Netflix Unveils Dead-End Job Trailer: 50x Minimum Wage, Deadly Stakes
Netflix drops the trailer for Dead-End Job, a new K-drama starring Lee Jae-wook and Lee Hee-jun, where a job paying 50 times minimum wage comes with deadly risks.
Netflix has released the trailer for its upcoming K-drama series Dead-End Job, offering a first look at a story where a young man takes a job that pays 50 times the minimum wage — with deadly risks attached.
The series was created by Han Jun-hee and directed by Kim Da-min. Lee Jae-wook stars as Hyeok-jun, while Lee Hee-jun plays the head of Spider Staffing Agency.
The trailer introduces the high-stakes premise: a position that promises extraordinary pay but carries lethal consequences. Netflix has not yet announced a premiere date for the series.
A Familiar Thriller Pedigree
The project arrives as Netflix continues to expand its Korean thriller slate. Squid Game, which became a global phenomenon when it came out in 2021, remains a benchmark for the genre. As of writing, all three seasons of Squid Game rank among Netflix's Most Popular Non-English Shows of All Time worldwide, generating over 603 million views across all three installments.
More recently, Netflix announced Quiztopia, an upcoming Japanese dystopian series set to premiere this December, signaling continued investment in high-concept international genre fare.
Collider reported on the Dead-End Job trailer.
