Haejoon Goh, who ran from home, and Eunyung Baek, the problem child who lives in a tent. These two, ...
I have very complicated feelings about this comic. NOT BECAUSE ITS BADb!!! I am someone who struggles very much with being a bad person and as such, I heavily relate to eunyung. While my parents have never been that physically violent with me, I can understand his usage of violence and also his disdain for it. I think the characters in this comic all have very important lessons in understanding the external and the internal of the human. But eunyungs lesson in particular is important to me because I think I get what it means to want power over others, to feel like u won’t get hurt again, to be this hateful person because hate cradles you, etc etc. I think these stories resonate with me a lot because grief isn’t a process reserved only for the dead, it’s for the living too. I think I’m correct when I say eunyung has to grieve the person he could’ve been if he was raised right, in order for him to become that person. I think that this process of grief, throughout all of the characters stories, is vital to us as humans. We have to grieve our potential, our families, our friends, the image of ourselves, our lives, etc for us to be better people. I think eunyung resonated with me so much because to me, loss is anger, it’s frustration and worst of all, it’s humiliating. U have to grieve ur pride, the history of being humiliated when asking for love, in order to ask for it again. I think wanan understands teenagers well and especially what it means to love yourself. I’d recommend reading this.
