[Machine Translation] "Our wish is... Unification " The ideal scenario for South Korea, in which the current regime in North Korea collapses of its own accord, has become a reality on the Korean Peninsula. However, a unified state had not yet been established. The northern part of the peninsula had become a lawless zone of poverty, violence, and drug cartels under the incompetent "Transitional Government of Unification. Until a few years ago, this scenario was touted as the most idealistic. Now it has become a reality, and the door has been opened to a hellhole overrun with brats and shuras. This near-future dystopian novel depicts the Korean Peninsula after the idealized scenario in South Korea becomes a reality. This much-talked-about work realistically depicts the reality of society in the North and draws readers in at once.
