Not even half of the people can get in recently.
After coming out early in the morning, it's past 5:00 a.m.,
and it's already over at about 6:00 a.m.
There are no jobs.
A skilled worker has to do physical works.
It could be chores or anything else.
It's not just all about being expert in technology.
Rich Helper Restaurant Many vacant jobs available (Hall) Many vacant jobs available
You cannot support yourself just by doing that.
The economy is not so good.
It would only work for fifteen days, at most.
A large group of Chinese people are coming.
Our hourly wages are low. They treat us unfairly.
The Chinese people from overseas come in,
so the jobs available for our people are just few.
There are many Chinese here,
and they have no jobs either,
so now, the overseas Chinese and Koreans are almost going to die.
Why else would I go out at 3:00 a.m.?
It's because I have to wait even when it's already 8:00 a.m.
There are too many people.
You have to line up to poop and pee.
But the shipyard is better. There are toilets on all places.
I have worked on the construction site for 20 years.
I was a contract worker at that time.
I just want to become a regular worker,
but when I come out to see,
not to mention contract workers and temporary staffs, it's now...
Not even dreaming to be a temporary staff. I am enough being a day laborer.
At least, I can earn something for the day.
Let's say you earn the lowest hourly wage for this day.
But what if you have no work on the next day?
When I feel such anxiety,
it's the time to call the insurance company.
The people's pension is not based on how much they earn at the present,
but calculated on how much they earned before,
and use some of it to pay taxes.
Even if I'm idle now,
but I earned some money before,
and I have to make a call there, too.
Although being a regular worker is something I have never been in,
it's very stable.
That sense of stability comes to your mind.
What's funny is that regular workers want to have leisure time,
while contract workers hope to keep going.
Regular workers will rest before the week ends,
while contract workers don't care whether they work overtime at weekends.
They have to come to work every day.
It's quite unfair.
Hey, our country is just a trash.
I'm just perplexed.
I don't know how I will able to live.
I don't know what to do.
Anyways, I'm just perplexed.
His life is so sweet.

Choi Kang Hee, this bastard.
He was arrested for DUI and hit-and-run incident.
After this season, he will be a free agent.
Do you watch baseball, my young friend?
I'm a fan of the SJ's.
I'm a first generation fan since it was founded.
When it won at the K League,
I went to have a look at them.
If it's about the final match in K League...
I guess it's more than twenty years.
That was the SJ's glorious days.
But nowadays, they hit the rock bottom.
I think it's because of him.
He did drunk driving three times. His career as a player is over.
Indeed.
It would be nice to be in the U.S. Major League after he was freed.
What a pity.
Why are you worried for him?
He received bashing for many years.
That's right.
He is.
His car was such a waste.
It was a limited edition.
It is said that there is a female celebrity sitting beside him.
Really? Who is it?
Her name is Lee Soo Ri. She's from a new girl group.
I only know Sora back from my days.
Sora, you say? She's beautiful too.
I haven't seen her much recently. She used to have many activities before.
I heard she was dating a son of the CY Group,
and got pregnant later.
If he is the son of the CY Group,
shouldn't he dated Angelina, the actress?
It's not him, but his brother.
The CY's eldest son.
Eldest son?
It seems that we're almost at the same age.
He was married too.
There's going to be a lot of gossips.
It has nothing to do with us, anyways.
Right. Why are we worried of celebrities and conglomerates?
Have you installed an air conditioner?
Air conditioner?
It's about installing a fan.
The one that's connected to the outdoor unit.
No. I haven't done it.
Want to go with me? The city needs people.
We have to be in pairs.
Can I do it without learning the technique?
Well, I learned it within thirty minutes.
If you don't want to, then, I'll go by myself.
Wait for me.

Have you ever paid attention to the weather these days?
In the news, it is said that it's abnormal every day.
Abnormal weather.
What on earth is its normalcy?
I want to feel this called normal weather.
Look. It's super hot when it's hot.
It can freeze someone to death when it's cold.
Fine dust. Smog.
Ozone layer. Sandstorm. Ultraviolet rays.
They always say the ultraviolet rays are strong, so we must not go out.
The birth rate has been declining,
so old people will only keep increasing.
Old people are retiring beforehand,
but the unemployment of young people is not improving.
The number of young people is clearly decreasing.
Doesn't it feel weird?
They always say that the housing prices are under their control.
But I haven't seen such an act in place.
Since I was born, the housing prices have been rising.
Though little by little.
I think, as long as there is one person alive,
the real estate market will never fall.
It is said that there are three taps in the apartment in Gangnam.
One is warm water and the other is cold water.
There is also espresso coffee.
Do Koreans always like to drink coffee?
Is it the same for people two hundred years ago?
If you look closely, the minimum hourly wage is increasing every year.
But everything goes up every day.
Whether it was before or at the present.
People who make money are few.
You know what about South Koreans...
These damn South Koreans...
He said that his dream job and the future have come,
but this world is no different.
No.
Humans' lives are getting more and more difficult.
Anyone out there?
The address is here, though.
No one's here.
Did we come to the wrong place?
Anyone out there?
What is this place?
Is this going to be renovated as a coffee shop?
Anyone out there?
Let's sit here and wait for a while.
Was this building built in the 20th century?
I'm not sure.
This place looks new.
It seems that retro style is really popular.
It's all about the 20th and the 21st century.
Maybe it's fine at that time.
Everyone misses that generation.
It's been more than two hundred years.
Back then, too, there was a middle class.
He started his social life in the IT world.
His salary is fairly stable in the first few years,
so he got married and have children.
