A young woman living an ordinary life in South Korea begins to show unsettling changes in behavior, prompting concern from those around her. As her condition draws attention, her story unfolds—revealing not just a single moment of crisis, but the accumulation of experiences that shaped her.

Through the stages of her life, from childhood to adulthood, a pattern emerges of quiet, everyday inequalities—at school, at work, and within her own family. What seems personal gradually takes on a broader meaning, reflecting pressures and expectations that extend far beyond one individual. 

A powerful, restrained novel about identity, gender, and the weight of societal norms, where one woman’s story becomes a reflection of many others.
