I hated and hated and hated again, and then I realized!
Where is my heart headed?

We often view the emotion of 'hate' as negative.
'You shouldn't hate anyone.
It is good to get along well.' This saying contains the meaning that it is better not to hate someone because it is not good.
But is that really true? One day, someone told me, "I hate the sight of someone like you!" But they never told me why.
Wouldn't it be stranger if you felt no emotions at all?

"Hatred" delves deeply into the emotion of hatred, exploring how it feels to be hated without any reason, what it feels like to hate someone, and what happens when that hatred persists. It explores the very essence of hatred and seeks its own answers.
Through hatred, I grow in hatred, and experience a world trapped in hatred, and come to realize my own emotions.
It allows us to look into the delicate, mysterious, and ambiguous world of emotions in our hearts that we take for granted.
Where my heart truly leads… .

Do you hate me now?
A Look Inside My Heart as It Follows "Hatred"

Author Jo Won-hee has always presented unique stories full of personality by incorporating unique themes into her own sensibility and brilliant thinking, including 『The Tooth Hunter』, which won the Bologna Ragazzi Award, 『The Ice Boy』, and 『Important Issues』.
In this new work, 『Hatred』, the author draws on his own experience to explore the emotion of hatred that everyone, whether a child or an adult, has harbored deeply within their hearts at least once.


“I once fell asleep while hating someone so much.
I forgot who it was, but the painful feeling remained strong.
“Hatred” is a book that depicts the feelings of that time.”

As the author said, he doesn't remember who he hated, but the painful feelings he felt at that time remained for a long time.
So what exactly are emotions? Why can't we easily stop them, even when they're painful?

In 『Hatred』, there are no angry fights, nor are there any smiling reconciliations.
One day, I focus my whole heart on the emotion of hatred that started with just one word, “I don’t even want to see someone like you!” that got stuck in my heart.
And look deep into your heart.
The author's directing, which focuses on the expression of emotions through the facial expressions and actions of the two children and visually expresses them clearly, draws readers into the questions raised by this book.
Just by looking at the expressions of the child who became the object of my hatred, who I don't know why he said such strange things to, and the 'me' who is completely focused on hatred and whose heart is gradually changing through hatred, I can feel the emotions of the two, for which I cannot explain the answer.

And the moment you realize something, it shows that you are the owner of it all.
I am the only one who can decide my mind, my emotions, and everything else!
