Nicknamed the "school for future criminals," Yuseong Technical High School isn't exactly the ideal place to study. A rarity among his peers, Ga-min is a student with just one goal: to get into university. At a school where it's every man for himself, he is rejected from countless study groups before he decides to form his own. Will he be able to defeat the odds and achieve his dreams?
**"Chaotic, cathartic, and a brutal critique—juxtaposing violent survival with the pressures of the education system."**
Study Group isn’t just another action-packed school drama—it’s a sharp dissection of an education system that feels more like a battlefield. Through a metaphorical lens, it captures the brutal reality of Korea’s cutthroat academic culture, where hierarchy and privilege dictate success. In a world where intelligence alone isn’t enough, Yoon Ga-Min’s desperate attempt to form a simple study group feels almost absurd—but that absurdity is exactly what makes the story so compelling.
Violence here isn’t just for spectacle; it’s an allegory for academic survival, where only the strongest endure. With breakneck action, dark humor, and Gen Z irreverence reminiscent of _Bottoms (2023)_, Study Group doesn’t just entertain—**it fights its way to becoming this generation’s _Fight Club._**