With the dream of being able to live like others.
I thought it would last at least ten years.
But after the Schumann Brothers incident, it fell in less than five years.
The IT industry that has prospered in the 21st century has set the sun.

It was his turn, too.
Then, I went to China with the hope to recover.
At that time, the China's IT market was still very lively.
More job opportunities and more money.
I'm really working hard when I was there.
I also studied Chinese at that time.
What was it again?

How long will it take to get from here to there by train?
Back then, what was it?
Now, the capital of China is Nanjing.
At that time, it was Beijing.
I take a train from Beijing to where I work,
and it took me 28 hours.
Whoa! It really drove me crazy.
But...
I feel very lucky to be able to work.
After the increasingly serious disputes between China and South Korea,

China sees that the jobs of its own people are gradually decreasing,

so it started expelling foreign workers.
I did everything after I came back.
At that time, I didn't care whether I'm a regular or a contract worker.
Although he entered at a foreign international enterprise as a factory worker,
The GM should reinstate the dismissed contract workers and turn them into regular workers based from the court's decision.
Stop the restructuring! Reinstate the dismissed! Let us become totally employed! Regular workers were illegally detached!
but because of the frequency of labor unions...
Workers are one! Guarantee the total employment!
The capital's trick of laying off employees is a massacre!
...and low productivity, it didn't take long for the company to leave Korea.
People precedes reason!
A factory with more than 40,000 workers was abandoned.
He became unemployed again.
The next company I worked...
It was two shifts, day and night.
With 100% bonus.
What else? Full attendance allowance. Annual leave allowance.
Overtime. Special duty.
In addition, those in special duty must be involved in all, too.
Only then that you can earn income that's not much worse than others.
The body breaks first, so he had to rest.
Through acquaintances, he occasionally worked in the logistics center.
This really drove me crazy.
Each box follows along the conveyor belt.
They move in front of me at a constant speed.
I have to match with the conveyor belt's rhythm.
At a constant speed.
Once you miss the rhythm,
everything will be a mess.
You keep doing it in repetitions,
and a long time have passed without knowing it.
Do you know what is it?
If I were to say it in the Buddhism aspect,
it's the state of mindlessness. [ Though Buddhism emphasizes "state of mindfulness" ]
Now, even this kind of work has appeared less...
...in the job market where one can earn for a daily living.
So what I mean is...
"I can live well."
"The future will be better than the present."
"I can make money. I will be happy."
These are just fake advertisements.
Goodness.
Do you know what is the best product that capitalism has built?
The rich people.
People keep working hard to become rich,
and sell off their own times,
but no one became rich this way.
Absolutely none.
If you want to make money, just stand where the money passes.
That's the core of it.
The point is positioning.
People don't understand this.
Why don't they know?
Bye-bye.
He's my son.
He looks cute.
He's handsome, you know.
Honestly speaking, my appearance gave birth to such a son.
I guess it's a success for me.
But are we going somewhere else?
Yes. We're going to the hospital.
Hospital?
Are you sick?
There's a rare disease called K.I.L.
K.I.L.
Kil.
A genetic disease called a death syndrome.
One of of ten newborns gets the disease.
Less than 90% of people die twelve months after birth.
The probability of living is up to five years old.
It's a miracle.
Not long ago, the FDA approved a drug. [ FDA, Food and Drug Administration ]
It is said that the U.S. clinical trial results of this drug are sublime.
It has not been introduced to our country,
but with this medicine, one can live ten years longer.
Aren't there any AI's?
He was born with a disability.
Insurance companies don't create an AI when one has a disability.
The new medicine should be expensive.
I guess you're right.
What else can I do? It's a genetic disease.
He can only blame for meeting a father like me.
I'm liable for it.
So I canceled my insurance payments the other day.
What if you get sick?
Children are like this.
What's the big deal about being sick?
I'm not afraid of death.
But I'm afraid of being disabled.
Then, what about the AI in your custody?
My AI?
Well...
The insurance company will take care of it, right?
Either discard it or use it for medical treatment.
I have taken the contract as a condition of returning it.
So forget it.
It's pretty good so far.
But the future is the problem.
You earn for a day, then spend it on medical expenses, and it's gone.
That's why, I have to earn money.
I just heard this from the people in the agency.
A lot of discarded AI's have been put into the job market.
In automotive and construction industries.
AI's have begun to replace robots.
We will have to compete with the AI's.
We still have to find things that AI's can't do.
It all started when humans stopped having children.

On the 22nd century,
after the Fourth Industrial Revolution,
the city that was once empty has started to get filled up with AI's.
The people are back in the 21st century.
The AI's are everywhere,
and the city seems to have regained its vitality.
The AI's developed for medical purposes in the beginning...
...have saved the life of a tycoon chairman, who owns a world-class and elite enterprise.
Later, for the equality of well-being,
the medical insurance payment was added compulsorily,
and the one-AI-per-person system is popularized.
Like the so-called buy-one-get-one-free event.
It ultimately reduced the suicide rate of up to 50% among the causes of human death.
The criminals who are about to die...
...are given second chances and let them repay for their crimes.
There is an increase in the number of street sweepers, couriers, and cashiers,
and they gradually replaced the position of humans.
At present,
it is even threatening employment opportunities for humans.
On the early 21st century,
there was a period when the number of pet dogs was more than primary school students.
It shows that there are more people who raise dogs than children,
but the problem are the stray dogs.
More and more dogs were abandoned.
They started ganging up and attacking humans.
Do you mean that AI's will attack humans in the future?
I'm not sure.
