concept

What is the difference between beauty and ugliness? What do they really represent? Eun wanted to bring awareness that beauty can become ugliness as easily as ugliness can become beauty. The world is full of people who disguise their crude and ugly mind external good looks. But what about people who look ugly and disgusting? Should they just be considered bad because of their appearance? What if they have a beautiful mind? Eun went on a quest to find true beauty within people with ugly and weird looks, exploring specific parts of the human body, like ears and fingernails, that can look disgusting when separated from the body.
