Unlike existing technical waxing \ucc45, this \ucd9c\ud310\ubb3c offers a different \uad00\uc810, chronicling the growth, \uace0\ubbfc, and realistic survival \uc774\uc57c\uae30 of an \uac1c\uc778 living as a male waxer in Hongdae. It is characterized by \uc6d0\uc7a5 Kims candid recounting of his \uacbd\ud5d8 and \uac10\uc815.<\/p>\n<h2>Unique \uad00\uc810 and Title \uc601\uac10 of Waxinghaggaeron<\/h2>\n<p>The newly published Waxinghaggaeron distinguishes itself from existing technical waxing \ucc45, presenting an \uc5d0\uc138\uc774 that captures the growth, \uace0\ubbfc, and realistic survival \uc774\uc57c\uae30 of a male waxer in Hongdae.<\/p>\n<p>Its distinctive \ud2b9\uc9d5 is that it goes beyond merely explaining waxing \uae30\uc220, instead delving into the \uacbd\ud5d8 and \uac10\uc815 encountered while living as a male waxer within the unique \ud658\uacbd of Hongdae.<\/p>\n<p>\uc6d0\uc7a5 Kim Beom-su revealed that the \ucc45s \uc81c\ubaa9 was inspired by the \uc601\ud654 Architecture 101 Geonchukhakgaeron. He explained that just as Architecture 101 encapsulated someones \uccad\ucd98 and \ucd94\uc5b5, he wanted this \ucc45 to tell the \uc774\uc57c\uae30 of a \uc0ac\ub78c living as a male waxer in Hongdae, thus leading to the \uc81c\ubaa9 Waxinghaggaeron.<\/p>\n<h2>A \uccad\ub144s \ud604\uc2e4 and Narrative of Overcoming \ud3b8\uacac<\/h2>\n<p>The \ucc45 candidly details the overwhelming \ubd88\ud655\uc2e4\uc131 and \ubd88\uc548\uac10 felt when first opening a waxing \uc0f5 in Hongdae, as well as \uc21c\uac04 of impatience due to a lack of \uc190\ub2d8.<\/p>\n<p>It also sincerely unfolds the \uacfc\uc815 of gradually building \uc2e0\ub8b0 with \uace0\uac1d and forging his own \uae38.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, the \ud3b8\uacac faced simply for being a male waxer and the \uc5ec\uc815 of overcoming it is said to resonate as a realistic \uc11c\uc0ac of \uccad\ub144.<\/p>\n<h2>Waxing as Understanding \uc0ac\ub78c<\/h2>\n<p>\uc6d0\uc7a5 Kim Beom-su views waxing not merely as a \uc2dc\uc220, but as the \ud589\uc704 of understanding \uc0ac\ub78c.<\/p>\n<p>He candidly expresses the \uac10\uc815 and \uc0dd\uac01 he experienced within his \uad00\uacc4 with \uace0\uac1d, delivering a profound \uba54\uc2dc\uc9c0 not only to industry \uc804\ubb38\uac00 but also to young \uc0ac\ub78c in their twenties contemplating their own \uae38.<\/p>\n<h2>\uacf5\uac10 and \uc704\ub85c for \ub3c5\uc790<\/h2>\n<p>Waxinghaggaeron holds \uc758\ubbf8 as a \uae30\ub85d chronicling the growth \uc5ec\uc815 of a young \uac1c\uc778 making his way through his \uc77c, set against the symbolic \ubc30\uacbd of Hongdae.<\/p>\n<p>Through its \uc774\uc57c\uae30 of forging ones \uc790\ub9ac in a seemingly glamorous yet fiercely competitive \ud604\uc2e4, the \ucc45 is expected to offer \ub3c5\uc790 genuine \uacf5\uac10 and \uc704\ub85c.<\/p>\n<p>\uc6d0\uc7a5 Kim Beom-su has accumulated diverse field \uacbd\ud5d8 operating Jexy Waxing near Hongdaes Sangsu Station, and through this \ucc45, he has shared his \uc774\uc57c\uae30 with the \ub300\uc911 for the first time. He expressed his \ud76c\ub9dd that this \ucc45 would serve as a \uc6d0\ucc9c of \uc6a9\uae30 for some and \uacf5\uac10 for others.