Description 작품 소개

In the summer of 1950, Hong-ju lost everything due to North Korea’s bombings. Even with her will to live taken away, she volunteers for the South Korean army and becomes a “Rabbit,” a girl spy in the KLO (Korea Liaison Office) unit, where nine out of ten girls who
embark on the mission are rumored to never return alive. Hong-ju survives missions with unwavering determination, leaving an impression as a ruthless operative. However, when she returns, suspicion of being a traitor awaits her. To prove her loyalty, she heads to the battlefield, where she meets and befriends another Rabbit Yoo-gyeong. As she spends time with Yoo-gyeong, who joined the army of her own free will, Hong-ju begins to think about her life after the war for the first time. Then, they receive intelligence that an allied bombing raid is planned for the area where they are located…….


Rabbit sheds light on the lives of Rabbits, little-known girl spies during the tragic Korean War era. These young girls were chosen for espionage missions because they were seen as innocent and unlikely to arouse suspicion. Even after the war, there is no trace of their names in records as they operated undercover. However, the writer’s portrayal of these girls’ lives is not solely filled with tragedy. Amid the bleak realities of war, babies were born and lovers promised a brighter future. Like that, in a place where death and loss prevailed, the girls shared American chocolates, yearned for their hometowns together, and embraced one another with warmth, all in a commitment to survive and live.
