Summary
ONE
By Eunjae Lee
Originally serialized on Daum Webtoon (2019–2020)
"To be like your brother." That’s all his father ever asks of high school student Kim Euigyeom. Trapped in an oppressive household and smothered by constant surveillance—text message check-ins, nightly study sessions—Euigyeom does everything he can to meet expectations. He studies hard. He keeps his head down.
But school isn’t a safe space either. Bullies begin targeting him, and when Euigyeom finally strikes back, he discovers something unexpected: relief. Satisfaction. Power.
What begins as a way to defend himself becomes something more. One fight leads to another, each opponent tougher than the last. At first, he tells himself it’s all to get back to studying. But the rush—the clarity—he feels after each fight is hard to ignore.
Then comes Yoonki, a classmate with a tempting proposal:
"Let’s become vigilantes. Let’s punish the bad guys."
At first, it feels righteous. The ones they fight are violent, cruel, deserving. But soon Euigyeom finds himself asking: Why am I really fighting?
Haunted by his brother’s shadow and suffocated by his father's control, Euigyeom begins to lose track of what’s right—and why he can’t stop.
ONE is a raw and gripping coming-of-age story that explores the fine line between justice and violence, control and collapse.
