Kang Mi-na, known for her roles in Welcome to Samdalri (2023), Café Minamdang (2022), and Hotel Del Luna (2019), plays Na-ri. She is a well-known student admired for her appearance who remains skeptical of the app’s dangerous reputation.
Baek Sun-ho, known for Dongjae, the Good or the Bastard (2024), takes on the role of Geon-woo. He is Se-ah’s secret boyfriend, who struggles with her growing interest in the app.
Hyun Woo-seok, who has previously appeared in Time to Be Strong (2024) and Dolphin (2023), portrays Ha-joon. He is the analytical member of the group who uses his coding knowledge to investigate Girigo. Lee Hyo-je, seen in Hunted (2021) and The Loop (2024), plays Hyeong-wook, a mischievous prankster whose life takes a turn after using the app.
