Holy Boy: The Shocking K-Pop Kidnap Sensation By Lee Heejoo (Author), Joheun Lee (Translator)

"YOSEP WAS THE ONLY THING IN THE WORLD, AND YOSEP'S PAIN WAS THE WORLD'S PAIN . . ."

Yosep is the ultimate idol, an impossibly beautiful K-pop star who inspires near-religious mania among millions of devoted fans. To the world, he is sacred, angelic, and untouchable—a true Holy Boy. For followers like adoring fans Mihee and Nami, Heeae (who harbors a mysterious connection to Yosep’s past), and Ahnna (the darkly fanatical ringleader of their group), obsession turns into a desperate calling. Each wishes to possess him, save him, and rescue him from the crushing shackles of fame.

When their fixation spirals out of control into dangerous delusion, dark secrets come to light and shocking lines are crossed. Driven by a compulsive need to claim what they desire above all else, how far will they go? Deceit? Kidnap? Murder? Translated by Joheun Lee, Holy Boy is a sensational, darkly subversive, and electric-shock of a Korean literary thriller exploring the terrifying power of fandom and obsession.
