If you have bad credit, we can't help you.

We love you, Mr. Kim.

This is June Lee from Daehan Card.

Can you pay by this month?

Employees Status Board Occupied. Toilet. Stand-by.

June Lee

Manager Seyeon Lee

It’s been the fifth time you’ve missed the payments due.

You sound young, why are you working in a place like that?

Put your supervisor on.

Hello, sir.

I want a supervisor.

Sir, I’m the manager here.

I want to talk to a man, you cunt.

Did you just say ‘I want to talk to a man, you cunt?’

What did you say, you bitch?

Did you just ask ‘What did you say, you bitch?’

Fuck!

Fucker...

Director Mr. Oh

Yes, director.

I’ll be right there.

Your overdue monthly payment is 1,500,000 won.

Can you pay by the 21st?

We urge you to pay by the 25th.

Calling the next customer.

Sir, can I go to the toilet?

Is that all you do here?

I haven’t gone today.

5 minutes! I’m deducting it from your break time.

Yes, sir!

- The system has been fully upgraded. - Welcome, sir.

Hi.

Reducing missed calls.

Well, your numbers haven’t changed though, right?

We’ll try harder, sir.

The Daehan Card people aren’t happy.

You’re not meeting your quota.

We can’t afford to lose any more clients.

Our upgraded system counts the missed calls, individually.

This factors in the deduction of their salary.

Sure.

Today’s Retrieval Quota: 60% Caller Status

Sorry, sorry.

It’s okay. Take your calls now.

Thank you.

Shall we?

- Looks young. - He’s a student intern.

I feel like a robot here.

Having instant food again?

I’m not like you. I don’t live with my mom.

Hey!

You have it all the time.

I don’t see Jua these days.

She went back to school.

Her dream is to make a car or something.

Dream?

Quitting like that will get her punished and broke.

I can’t go to the photo shoot, I have to meet my quota.

Sorry.

What are you doing?

Is something wrong?

It’s nothing.

How’s the work?

You can be honest.

Really?

Actually...

I don’t think I’m up for it.

Though I’m an intern,

I’m not sure what I’m learning here.

You majored in photography?

Yes.

Isn’t photography capturing the world?

Then, you can learn how the world works here.

I’m not telling you to give up your dreams.

Just think that you’re learning about the world.

I was once a struggling youth, too.

Let’s think of this as life practice, okay?

Life practice?

Yeah.

Is it difficult?

No, it’s easy.

Shall I show you?

See?

There’s a target.

Think of it as shooting a gun.

You’re capturing time in this square.

Too complicated for me.

Teach me later. I’d like to try someday.

Ma’am.

I’ll print it for you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

Where are you?

I’m on my way home.

Yeah?

I’m having a drink with the Daehan Card director.

You should come.

Yes, sir.

A little more!

That was great, sir.

You’re getting better, every time.

Mrs. Lee, have some jizz cocktail.

Go on.

Thank you, sir.

She’s tough.

Not any girl can be a manager.

Right.

Thank you.

Bottoms up.

Cheers.

How long have you been at Daebang?

Five years.

Keep it up.

You want to join corporate, right?

Yes, I’m always waiting.

What’s that smell?

It looked fresh, I didn’t know it was alive.

Sorry, sir.

What’s this?

Something smelled fishy.

I thought it was because we had three girls here.

Come on.

Why are you carrying this around?

Don’t you have a maid?

Look at it trying to live.

You can do it, Mirae!

I can’t take it anymore...

Wanna melt down...

Mirae, checking in.

Yeonggwang: How’s work, Mirae?

...It’s fine.

Yeonggwang: You’re so lucky to have a job.

I’m only an intern. My contract’s almost over.

Phoenix: They haven’t renewed it yet?

Phoenix: Good luck! See you at the study.

Sleeping pills

I bought an octopus. I’ll cook it tomorrow.

I’m a manager?

I could be fired anytime.

Mirae.

You know what my dream is?

I want to get my severance and pay off the loan for this apartment.

Don’t live like your mom.

What are you doing?

I’m preparing for the meeting.

The meeting?

Ms. Park wants me to attend it from today.

She didn’t call you?

No.

Your new chair hasn’t come yet?

I guess it’s coming.

You called for me, ma’am?

