town

thinking that you are a real hacker?

(1st: Lee Chan-ho 2nd: Park Jae-min)

Being second place is a skill too.

You play futsal with us until 11 pm and you still get good scores.

-You should buy us snacks to celebrate! -You're like a cheat code.

Let's go.

Had a sad face for being the smartest kid at school.

Jae-min is the best fighter here,

imagine if he got better test scores, Chan-ho will kill himself.

I think Jae-min is going easy on Chan-ho.

Chan-ho is studying day and night trying to stay at the top.

Jae-min eats, sleeps, and does whatever he wants, and he's still second place.

There's not a big difference between their average scores either.

Poor Chan-ho.

I should have just done nothing.

Then it would have been less painful.

Everything was easy for you.

Beg.

It wasn't for me.

Beg for your life.

All you have to do is beg, just once.

If you beg me,

I might let you go.

You disgust me.

You lost.

You lost, asshole!

Think again.

Think what again?

You really think I lost?

You're delusional.

Chan-ho, you bastard!

You think I ransacked the administrator's account?

Do you really think I spear-phished Azilowon?

Stop your bullshit.

I did hack the administrators page.

I sent a bunch of emails with their member's data.

Hot wallets, lets you withdraw tokens directly online,

well, I sent one each to all of Azilowon's 1.2 million members.

I just planted a Trojan horse in your mobile.

-You lose. -You son of a bitch!

YOUKNOWWHAT called me.

He said he'll give me the answer I'm looking for if I bring this to him.

Really?

-Then take it. -What?

He's got your answer.

Plus, I'm really curious who he is.

-What's this? -A fake USB.

It has a tracking device.

But it needs electricity to work.

So it needs to be plugged in like this,

-for us to identify the location -Can this

record too?

Of course,

it records everything in real-time

and will be broadcast across the nation, just like in the movies.

Psych.

If you want to mount a camera, we would need MI6...

I have another plan.

Do you know what YOUKNOWWHAT is?

What is it?

It's...

no one.

With Chan-ho's profound parting words,

an unusual summer for a twenty year old came and went.

The Seoul Cyber Bureau was at Songdo International Exchange...

the hack of the century, which could have erased millions of cryptocurrencies,

did attract the public's attentions for a while

but the news died down and was remembered as the act of an attention-craving hacker.

YOUKNOWWHAT, the man I hunted for three years,

was forgotten by the public in just three days.

Better World?

Is it a name of the club?

Never heard of it.

It's a weird name. Better World, huh?

Maybe it's a volunteering group?

So, if we're out,

who's replacing us?

What's so great about them?

They're sponsored by Samsung,

collaborating with MIT students on atmospheric engineering research.

Kids that can save the world from fine dust?

I heard KBS is going to interview them too.

Massachusetts...

Then, what about us?

-Where can we do our club activities? -You guys...

should meet in the virtual world.

Your club failed to meet the member's requirements anyways.

You're making me look like a bad landlord expelling tenants.

I have no power.

I have no power to help you.

Do you want me to make an appointment with the president?

My honorable TA,

you can't do this to us!

It's not like I'm a pearl lacquerware master trying to pass down the torch

or noodle pulling master from China.

I have no plans to accept any disciples.

I just want to be the owner of an internet cafe for the rest of my life.

I heard you were a reverse engineer,

one of the top three engineers at the Ministry of Science and Technology.

If you accept me as a disciple, I will do my best.

Who would have thought?

that the boss at my part-time job was a genius hacker?

That he's one of the very few Wizard Experts in the world.

This is not Hogwarts okay?

Wizards? Are you a wizard?

Gryffindor or Slytherin?

Why do people always say, "Gryffindor or Slytherin?"

Ravenclaw, known for their cleverness and creativity,

and the protectors of morals and character, Hufflepuff.

But I am...

a Gryffindor.

-Such a nerd. -Could you not bring her here anymore?

Hey, she didn't even pay for that.

He will pay for it.

That will be deducted from your wages.

Stop eating the expensive snacks, take the bagged ones.

-May you travel safely, my master. -Get lost!

All my favorites are in this!

Nothing but the best.

I'm a better cook than your number 28.

28?

I totally forgot about him.

It's okay, I'll just have to find number 29.

Right.

Eat.

Wait.

My dumb dad.

Thanks for saving him twice.

It's not a big deal.

Your dad was kind to me in high school too.

Just tell him to stop going to those weird investment seminars.

You make sure he doesn't, okay?

So pretty.

-Do you want water? -Yes.

Finally finished eating.

You're looking good, Ju-hee.

(Better World invites you)

(If you accept, please come to Bugak Hall B2-4.)

Wait!

(I have to take a dump!)

(Hye-soo: You're so gross.)

(It'll be 15 minutes.)

(Hye-soo: Everyone is are here. You better hurry.)

Hey.

Right. I'm on my way.

That's what happened.

What are you going to do?

You shouldn't try to save the bait when you're fishing.

Everything has a role to play.

Lee Chan-ho

has been expelled.

What do you think YOUKNOWWHAT is?

It's...

no one.

It's no one but...

it is everywhere.
