New Normal explores the unsettling reality where hidden fears become an integral part of everyday routine.

There's Hoon, a university student battling profound loneliness, and Ki Jin, who has forsaken job searching for a surprisingly shameless romance. Yeon Jin, a part-time convenience store worker, harbors a strong dislike for people, while young Seung Jin, a middle schooler, dreams of becoming a hero amidst the ordinary.
