Into the book
“Mom, you’ve been a bit angry lately, haven’t you? Someone once said that.
If you regret getting angry, it wasn't the anger you wanted to get.
So, it's better to apologize right away.
When I heard that, I thought, “Oh no.”
--- p.18
Just liking another group can make you a target of subtle bullying.
It's not just idols, it's everything.
The majority who love someone sometimes rejects the minority who do not.
--- p.32
Above all, Saengka is love.
A love that can shout out that there are so many people out there who are congratulating you, even if they can't congratulate you in person.
It is a love that resembles the sorrow of a long-distance couple who cannot even talk on the phone.
--- p.75
“Suri, you also hung a bromide in your room.”
“Are my mom and I the same?”
“What’s the difference? Why can you like celebrities, but not your mom?”
--- p.103
: Where are you?
: house.
: I'm home, so why don't I have anywhere to go?
: Since it's home, there's nowhere to go.
--- p.106
“Dad, I think I look a little like Mom.”
“What are you talking about?”
Dad's eyes widened.
“You look just like your mom.”
--- p.163
My mother hugged me, as if she didn't understand English, and scolded me.
I could feel the faint beat of my mother's heart against my chest.
It was a rhythm more beautiful than any song.
--- p.182
Even though they are shining idols on stage, they each live their own lives off stage.
Until now, I think I've mistaken my mom on stage for my mother's everything.
Could my mom have the same misconception? How much does she really know about me?
--- p.189
My favorite.
The most beloved being.
This word has been in widespread use for about 10 years, so it may seem like a new word, but it is actually listed in the Standard Korean Dictionary.
Regardless of the era, you must have wondered what to call the overflowing affection you feel toward someone you cherish.
I like people who like a lot of things and who express their feelings with all their might.
The sparkling positive energy they exude is dazzling.
The happiness we accumulate by looking through books read by our favorite celebrities, cherishing movie pamphlets from directors we admire, and collecting merchandise of characters we're obsessed with can become the strength that helps us endure the hardships of everyday life.
But sometimes, your favorite person can be a real pain in the ass.
The more you like someone, the more easily you can be disappointed by their little actions.
Because liking someone is a feeling that is a mixture of affection, longing, delusion, and obsession.
No matter which love you hold dear to your heart, I hope you keep one thing in mind.
Even if I stumble, I have to keep myself centered.
I need to be the one to decide what emotions I like and how I express them, not others.
So that you can chew and swallow all of the joys, sorrows, and even failures and use them as nutrients.
If you regret getting angry, it wasn't the anger you wanted to get.
So, it's better to apologize right away.

"Change Favorite Today" tells a vivid and fun story about idol fan activities.
In particular, it portrays the relationships between friends and mothers and daughters surrounding fandom, their conflicts, reconciliation, and love in a thoughtful and insightful manner, and it tells us an interesting story about what it means to truly like someone and to know or empathize with others.
Love love? Love!
"difficult.
really.
“I just want to like what I like.”
What led me, who wasn't really interested in idols, to become a fan was affection.
A video of Bibo that I happened to see a few days after entering high school.
The members in that video were exactly the friends I had hoped for.
They gave to each other, forgave each other's mistakes, and laughed heartily at even the smallest things.
Page 96
The main character of the novel is Hansuri.
A seventeen-year-old high school student who likes the idol group 'Biscuit Boys', also known as 'Bibo'.
They are going all out with fan voting to get the rookie group 'Bibbo', who debuted not long ago, on the big stage.
Eun-jin is Suri's best friend and fellow fan.
Eun-jin's favorite idol is 'Champ', a popular group that is ranked in the top five among male idols.
Suri and Eun-jin built a friendship through their fandom and became best friends who hung out together like glue.
While no one in the class cares who won first place on Music Bank this week, who can still babble about how Champ would have won if they'd just streamed? That's precious.
No one knows about Bibo, but someone who sees Bibo's sticker on a notebook and asks if he's a fan? That's your soulmate.
_ Pages 22-23
Meanwhile, Nayoung was at the academy that Soo-ri and Eun-jin started attending.
Nayoung reigns supreme as the popular kid at school and acts like a bully.
But what the heck.
It turns out that Nayoung is also a fan of 'Bibbo'.
No, she wasn't just a fan, she was a named fan account on Instagram called 'Young Biscuit Girl'.
Suri admires Nayoung and becomes close to her.
Seeing Nayoung personally hosting a frame event makes me feel like she's mature.
Nayoung seems to be taking advantage of that favoritism… .
Meanwhile, Eun-jin and Soo-ri's relationship becomes estranged and misunderstandings begin to pile up.
The mysterious emotional line between these three children, their misunderstandings and tensions, rejection and reconciliation surrounding their idol fan activities, unfolds in an exciting way.
Mom too… is a fan?!
“Can’t Mom be a fan of someone?”
Is it possible to know someone completely?
“In my ears, my mother’s body temperature and my different yet similar songs mixed together.”
Another major theme in the novel is the relationship between Hansuri and her mother.
My mom quit her job earlier this year.
My mother's job was a labor attorney.
For Suri, her mother's job is to help people who have suffered injustice.
An apostle of justice who goes to work every morning looking stylish in a suit.
A mother who was also featured in a magazine interview.
Great mom.
Suri's friends all said they were jealous.
But after I quit my job, my mom became increasingly irritable.
He yells and gets angry.
Suri is puzzled by her mother's appearance.
One day, when Suri was about to hold a fan vote for 'Bibbo', all the 'stars' she had collected disappeared.
It turns out that it was something his mother used, and Suri is surprised at his mother's obsession.
What more so than Lee Han-han?
Trot singer Lee Han-han.
Grandmothers' idol.
It seems to me that Lee Han-han's fans are muddying the waters with their rude behavior.
“Ducking out?”
"okay.
My mom is a fan of Lee Han-han.
From now on, I will be an open fan without hiding anything, so just know that.
“Suri, don’t gossip about your mother either.” _Page 32
While Soo-ri feels confused and uncomfortable in the conflict between Eun-jin and Na-young, she feels even more alienated at home.
But suddenly, I try to understand my mother's feelings.
Why did Mom fall for Lee Han-han? Just as Bibo came to Soo-ri when she needed affection, didn't Mom need something too? Meanwhile, Soo-ri's attitude toward her mother gradually changes...
A mom who searches YouTube for tips on how to make placards.
A mother whose handwriting is neater than that designed on a computer.
Mom quickly made a placard and started decorating it.
The mother I never knew.
But I didn't hate the sight of my mother for the first time.
“Mom, why are you so good at making things?” _Page 179
How well do we know others or those we love?
What about the idol I love? No, what about my mother, who I believed knew me best?
What is understanding?
In the novel, Hansuri gradually comes to realize aspects of her mother that she did not know about.
As I look back on the time when I was mistaken that the role of mother or the mother on stage was everything, I become more aware of the existence of my mother.
This leads to the realization that “human relationships are formed by sinking deep into the hole of illusion and discovering aspects of each other that we didn’t know about” (p. 189).
How many young adult novels have gleaned such insight into life through the lens of one's favorite fandom?
Using the intriguing subject of idols, the author presents an excellent perspective on relationships.
This is why 『Change Favorite Today』 should be widely accessible to teenagers and parents.
