Discover Your Inner Freedom with 정년이 2
Book Overview
Meet the other side of yourself and bring the freedom from the stage to the world beyond.
The stage of women, where dreams run free and unbound—the gukgeuk performance begins!
Jungnyeon, after much struggle, secures the role of Bangja in the student charity performance Chunhyangjeon. While thrilled to take on such a major part for her first performance, she quickly finds the challenge of portraying a male character awkward and difficult. Adding to her turmoil, she’s confronted with the unfairness of societal perceptions when she is dismissed simply for being a girl after helping a bullied classmate. This leads Jungnyeon to ponder deeply—what does it truly mean to be a man? What defines masculinity?
Enter the enigmatic "Manager Go," a sharp-witted individual in a fedora and suit. Initially, Jungnyeon finds them exasperating, yet intriguing—especially after they rescue her from the bullies. Manager Go, with their unconventional demeanor, leaves an impression. How can someone like them command such authority over the boys? Through their stories, Manager Go unveils their journey of breaking societal expectations and choosing their own identity.
Inspired by Manager Go’s tale, Jungnyeon begins to explore her surroundings, meeting diverse individuals and observing a world far larger than she had imagined. She starts to find joy in stepping outside of rigid molds and discovering her version of Bangja. With pure determination and untarnished passion, Jungnyeon takes her first steps onto the stage—and into the broader world.

Excerpts
"The world feels like a giant gukgeuk stage.
A rational, brave, muscular man, and a kind, lovely, delicate woman.
People act out these roles, just like gukgeuk performers."

"Dancing and shouting on stage makes me feel so refreshed!
But Jungnyeon can’t do this…
Yet Bangja is me, and I am Bangja… That’s what makes it fun!"
