Description
Book Introduction
Luminous is expanding its stage!
How to find your own light without comparing?
The real K-pop idol survival story!
A passionate growth story of children who vividly portray their sparkling dreams.
Don't be swayed by the numbers on the scale
The way to protect my precious self
As puberty begins and children struggle to adapt to the unfamiliar changes of secondary sexual characteristics, the bodies they see in the media every day are vastly different from reality.
Seeing stars with extremely thin, flawless skin and long limbs fuels an obsession with appearance.
Even as early as the upper elementary grades, children often begin to look in the mirror and ask themselves, “Why do I look like this?”
This book is a delicate story that speaks to the anxious feelings of that time.
Hayani, the main character of 『Luminous Debuts Today 4』, is an idol, but she is not free from the obsession with appearance.
Although she likes desserts and is chubbier than the other members, Hayani is still considered to be on the thin side.
Still, I keep blaming myself in front of the small stage costumes and feel intimidated every time I measure them.
In the end, Hayani goes on an extreme diet, binge eating and vomiting repeatedly to calm her anxious mind.
Then, when she almost collapsed on stage, Hayani said, “I thought I should lose some weight.
“It felt like there was nothing else I could do,” he confesses.
Yeol-eum, who was watching the scene, speaks firmly.
“But that’s not right.” This scene poses an important question to the reader.
Why do we all want the same body? Why do we have to constantly strive for a slim figure? Rather than simply conforming to society's standards, we need to be able to ask those standards, "Is that really right?"
This book realistically portrays the distorted thinking that plagues the body and mind, and leads us to think critically about a culture that evaluates the body by uniform standards.
Additionally, Hayani's honest story will give children struggling with appearance obsession and eating disorders the courage to accept their bodies and recover healthily.

Publisher's Review
From inferiority complex to self-esteem,
The heart that friendship holds
The experience of trying to accomplish something with friends is valuable in itself.
You can take on challenges that are difficult to do alone, endure difficult times together, and share the joy of success.
However, this process is not always exciting or easy.
When you start comparing yourself to your friends, your self-esteem hits rock bottom and you may become depressed.
Everyone has different strengths and different times when they shine, but during adolescence, it is difficult to accept these differences as they are because it is easy to identify with one's friends.
I feel anxious because I feel like I'm the only one falling behind, and I only feel what I don't have while not seeing the strengths I have.
In "Luminous Debuts Today 4," Hayani takes longer than the other members to decide on the direction of her individual activities.
While Minah is gaining attention as an actress, Taeri and Somin are gaining attention for their self-composed songs, and Yeol-eum is gaining attention for appearing on variety shows, Hayani feels like she's just wandering around in circles.
Such feelings of inferiority eventually lead to disappointment in oneself and self-hatred to the point where one cannot even be honest with one's friends.
But Hayani musters up her courage and speaks out her heart.
Contrary to expectations, that confession brings Luminous closer together.
In particular, Yeol-eum-i said, “A star is a star because it emits its own light.
Your mere presence makes me shine.
“You are the only one who can extinguish that light,” he says earnestly.
Hayani begins to let go of her self-criticism little by little and gains the strength to reflect on herself.
Through sincere friendship, Hayani regains her self-esteem.
Although she still doesn't have a unique voice like Taeri or a flashy appearance like Minah, she's no longer swayed by comparisons.
《Luminous Debuts Today 4》 depicts with a warm gaze that while feelings of comparison and inferiority are inevitable in peer relationships, recovery and growth also occur within those relationships.
Through this book, young readers will explore their own path to finding their own light within healthy friendships.
“Only when you stand before the darkness will you shine!”
Behind the glamorous stage, the growth story of a K-pop idol!
A pretty and handsome face, flawless performance, and even a charming personality.
The idol's appearance on stage is perfection itself.
But what kind of time did these idols spend before they stood on that stage? The "Luminous Debuts Today" series vividly captures the growth stories of K-pop idols hidden behind the dazzling stages.
As they desperately pursue their dream of becoming an 'idol' and work tirelessly, events unfold that mix friendship, jealousy, love, competition, and secrets.
Even if they are not necessarily 'idols', Luminous's story will give vivid emotions to readers who dream of standing out in the world.
Author Kim Young-joo, winner of several literary awards, realistically portrayed the story of idols from before their debut to after their debut with solid storytelling.
Additionally, artist Hati's drawings beautifully express the intense sweat of girls who dream of becoming the best idols.
Readers will be able to immerse themselves in the latest trends and atmosphere of K-pop idol culture.
Let's enjoy a stage that sparkles with dreams and passion while reading "Luminous Debuts Today"!