Recently, there have been frequent cases of aggressive rape and murder.
Do you think they are all done by humans?
The world is getting worse.
It's in madness.
Even so,
AI's are also like stray dogs.
The deserted people only get a minimum hourly wage,
so I don't expect too much.
Earn something for a month and spend it at the same time.
I pay my tuition fees with the money I earned from part-time jobs during the week.
Restaurants. Fried chicken stores. Cinemas.
Food deliveries and express deliveries.
There are so-called hotel housekeepers and bellboy.
Burger shop chef and manager.
I was asked what I haven't done and that I should be faster.
I'm living hard for more than 30 years,
but it's not getting better.
I feel like I'm a consumable.
I will be used if I'm needed,
and will be discarded if I'm not.
They said I can resign any time,
since there are so many people who can replace me.
If you submit your application first,
they look at my resume and evaluate it,
and then, they won't contact me anymore.
First, the competition rate is too high.
There are thousands of people like me.
There are so many people who are better than me.
It's difficult to pass the evaluation.
You will just receive a notification of passing or failing.
Actually, I want to know the reason why...
...I am being brushed off and not hired,
but I have no idea about it.
Every company has different requirements.
Some companies require you to take an exam,
while other companies ask you to take other exams.
I specialized in industrial engineering,
but what comes out most in the test are more economical situations.
Language, TOEIC, TOEFL, language studies, and conversation.
To get a job, I studied at a university,
but what I learned there is of no use.
I have been applying for business-related positions.
But I heard that people with good looks are given priority.
I've never worried about my face before.
They always advised me to do double eyelid surgery,
that I have gone to see four oculoplastic surgeons in Cheongdam-dong.
Because I think that the chances are even better,
so as an applicant, I underwent ocuplastic surgery,
and applied makeup for once...
In which, the cheapest one costs 50,000 won.
and even the one which costs 300,000 won.
It's gone if you wipe it off, but I invested it using my money,
so I told myself to work harder,
and if it keeps going like that...
It feels like in a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.
They said to increase public service jobs,
but can the problem be solved by increasing it?
Now, I'm considering going to the U.S. for employment,
and I'm applying for internship visa and training visa.
I can stay there for twenty months.
I really want to get paid that matches my job.
I have a big desire for money.
I have a lot of things I want to do now.
I have also many dreams.
Some places will make people write about future expectations.
I think that is the hardest thing.
How can I write one?
I don't know what I want to do.
I don't know what I'm good at.
I don't know what to do.
What should I do?
There's no way he knows.
It's my first time coming here.
I only see it in virtual reality.
What's wrong?
Does your leg hurts?
It's nothing. I was hurt before.
The sequelae have never been better.
In my opinion, you have to correct your posture first.
You have no energy when you walk.
It's better to be more confident.
Forget it.
I'm serious.
I heard that walking habits change one's life.
Probably two hundred years ago,
after the mayor of Seoul built this man-made river,
his life has changed.
After building this river, he became the president.
There is such a legendary story.
This place looks like a pilgrimage.
Please let me have a work, Supreme God.
Listen to it until the end.
After he became the president,
he began to build many rock gardens in the rivers across the country.
He became president after building a man-made river.
He built a lot of rock gardens,
so what does he want to be?
Become rich?
In short, because of these rock gardens,
it has been a bit rough in the later years.
So he ended up in prison.
Then, in the end,
the man-made river was a bane.
Is this place recreated from a restored place in the past?
Humans seem to love the past.
He is a human clone.
In other words, he is an artificial.
He was made in the NHIC, [ National Health Insurance Corporation ]
was injected with hormones by the institution,
and grows faster and healthier than humans.

In his case,
unlike a natural human like me who was been released from insurance,
he is transferred to the medical laboratory facility.
He is mainly used for drug side effects testing,
and immediately killed as per the procedure.
Please let us become one of your family. We're prettier from the inside.
Before the emergence of AI's like me,
do you know what kind of animal was most commonly used for testing?
Rats?
No.
It's a bigger one.
Three big mad dogs?
Right.
I heard that beagles have the strongest affinity with humans.
They are very obedient,
will not resist even if they are abused,
and forget things immediately if they are treated well.
You're right.
If humans treat them well,
they will be more presumptuous.
He is lucky.
He is rescued through the AI Protection Organization,
and lives in the residence where it runs its operations.
Why did you leave the residence?
Don't they provide food and shelter?
It's just that I was frustrated.
I leave there for that reason.
I didn't feel much when I first receive the announcement from the public organization.
While waiting in the laboratory,
I felt a bit angry.
I felt like I was discarded before being shipped out.
That's why, you are substandard.
Fully-built products would never have that kind of thinking.
Just do what is asked of you.
Or else,
go find your original and help you clear things.
"I am valuable to this world and to you,
so please continue helping me."
I went to find him.
But what happened?
He's already gone from that address.
Well, I see.
Everyone is having a hard time these days. I am, as well.
Go and find him again.
Maybe things can be solved sooner.
Have you thought about what to say when you see him?
I don't know.
You have to show that you have your value.
My value?
Right. Your value.
I find myself so useful,
that's because I work hard.
I exercise and I am strong,
so I'm flexible.
I'm also good at carrying heavy things,
so I think I wouldn't starve to death wherever I go.
I'm good at listening to people around me,
so they need me.
When a lot of people are gathered,
I guess I'm good at handling general affairs.
I can contact them, gather them together,
and set a date to coordinate things.
Especially during on travels,
I can feel that the ability to cope in the field is relatively strong.
I have made successful plans,
that my friends call me a tour guide.
