The role solidified Jung as a leading Korean actor and was also based on his real-life experience as a high school dropout.
Three friends in Korea drop out of high school. Min is a feared brawler whose mother is a widowed drunk. The story traces his journey from high school to the underworld as his best friend Tae-soo introduces him to life in the mob. Hwan-gyu is their other friend who seems unable to hold down a job. Further complicating Min's life is the volatile Romy, a girl from an upper-class family with dreams of going to a prestigious college.
