What the Busan International Film Festival’s On Screen Selection Confirms
Netflix announced Dead-End Job as a Korean series to be presented in the On Screen section of the 31st Busan International Film Festival. The selection confirms that the project will be introduced as part of the official Busan International Film Festival program following Netflix’s content announcement.
A Temporary-Job Agency Offering 50 Times the Pay
According to Netflix’s festival introduction, Dead-End Job is a mystery fantasy horror series about a strange temporary-job agency that offers 50 times the usual pay and sends people to unusual workplaces. Earlier, Netflix’s 2026 Korean content announcement described it as the story of a man who enters the world of high-paying part-time jobs to pay off his debts. Together, the two official descriptions show both the premise and the genre setup of the series.
Cast and Director Confirmed in Official Materials
The Busan International Film Festival’s official press release confirmed the On Screen selection as well as the ensemble cast of Lee Jae-wook, Go Min-si, Kim Min-ha, and Lee Hee-jun. Kim Da-min is directing. The official materials currently confirm the principal cast and director.
What to Distinguish in Future Schedule Announcements
What has currently been confirmed is the Busan International Film Festival On Screen selection, the series introduction, and its cast and director information. The festival screenings and Netflix streaming release cannot be assumed to follow the same schedule. Netflix’s exact streaming release date, along with individual screening times, venues, and ticketing conditions, remains subject to separate official announcements.