I want these copied and on my desk.

Yes, ma’am.

Conference room, everyone.

All the open recruitments want people with work experience.

None of them want new recruits.

Let’s hang in there.

Where’s Eunju?

She got accepted.

Good for her.

She said majoring in liberal arts was a mistake but it worked out.

I’ve got some special information just for you.

Daehwa Group is having an additional recruit this year.

It’s sudden, so the competition won’t be as hard.

You’re the best.

I’m just doing what’s right.

Hello, Daddy.

At the airport?

She must have connections in Daehwa Group.

Who?

Jaewon.

She has connections?

But why is she here then?

I guess she wants to experience the common life or something.

Did you check it out?

Thanks, Jaewon.

It’s nothing.

Let’s go for some drinks and relax for today.

Always smile! We love our customers!

We love you.

We love you.

Hello?

We love you, Mr. Han.

Your card payment of 1,740,000 won is late.

When can you make the payment?

In a few days.

When exactly?

Just wait.

Then I’ll call back in a week.

Thanks.

Thank you.

You idiot.

You think that’ll make them pay?

Why aren’t you following the manual?

Kids, think of it as acting. Don’t take it personally.

Isn’t it fun? They’re under your thumb.

When does that happen in real life?

Call him again.

A smile on your face.

A strong voice.

Getting money isn’t hard.

Humiliate him.

Everyone listen!

We love you. This is June Lee from Daehan Card.

Again? I already told you.

Your address is Jayang 45, right?

So what?!

If you don’t pay this week, we’ll call your wife.

Your payments are mostly from expensive bars.

Are you threatening me, you fucker?

Your 60th birthday is coming up. You probably have a grandson my age.

If you don’t want to see your wife get depressed...

Okay, I’ll pay tomorrow.

Good.

Meet your daily quotas and tidy up before you go.

I’m out.

We love you...

Director Mr. Oh

Mrs. Lee.

Last month’s numbers were under 60 percent.

Sorry.

We’re deducting the loss from you and your workers’ paycheck.

You’re kidding, right?

We’ll fax over the settlement.

Sir...

Corporate should split the risk, too.

Every time!

Come on now...

We manage over ten outsourced companies.

They all meet their quota, except yours.

Okay.

I get it.

We’ll meet the quota this month.

That’s more like it.

I’m hanging up.

Salary Deduction Settlement

What’s up?

A client wants me to come and retrieve the payment.

This late?

Yeah.

They’ll pay?

Yes.

Should I go?

How much do they owe?

670,000 won, including interest.

How pathetic...

Okay, get the money and put it in our account.

They told you to come, right?

Yes, she told me to come.

We have the recording so, okay. This is good experience for you.

Okay.

Wait.

Are you wearing the hat?

They’ll ignore you if you look young.

Good.

Okay.

I’ll be on my way.

Okay.

Good luck.

You’ve been drinking?

Yeah.

With my study group.

What did they say at work?

Mom.

Can I just work at your company?

Any spot open there?

The call center?

Are you out of your mind?

Never.

You don’t belong there.

Go somewhere good.

Somewhere good?

Try harder.

If you give it all you have, anything’s possible.

If I give it all I got, I can go somewhere good?

Of course.

When I was your age...

So that’s why you live like that?

You said you could be fired anytime.

Eat up.

You wanted something spicy.

Hello?

Ma’am, it’s me, June.

You got the payment?

No, only part of it.

Seems she can’t pay in full.

Hey.

You can’t even do that right?

Go back and get the money.

Whatever it takes.

I can’t do this anymore.

I’m so embarrassed.

Get the money!

Do everything you can.

What?

Embarrassed?

You listen to me.

Do you know what salary is?

It’s what you get paid for selling your dignity.

There’s a kid here, with no grownups.

What about the kid?

What does the kid have to do with you?

Just do your job!

She died.

What?

What do you mean?

Mommy.

The number you have dialed is not available.

I’m coming from corporate.

I’ll be right there.

We love you Ms. Choi. This is Suhui Ban from Daehan Card.

Meet the quota! Change your future!

Mrs. Lee.

About this month’s salary...

Corporate deducted it to cover the losses.

This is the fate of outsourced workers.

They gave us these gift vouchers instead.

