Written & Directed by Sann Lee
Asoboy, a neighborhood bar where the register never holds more than 2,000 won. A drunk owner, a regular who keeps the place afloat, a would-be robber turned part-timer and a ghost part-timer who never got paid keep the failing bar going.
Synopsis
The only customer at this bar is a regular, Sang-hyuk. While the owner, Min-sung, is passed out drunk, a robber with a box cutter walks in — but the register holds just 2,000 won. The robber ends up drinking, puts 50,000 won on a card and leaves, then shows up the next day with a résumé. Favorite band: Radiohead — hired on the spot. The part-timer pockets the regular's bar tab in place of wages, the owner has been sleeping on the bar floor for days, and on unusually busy Saturdays, a ghost part-timer only the owner can't see serves the beer. With 2 million won riding on a bet to quit drinking, the part-timer even tampers with clocks and phones.