I tend to maintain my positive energy,
and try to spread it to others.
I have a strong sense of responsibility,
so whether it's my job or not,
and as long as it is where I belong,
I strongly believe that such problem must be solved,
hence, the pressure is greater than others.
I make regular donations,
at an amount which is very small, like 20,000 to 30,000 won at a time.
I'm raising a puppy, so I have to take care of it.
Some people will be sad when I'm away.
People say they are happy with me.
I feel like I'm useful.
There are no useless persons in this world, right?
I'm useful...
The question is how to reflect your usefulness.
Exactly. I don't know where to show my usefulness.
I don't know where to use it.
I mean, you make people talk about the desire to live.
Life, you say? You keep saying you want to die.
I seemed to be a bit better than you, so you're living like this.
Thanks to you, I can live.
I'm valuable, indeed.
We're valuable. We are.
You're also useful when there are no tissues in the restroom.
Hey.
I want to be useful, but I don't know where would it be.
Am I really useful?
Up to this moment,
my masculinity function is still alive,
so I guess people would still find me useful.
If I was useful, would I still look for jobs like this?
They should come to me and say,
"Let's do this and that."
Shouldn't they say that?
I'm certain that I will become useful to someone.
I attended a mass at the church and I heard this,
"I was born because I'm valuable,
so there is a place that has been prepared for my value."
This sentence touched me deeply recently.
It feels that things made for usefulness are unfortunate.
The word usefulness is said from the user's perspective,
so we consider usefulness based on how the user uses that thing.
The self-worth that people think of in this day and age...
...is too high, from what I think.
Compared to reality.
So they will ask for an excessive annual salary.
They will frequently do job hopping for building up resumes, [ JOB HOPPING, Someone who had a tendency to move from company to company ]
but the proprietor doesn't need this.
My usefulness. My value.
No matter where it is, "I can go in as long as I want to go in" will do,
though it's just because of my desire and pride that I couldn't get in.
Since when did it start?
Judging someone if he or she is useful or not.
Calculating people to consider their usefulness...
That's the sadder reality, I think.
We are different from those improved products with certain functions...
Yes. We were a lot of people back then.
There were many successful ones.
Must I have to be a useful person?
I guess, I have to live that way.
I think we are in a society that greatly demands affirmation.
No one is useless. That is what I think.
People live because they were born.
I think no one is useless.
We are all living.
That's work to be done all the time.
Because of that, in my career,
I also need to continue to prove to others that I am useful,
and proving yourself useful is a process that can only be accepted out of helplessness.
To earn money.
I might be useful somewhere.
If one needs consumables, that means they are still useful.
Where the decline in birth rate is so high,
and the birth rate is also increasing considerably,
in this locale,
how useful would they be if I can fill up manpower through them.
People wants to make money in business.
Look at them and you will see that they focus on the project from start to finish.
"Will this be a big hit?"
"Is this good?"
But in my opinion, this is not right.
From what I think, the most important thing for creating profit...
It's the relationship.
I will use relationships to make business transactions.
Creating relationships for people who are unrelated to me.
Do you need business relationships?
Just contact me and I will let you make money.
First of all, I'm healthy.
I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, and am not obese.
My blood pressure and blood sugar are also normal,
so I can provide Class A organs.
Also, I'm very cheerful, active, and obedient,
and tries my best to complete the tasks given.
You're too old-fashioned.
Other than those,
do you have something more advantageous to you than the other AI's?
Well...
Singing and dancing... Are they some kind of personal skills?
Right.
I'm better at singing folk songs.
Folk songs?
Hongdae folk songs.
You sing Hongdae folk songs?
Fine. Let's see your performance.

Yeah.
Ah seriously, why do I get so elated just by having had a few drinks?
I don't know either why I'm calling these girls.
I suddenly feel empty and start flirting.
Here and there, tonight I have given up on all my pride.
I terribly try to cling to my ex-girlfriend but she's abrupt.
“You're really immature, how long will you go on like this?”
I'm sorry, what can I do? I suddenly feel lonely.
To that extent.
That's all?
Yes.
It's surely old-fashioned.
For goodness sake.
People used to be crazy about that folk song.
But what is the use of doing these now?
Then, big bro, do you think you are useful?
I'm totally useful.
I'm really such a useful person.
No one in history has been as humanized as I am.
Just because there is a second party like me,
there will be a radiant first party.
Plus, I'm very adaptable to failure.
Regardless of how many times I failed,
I don't get frustrated or flustered.
Am I not right?
You are really useful.
Are you being optimistic or stupid?
Anyways, you...
When did the KIST inform you to discard you? [ KIST, Korea Institute of Science and Technology ]
It was three months ago.
No way.
I don't have this kind of DNA.
Let's go.
But where are we going?
My life?
The more you live, the less you know.
Get along well with nice people,
and eat delicious foods.
It's gradually understanding the process of things that need to be let go.
Found it on Instagram.
It's the evidence of your existence in this world.
It's something that confirms your identity.
It seems to stay for a while before leaving.
It's like doing your best today,
and do your best for tomorrow.
I'm not yet sure either because I'm still young.
A mother's life is like a continuous waiting.
Live and do what you like.
Isn't it to have the most successful life?
To compromise with many unsatisfactory things.
We only live once anyways,
so how about doing the things that we like?
Looking back in the past, it's actually useless.
Let's say there is someone who owns 100 million or 1 billion in a bank account.
But as long as you have a house and a car,
people living in this country are basically the same.
Our country has not yet reached the environment of taking helicopters and yachts every day.
I wanted something but I didn't realize anything.
