"The 8 Show" is a story about eight characters trapped in a secret space divided into eight floors and participating in a sweet but dangerous show that "makes money when time accumulates". It adapted Bae Jin-soo's Naver webtoons "Money Game" and "Pie Game", which drew the original desires of characters fighting in a capitalist society under the theme of politics and economy and recorded 300 million views globally.

Director Han Jae-rim, who has closely depicted the psychology between characters through works such as "The Face Reader", "The King" and "Emergency Declaration", is expected to capture the images of characters who repeatedly cooperate, confront, antagonize, and betray in a secret space divided into unequal structures in "The 8 Show".

Starting with the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards with the film "The Night Owl", Ryu Jun-yeol, who has continued his winning streak of Best Actor at major domestic award ceremonies such as the 28th Chunsa International Film Festival, will reunite with director Han Jae-rim following the film "The King".