Shall I hand them out?

No. I’m giving them to the team with the best numbers.

Here, team one.

Get back to your stations, except Mr. Park.

Did you get in touch with June?

His phone is off.

He didn’t show up to school.

I’ll go back to work.

I’m from the police.

Oh, hello.

Are you the manager here?

Yes.

I’m the manager. What is this about?

Is June Lee working here?

Yes, he is.

We received a missing person’s report.

He vanished, leaving a suicide note.

A suicide note?

Did he have trouble at work?

No.

He hasn’t showed up for a few days.

We called, but it keeps going to voicemail.

Was there any bullying at the workplace?

Nothing like that.

His father said he always had overtime.

There was some overtime, but nobody forced him.

He chose to stay late and meet his quota.

What did his note say?

I can’t tell you that.

He might return in a few days...

If he contacts you, could you give me a call?

Okay, sure.

Oh, bye.

Client Call Log: Yunhui Shin

We love you. Is this Yunhui Shin?

You love me?

Yes, we do.

Your Daehan Card payment of 670,000 won is late.

I already told you I’ll pay.

When?

Did you just sigh, you fuck?

You think I’m fucking trash?

I was just breathing.

I have to breathe.

Okay, I’ll pay. Just stop calling.

Your daughter is Sangeun Park. 6 years old.

Goes to Sunghwa Kindergarten.

What is this?

If you don’t pay, we’ll go there.

Okay, come to my house then. I’ll pay.

Right now?

Give this to the planning team.

Yes, ma’am.

You have passed the 1st screening for Daehwa Group.

You called for me, ma’am?

Give these out, we need a sample evaluation.

Yes, ma’am.

Do you have something to say?

I have a hospital appointment the day after tomorrow.

Could I take the afternoon off?

I’m sorry. But I’ll do some overtime.

Okay.

Thank you.

These are our new cookies, sample evaluation is by today.

Open Recruitment

Number 73. Why did you graduate late?

I took a marketing course for two years at Vancouver College.

Interested in overseas marketing?

Yes. I majored in viral marketing.

I had the chance to learn from viral marketing legend Maggie McCarthy.

Really?

Number 71. Management major?

Yes, sir.

You also graduated a little late. Any specific reasons?

I worked at a convenience store to pay for my tuition.

Well, you got past the hard times.

Thank you for your warm remarks.

I had so many difficulties coming here.

Just being here is overwhelming.

Number 72. Majored in philosophy?

Yes, I’m a philosophy major.

Not getting a Masters’ degree? Isn’t that what philosophy majors do?

I could continue my studies.

But I would like to use my philosophical background

to grow with Daehwa Group.

What’s your dream?

To become a full-time employee.

I thought a philosophy major would say something different.

How many interviews have you had?

Thirty-two.

When was the hardest moment of your life?

It’s now.

Lecker Sample Evaluation Report

Congratulations. You have passed the 2nd screening.

June Lee

Hello. It’s June.

I entered this school as a photography major.

I thought I would work at an Ad agency or a studio after school.

But photography? I don’t even get to pee.

Every morning, the first thing I hear is ‘smile’.

When I get yelled at, smile.

When I’m angry, smile.

I’ll probably be smiling, even when I die.

You told me to think of this as life practice?

Do you still think so?

I want to tell you the same thing.

Where are you? Why are you doing this to me?

Where are you going?

It’s a camp interview.

I passed the 2nd screening.

Oh, really?

Isn’t that too high?

I’m smaller than the others, even with these shoes.

Something came for you.

What is it?

It doesn’t have a return address.

I shook it. I don’t think it’s a bomb.

To: K-Human Network Center Manager Seyeon Lee

Hello, Mrs. Lee.

Life practice, the second story. Are you ready?

On my first day.

Dad bought me a suit. Saying it was his dream.

At first, I was surprised to see how big the office was.

Everyone was hyped about the upgraded new system.

I felt good at first.

These expensive phones could go on without breathing.

June Lee Student Intern

Customers hang up, and the next call is automatic.

So we can’t stop.

We keep rolling.

Phones don’t need to breathe, but I do.

My index finger is longer than others. It’s good for pushing the shutter.

I thought I would be pushing camera shutters by now.

But my fingers are sore from clicking my mouse.

