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.
