To make money, the “Hyun jae" heading to an apartment construction site surrounded by forests will not be able to get on the hoist (construction site lift) due to fear of heights and work up and down the stairs. While working, you receive news that you have passed the company's document screening. You have to call until a fixed time to verify your identity, but you will not be able to call due to busy construction work, and eventually you will be able to call only when you get on the b.us after work.
However, no
matter how hard I searched, I couldn't see my cell phone, and now I get off the
last bus to the city center and run toward the construction site. I don't have
much time left. Eventually, he puts himself on the hoist…
The younger generation in Korea gave up many things. In society, young people who are experiencing these problems are called the 'N give up' generation. This means that there are too many things that I have given up, such as dreams, relationships, marriage, and housing purchases, due to social and economic pressure. Perhaps we are stuck in the frame that society wants and struggling? Also, isn't it that they compromise themselves and settle down?
I wanted to express
the psychological pressure and efforts for escape that young people are
experiencing in society through the metaphor of "Hoist" and
"Isolation," and I wanted to support their moves.
