A MIRROR FOR THE BLIND provides a stark, disturbing commentary on the relentless pressure placed upon young Koreans to pursue the Korean ideal of success. This near-unattainable goal is driven by rampant materialism, ruthless competitiveness, and a relentless online addiction that strives for perfection and validation. Author Jeong Mu explores these unrealistic expectations through the moving experiences of three rival friends in Seoul as they desperately attempt to climb the corporate ladder whilst navigating overwhelming societal assumptions. A MIRROR FOR THE BLIND is an insightful story that shines an uncomfortable light on the soul-destroying socio-cultural complexities in modern-day Seoul.
