"A Unique Anime Adaptation of a Popular Korean Webtoon"
The upcoming anime adaptation of the popular Korean webtoon "Lookism" has generated significant excitement among fans, with many anticipating it will become a sensation online. Penned by Park Hyeong-Seok, the series has garnered more than $8.7 billion views globally. However, the release of the anime was postponed as a mark of respect for the victims of the tragic Itaewon crowd asphyxiation incident, which caused numerous deaths.
The storyline of "Lookism" is unique and follows a concept similar to that of Jekyll and Hyde, with the difference being that the transformation occurs in a different body. The protagonist suddenly discovers that he has shifted into a new body, which is not only more handsome but also taller. However, as he switches back and forth between the two bodies, he must evade detection to avoid exposing his secret. The story centers around Lee Tae Sung, who has faced discrimination since childhood due to his unappealing appearance, and his ability to transfer into his alter ego.
