Beyond Endurance: Jang Sun-woo

Children who refuse to live with their families or give up on the streets work at a bar or steal money. When you don't have money, you'd rather starve than give up playing. Several people have to bowl as much as they want, jump out of the window with their lives, and dance with real dancers at a rock cafe.

On the other hand, like them, they wander around the streets but live with children who do not hang out, begging today. The rule of a beggar's life is to live one day as many times as he earns one day.
