The People Upstairs

Kim Jinsu, a mundane office worker, learns his new upstairs neighbors are an eccentric family whose life consists of absurd rituals and nocturnal noises. His attempts to establish boundaries spiral into a series of comedic misunderstandings where personal space becomes a collective illusion. This 2025 comedy examines urban alienation through the lens of neighborly warfare. Director Park Minho exaggerates domestic details, transforming an apartment complex into an arena for social farce. The film balances satire of Korean housing culture with a warm narrative about involuntary community.
