A little bit foolish, a little bit silly, a little bit… …he is an ordinary sixteen-year-old boy who seems to live only for today.
One day, a beautiful private tutor, Ari Sam, appears in front of these two, and a gruesome incident occurs in the neighborhood where human skin is discovered...

A unique story that may seem absurd but becomes persuasive as you read, a sense of humor that will make you laugh no matter how many times you read it, a genre that is hard to tell whether it is a comedy, thriller, or science fiction, and even cinematic scenes.

Into the book
"Hey, why are you carrying so much cash around? Rappers don't use cards?"
At my words, Mali looked at me as if she thought I was pathetic.
“Bro, this is called swag.
A swag just for rappers.
It's a model of a successful life.
“I hope I can be this successful someday.”
“Mali,” he said, leaning back on a chair at the convenience store.
I almost fell backwards because I was leaning too hard.
--- p.27

Mom and I stood in the living room, glaring at each other like the gunmen in "The Battle of the Okay Corral."
Then the bell from the church tower rang and my mother was the first to draw her gun.
“You little bastard.
Last time, you said you wanted to be a cyclist, so I bought you a bike worth over a million won, but you lost it somewhere. You said you wanted to learn coding, so I bought you an expensive computer, but you ended up playing LoL. And then you said you wanted to be a webtoon artist, so I bought you a truckload of comic books, but you only read those.
It's obvious that you're making a fuss about becoming a film director.
“It’s just because it looks plausible, because it seems like a film director wouldn’t have to study and would just lie in a corner of the room and watch movies, so they’re just pretending to put in effort.”
--- p.56

“Do you have any money?”
Ari Sam said.
“Huh? Money…? How much?”
I calmed my startled heart and asked Ari Sam.
“Money to buy a cow.”
Ari Sam said with a slight smile.
I didn't quite understand how this situation was going to work.
My beautiful older tutor suddenly asks me if I have money to buy a cow.
--- p.71

Ari Sam kept the car moving forward without any hesitation, no matter what kind of trouble we caused.
But if you keep going like this, you will end up in the underworld before you can go into space.
If you drive on the road like this, you will fail.
Basically, you have to stop when you come across a blocked road.
It is a matter of protecting life, property, social order and well-being.
--- p.177

▶Let's start, give me the beat.


▶TRACK 01.
What the crazy story!
feat.
A wild and tumultuous adventure story of a father and son


“I mainly wrote children’s books, and the friends who read those books are now middle school and high school students.
I hope they discover "Swag Tonight" at the bookstore and have a wonderful reunion."
_Author's Note

Author Kang Kyung-soo, who inspired countless children to dream of becoming spies with "Codename," is back! This time with a young adult novel.
"Tonight Will Be Full of Swag" is the first young adult novel by author Kang Kyung-soo.
(But, be careful.
If you pick it up thinking of it as any other young adult novel, you might be confused.
Because it will be a novel of a kind you have never seen before.)

"Tonight Will Be Full of Swag" fully captures the trajectory of author Kang Kyung-soo's work as he expanded his world of works across comics, picture books, and graphic novels.
The experience of publishing a diverse range of books, hard to believe to have been created by one person, is revealed in this work as a story that cannot be found anywhere else.
It starts out as an absurdly funny comedy, then becomes a gritty thriller, then jumps into science fiction, and then parachutes into a coming-of-age story.
On the lawn of adventure, friendship and love.
The outstanding storytelling ability that allows one to swiftly cross genre boundaries without any sense of incongruity shows that author 'Kang Kyung-soo' is a genre in itself.

Add to that the sense of humor that will make you laugh no matter how many times you read it, the unique story that seems absurd but becomes persuasive the more you read it, and the quotations from all sorts of famous movies like Mad Max, ET, La La Land, The Matrix, and The Silence of the Lambs, and anyone who grew up watching Codenames will inevitably fall for "Swag Tonight."

▶TRACK 02.
boy's best friend
feat.
A highly developed enemy is indistinguishable from a friend.


“Bro, this is called swag.”
“What is this ‘swag’ you keep talking about?”
“Just kill them.”

The main characters are ‘Junho’ and ‘Mali’.
Age sixteen.
The two are best friends who went to kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school together.
First of all, he doesn't seem like a model student, but he doesn't seem like a delinquent either, and he doesn't seem ordinary either.
It's a bit... ...stupid, if you will, to say ordinary.

Like the two friends in Dumb and Dumber, or the two thieves in Home Alone, they endure the tedium of everyday life by exchanging silly jokes and using boasts, laughter, and lies as lubricants.
With the belief that one day each of us will find the life we ​​desire.
The two boys don't have any pride, grades, or dreams.

Yes, that's right.
Junho dreams of becoming a great film director.
Like Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho, or George Miller! But when my mother heard this, she said seriously, "You little punk.
Last time, you said you wanted to be a cyclist, so I bought you a bike worth over a million won, but you lost it somewhere. You said you wanted to learn coding, so I bought you an expensive computer, but you ended up playing LoL. And then you said you wanted to be a webtoon artist, so I bought you a truckload of comic books, but you only ended up reading them.

In other words, study before you find your dream.

On the other hand, thanks to his parents' free-spirited parenting style, Mali dreams of becoming a rapper without the stress of studying.
A superstar rapper so big he could set fire to banknotes! And I don't know why he was named after a reggae singer...

Well, if these sixteen boys, who seem foolish and absurd at the same time, are the main characters, then the story that unfolds from now on is about their dreams.
It is not a dream you have while sleeping at night, and it is not a dream of 'future hope', but a dream of 'heart-pounding adventure'.

▶TRACK 03.
The perfect adventure and what awaits at the end of it all
feat.
A smart boy may go to a prestigious university, but a weird boy goes anywhere.


The first law of adventure.
Adventure comes at unexpected moments.

One day, a beautiful private tutor named Ari Sam appears in front of Junho and Mali.
This teacher, with her blue eyes and brown hair, is as beautiful as Emma Stone in La La Land, but there's something a little off about her... ...? She'll ask out of the blue, "Do you have money to buy a cow?" and carry a leather jacket on a hot summer night.
I wonder if Ari Sam is a big fan of cowhide… … .

Meanwhile, a gruesome incident unfolds in the neighborhood, where human skin (!) is discovered.
To make matters worse, there are even rumors of private tutoring theft, where valuables are stolen just by tutoring...

The story, full of twists and turns, may start out humble, but it ends as expansive as a blockbuster movie, with bombs exploding, car chases, and even a defense of universal peace.
And that's what's going on in the minds of the two boys.

The second law of adventure appears here.
The protagonist is brave.
If you don't have the courage, just squeeze it!
At first, the two boys thought they would run away to protect their small liver, but later, they close their eyes tightly, overcome their fear, and find the courage to save others rather than themselves.
The old people used to say:
They say anything is difficult at first.
Author Kang Kyung-soo also wrote it.
They say that everyone has a period of immaturity.
Even if it is awkward, the experience and memory of having the courage to do something will remain deep in your heart and lead to the next track.

Thus, "Swag Tonight" is also a loving tribute to the youth who have stepped out of the fence for the first time and are about to see the outside world.
“Our story started as a youth film, evolved into a thriller and horror film, and finally became science fiction.
But ultimately, this is why it is a “love story.”
The reason they take on adventures and the reason they grow up a little more after their adventures is ultimately because of love.

If you thought it would end here, you were mistaken.
There's also a part 2.
Indeed, what will their fate be as they face an adventure on a scale far greater than they ever dreamed of? Day will be back! -(NEVER) END-
