He wakes up late in the night, though, and feels things to be a bit odd before seeing himself in the mirror. Extremely dejected that what used to happen to him at his old school now happens on the streets of this new city, Park cries himself to sleep. This entire act is caught on video by multiple bystanders too, and it goes viral on the internet. However, the difficulty of having conventionally undesirable looks is soon felt by Park on the streets, too, as another teenager beats him up and calls him names for mistakenly bumping into his girlfriend on the road. He excitedly moves to the new place, to a small apartment where he will be staying alone, and then goes out to see the city. She finally agrees to get her son transferred to a new school, and the boy is delighted at this new beginning. One day, the mother goes to the school and stumbles upon Park getting bullied, and she tries to stop it too, but Park feels even more embarrassed at this. Perhaps the mother knows that eggs would be the only form of protein she can give to her son daily and pretends to forgetfully add an egg every time. He tells his mother multiple times not to add eggs to his ramen, for he believes that has been making him fat.
Park is raised by a single working mother who strives hard to manage the expenses of living and education, and the boy is sometimes angry at her for them not being rich. Park has a tough time living with all this, and despite his family’s financially poor condition, he wishes to transfer schools. It’s not even like the boy has to do anything to get beaten up, for he has the same fate regularly, even if he does carry out all the orders of the bullies. Any protestation or delay in this cruel activity he has to partake in results in Park getting beaten up black and blue by the bullies. Due to his looks, Park is also subjected to incessant bullying by a group of bigger, stronger students, who have made him an errand boy to fetch things for them. Park Hyeong-Seok is an outcast in his school due to his physical appearance-unlike most other students in the school, he is neither lean nor tall, nor does he have sharp features. ‘Lookism’ Plot Summary: What Is The Series About?
