A Real Loser

1
Son of a bitch!
F! Stop! Stop!
[Kang Dong Su]
[Haeseon High's No. 1, Kang Dong Su]
- Hey!
- Don't come, you fer. Don't come.
Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing, you fer?
Hey! Dong Su! F! Hey!
H-Hey, hey. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
I'm sorry. Spare me.
We'll get the ranking app, too.
We'll do anything. Please, please, please.
The Haeseon High kids are here, too.
Ancheon united, thanks to the ranking app.
This is just the beginning.
By the way, Han Ul,
why did you cripple everyone?
I mean,
they could join the YB family.
I thought it was a shame.
I'm training them in advance.
Once they've been submitted by fear,
they become easy to handle.
What's the point of having so many backup fighters?
Do you want to be like your dad?
No.
I should step on and climb over him.
[Study - Join if you want to study!]

[Study Group]
[Manil High School Study Group]
Should we play a game to make this less awkward?
What is this, a group date?
Guys, let's introduce ourselves.
♫ I am ground. Let's introduce ourselves. ♫
Maybe not that one.
Huh? This is no good?
♫ Jun's favorite random ♫
This is why they look down on us.
This is so annoying.
Hey,
what's so great about you?
- Ji Wu.
- You've been looking pissed for a while.
- Do you really have to ask?
- Yes.
I have no clue.
Kids like you
What are you so displeased with that you have to ruin our lives?
Ruin your lives? Us?
I'm sorry.
Why bother talking?
That little
I shouldn't have spoken, right?
Guys,
it's not that I don't understand you at all.
I was also like you until recently.
I know how we might seem to you guys.
We are from the infamous Yuseong Technical High.
But at least we're here to study.
I think you're mistaken.
To be honest,
we're being bullied.
Bullied? Are there bullies at a school like this?
The thing is
Can't you let me go now?
Why did you have to suspend the card?
My mom said I couldn't use it because a three-million purchase was made.
F, what a stupid bastard.
Hey, tell her you bought a watch.
You need one when you study, right?
She keeps asking if something's going on-
Gosh, that must fing hurt.
Wow, the poor Manil High bastards.
They had to build your school right next to ours.
F, you have to bring us money because of that.
Go ahead and report us, you bastard.
I'll stab your parents on the way to jail.
Report me, you bastard.
F. You gross bastard.
You'll be with us until you reactivate the card.
Call your parents or do whatever to reactivate it.
Fing spoiled brat.
Hey, I'll go take a dump.
Take his pants off and take a video.
What color underwear are you wearing today, Jun Min?
Hey, hold on. Hold on.
A money bag I've never seen is walking in here on his own.
Is that a different school?
It's under the same foundation, but it's a different school.
Jun Min is probably not here because they have him.
We should report them, then.
A lot of your parents must be powerful.
Some kid actually reported last month.
They got caught and were sent to a juvenile prison,
but his father is still unconscious.
We're so frustrated, too.
Our friends are getting bullied,
but we have no choice but to sit still.
I see.
Why did we have to be next to Manik High?
- What? Manik High?
- What? Manik High?
[Manik High School]
Is this an art school?
Wow.
Something about this school
They study even while their noses bleed.
I can tell it's an elite school.
There he is.
He looks like a rich boy.
Excuse me,
do you know where the study group exchange is happening?
What the f is he saying?
That's not the Manil uniform. Who are you?
I'm from Yuseong Technical High in Ancheon.
Yuseong Technical High in Ancheon?
Where's that?
Yuseong High is the highest-ranking school in Ancheon.
Oh, that Yuseong?
What's going on?
Did Eom Seok Dae invite him to form an alliance with Ancheon?
Oh, maybe he did.
Hey, why did a Yuseong student come to Seoul?
Are you expanding your territory or something?
Territory?
You mean, in terms of subjects?
I did think something was off.
Now I get it.
Top students wouldn't toss their eyeglasses like this.
F. So many in-app purchases.
Hey, reactivate your card already.
