Description
Book Introduction
Teenage girls growing up with jealousy
A new work by rising star writer Cheongye
A woman's enemy is another woman.
It's a familiar expression used to belittle women's jealousy.
There is no one who is not jealous, and although there is nothing special about female jealousy, people are quick to try to stop women who show their jealousy.
"I Want to Be Subin" honestly reveals the complex feelings of two child actors who, due to their jobs, must become someone other than themselves and seek to find someone else who has what they want.
These teenage girls, who hate each other yet admire each other, understand each other yet try to confront each other, grow up with taboo emotions as their driving force, refreshingly stripping away the prejudices that have been attached to female jealousy.
Author Cheong-ye, who has shown the fierce competition between the two main characters in depth through unique metaphors and tight sentences, is a new writer who has recently emerged with a strong presence by sweeping various contests.
The author, who has not been free from jealousy since childhood, as we all have, brings that strong feeling to the forefront with the title, “I want to be Subin.”
The protagonists who willingly express envy, an emotion that clearly exists but is difficult to express aloud, offer a sympathetic sense of liberation to readers who have secretly envied others and swallowed their tears.

Into the book
There were no such two.
Students who grow up to be good and upright and only say kind words to each other.
A middle school student who makes a mature declaration to run towards something other than appearance or ability.
A 15-year-old who always has a righteous heart.
There has never been a summer or winter like that.
--- p.7
Summer was with the adults, at a time when we could have shouted without hesitation that we needed nothing but friendship.
I knew how to perfectly execute the director's direction, but I didn't know what kind of fried food my friends added to their tteokbokki.
Her friends gradually taught her things she didn't know, but they were annoyed that she would return to her immature state after a few days.
The girls who had approached first gradually distanced themselves from each other in the order in which they responded to the KakaoTalk messages late, and the adults consoled Yeoreum, who was now alone.
“They’re jealous of you.”
--- p.22
“That's your problem.
How long are you going to stay in your mom and sister's shadow? There's a limit to how far you can go based on your looks alone.
No matter how bad you are, you have to do it at least this summer.
Look at Summer! She came up through skill.”
Winter barely raised his head, met the representative's eyes, bowed, and apologized repeatedly.
It was he who was so frustrated with his own incompetence that he had to apologize to others for it.
If this feeling of my mouth drying out and my mouth watering was the taste of humiliation, then it was a taste I never wanted to know for the rest of my life.
--- p.40-41
If you hold this feeling, it will be a waste of time.
The feeling of adults pointing fingers at a bad girl.
A sin that must be denied, even though it is the force that turns the gears of the mind the most violently.
I felt like the worst student in the class, breaking every single rule from 1 to 10.
Actually, no one told me why this feeling was bad.

Publisher's Review
When a cousin buys land, everyone gets a stomachache.
No one feels at ease even though their cousin bought the land.
When someone close to you does well, it's cause for celebration, but the first thought that comes to mind is grumbling, like, "Aren't I better than that person?" or "That should have been mine."
The thought alone is painful enough, and then the guilt follows.
I wonder why my symbol looks like this.
I think I can calm my mind if I ignore that happy person.
But my gaze keeps turning away.
I feel resentful and wronged that my situation is worse than that person's.
The Bible mentions that even God is jealous.
It goes without saying that this is the case for humans.
But as we grow up, we are told to suppress our jealousy.
If you show a desire to appropriate other people's abilities and achievements as your own, you will be told that you are being too greedy.
In particular, women's jealousy is often blocked by the saying, "A woman's enemy is another woman."
Women tend to put down other women, but that kind of thinking is just a waste of emotion and is useless.
“I Want to Be Subin” rebels against all those silences.
The scolding that you shouldn't be jealous is wrong.
Blatant Denial VS Inhumane Exploitation
The person who most blatantly denies jealousy in this work is child actor Yeonho.
He meets with fellow child actors Summer and Winter, who are rivals, and proposes a deal of sorts.
He tells them to rely on him and that he will help them win the competition, and that there is no need to be conscious of others.
His words that there is no need to be jealous because 'you act much better' or 'you are prettier' do not reach Yeoreum and Gyul.
Summer knows that she is good at acting.
Winter also knows that its appearance is noticeable.
Nevertheless, you are jealous of the other person.
To grasp the potential that lies beyond innate talent.
On the opposite side of the year are the representatives of the summer and winter agencies.
She actively exploits jealousy.
The leader, realizing that Summer and Winter harbor inferiority complexes toward each other, calls the two together and pours out comparisons and criticisms.
Her words, “Try to be like the person next to you!” push the summer and winter, exhausted from the effort, into a deep sense of shame.
The self-esteem of the actors under his agency is not important to the CEO.
I just think that the actors' 'commercial value' needs to increase in some way.
The path to growing up with jealousy
Summer and winter seek a third way.
Without denying jealousy, find ways to avoid degrading yourself because of it.
The reason we carry difficult emotions is because it is useful.
Envy is the best ally for someone who wants to surpass a peer rival who has what he doesn't have.
Thanks to the thought, "I don't want to lose to him," you can hone your strengths, overcome your weaknesses, and aim for higher places.
The point at which Summer and Winter, who did not give up on the race with their fateful rivals, reach is revealed from the beginning of the work.
The interviews that appear between the text show the present of the two people as adults.
Even though you know the ending, "I Want to Be Soobin" is so interesting that you'll be curious about how the story unfolds. It meticulously explores the process by which jealousy leads to growth.
The days when I raced with the single-minded determination to surpass my competitors, the moments when I suddenly looked back and realized that my rival had worked just as hard as I had, the moments when I realized that while I couldn't like them, I could acknowledge them—all of these are as precious as my current achievements.
