Netflix has revealed the first teaser and official poster for Dead-End Job, its upcoming South Korean production that blends mystery, horror, and fantasy. The series stars Lee Jae Wook and will arrive on the platform on October 30.
The preview introduces Hyeok Jun, played by Lee Jae Wook, a young man burdened by debt who stumbles upon a strange employment agency offering temporary jobs with pay 50 times the minimum hourly wage. What seems like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will end up becoming a workplace nightmare filled with horrors he never imagined.
What is Dead-End Job about?
Dead-End Job is a mystery, horror, and fantasy drama centered on Hyeok Jun, a man who accepts an extremely well-paid part-time job without knowing he will end up trapped in an infernal work environment. The official poster shows him bloodied and exhausted among the remains of what initially appears to be an ordinary convenience store, accompanied by the slogan: 50 times the minimum wage guaranteed. Would you accept this sweet job?
In the teaser, Hyeok Jun is drawn to a flyer advertising a high-paying part-time job and ends up at the mysterious Spider Staffing Agency. At first, he is skeptical, especially upon seeing the dilapidated state of the agency's building, but the boss of the Spider Staffing Agency, played by Lee Hee Joon, tells him about a night shift at a convenience store that pays 50 times the minimum hourly wage.
With an enigmatic smile, Lee Hee Joon's character manages to convince Hyeok Jun to accept the position, assuring him that there is no better-paying job than that. However, once Hyeok Jun arrives at what seems like an ordinary convenience store, he quickly discovers that the job is anything but normal.

According to the preview, Hyeok Jun finds himself surrounded by swarms of moths inside the dimly lit store and encounters an unsettling clown. As the plot progresses, the protagonist faces increasingly life-threatening dangers, while the financial reward for the job continues to rise, intensifying the tension surrounding his struggle to survive.