I didn't join the company I wanted to join.
I didn't realize my dreams.
A succession of pain and happiness.
Life is not easy and there is no way to know.
Life? How shall I put this?
I'm not so sure either.
There's no answer to it.
There's no answer in life.
I think this life is full of happiness, not the other way around.
Why don't we know?
Because I lived for a while.
The part which I certainly can determine...
It always goes wrong.
So what can I say about life?
I seriously don't know.
I don't even know.
Why don't I even know?
I thought I knew well,
but I just keep having false perceptions,
and the older you are, the more conservative you might become, right?
But the older you get, the more mistakes you make.
I have always been grateful for being able to exist in this world,
and when I see someone who is sick...
I asked myself, "Why is he or she at the hospital again?"
It's fortunate that I'm still living up to this moment.
I feel very thankful. I thank God.
Life is like traveling by train. I remember these words deeply.
Because if you take the train, it's like we have been going straight.
But looking out the window, the train has made a curve.
To have a stable job.
To do what I like.
And I even thought I could get a luxury car and live in a nice house.
But life is not a fairy tale.
Seriously.
It's really tough.
From the start, I always thought that I will live forever.
But...
I need to find a reason to live.
Finding the meaning of life is ultimately the process of life.
When we are looking for its meaning,
you will feel contentment and happiness.
Honestly speaking...
How shall I say this?
I'm opposed to the development of medical technology.
People have lived too long.
I think this is not a blessing.
The truth is...
I have lived for more than two hundred years.
Every time my organs are upgraded,
I feel like I'm reborn.
Life is a blessing to me.
From the beginning, it has been a vain hope.
In other words, death is bound to happen anyways,
so we always forget these,
and live as if we will live forever.
So people live with vain hopes.
I just want to live like a human.
What is it like to live like a human?
Just ordinary.
Work hard to make money, buy a house and a car.
And build a family too. Something like that.
I didn't expect to hear these words from your mouth.
How many people do you think live that way?
People don't say such things lately.
Even so, humans can at least have dreams.
Because they are like us.
There was no such opportunity for us.
Who is it?
What do you mean?
Who is it who made you want to have dreams?
It's not like that.
I think you have been using your phone to look at pictures of women.
Who is it?
Your girlfriend?
What are you talking about?
A fling?
I just saw her on Instagram.
So she's just a fantasy.
She's not.
It's just someone I know.
She knows you too?
I think you know her.
Did you talk?
We just talked for a bit.
Hey, women are...
You'll only know it through experience.
We're really not in a relationship.
The woman he met last time came out,
so he came to follow her.
Hey.
Why are you walking like that?
That's too shameful.
Just walk confidently like this.
One's walking habits can change one's life.
Who said that?
My dear, Byung Jae.
My dear, Byung Jae?
Right.
But what is your name?
Classifier na0615.
It's not long since you came here, right?
Yes.
What a bastard.
This little kid.
How can you catch up with me?
Guys like you are alive,
but I'm always better than you.
For the meantime, just live like the way you thought of it.
You will be very useful here.
Do you use Instagram?
Instagram?
Want to add me as your mutual friend?
Instagram mutual friend.
Well...
It might be better if nothing is going on between the two of you.
It's difficult to become someone's fling.
I'm a human and have a family.
From your point of view, am I ordinary or extraordinary?
Ordinary, of course.
Compared to me.
You're so optimistic.
Fine. I'm so lucky to be a human.
To be honest, I'm envious of you.
I'm more envious of you.
It would be nice if my godson could grow up like you.
What you want to do in your life...
...is nothing to someone.
About 570 million won.
570 million won?
That kind of amount...
I'm sorry to say this, but it's a bit difficult.
Well. By chance...
Do you need my organs?
Organ trading is now on hold.
We have too much inventory,
and there has been a spillover of artificial cargo recently.
My son is now in the hospital.
Can you help me?
I don't really want to recommend you to do something.
There is this so-called identity trade.
Identity trade?
Do you know about cars with fake plates?
Just think that you're taking off license plates.
Your identity will be used by an AI,
and your physical body will be treated as a scrap.
Disposal of scrap cars?
Disposal of scrap cars mean...
It means you have to die.
Oh, I see.
Then...
My identity will be used in any places for crimes, right?
No.
Not all are like that.
It's not easy for me to disclose this.
It can be used for many purposes.
Do you think that a business person like me is the first party?
No matter how much money you have,
for some people, we can only be second parties.
So there is that kind of hardship.
Anyways...
Think about it carefully and give yourself some time,
then contact me again.
Okay. I'm going to do it now.
Yes. Thank you.
What is this?
I'm giving you someone's identity,
at the price of providing me with service.
Service?
Simply speaking, help me run errands.
Then, I have to know if I can do it or not...
Hey.
There are no people in the world who only do what they like and can do.
Everyone has a tough life.
You and I.
All of us do.
Humans...
Hiumans can't be happy all the time.
Humans...
Humans.
Take a look.
This kid. You look so adorable.
Hey, but can you kill someone with that face?
Pardon?
Kill someone?
Look at you getting scared.
You're a scaredy cat.
Hey. I let you become a human for free.
Isn't there anything you can do, bastard?
To live is to survive day by day.
Life is survival.
To live and to survive,
what's ultimately needed is a job.
After entering business this year,
at least until last month,
we can do more than the average.
But by November, it had plummeted.
It had completely plummeted.
Because we are middlemen,
and the company we supply has no work,
it's natural for us to bear with these.
Customers working in the manufacturing sector are also contracted out from other industries.
But it's not working anymore.
