Su Yeon and Hyun Sung go to a poor neighborhood to take pictures for a competition but Su Yeon feels uncomfortable with Hyun Sung taking her picture without permission. Then they meet a girl in the neighborhood who takes them to her house. Even though they noticed signs of domestic violence, Hyun Sung just sees the girl as a photo subject and continues to take pictures. Subject criticizes how photography objectifies people suffering in poverty and how it seeks provocative content. This is when the fragile-looking girl suddenly changes, and horrific fear takes over.
