Chun Tae-il

태일이

Chun Tae-il is a young tailor working in the Pyeonghwa Market in 1970s South Korea. As the eldest son of a poor family, he shoulders the responsibility of supporting his mother and siblings while witnessing the harsh reality of the factory workers around him, especially the young girls who labor in inhumane conditions.

Unable to ignore the exploitation and the systematic violation of the Labor Standards Act, Tae-il becomes involved in the nascent labor movement. He collaborates with his colleagues to protest, even as they struggle to find a voice. His journey from a quiet assistant to a determined activist culminates in a desperate act that will expose the truth of their suffering.