Though I don't really know the details.
There's very little to live for now.
Sir.
I read the text message and came to you.
Although I don't know what you did before,
I've been renting out this factory for almost a year.
But there's no word.
If I can't sort it out within a year,
I can only sell off the inventories and shut down.
To be honest, I'm also looking for a job.
If no one had insurance, these expenses would have been very high.
I have to lend them money when they have no work.
And there is no such perfect business partner.
To automatize the production,
one will use his or her phone before the work in the morning.
Then, let's say how many products are needed today.
After that, connect with the computer and mass-produce the product.
Such time will come.
A scholar or economist said that it's a limitation on humans.
That economist is right. We have no future.
Why not? Look at the news.
To become a civil servant,
some young people go to Noryangjin and bring books with them every day.
They have been studying to get good grades.
It should be challenged by all young people, but not all do it.
They said companies come out to create hundreds of decent jobs.
They should stop bluffing.
To be honest, I have to resign too.
Perhaps, is there a place where we can work?
I'm not sure.
Then, do you want to go there and have a look?
Nakwon Apartments
It has been difficult since we started our business.
I feel I have made money and pay taxes to the country.
I feel I have made money and I have to pay wages.
If there are no work afterwards, use your own money to make up the deficit.
Because the business is always in arrears with the money it should pay us.
These have been piling up,
and the initial capital has been invested,
but it becomes difficult for its recovery.
It only has to make more loans.
I have opened this store for five years,
and at the start, we were able to make ten,
but on the second year, it was eight,
then seven, until six.
Now, it's five.
Then, we can only expect four to three next year,
and I don't think there is a possibility of reversal.
I just want to make more money.
Now, a lot of people come in without experience.
I think they can only work for two to three years.
A few days ago, my employee who had been working for two years...
...resigned because other companies offered him 2 million more.
If a person quits and fills a vacant position,
that takes some time for the company to become stable.
But when he left,
he took away one of my staff who had been in for less than a year.
They said it will be ready on Wednesday,
but when I ask them on that day, they said to give themselves two more days.
Then by Friday, they should send us decent paperwork,
but it turned out to be a mess,
so we ask them to revise it and give it to us next Wednesday.
Just like that, time passed, and it was time to pay wages without knowing it.
But if you pay a day or two late, they will make a fuss.
In food industry, they only submit resumes,
but they will not show up at the interview on time, and still, they are admitted.
There is a job interview today.
There were six applicants.
It's just a short interview.
Only one of them appeared.
I asked where did the five applicants go.
I couldn't contact them and they didn't show up.
They are joking that I can be an Indian chief.
But who will be the Indians?
Who will be an Indian?
There must be Indians to have an Indian chief.
We have to earn money. You don't want to do it?
I will not work with such bastard.
Is it the time for us to get picky with jobs?
Hey, do you know who that person is?
I got hurt by working under that bastard,
so I wasn't able to work for half a year.
I asked treatment for my injury, but he actually went out of business.
Not to mention my severance pay, I didn't even receive my unemployment benefits,
but that furtive administrator is here while I'm looking for a new job again.
If you were in my shoes, will you do it?
I will.
There's no other else than this.
AI's like me are informal workers since birth,
and humans are formal workers as soon as they are born.
I'm not talking about informal or formal workers right now.
Whatever. Just work with him.
Your work here will only be endless loops.
Although the people from the outsourcing industry are the same,
that guy is the worst.
The biggest reason the outsourcing industry can make money is...
...they can get 10% of the profit from everyone and there is also a lot of money.
They like a lot of people coming over to do it,
and they don't like long-term work.
Because if they do it for a long time, they will start to be sharp,
and take some people away.
So people from outsourcing industry like anyone...
...who don't know anything about the business.
Why are you following me? Go and work.
You said you want to be treated as a human.
Don't you like to be a human?
You have to make some money for your son's medical expenses.
Worry about yourself.
I really treat you as a human when I talk to you.
You're laughing?
Then, shall I cry?
Why are you so optimistic?
Hey.
I really want to see your original.
Me too.
What do you want to do after becoming human?
If you don't have money, who would be nice to you?
Penniless people like you will never be treated as a human.
You can be a parent only when you have money.
Then you are not a human being.
You don't have money.
Right.
So if you cannot pay for the medicine, you can pay the insurance,
and go back as a human. Isn't it great?
What's the point of prolonging your son's life,
when all you're doing is paying expensive medical bills?
Look at this guy.
If you were a human, I would have beaten you.
Is that an infinite loop?
Humans can't live like humans.
Are you curioius?
Yes.
It's my child.
I love him.
Love?
What is love?
Byung Jae said that if you love, you will be happy.
Happy?
There's nothing here.
So I want to get out from here.
Get out from here?
To where?
First of all, I have to find my original.
If she's not capable anymore, I will raise her.
Between the two of us, one has to be rich.
How will you make money?
I am going to make robots.
To prevent people like us from appearing.
How about it?
My idea is not bad, right?
I want to start a company.
She didn't tell me what love is.
Only humans will understand this.
Love seems to be fine without money.
It will be tough.
If you have no money, you will have a tough time.
It seems that you're having a tough time.
Right.
That's why I live like this.
You're still curious of anything else?
Are you happy?
You didn't get respect from others,
and you have to pay for your son's medical expenses.
Fuck.
I'm happy.
Is that enough?
When my salary has increased.
When I passed the college entrance examination.
When I was able to score a goal through a corner kick.
When I got my first salary after my first employment,
I bought my parents red suits...
I mean, red autumn clothes.
It was the happiest moment.
