Synopsis

Yeong-woo, a freshman majoring in physical education, has a crush on his classmate, Hee-joo, who is having a trouble in settling into the new strict group environment with mandatory daily physical training meetings. One day, Hee-joo is harshly treated by a senior named Chang-soo. So Sung-bin, another freshman, saves her by confronting Chang-soo in a fist fight. After the incident, Yeong-woo feels anxious when Hee-joo calls Sung-bin 'cool'. Yeong-woo tries to win her back by revealing the truth of enforced daily physical trainings through a Facebook post. 

Director's Note

The majority of witnesses of today's social irrationalities decide to turn away from reality. In a society where conformity into irrationality has become a norm or even a virtue, cowardice consequently has become ordinary and those few minorities who stand up for justice have been reprobated. Furthermore, the ones who have resisted against the unjust authority are eventually forced to return to the coward society filled with ordinary, compliant people. That is how social irrationalities have maintained and expanded their identities.