M-My mom won't answer my call.
So what? Call until she answers. You fer.
Okay.
So fing annoying.
F. How badly are they beating him up?
[No Entry]
What the f is this?
Why won't you answer your phone?
Reactivate the card quickly.
Do it now unless you want to see your son die.
N-Never mind, Mom.
It might be okay.
Are these your glasses, by chance?
Well, yes. They are.
Thank you.
Why do you look at me like that?
By chance-
One moment.
Hello?
Hello? Yun Ga Min, are you at Manik High now, by chance?
Yes. Where are you guys?
This is hilarious.
Did you rewrite the history, Ga Min?
Why didn't you answer your phone?
I put it on silent.
So it doesn't interfere with studying.
It's not Manik High. It's Manil High next to it. Manil.
Oh, I see.
Four-eyed Psycho, who was it at Manik High? Yu Jun something?
- Min. Min.
- Yes, Min.
Haven't you seen Yu Jun Min?
- Yu Jun Min?
- He's a Manil High study group member.
Are you Yu Jun Min?
He's with me right now.
There's no time to talk on the phone. Let's leave.
A real monster is about to show up-
Is it you?
Did you hang my guys like laundry?
What? Are you getting serious?
[Se Hyeon]
- W-What was that?
- A takedown?
- What do we do?
- This is bad.
That Yun Ga Min could be in danger.
- There's a guy named Eom Seok Dae there-
- No, no, that's not what she meant.
Those bastards are in trouble.
Be thugs amongst yourselves if you must.
Don't bother the kids who are studying.
No.
My glasses.
Your glasses.
Should we start the group exchange now?
There's something called "The Rule of Two Pizza Pies."
If each person eats two slices of pizza,
two pies are a good amount for about eight people.
We analyzed each person's strengths and weaknesses.
We established the study group's goal and detailed action plans
- to start the study group activities.
- Action plans?
- That's not it.
- No?
Each of us is in charge of our strongest subject.
We enhance the strengths and improve the weaknesses
It wasn't really an exchange since we were there to learn,
but there was so much to learn, including their passion for studying
and their system to support it.
I apologize for speaking rudely earlier.
I was biased.
I'm sorry I misjudged you, too.
It was my impurity.
What?
- Do you mean "insecurity"?
- Shut up.
I'm trying to help you.
So embarrassing.
- I was just informing you.
- Hey
Should we talk for a moment?
Yes.
Well
Thank you, and I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I wasn't going to tell you because you didn't seem to recognize me.
Don't you remember me?
Huh?
You can't join our study group.
You're at the bottom of our class.
Hey, don't make eye contact with him.
He has no conscience.
How dare he try to use us?
You're that Yu Jun Min?
You remember.
Of course. You were always at the top of the class.
I'm sorry I rejected you and made fun of you then.
Well, I was a bit arrogant that I got good grades.
But I realized it now that I'm here.
There are so many people who are so much better than me.
I was just a big fish in a small pond.
I'm not saying this because you saved me.
I'm really sorry for what I did.
It's okay.
I was angry at myself then.
I never blamed you.
Yes, I'm in first place.
I was more envious.
But now, I have friends to study with.
I'm glad.
Yes.
By the way, how do you remember me?
Well
How could I not?
You said your goal was to be the No. 1 student in school at the beginning of the semester,
but you actually made the bottom.
But you kept insisting on studying. How could I forget you?
Keep working hard.
With that kind of determination
you could be the No. 1 in your school
or the country, even.
What? Yun Ga Min, are you crying?
- No.
- What do you mean, no?
- Hey, he's crying.
- What?
- Hey, why are you crying?
- Yun Ga Min!
Let's go. Let's go.
Yun Ga Min.
- You know where you're going, right?
- Seventh floor.
Stop complaining and hurry up.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Hurry up, Lee Ji Wu.
Shit.
So dusty.
- Geez
- Look at this cobweb
Hey, is this really it?
Geez, are you kidding me?
I'll go and ask them again.
