Young people in every era face an identity crisis in a divided society. The global paradigm of the obedient Asian woman mirrors South Korea, a nation split in two under colonial rule. Studying in Europe, I have felt the alienation of living in a white-centered society. This story challenges their paradigm and Orientalist gaze. We have forged our own salvation, just as we did after the Korean War—like Iri, whose name means 'wolf' in pure Korean, a girl who wears the mask of a lamb yet hunts.
