Jung Hae-in and Lee Je-hoon have maintained a close friendship based on deep trust. Typically, actors do not receive a fee for appearing in short films. It is said that Jung Hae-in gladly decided to participate due to Lee Je-hoon's sincerity and the genuine nature of the project.

Director Lee Je-hoon recently presented a work reflecting the realities and concerns of the younger generation focused on stock market fever and financial investment trends among people in their 20s and 30s. He personally wrote the short film’s script and directed it.

The project is produced by Hardcut, a film company established by Lee Je-hoon along with director Yang Kyung-mo and producer Kim Yoo-kyung, and will be released as an original series on the online streaming platform Watcha this December as part of the 'Unframed' project. Alongside Lee Je-hoon, actors Park Jung-min, Choi Hee-seo, and Son Seok-gu each direct and present short films. The three actors have completed filming, and Lee Je-hoon is currently the last to shoot.

Jung Hae-in began filming the short film immediately after finishing shooting for JTBC’s new drama 'Snowdrop'. He reportedly agreed to appear enthusiastically upon hearing the news of Lee Je-hoon's directorial work. Although he is an actor who can attract major commercial film investments by name alone, he willingly decided to participate in Lee Je-hoon's sincere and heartfelt short film project. Attention is focused on what kind of synergy this special collaboration between the two actors will produce.
