Na Du-su (Lee Seung-hyeon), nicknamed "Yalkae" (meaning "cheeky, cocky person"), is in his second year of high school and acts like a troublemaker.
When approached by Ho-cheol, Du-su refuses to compensate him.
In 2009, Korea Post issues Yalkae, a Joker in High School as part of the third series of Korean film stamps, which also includes The Road to Sampo, Never Ever Forget Me and Chilsu and Mansu.[3]
