Introduction
Having survived foot-and-mouth disease only on will power, ‘Pig H’ swears to himself: He has to become human in order not to die as trash. He knows that’s the only way. To become completely human, body and face, beyond doubt. He is ready to give his all, whatever the cost.
Having suffered constant harassment ever since childhood, ‘Choi Jeong-Seok’ swears to himself: He will leave this accursed human life behind. He would rather live like a beast. A beast in its primal state, true to its instincts, unable to even think about death. He is ready to give up everything.
