The King of Pigs (돼지의 왕; Dwaejiui wang) is a 2011 animated film from Korea, written and directed by Yeon Sang-ho. Failed businessman Kyung-min has just murdered his wife and decides to meet up with his best friend from middle school, struggling writer Jong-suk, whom he hasn't seen in 15 years.In middle school Jong-suk and Kyung-min were at the bottom of the pecking order as the 'pigs', constantly tormented by their richer classmates, the 'dogs'.All this seemed to change with the arrival of a new classmate, Kim Chul, who stood up to the 'dogs'. He took Jong-suk and Kyung-min under his wing, and became the titular 'King of the Pigs'. | |

Evil Versus Evil | |
| The King of Pigs (Animation) / int_1645005b | comment |
Evil Versus Evil: Kyung-min, Kim Chul and Jong-suk are hardly better than the bullies, no matter how much you may empathize with them for the bullying they get (or Kim Chul for fighting back the bullies only to be mislabeled as a bully himself), since they slaughter an innocent cat just to make themselves "stronger". | |

Downer Ending: Kim Chul decided not to go through with his suicide, and only wanted to scare them to be accepted back to school. But Jong-suk pushed him off with Kyung-min as a witness. Kyung-min's business ended in failure and went with a Murder-Suicide from the guilt after all these years to the present. Finally Jong-suk is left to a sobbing mess. | |

Asshole Victim: The 'dogs' like Gang Min weren't safe from getting beaten either. They got their own beatings as well by their own seniors whenever they disappointed them. The narrator even once says Gang Min's senior, Song Seok-eun, gave him a bigger beatdown than Kim Chul did, and that he was actually hospitalized from it. | |

World of Jerkass: Nearly every character is a bully and/or is bullied, even the main leads don't come off smelling like roses as they try to one-up the ones that wrong them by even going so far to stab a cat to death. The closest the movie has of a nice character is Chan-young but even he had a moment of attempting to attack a bully before getting caught and beaten up. | |