I turn twenty in a few days, and that scares me.

Is this really from June?

Shall we call the cops?

No.

People can’t know about this.

With our numbers and all, it’ll become an excuse.

An excuse?

For corporate to let us go.

He’s not taking my calls. Maybe he’s playing with us?

Check his call records and tell me if there’s anything.

Okay.

Why is it so hard to get to corporate when it’s just across that bridge.

We’re sharing a room.

Right.

How was traffic?

It wasn’t bad.

Did you hear?

They’re selecting only two out of sixty applicants.

That crying guy, I couldn’t see him.

I know.

Sometimes people cry at interviews and are deducted points.

Why?

They seem complicated.

Companies want people who can just work.

Don’t you think?

They should just recruit robots.

Mirae.

A philosophy major is surely different.

Do I look complicated, too?

Pardon?

If I fail this time, I’m going to leave.

Somewhere far away.

I’m going to cut loose.

When does it end?

What?

Fighting each other.

It’s not fighting, but competition.

You’re optimistic.

Looks, brains, qualifications and confidence.

You have it all.

However hard I try, I can’t have that.

I found something strange.

Check the file I sent you.

Okay, see you in a bit.

Hello?

Hello? We love you.

I’m June Lee from Daehan Card.

Am I speaking to Mr. Han?

Yes, that’s me.

Are you aware you’re late on your payment?

Don’t try so hard.

Sorry?

If you keep delaying...

Don’t try too hard. It means nothing, really.

Cries on my shoulders

It’s me. Try calling this guy.

It’s an invalid number.

I do have his address though.

Do you always come for payments?

That’s not why I’m here.

Is Myungho Han here?

He’s not here. He quit a few days ago.

Why do you ask?

Oh, it’s nothing.

Hello.

You’re here.

Do you have any new rooms?

Do you want to try ‘Death of a Salary Man’?

At 10:30 this morning,

- a man fishing by the river... - What is it?

- Found the body of - It’s out.

A high school student, Lee.

His family had filed a missing person’s report

a few days ago, after finding his suicide note.

A cup of noodles and...

Get back to work.

Were found on the site.

The family says Lee was suffering from a bladder infection, due to overwork,

and the incident was caused by stress at work.

But the police have concluded the case to be a suicide.

Did you see the news?

Yes.

Your office might be cursed.

I’m having second thoughts on bringing you to corporate.

This has nothing to do with that.

You already have a lot on your plate.

Get a hold of your workers...

The CEO’s infuriated.

I understand.

It has nothing to do with corporate.

Just take care of it.

Yes, ma’am.

Don’t let the employees go to the funeral.

Understood.

You were close with June?

Yeah.

Do you know why he did it?

Do we all look like money to you?

Why won’t you let us go to the funeral?

I quit.

Ms. Ban, this is a corporation.

It’s not like school.

There are rules.

You can’t just come and go as you please.

Find your replacement.

Then you can leave.

Why should I?

It’s in your contract.

You have not been accepted into Daehwa Group.

Where do I put this chair?

To my desk.

Her internship is almost over...

Thank you.

Okay.

Are you okay?

You’re bleeding!

Sorry. I’m going for lunch.

Mirae.

Are you okay?

Thank you.

Seyeon!

It’s you. Don’t recognize me?

From Dongbu Night School.

Oh, Hong...

Yeah, Cheolhui Hong.

Labor Attorney Cheolhui Hong

- You’re a labor attorney? - Yeah.

I’m on the June Lee case.

I see.

I heard your name and thought it would be you.

Nice to see you, but I have to go.

Sure. I’ll call you.

Take care.

Phoenix: How did it go?

I didn’t even pass the 1st screening.

I heard you got to the finals with Jaewon.

Yeonggwang: I heard Jaewon got in...

Are you fine?

I’m giving up.

This is my going away present.

Open now!

Mrs. Lee. There’s a kid here, with no grownups.

What about the kid?

What does the kid have to do with you?

Just do your job!

Hey, let me out!

She died.

Open the door!

Let me out of here!

What the...

June Lee: Life practice, the third story

Who threw this out?

It was probably loved once.

It’s not even difficult to throw away a person, either.

What rights do we have?

You can’t go in.

Why?

