He is outside with kids from the neighborhood when they start calling his father “hair man.” Nak-an runs and tells his father who goes out to find the kids. He starts yelling at the chubby kid, but his father soon comes who Han-mo knows. He stops yelling at the kid and goes back to his shop.

I would classify it as an informational comedy. This is my favorite film we have watched so far and hope the next one is similar to this
