Overview

A young adult novel that sheds light on the “class” system which secretly exists in schools

Book Intro

(English) A revolt by sidekicks to live as themselves, not as sidekicks!
Inggeol whose parents are a conglomerate executive and famous artist, sits at the top of the class pyramid of the students at H high school, receives all sorts of benefits and freely takes advantage of others. Dongwook, whose father is an alcoholic thinks taking Inggeol’s money by doing Inggeol’s volunteer work for him is a good deal, but he comes to see that he is living his life as a sidekick. To live his life as himself again, Dongwook decides to hold up a sign that tells the truth about himself in front of the school. Dongwook’s revelation shatters the school’s class system that seemed like it was set in stone, and students begin to question all the benefits Inggeol had been receiving. The students try to fight against the huge class system that is Inggeol and their school, and in the process find their true selves. The way the kids grow into themselves as the true protagonists of their lives by fighting for equality and fairness, the book shows that what society must hand down to the next generation is not a class system but justice.

 

(Spanish/español) El compañero del número uno

En la teoría clasista, que se denomina con varios términos como ricos y pobres, aristócratas, nobles y esclavos, los niños están en contra de la 

discriminación que causa ineludiblemente la distinción de clases en lugar de buscar una manera de alzar el estatus. A través de su trabajo, la autora 

tira un comentario directo a la cultura clasista que rodea firmemente al único personaje principal, Park Ingul. Asimismo, ofrece la dirección de qué 

valores son obligatorios paraque los niños vivan como "sujetos".
