About This Book

A gripping and incisive psychological gameshow drama from one of the biggest stars in Korean fiction, author of million-copy bestseller The Dallergut Dream Department Store.



Eight unsuspecting people receive an invitation to participate in a new reality show called Break Room. But what starts as an opportunity for fame is quickly revealed to be something far more unsettling when they learn how they were chosen--voted in by their respective coworkers as "the office villain."



Among them is an imposter--a mole planted by the show's producers. The only way to win the prize money is to uncover the saboteur before time runs out.



As alliances shift and paranoia festers, the contestants begin to realize that the true challenge isn't surviving the show--it's facing their own selves.



Welcome . . . Step into the world of the reality show, Break Room, where every smile hides suspicion, and every word could be a clue.
