It is the hope of a steady income for the first time in a long time.
Ki-woo is heading to President Park's (Lee Sun-kyun's) house with the help and expectations of the whole family.
Let's arrive at President Park's mansion, CEO of a global IT company
Young and beautiful wife Yeongyo (Jo Yeo-jeong) greets Ki-woo.
But after the meeting between the two families that began like this, there was an uncontrollable incident waiting...
Ki-taek's family is an unemployed family who lives in the semi-basement. They steal the Wi-Fi next door and use it as a part-time job at a local pizza restaurant. Ki-woo, the eldest son, meets Min-hyuk, a friend of a prestigious university student, and he drinks with him as a gift of the expensive chief that brings wealth.
Min-hyuk was an English tutor for Da-hye, the daughter of Park, the CEO of a global IT company, but he went to study as an exchange student, and he suggested that Ki-woo be introduced as a new tutor on his behalf.
With the help of his younger brother Ki-jeong, Ki-woo, who entered Park's house disguised as a prestigious university student, safely finishes his first class and talks with CEO Park's wife, Yeong-gyo. In the process, Ki-woo learns that the painting teacher of Da-song, the youngest member of Park's family, has changed several times, and introduces his younger brother Ki-jeong as Da-song's new painting tutor.
Ki-jeong gains the trust of Yeon-gyo with her knowledge of art therapy read on the Internet, and the fact that Da-song is traumatized by a ghost she saw at home in the first grade of elementary school.
Ki Jung-eun, who was driving home in President Park's car, took off her panties in the car after shaking off the favor of driver Yoon. President Park discovers this and suspects that driver Yoon committed a terrible act in his car, then fires him and recommends Ki-taek to Yeon-kyo as the new driver.
The three use Moon Kwang's peach allergy, a housekeeper, to make Yeon-kyo believe that Moon Kwang is suffering from tuberculosis, and while they are pushing him out, even Moon Kwang leaves home. Ki-taek introduces CEO Park to a fake brokerage company, and Yeon-gyo even hires Ki-taek's wife, Chung-sook, as a housekeeper.
On Dasong's birthday, when Park's family left the house for camping, the Ki-taek family pretended to be their home while drinking Park's spirits in the living room. When it rained, a mysterious doorbell rang, and Moon Kwang, who had been fired, reflected his ugly face through the intercom.
Chungsuk reluctantly opens the door at Moon Kwang's earnest request to allow him to enter the house, saying, "I left something because I was in a hurry." Moon Kwang heads to the basement, then opens the closet, and enters the secret passage behind it. There was a certain underground space under the deep stairs, and surprisingly, Moon Kwang's husband, Geun-se, lived in hiding there.
This is a kind of bomb shelter originally built by the architect who built this house, and Moon Kwang, who had been a housekeeper since before Park moved in, secretly brought her husband. It turns out that the ghost that Da Song had seen also witnessed the modern era of sneaking up to steal food in the middle of the night.
Moon Kwang begs Chung Sook to take good care of her husband because he will repay her, but Chung Sook tries to report her. However, the mistakes of Ki-taek, Ki-woo, and Ki-jeong, who were watching secretly, reveal that the four of them were actually one family, and the situation is reversed.
After a confrontation between Ki-taek and Moon Kwang, the modern age is bound to the basement pipe, and Moon Kwang falls down the stairs leading to the basement and causes a concussion. Modern age, who was sobbing about his dying wife trapped in an air raid shelter, puts his head on a light switch and sends a rescue signal in Morse code, but no one recognizes it.
President Park's family cancels camping due to heavy rain and returns home. Chung Sook responds calmly as if nothing had happened, while the rest of Ki-taek's family sneaks into the house without being caught. However, when an unexpected situation arises in the seemingly perfect development, the three are very confused, not knowing what will happen, and to make matters worse, the flood of Ki-taek's semi-basement house is flooded and becomes a flood victims.
The next day, Dasong's birthday party is held, and Ki-taek's family is brought to the party under the guise of overtime work and regrouped with fatigue. Ki-woo, who brought the chief to his bag from the flooded house, takes the chief out and goes down to the bomb shelter.
Then, Ki-woo accidentally drops the chief he was holding. Later, when I examine Moon-kwang's condition, suddenly a bloodied-faced modern man appears, strangling Ki-woo with a rope, chasing Ki-woo who is running after him, knocking him on the head, fainting him, and repeatedly hitting him with the chief.
After coming out to the scene of the birthday party with a knife from the kitchen, he runs out as it is, and stabbing him in the chest. Suddenly, the birthday party becomes a chaos, and the modern man confronts Chung-sook to kill her. Ki-taek, who sees Ki-woo being drooped and Ki-jeong bleeding and dying, fell into a panic and throws his car key at President Park's instructions, or is crushed by the body of the modern man who fell after being hit by an iron skewer.
The modern man dies with a will called "President Park's respect," but the president, who does not even know who he is, tries to take only the height of the car under the body. When President Park makes an expression of disgust with the smell of the modern man's body, Ki-taek, who sees it, raises a knife and stabes the president Park. Then, he leaves the scene of Abi Kyu-hwan and disappears somewhere.
A month later, Ki-woo, who woke up at the hospital, just laughs at everything due to the aftereffects of the incident. Ki-woo and Chung-sook are tried on charges of fraud and murder, but are released with a suspended sentence and earn a living by working part-time at a pizza restaurant. Ki-jeong eventually died and was buried in a cage, and Ki-taek disappeared after escaping from the mansion and remained missing.
As time passed and the detective's tailing became less, Ki-taek visited the mountain with a good view of the former President Park's mansion and observed the mansion. A German family accidentally witnesses a flashing light in the house where they live with a director and immediately recognizes that it is Morse's richness.
Deciphering the content, it was a lengthy message from Ki-taek to himself. Ki-taek hid in an air raid shelter immediately after the incident, and after barely surviving until the house was sold, he lived in the same way as modern times, secretly stealing food at dawn when his German family came in.
Ki-taek writes down his immediate answer in his father's letter. The plan to make a lot of money seems to have come true, leading to the purchase of the house and the rescue of Ki-taek, but the movie ends with Ki-woo still staying in a semi-underground house and saying, "Stay healthy until then."
