POPULARITY HAS A PRICE. FOR DARA, IT IS THAT OF THE LIE.

This year, Dara decided to have a good year. And for that, he developed a plan: K-pop, dance, Korean cuisine... everyone must know that he is passionate about K-culture. Forgotten, its Cambodian origins. And very quickly, it works, others are interested in him! Except he is overwhelmed by the rumor when a video of him dancing K-pop and filmed without his knowledge goes viral. He is now the most popular boy in high school. But for how long?

A novel that evokes with great accuracy and subtlety the question of identity, the way one accepts one’s origins, but also ordinary racism and harassment.

A story in the first person that makes us discover Dara, a sensitive teenager who like many young people of his age fears above all rejection and whose right tone will seduce teens.

Questioning the fascination for Korean teen culture, both openness to others, but sometimes also appropriation, and invisibility of other Asian cultures, such as Cambodian culture which is the legacy of the main character.
