Ma Beomtae once dreamed of becoming a hero — until a false accusation forced him to abandon that dream. Now he's been given a second chance: debut through a survival competition show and earn his place as a licensed hero. But being a hero in modern Korea is nothing like he imagined. Seven-day work weeks, mandatory charity, controversy that finds him even when he does nothing wrong, and colleagues who seem to be losing their minds. Can Beomtae hold on to his dream through all of it? Selected as a Reader's Pick in April 2024!
