The Terror Live

Due to a corruption scandal, reporter Yoon Young-hwa, who had been a news anchor, was demoted to a radio host. While listening to viewer opinions, she received a terrorist threat from a man named Park No-kyu, who claimed he would blow up the Mapo Bridge. The threat was immediately carried out. Seeing an opportunity for a spectacular comeback through an exclusive scoop, Yoon Young-hwa reached an agreement with the news director about her reinstatement and began a live interview with the terrorist. The terrorist's demand is for the president to apologize for the unjust deaths of workers who died during bridge repairs. However, instead of the president, the person who appears in the studio is the counter-terrorism negotiator and the police chief. The police chief, who was scolding the terrorist, is killed instantly by an earpiece bomb. An earpiece bomb is also attached to Yoon Young-hwa's ear, and now she must negotiate with the terrorist while holding her ex-wife and citizens hostage on the collapsed bridge. The government and the broadcasting station, whose interests in public opinion and ratings align, pressure Yoon Young-hwa to provoke Park No-kyu by conveying their policy of refusing to apologize. However, Yoon Young-hwa cannot agree to a plan that sacrifices the hostages, so he continues to persuade Park No-kyu while waiting for the president to arrive. After achieving a 78% viewership rating, the news director leaves, having achieved his goal, and Park No-gyu blows up the bridge where the hostages are trapped. The police raid Park No-gyu's hideout but fail to arrest him, and he presses the detonator for the bomb installed in the high-rise building next to the broadcasting station. Now, in the studio on the brink of collapse, Yoon Young-hwa confronts Park No-gyu.
