About

1998, the IMF financial crisis.

Restructuring began alongside the national bankruptcy crisis, people lost their jobs overnight, and household finances collapsed rapidly. In the chaos where the whole world was shaking, the daily lives and dreams of ordinary people were also crumbling bit by bit.

Some gave up their dreams for their families, and others had to endure each day worrying about tomorrow.

But even in that era, youth did not stop.

Despite the unstable reality, there were people who laughed, fought, loved, cheered for each other's dreams, and lived today in their own way.

And that brilliant yet precarious youth came to six people as well.

One day in 1998. The story of six people begins.

Mom tore up Full House. I'm so, so sad but I don't have the money to pay for it, and you're paging me telling me to return it right away... So I tried to draw the pictures and return it secretly, but you caught me right in the act. How embarrassing!!!!