When I almost have no money in my bank account,
but that day happens to be the payday.
It's a happiness that comes every other month.
When I got the bag I wanted to have.
After a long sleep, I found that there was a long time left in the day.
I feel happiest when I eat something.
If I think of that time,
everyone will say I'm lying.
I ate sugar for the first time when I was about two or three years old
At that time, when I was in the examination room. I ate rice and pickled radish.
Oh, it was pork belly with pickled radish and rice.
They were pickled radish and rice...
Right, there is the chili sauce.
Then, when I mixed all three together and ate it, it was delicious.
It's not something to be sad with, though.
Why do I suddenly feel so sad?
I'm sorry. What to do?
But I was really happy at the time. What should I do?
When I was young, all my family members are present.
Everyone laughs happily together.
I used to grow watermelons.
- It was very hard. - It was hard.
Then, when it comes to planting rice seedlings,
the whole village will help.
People are helping each other.
The other old ladies cook and bring kettles.
Someone carried a child behind and a puppy followed her.
Those moments when I feel happiest...
I can't remember.
I just can't remember.
I only remember the past.
It's somehow a more distant past.
But I still like it now.
I just feel happy every moment.
I do what I like to do.
With the people I like and the family who love me,
I feel the happiest, recently.
Being satisfied with the present would be the happiest moment.
Not only thinking about the past,
but also being satisfied with the present.
Whether I'm happy or unhappy now,
that's for me to decide on my own.
I have been on a one-sided love.
I think that that woman is graceful.
and I want to have her, so I confessed to her,
but she accepted me right at that moment.
That moment when delusional love becomes true love.
I was really happy at that moment.
After meeting my wife,
I was happiest when we were on our honeymoon.
There won't be a happier time than that.
When the sunlight came in through the windows,
with our kids besides us,
I and my wife were drinking coffee on the table.
I was really happy.
After my wife give birth to twins.
"It turns out that I can create a new life",
or "I created a new life".
Or else, when the child in front of me is breathing.
When I feel these...
"This is really my son."
There was such a moment when I feel it.
But that can't just happen right away after birth.
You have to live together after a while.
When I can still see that he resembled from me...
When he appears the way I wanted him to be...
And by becoming more positive and finding such small things,
I still feel some happiness.
You become beautiful.
You look so happy.
What?
Didn't you say that love makes you happy?
You're right.
They always say they feel happy when they are in love.
But I'm so tired.
What's wrong? Is it because of money?
I'm not sure but it's not because of that.
How about your original?
That is...
She has a lot of questions.
So you're smoking now.
Why? Do I look like a crap?
No.
If you want to be a human, you have to learn something first.
Humans have a lot of distress,
and release them by doing this.
Did Byung Jae tell you?
Who?
Byung Jae.
What did you say? That blockhead.
I must be crazy.
So are you going to be human?
Right.
We live in a system where you have to be a human to make money.
How to do that?
You can do anything as long as you have money.
I have to go back. I need to earn money.
Okay.
I'm going first.
The next time we meet...
I tried to commit suicide.
I went to the mountains by myself and stayed.
But I really want to live.
I want to live.
No matter what I do, I just want to live.
I don't want to die. I want to live longer.
I think what I saw from the nursing home...
I think an old person was buried alive.
Don't get sick and die within three days.
It would be the happiest death for me.
It's not the life I chose to live,
so maybe I can choose the way I want to die.
I think that I'll be fine even if I die alone,
but the reason why I can't die is that there are still people who loves me,
so I guess I am able to withstand it.
My dad passed away when I was very young.
To be honest, if I don't look at the photos, I might not remember what he is like.
Even his voice, too.
After his death, I found that he incurred rental car expenses and dining fees.
We also have to shoulder the funeral expenses.
Everything costs money.
They say that life is not free.
There is really nothing that is free.
I have seen something like the so-called pre-death education.
Everyone has to go through it,
but we are not prepared enough for death.
If I can't get up after morning,
and to deal with such situation if it happens,
I've always made my wife remember what to do.
If I'm going to die, I want everyone to dance happily.
I said this since long before.
That if I'm dying,
then, I will be happy to practice a dance later.
Nevertheless,
death may be very sad,
but if the course of our lives is towards happiness,
then death is also part of our lives,
and we can accept it as our happiness.
I can't be sad.
My favorite person...
My favorite sister left me first.
So I think death is...
It's to encounter with a lot of good people outside.
In modern times, it disappears in an instant and always disappears,
so I think that you should express what you feel while you are still alive.
If you love someone, say it right away.
If you feel sorry, you have to say it in time.
If you feel grateful, you have to say it in time, too.
Death is a severance.
Those who are left will be sad,
and the deceased does not know their sadness.
It's just not about resetting things.
It's restoring things back to its place.
Even if you roll in a pile of dung, it's the best in this world.
This is what the so-called living people say.
I thought that maybe we are all being deceived.
People will talk about the afterlife, give various explanations,
and said they will go to heaven or other places after death,
but there's no need. I just hope it is the end.
End of the story.
I wish I have a happy memory before I die.
That's all I want.
About this time...
My life...
It's already over.
I almost died by drowning myself once.
Seriously...
I shoved myself in and out of the water.
And the third time I shove myself in...
My life...
My short life passed before my eyes.
Why...
Why did you save me?
Big bro, from the start...
Haven't you been looking for a job?
What about you? You're not, either.
I came out to work.
You.
You're dealing in cars with fake plates, right?
Then, you should kill me.
Either watch me die and leave me alone.
I want to stop.
I guess it doesn't suit me.
