K-Drama Actor Koo Kyo-hwan's Anthem for All

JTBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Everyone is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness' (hereinafter referred to as 'Fighting Worthlessness') has released its third teaser, depicting the pitiful struggles of people driven mad by the pain of fighting their worthlessness. The drama follows the journey of an individual seeking peace after being driven to madness by envy and jealousy due to being the only one unsuccessful among their accomplished friends.

The third teaser begins with protagonist Hwang Dong-man (Koo Kyo-hwan) posing the fundamental question, "​Why do we live so hard, as if we'll never disappear?" This line pierces the hearts of the characters battling their own worthlessness, encapsulating the profound theme that runs through the work.

Hwang Dong-man, a perpetual aspiring film director who hasn't debuted among his successful friends, swallows his tears and says, "​It's not about not being anxious. I just need to not be anxious," under pressure from his older brother, Hwang Jin-man (Park Hae-joon). This reflects our own deep desire for 'comfort' over grand achievements. His brother, Hwang Jin-man, who seems to be pushing his younger sibling towards success, is also drowning his own feelings of worthlessness in alcohol after experiencing the depths of incompetence. Byun Eun-a (Go Youn-jung), a planning PD at 'Choi Film', shows a precarious state with the confession, "​When I feel abandoned, my whole body aches and I get nosebleeds."

Even characters who appear to be on a dazzling path to success face the same reality of fighting worthlessness. Renowned director Park Kyung-se (Oh Jung-se), upon hearing the assessment "​Your debut film was your best," exclaims in anger, "​Is it only Hwang Dong-man who's pitiful, and I'm not?" His struggle to avoid being relegated to a worthless existence, trapped by the fame of his debut, is heartbreaking. His wife and CEO, Go Hye-jin (Kang Mal-geum), who supports him, also spends agonizing nights with self-deprecating remarks like, "​I'm sorry I messed it up."

Director Park Young-soo (Jeon Bae-soo) of the renowned filmmakers' group 'The Eight' confesses his loneliness in the film industry, where innate talent reigns supreme, saying, "​Why did someone with no talent meddle in this business with such ambition?" Top actor Jang Mi-ran (Han Sun-hwa) also secretly wipes away tears and laments, "​We're all pitiful." Their anguish reflects our own struggles in the quagmire of worthlessness at our respective positions, offering profound empathy.