I'm nervous.
What?
We'll put a desk and have meetings here.
We'll put a list of plans there.
I love it.
We're seeing the same thing right now, right?
He's in a different dimension now. Different dimension.
Excuse me.
This is a real cobweb, right?
Why would it be fake?
It's dirty. Don't.
Geez Louise.
How will we study here?
This isn't a study group room.
It is if the group leader says so.
Should we start by cleaning, then?
Look at this.
It doesn't even work.
Can't believe I'm removing cobweb.
Move.
Just go. You can go.
- Behave yourself.
- You be good.
Let me.
Okay.
Thank you.
No, it's nothing.
Han Gyeong,
did someone at your level have to go there
by giving up on the Teacher Certification Exam?
I have something I need to do there.
Ms. Lee!
[Teachers' Room]
So, you want a disciplinary committee meeting to punish Pi Han Ul?
Yes. That's the only way for Yuseong High to change.
I need your support, sir.
You need my support?
You must know what this means.
Are you someone who can pull this off?
I will give it a try.
Giving it a try won't do.
I need to risk a lot, too.
What I'm asking is
what is it about you that I could possibly trust that I should bet on this?
You have nothing.
What gives you the confidence to ask me this?
[Disciplinary Committee Meeting for Pi Han Ul]
- I can change it.
- Change what?
This school.
I'm sorry but at my age,
you realize you can't change the world
with nothing but a cheeky spirit like that.
That's why I'm not interested in betting on you.
Instead, I want to test your abilities.
What do you say?
[Yuseong Tech High Study Group Members]
How could this work out for us?
- I know.
- Yun Ga Min, you're the best!
You're the best, Group Leader!
What the f? You made the smoking room so pretty.
This is the study group room.
Put out the cigarette unless you want your mouth on the floor.
What? What? What? Study group?
You're losers who are terrible at studying.
Give me a freaking break. Seriously.
Hey, try to think for a second.
Just because you put your heads together and did stuff here,
you won't be as smart as a person.
There will be static electricity.
- Hey, you-
- Calm down.
You have to deal with more than the Vice Principal if you hurt him.
Oh, it's you.
The No. 1 fighter of the 10th grade.
I'm the No. 1 in grades.
[Kim Ho Min / No. 1 in grades in 10th grade]
Should I stop?
Will you hit me if I said no?
Being a good fighter is nothing to brag about in school.
You're an idiot who can't even study.
That son of a bitch.
You know what? Not knowing when to give up
means you're fing stupid, too.
Hey, Kim Se Hyeon,
what are you doing here?
Do you have time to jerk around while playing the king of the losers?
Shouldn't you start making money soon?
Are you tutoring them privately?
Do you guys even know he's a poor bastard?
Anyway, study hard, guys.
I'd love a friendly competition.
Oh, well
Ms. Lee, hello.
Fighting, everyone.
Fighting.
- Se Hyeon.
- Yes.
How much time do we have left until the midterms?
- Why?
- I need to beat him in grades.
First of all, you need to know yourselves clearly.
Here are your placement test rankings.
Lee Ji Wu.
Average score, 14 points.
Out of 220 students, you're in 180th place.
Whoa.
- What?
- Lee Jun.
- Average score, 31 points.
- What?
132nd place in the entire school.
Geez, I'm worse than gochujang?
I fight with my mind, okay?
I'll pluck your eyeballs.
- Choi Hee Won.
- Yes.
Average score, 29.
162nd place in the entire school.
Anyone would think Hee Won is a good student.
Yun Ga Min.
- Yes.
- Your total score is 25 points.
It's not the average score. It's the total score.
The average score is 8 points.
You're in 219th place in the entire school.
Four-eyed Psycho, 8 points?
Hey, you'd get a better score by guessing.
Lastly, it's Kim Se Hyeon.
Average score, 95 points.
Second place in the entire school.
- Wow.
- Second place?
Shit, you're a liar.
I'm impressed.
It's nothing.
