At first glance, I questioned whether Lookism could live up to the hype that surrounded it in international circles. After reading Volume 12, however, I discovered a narrative brimming with authenticity and deeper emotional undertones than I’d expected. The character arc of Park Hyung-Seok isn’t merely about external beauty—it’s woven through themes of friendship’s transformative power and personal resilience amid societal expectations prevalent today. In these illustrations lies not just creativity but reflection on what defines us as individuals beyond appearances. Quite frankly, this series forces readers like myself from New York City to reconsider biases we all have regarding looks versus worth; perhaps diving into such an exploration isn’t optional anymore.

At first glance, Lookism Vol.12 struck me as just another flashy comic—a façade promising an exhilarating plot without delivering substantial depth. However, flipping through the pages began to peel back layers I hadn’t anticipated. The intricacies of Park Hyung-Seok’s new life tugged at some heartstrings deep within—navigating his relationships in this dramatically altered physique unveiled raw truths about societal judgments and the essence of self-worth.
I found myself reflecting on what really counts: character or appearance? Each page made me appreciate authenticity far more than perfection ever could—and that’s a realization worth embracing.

De twaalfde editie van Lookism is een meeslepende combinatie van humor en serieuze thema’s, waarin Park Hyung-Seok zijn plek in de complexe wereld van sociale status ontdekt. Deze uitgave onthult niet alleen het grimmige spel rondom uiterlijke verschijning, maar brengt ook verschillende culturen en perspectieven naar voren die nog vaak onderbelicht blijven. Van traditionele gebruiken tot hedendaagse druk, de illustraties spatten met levensechte emoties als vriendschappen ontstaan tussen populaire studenten en hun minderjarige tegenhangers. Terwijl ik door deze pagina’s bladerde, voelde ik zowel herkenning als introspectie; elke situatie kan gemakkelijk verbonden worden met onze eigen worstelingen in acceptatie of vervreemding.
