돼지의 왕
Kyung-Min, a man in his thirties whose business has just gone bankrupt, impulsively murders his wife. Hiding his rage, he seeks out his former middle school classmate Jong-Suk, whom he hasn't seen in fifteen years. Jong-Suk now works as a ghostwriter but dreams of authoring his own novel. As they reunite, both men conceal the grim realities of their present lives and instead begin to reminisce about their shared past.
In their middle school, students were brutally classified by wealth and academic performance. Kyung-Min and Jong-Suk, placed at the very bottom, were derisively labeled 'pigs' and relentlessly tormented by the privileged 'dogs'. Powerless to fight back, their despair is interrupted by the arrival of Chul, a figure who becomes their protector and is dubbed the 'King of Pigs'. The two outcasts come to rely on him completely.
Now, leading Jong-Suk back to the grounds of their old school, Kyung-Min prepares to reveal the shocking truth about the events that transpired there fifteen years ago.