<\/p>\n<p>\uc6d0\uc7a5 Kim Beom-sus Waxinghaggaeron is expected to deeply resonate with \ub3c5\uc790 through his candid \uacbd\ud5d8 as a male \uc641\uc11c in Hongdae. Beyond just a \uc774\uc57c\uae30 about a \uc9c1\uc5c5, this \ucc45 is anticipated to be a coming-of-age \uc5d0\uc138\uc774 that offers \uc6a9\uae30 and \uc704\ub85c to young \uc0ac\ub78c navigating uncertain \uc2dc\ub300.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kr-terms-box\" style=\"margin:0 0 20px 0;padding:14px 16px;border:1px solid #e5e7eb;background:#f8fafc;border-radius:12px;line-height:1.8\">\n<div style=\"font-weight:700;margin-bottom:8px\">\uc774 \uae30\uc0ac\uc5d0 \uc0ac\uc6a9\ub41c \ud55c\uad6d\uc5b4 \uc6a9\uc5b4<\/div>\n<div>\uc6d0\uc7a5\ub2d8(Director), \uc6d0\uc7a5(Director), \uc5d0\uc138\uc774(Essay), \uc641\uc11c(Waxer), \uc774\uc57c\uae30(Story), \uccad\ub144(Youth), \uc0f5(Salon), \uc11c\uc6b8(Seoul), \ucc45(Book), \ucd9c\ud310\ubb3c(Publication), \uad00\uc810(Perspective), \uace0\ubbfc(Concerns), \uac1c\uc778(Individual), \uacbd\ud5d8(Experiences), \uac10\uc815(Emotions), \ub3c5\uc790(Reader), \uc9c1\uc5c5(Profession), \uc6a9\uae30(Courage), \uc704\ub85c(Comfort), \uc0ac\ub78c(Person), \uc2dc\ub300(Time), \uc601\uac10(Inspiration), \ud2b9\uc9d5(Feature), \uae30\uc220(Techniques), \ud658\uacbd(Environment), \uc81c\ubaa9(Title), \uc601\ud654(Movie), \uccad\ucd98(Youth), \ucd94\uc5b5(Memories), \ud604\uc2e4(Reality), \ud3b8\uacac(Prejudice), \ubd88\ud655\uc2e4\uc131(Uncertainty), \ubd88\uc548\uac10(Anxiety), \uc21c\uac04(Moments), \uc190\ub2d8(Customer), \uacfc\uc815(Process), \uc2e0\ub8b0(Trust), \uace0\uac1d(Client), \uae38(Path), \uc5ec\uc815(Journey), \uc11c\uc0ac(Narrative), \uc2dc\uc220(Procedure), \ud589\uc704(Act), \uc0dd\uac01(Thoughts), \uad00\uacc4(Relationship), \uba54\uc2dc\uc9c0(Message), \uc804\ubb38\uac00(Professional), \uacf5\uac10(Empathy), \uc758\ubbf8(Significance), \uae30\ub85d(Record), \uc77c(Work), \ubc30\uacbd(Backdrop), \uc790\ub9ac(Place), \ub300\uc911(Public), \ud76c\ub9dd(Hope), \uc6d0\ucc9c(Source)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"variant-nav\" style=\"margin:28px 0 0 0;text-align:right;line-height:1.2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/en\/cul260331006-en\" style=\"padding:8px 14px;border:1px solid #7c3aed;border-radius:10px;background:#ffffff;color:#6d28d9;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;line-height:1.2;text-decoration:none\">English version<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jexy Waxing \uc6d0\uc7a5\ub2d8 Kim Beom-su Publishes Waxinghaggaeron, an \uc5d0\uc138\uc774 on the Growth of a Male \uc641\uc11c in Hongdae Kim Beom-su,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":254,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[60,137,257,256,255],"class_list":["post-255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-culture","tag-essay","tag-jexy-waxing","tag-kim-beom-su","tag-waxinghaggaeron"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/en-ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/en-ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/en-ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/en-ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/en-ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/en-ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/en-ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/en-ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/en-ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/en-ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