Everyone but Se Hyeon is at the bottom, right?
But our grades could miraculously improve if we tried from now on, right?
Ga Min,
there's no such thing as a miracle in grades.
If you were in a normal high school, I mean.
But this is Yuseong Tech High.
We have 20 days until the midterms.
You can do it if you do as I say from now on.
- I'm hungry.
- Still?
- Yes.
- Right, I heard something earlier.
What is it?
- I heard you run a study group at school.
- Yes.
Improve all of their overall rankings by 10, then.
Why? Would it be too difficult?
No.
I'll give it a try.
I'll improve all of their rankings by at least 10.
By 10 rankings each?
Yes.
- All of us?
- Yes.
I'm jealous, Four-eyed Psycho.
It'd be so easy for you.
How about Se Hyeon, then?
Does he have to be in 1st place since he's in 2nd place?
- Wow.
- How intense.
Guys, I'll get going now.
What? Aren't you hungry? Let's get tteokbokki.
I'm meeting someone. I need to go now. Bye.
What's wrong with him? Is he shocked because he has to be in 1st place?
Tteokbokki, yes?
- Yes.
- Yes? Yes?
Let's get tteokbokki.
I'm on my way now.
You bastard. Do you think I was joking?
Come to the site as soon as you're off school!
- Kim Se Hyeon.
- Yes.
Choi Jong Hwa.
[English - 100 points]
Yes.
Kim Ho Min.
You should be stuck at home.
Why do you go around town and get scammed?
I didn't do that to only feed myself.
How long will we keep living like this?
F!
You loser!
- Seriously!
- You son of a bitch!
- Die, die!
- Fine! I'll leave!
Please stop!
Enough is enough! Stop!
Go kill yourself!
Poor bastard.
He can't come to our playground because he doesn't live in our building.
Why does he keep coming here?
Are you a beggar?
Se Hyeon.
Hey.
I thought you were meeting someone.
Yes, I am.
Should we walk together?
I think we're going in the same direction.
Together?
Let's do it later if you don't want to.
I-It's not like that.
Let's walk together. I'd like to.
Okay.
Thank you for what you did that day.
That day?
At the police station.
You accompanied me there.
Oh, that day?
I didn't do much then.
You explained the situation to the police calmly.
I couldn't have even gone in if I were alone.
It's nothing.
Yun Ga Min was the impressive one.
He destroyed the real thugs
and he saved Manil High by fighting the bad kids, too.
He reminds me of a superhero in a comic.
If Yun Ga Min were the main character,
I'm probably Friend No. 3 next to him?
That's probably all I am.
I think you underestimate yourself too much.
You destroyed the computer with the video in front of the disciplinary committee.
Not anyone can do stuff like that.
I think Ga Min is very impressive,
but I also think you're really
really impressive.
- Really?
- Yes.
Huh? It's the poor bastard.
Come here.
Gosh, you immature bastard.
You're going out with a girl now?
You terrible son.
Come here. Come here. Come here.
You're a forever loser because you live such a pathetic life.
Stop it.
Who's worrying about whom? You bitch.
Hey, I'm glad I caught you today.
You bitch. Hey.
You had your fun last time.
Go ahead and do it again.
Why? Are you embarrassed in front of the boys?
Hey!
You'd better stop.
Stop what? Stop what?
Stop what, you fer?
You're losers who can't fend for yourselves, but you're acting cool.
Why does someone like you hang out with this loser?
He can't even buy you a roll of gimbap.
Look at him.
He actually dolled up for her.
Right, Se Hyeon?
Wow.
- Wow.
- Se Hyeon
You thought you could do something if you fought me in that moment?
Does being Yun Ga Min's underling make you feel like somebody, too?
What a fing loser.
Guys,
he needs to do physical labor. Don't break anything.
Beat him up enough and let him go.
- See you later. Bye.
- You lose if you don't play. Rock, paper, scissors.
Hey, are you okay?
Are you out of your mind?
You want to fight me right now?
