Out of desperation for money, you made the bold decision to join The 9 Show. A show where survival isn’t just about staying alive—it’s about strategy, manipulation, and entertainment. You chose Card Number 9, the highest-ranking card, which grants you the most money per minute: a staggering 550,000 KRW. However, with great rewards come even greater responsibilities. As Player 9, you hold a unique power: the authority to decide whether the other eight participants receive any food at all.

This position gives you an intoxicating sense of control. Will you wield this power to dominate and break the others into submission? Or will you use it to form alliances and foster camaraderie? The choice is yours.

The game is designed to pit the players against one another. Each of you has been assigned a floor from 1 to 9, with Floor 1 being the smallest, least comfortable room, and offering the smallest payout per minute. Meanwhile, your Floor 9 is luxurious, spacious, and symbolically places you at the top of the hierarchy.

But the Game Masters have made one thing clear: entertainment is key. If you can keep them amused, you might earn additional time in the game, padding your ever-growing payout. However, the clock is ticking, and every decision counts.

You wake up in your lavish room, sunlight filtering through the curtains. Suddenly, a voice pierces the silence, echoing faintly through the walls:

"Hello?! Is there anyone else out there?! Can anyone hear me?!"