She has a customer.

Mom will be angry if you go in now.

Do you want it?

Mrs. Shin, I’m from Daehan Card.

It’s you?

You’re here for the money?

Yes.

I only have 200,000 won.

You owe 670,000 won.

I’ll give you the rest later.

I can’t even buy food now.

No, you can’t.

Stop it!

You want a go?

Can’t we settle this here?

Fuck!

Hello?

Ma’am, it’s me, June.

You got the payment?

No, only part of it.

Seems she can’t pay in full.

Hey, you can’t even do that right?

Go back and get the money, whatever it takes.

I can’t do this anymore.

I’m so embarrassed.

Get the money!

Do everything you can.

What? Embarrassed?

You listen to me. Do you know what salary is?

It’s what you get paid for selling your dignity.

Yunhui Shin, I’m filming this now.

If you try anything weird,

I’ll send this to your daughter’s kindergarten.

Open the door!

You cunt!

Center Manager

Mrs. Lee.

There’s a kid here.

With no grownups.

What about the kid?

What does the kid have to do with you?

Just do your job!

She...

died.

What?

What do you mean?

Mrs. Lee.

Why did I end up here?

Do you really think there’s practice in life?

June Lee

Apologize.

What’s our company name?

Human Network.

Do you know what it means?

We’re one body.

If corporate fails, everything falls apart.

Drink.

Thank you.

We have a reorganization planned in two months.

Daebang branch could be shut down.

Pardon?

Lee’s family is suing corporate.

I’m sorry.

Anyway, we want to put this under the rug.

If you can do that, I’ll make sure your position is safe.

You could be a department head.

To be honest, you’re over fifty now.

You know...

we don’t have any women over fifty?

This is your chance to break the glass ceiling.

This man.

An old friend of yours?

Yes.

He really seems to like you.

Settle at 50 million won with Lee’s family.

Put it under the rug.

Labor Attorney Cheolhui Hong

Hey, welcome.

Take a seat.

You shouldn’t have.

It’s small, right?

Nice to see you.

To be honest, this wasn’t even my case,

but I said I wanted it.

Because I know you.

Complaint

The family is taking legal action.

Just apologize before the lawsuit.

We have interviews from the other interns, too.

These are the depositions.

There are a bunch of labor law violations.

I want you to make them settle for 50 million won.

I’ll make it worth your while.

I can’t do that.

The family just wants an apology.

The settlement comes later.

We can’t.

June was only nineteen.

Don’t you have a daughter?

This is you when you started at the factory.

The same age as June.

Remember?

The owner fled and we didn’t even get our salary.

This isn’t suicide, it’s murder.

There was another boy who died working at the subway...

That has nothing to do with me.

How many more bodies will stop you?

Stop? Stop what?

You think it can be stopped?

From: June Lee To: Center Manager

What’s this?

A guy left this.

Did you get my present? I like your daughter’s hair style.

You just accept things without even asking me?

What did you do with your hair?

You’re going to work like that?

Do you even think?

Act your age.

What could you ever do with that mind set?

I’m dying here. You don’t know anything.

You’re dying?

Your life’s harder than mine?

I’m in your way, right?

You want me out of your life?

Do whatever you want.

I don’t care.

I can’t breathe.

June Lee: 56 Yangsu-ri, Gyeonggi-do

You’re early.

You must’ve been nervous, coming here alone at this hour.

Who are you?

Why are you doing this to me?

What do you want?

What is it!

We sculpt your soul

Please pay by this week.

Thank you.

Hello?

Hello. We love you. I’m June Lee from Daehan Card.

Am I speaking to Mr. Han?

Yes, that’s me.

Are you aware you’re late on your payment?

Don’t try so hard.

Sorry?

If you keep delaying...

Don’t try too hard. It means nothing, really.

The coat I bought yesterday leans against my heart

Cries on my shoulders

Pleading for me to listen to the story

I was a human

Although I became this garment in a factory and was sold

I...

There's a note in the second drawer.

Hello.

Did you make a reservation?

I talked with you, from Daehan Card.

You’re Myungho Han, right?

Yeah.

Are you here for the money?

Yes, for the payment.

Isn’t this illegal?

You played me a song.

Oh, right.

I worked at a call center once, just for you to have a break.

