In 2025, South Korea's single-person households exceed 10 million, yet they're stigmatized as selfish or unmarriageable. Seoul National University professor Soo Yeong Kim reveals they're not tradition-rejectors or failures but inevitable products of late-capitalist Korea. The book probes shadows of solitary life--beyond finances--and urges rethinking society to prevent independence turning into isolation.
