Lookism

"Lookism" is one of the best webtoons for beginners that serves as a powerful critique of the modern society we find ourselves in today. It delves deep into our obsession with appearance and the detrimental impact it can have on individuals. The very essence of the word "lookism" signifies the act of judging and evaluating someone solely based on their outward appearance, neglecting their true character and inner qualities.

The compelling story revolves around a Korean boy who has suffered from relentless bullying throughout his life, constantly taunted and marginalized for being deemed unattractive and uncool. However, in an intriguing twist of fate, he wakes up one day finding himself in the body of a strikingly attractive man. Suddenly blessed with the physical attributes society values so highly, he grasps the opportunity to pursue his deepest desires.

Yet, as "Lookism" unfolds, we are left questioning the cost at which these newfound advantages come. Is conforming to societal standards of beauty worth sacrificing one's authenticity and self-worth? The webtoon serves as a mirror, reflecting upon the profound implications and consequences of our appearance-centric society, urging us to reassess our values and challenge the unjust way we measure one's worth.