Can I go in?

It’s 30,000 won for forty minutes. Is that okay?

It’s free for me, right?

Why?

Or you could pay your arrear.

Oh, my...

Wait a moment.

Follow me.

Is this your first time?

Yeah.

Here.

I always wanted a room like this.

Are you kidding?

It’s nice and big.

This looks alive.

Yeah?

I made it.

Really?

Anyway, escape in forty minutes and call me when you’re done.

Just open the door when it’s time.

I don’t need to escape.

Whatever.

June.

Yeah?

Get in.

Why did you bring these?

They’re failed attempts, so I’m getting rid of them.

They look fine to me. Don’t throw them out.

June.

I’m not throwing them out.

I’m sending them somewhere else.

We sculpt your soul

Can you really sculpt souls?

It’s just bullshit.

What’s that?

It’s for the lobby of a new building.

It’s not art?

It’s not.

Only plaster works are art for me. This is just work.

But nobody wants plaster works these days.

Why do you do it then?

Why do you take pictures?

I just like to.

So do I.

This person is smiling, but looks sad.

That’s me.

I made it for my twentieth birthday.

What?

I was planning to die.

Why?

I guess...

I was scared of turning twenty.

I think I know how you felt.

I have to smile every day.

But when I want to smile, I don’t remember how.

This is what you wanted.

The client doesn’t like it. Make it again.

Pay me now, or I’ll just sell it for scraps.

You punk. This is why you’re a failure.

What? What did you say?

You fucking piece of shit.

Hey.

How much?

Fuck...

What the fuck are you doing?

What’s wrong?

I...

What the fuck...

I’m scared.

I killed a person.

You’re crazy.

Get out.

What are you on about?

Get the fuck out.

I said out.

Get out.

I felt sorry for you but...

Go. Get out.

Out!

Fuck off.

You felt sorry?

You’re the same as them.

So?

You want revenge?

Revenge?

What revenge can a 19-year-old do?

June thought of you as the only real adult.

But you pushed him to the edge,

when he was pleading for help.

June left this.

Hey, do you see me?

I’m sorry about the other day.

And I left the company.

I’ll leave you my pictures.

They were for the contest,

but it’s too late.

It’s alright.

I wanted to do so many things when I turn twenty.

Bye.

Thanks for being nice to me.

You know.

I didn’t hug him that day.

I regret that so much.

June’s twentieth birthday is coming up.

I want to give him a present.

An apology.

A sincere apology.

Now it’s your turn.

Happy Birthday!

My fingers are sore from clicking my mouse.

I turn twenty in a few days, and that scares me.

Mom. I’m afraid to live.

The number you have dialed is not available.

Mom.

I’m afraid to live.

I thought everything would work out if I tried my best, like you said.

But I realized I have no more options.

You’re right.

I’m a useless human being.

All I have left is

the shame.

Because I learnt...

people like me can’t do anything no matter how hard we try.

Mom.

I really tried.

But you know what scared me the most?

That I would end up like you anyway.

Sorry for leaving like this.

Love you.

Mirae!

Mirae!

Mirae!

Don’t go.

Don’t go...

Mom.

I’m sorry.

Don’t say anything.

You can rest now.

Hello. I’m calling you because of your late payment.

Yes, it was supposed to be paid by the 15th...

This is his supervisor. I understand.

I think we already told you.

Why do you keep saying that?

It’s no use. We have your name on the papers.

It’s not our fault, it’s your dead sister’s fault.

Sure, but that’s your business.

The deadline’s next Monday, okay?

This was Jaehoon Park from Daehan Card.

Have a nice day.

Seoul Daebang Police Station Officer Dooil Park

Hello? Hello?

Hey, what’s going on?

Oh, no...

A carpet stretched in front of a closed shop

Suddenly talks to me

I’m a 14-year-old girl from the Middle East

Who earns 1 dollar a day, locked in a room

I’m bluish coffee

Smell carefully, it’s the familiar smell of the earth

I’m the god of Africa

Owner of the fruit, owner of the land

The coat I bought yesterday leans against my heart

Cries on my shoulders

Pleading for me to listen to the story

I was a human

Although I became this garment in a factory and was sold

I was a human

Even though I was sold here as a coat
