Korean Survival Manual for Space Travelers

In stock(｡◕∀◕｡)

"I can guarantee that South Korea will be the most contradictory country you have ever experienced."

"If you want to live peacefully as an ordinary Korean and don't want to argue with others, please try to follow the instructions in this book. Although in the process of doing so, some people may criticize you as a "discriminator", but at least you will not be fired or isolated in the workplace, nor will you be excluded by a specific group." - Page 4

"South Korea is a typical society where everyone survives on their own. I don't know how long you will stay here, but please protect yourself. The current ruling system has neither the will to protect the people nor the intention to express comfort for the suffering of the people." - Page 90

This is a survival guide for space travelers to smoothly adapt to life in Korea. The book is short and light, and the author 희석 is also the representative of the independent publisher 발코니. In the book, he introduces the shameful phenomena we face every day: Korea supports sexism, Korea prefers no kids zone, Korea advocates academicism and gambles its soul on real estate, etc.

This book, which sold out in the independent publishing section of the 2023 Seoul International Book Fair and sparked controversy, is a black comedy that makes people feel ashamed and forced to smile and agree with the naked truth: "Yes, this is Korea." Those who have ever wondered "Why is Korea like this?" will nod and laugh and say, "It turns out that this is our weird and crazy country."

Extremely ironic and realistic. If you feel offended while reading, remember to turn to the last page :)