As you said,
I think I'm a substandard product.
No.
Maybe your original is the substandard one.
I saw my original.
I went to find him.
But why?
Like a fool, you couldn't talk to him?
His child died.
He was holding his dead child while crying in pain.
I'm still hesitating to talk to him or call the police.
He suddenly got up and opened the gas pipe.
I don't even know that he is going to die.
I thought he was dead, so I walked over and took a closer look.
But he turned out to be drunk and fell asleep.
So I turned off the gas pipe and came out.
I don't know where you saw that,
but he is still alive.
He is still alive in the hospital.
I saw it just now.
I watched that video call.
It's all cloud applications.
What's wrong about that?
What's wrong about that cloud?
That's just...
An AI who has accumulated the data of your child.
That is just unreal.
What is unreal and what is real?
Doesn't he live through the cloud application?
He's there.
He's breathing, smiling, and crying there.
As long as he live, everything is okay.
At that time...
I thought that I should die together with him.
Don't blame yourself too much.
You still have happy memories with your son.
Happy memories.
I can't remember them.
I just work.
I just make money.
I never took him to the amusement park.
Even so,
you can't live like this forever.
Just kill me now.
And you just live as me, isn't it enough?
Don't you want to be a human?
You should also see at it as a human.
It won't go so well.
Living as a human...
You will know how it make you speechless.
After I saw my original,
do you know what is the first thing I wanted to say?
What is it?
I want to thank him.
He made me exist.
And I hope that he can live well.
I hope he can live better.
Seriously.
Life is short, indeed.
Do you find it funny?
Right. It is.
It looks like I have very optimistic trait of DNA like you.
Wait for me.
But where are we going?
We have to go and work for it.
What we can do is not completely impossible.
Didn't you say you don't want to do it?
There should be part-time jobs somewhere.
To live and for the life.
To exist in someone's heart.
Whether as humans or not.
Excuse me, am I really a human?
I cannot make a judgment just by looking at your face,
so whether you're an artificial or human,
I have to do examinations to know it.
Do I need to do mobile authentication?
Or do you want me to send you an electronic personal credentials?
Do you need a seal stamp?
I have a driver's license, so I got a job.
Proof of income.
Health insurance premium. Qualifications. Proof of payment.
I went to apply for a loan.
Right. When the documents didn't prove my identity,
I just thought that they said...
"Is he really a human?"
It will bleed if it's poked through.
There will be a chip somewhere in the body, similar to this area.
A geek?
"Where were you born?"
"Were you born in your mother's belly?"
Isn't it all right to give birth?
How about showing photos of my childhood?
History. My past.
My selfish side.
My faith.
I think it should be ethics.
My way of thinking.
Worries.
Resonance.
I get angry easily.
I shed tears when I watch a sad movie.
Do clones feel heartache too?
I think I will be more shy than they are.
Will they regret those clones?
If they are smart, then I am seriously not.
I have to use this as a proof.
I lived for forty-three years.
I didn't think I lived like a human.
I live like a clone now.
In this 21st century, I live like a clone,
but there is no need to divide humans and clones.
I'm a clone.
What would happen if I were a human?
Then, I will be considered as a cloned human.
Do you need proof? Can I live together with them?
I think there is no need to classify anyone.
Trying to classify things...
...is just making more distinctions.
What is really a human?
What kind of person is a human?
On what standards? Who set such standards?
Through accumulation based on experience,
a human's personality will produce another personality.
But I think the clones would also produce such.
But again...
Instead of letting such a kind of world comes,
I think it would be better if they become extinct.
Artificial intelligence or human cloning itself is a perfect existence.
There will be lesser jobs, right?
For example, I can earn 1.5 million working in a convenience store,
so if I work with a robot, I can feel the value of that labor,
the enjoyment, and the money I earned.
What I said is an ideal thing,
but it's very idealistic after all.
It cannot be like this in a capitalist society.
So whether it's a clone or a human, whatever it is,
in the end, it's just about who has more,
and making a distinction.
The examination results are out.

Have this one.
Is this buy-one-get-one-free?
Yes.
Whoa! You can now say that you're a human.
You can lie without blinking your eyes.
This will be buy-two-get-one free from this week.
You still cannot fool humans.
Please drink this.
You drink it.
You're young and do more work.
Come on. I'm still young, so I'm fine.
Hey. Look at this punk, Choi Kang Hee.
He was tested positive for drugs.
Then, he didn't commit drunk driving and hit-and-run,
but he ran way after taking illegal drugs.
He used to commit hit-and run after taking drugs.
For goodness sake.
SJ lost again.
From what I think,
because of him, the overall balance of the team has collapsed.
The team that is going to be relegated will have to be relegated sooner or later.
A coach predicted it two hundred years ago.
Will the SJ won the championship fast?
Or will the earth perish faster?
I guess it's pretty much the same.
Oh my gosh.
Sora said she would quit in the entertainment industry.
Really?
So it really has anything to do with CY Group's son.
Not the son, but the CY Group's chairman.
He is the son's father.
The chairman?
The one who said he would die soon?
When he is still lying in the ICU?
When he cannot urinate,
and when he is wearing an oxygen mask, did he make her pregnant in that state?
Come on. The chairman's artificial cannot be only one or two.
Does that mean a clone made her pregnant?
What kind of situation is that?
As expected, everything is fine as long as you have money.
Wait for a moment. Then, CY Group...
If Sora gave birth to the child,
what would the CY Group look like?
It has nothing to do with us anyways.
It doesn't matter to us.

As long as there is one person alive,
the real estate market will never fall.
