The Too-Good-to-Be-True Offer
Hyeok Jun (Lee Jae Wook) is drowning in debt when a flyer for a high-paying part-time job catches his eye. It leads him to the mysterious Spider Staffing Agency, a severely run-down building that makes him skeptical at first. The agency head, played by Lee Hee Joon, tells him about a convenience store night shift paying 50 times the usual hourly wage. With a cryptic smile, he insists no sweeter gig exists and persuades Hyeok Jun to accept.
When the Night Shift Turns Deadly?
The store looks ordinary, but the job isn’t. In the teaser, Hyeok Jun is swarmed by moths in the dimly lit shop and meets a bizarre clown. The dangers become more life-threatening as the pay gets higher, so the story seems built around a simple, chilling idea: the more you earn, the more you risk.
What the Poster Shows?
The poster captures a bloodied, exhausted Hyeok Jun amid the wreckage of what first looks like a normal convenience store. Its caption asks whether you’ll accept this sweet gig, promising 50 times minimum wage. It’s a darkly funny hook that hints at a survival story.
