Nugu Complex

Seok-Wu once chased the dream of stardom as a member of the idol group Meteor Boys, only to see it collapse into failure. Seeking refuge from his shattered ambitions, he returns to university life determined to build a quiet, ordinary future. However, his hopes for a peaceful fresh start are instantly derailed when Yeo-Wun, a rapidly rising rookie actor whose career is currently bathed in spotlight and acclaim, enrolls at the exact same institution. While Seok-Wu has long grown accustomed to the stark difference in how the world treats them—himself forgotten and Yeo-Wun celebrated—the dynamic quickly shifts from mere contrast to active hostility. Instead of ignoring his lesser-known classmate, Yeo-Wun begins targeting him with provocations that feel far too calculated to be coincidental. What starts as mild annoyance soon deepens into a painful blow to Seok-Wu’s already fragile pride. As the tension escalates, Seok-Wu finds himself trapped in a psychological tug-of-war he never asked for. He is left questioning the true nature of this relentless antagonism: just how far does Yeo-Wun intend to push him, and why do these deliberate attacks carry an undertone that feels so intensely personal?
