Description 작품 소개

The first hyper-realistic novel by Lee Mi-ye, the author of The Dallergut Dream Department Store beloved by 1.5 million readers!

“Who is your least favorite?”

A big story that unravels in the smallest space in your day-to-day life


Someone who freezes coffee and coke in the ice tray for everyone. Someone who hogs the most popular coffee mix. Someone who takes the power out of the microwave to charge their own device. A self-proclaimed environmental activist who stacks up used paper cups next to the water jug. Someone who murmurs to themselves all day at the pantry. Someone who fills the fridge with cake boxes. Someone who gargles loudly at the sink every morning. Imagine having to share a pantry with all of these people: who would be your least favorite?


The participants of “Pantry” a 7-day reality show, have been cast after being selected as “someone they would not want to use a pantry with.” Filming begins with them realizing that the kindness and consideration they offered for their colleagues have been interpreted as unpleasant and creepy.


The main character “Eol-um (meaning “ice” in Korean)” was cast for freezing coke and coffee in the ice tray for everyone. For a moment she thinks to herself, “Did they think it was funny to recommend me for a show like this for a reason like that? Didn’t it hit them, not even for a moment, that things would get awkward between us when I found out?” (p. 34) before deciding to stay on the show and finding out “what others think about herself (or the detailed reason why she was selected)” instead of dropping out and leaving without knowing anything.