No, I'm playing a game. Ddakbang game.
Let's just play 10 games to determine who's the winner and loser.
You're eager to get expelled, aren't you?
You lose if you don't play. Rock, paper, scissors.
I won again.
It's 2:0.
You lose if you don't play. Rock, paper, scissors.
You didn't play this time.
- Go on and play.
- Take pictures. Take pictures.
I hate getting pictures taken.
Sorry.
- Se Hyeon.
- Let's run.
Are you okay?
Se Hyeon.
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
It's okay.
I'm okay.
He called us losers, but we're winners. Right?
You're the winner.
What?
I'll leave now.
♫ My days on these narrow streets ♫
Welcome home-
You bastard. Won't you make money?
I told you to come to the site and learn the job.
Is that really that hard?
Did I say I won't make money?
I'll do it once I graduate high school.
How about the debt?
What will you do with the debt your mom created?
I said I'll pay it.
It's not even my debt, but I said I'll pay it.
Listen to this bastard.
How dare you talk, looking at me like that?
Father,
being humiliated by your colleagues
matters more than the blood on my face, right?
You bastard. You talk just like your mother, don't you?
You always say, "Your mother, your mother," because of some debt.
She was your wife before she was my mom.
Go ahead! Be like your mother!
Why are you here now?
Come to my place.
What?
To be honest,
I have something in common with you.
So, come to my place.
It's okay. You go on.
Where will you sleep?
No one takes you in past 10.
If we take a taxi and go home before the curfew time,
my mom won't say anything, either.
How about the taxi fare?
It'd be more than 10,000 won from here.
It's okay. I'll pay.
You don't really understand
why I'm like this over just 10,000 won.
Friends can help each other.
Right. Friends can help each other.
I'm so grateful you're helping me.
But why are you the only one helping?
Because I always lose?
That's right. I've never won.
At school or at home.
Se Hyeon.
Just pretend I'm being difficult.
It's getting late. Go home now.
♫ I close my eyes while being paused in a painful memory ♫
♫ I fall asleep after wandering around for a while ♫
Twenty-five minutes to go until 10.
♫ As long as you'd be able to hear ♫
♫ All by myself ♫
♫ Is there anyone by my side? ♫
Gosh, seriously.
He called us losers, but we're winners. Right?
You're the winner.
Because I always lose?
That's right. I've never won.
At school or at home.
♫ Is there anyone by my side? ♫
[Second Semester Midterm Exam]
♫ My days on these narrow streets ♫
♫ Why are they so cold? ♫
[9:59 p.m.]
What? Hey, bastard.
You really have the worst luck, huh?
Hey, you know
I'm fing furious.
I couldn't just go home.
I need to beat you up more to get some sleep.
Let me beat you a bit.
F off.
Today
I've been beaten up all day, you son of a bitch!
Are you bastard gone mad?
Then, get beat up for the rest of the day, you son of a bitch.
It must be your dad. Answer it. Answer it. Answer it.
Tell him you'll be late because you're getting beaten up.
Five, four
three, two, one.
Look at you.
Look at you, bastard.
What are you doing?
Shit.
F!
You're doing great. Put the phone in your pocket
and assume the boxing position.
Are you watching me right now?
- Didn't you go home?
- No.
I'm watching you. Don't worry.
Clench the right first tightly.
Pretend there's a wall on your left.
You're punching that wall.
What? What are you saying? What wall?
Crazy bastard. What are you saying? Are you insane?
Don't you want to win?
Do it now.
- Do the same thing again.
- You blocked it? F!
Turn to the left.
Sit to the right.
Good job. Dodge from now on and
Hello? Hello? Yun Ga Min.
Hello? Hello?
You son of a bitch. You're dead today.
You fer.
Roll backward. Backward.
No
Cover your face, roll to the right, and get up.
Hello? Hello-
[0%]
It doesn't have to be a a great victory.
Get up.
What comforts you from losing
isn't the perfect score test result.
Huh?
Huh?
One circle is enough.
