What happens

19-Nineteen (Korean: 나의 19세; lit. "I'm 19 years old") is a 2009 South Korean-Japanese crime drama film starring T.O.P, Seungri, and Heo Yi-jae. The film follows three nineteen-year-olds, two boys and a girl, are accused of murder and forced to run away. Everyone, including their parents, believes they are guilty, but the experience strengthens their bond as they attempt to find the real killer and prove their innocence. It was part of the "Telecinema7" project, seven feature-length mini-dramas which were collaborations between South Korean TV directors and Japanese TV screenwriters; the seven Korea-Japan joint productions both received a limited theater release and were broadcast on television. 19-Nineteen was first released in Korea in CGV theaters on November 12, 2009, and later aired on SBS (South Korea) and TV Asahi (Japan) in 2010.
