The Man Who Was Left as Nine Pairs of Shoes

---

After burning his nine pair of shoes, Mr. Kwon now shows his resolve to take his challenge directly to the site of the struggle where reality is determined. When he accepts without protest a company job offered to him as compensation for an injury he suffered in a car accident by the guilty party who happens to be the CEO, even after the company's sinister agenda is exposed, he reveals the cold instincts of a realist who obeys life's urgent needs without regard for good or evil.
- Hwang Jong-yeon (literary critic)

Thus, The Man Who Was Left as Nine Pairs of Shoes series in an effort to illustrate, by way of Mr. Kwon's fate, the evolution of a petty bourgeois into a proletarian. It raises questions through its protagonist, an archetype who embodies South Korean society when industrialization was giving birth to a proletariat, a new actor in society.
