What Is The Anime Lookism All About? Plot, Cast And More!
The popular manhwa series by Park Tae-joon with the same name, Lookism, will soon be made into an anime in South Korea. The story is mostly about “lookism,” which is when people treat people unfairly because they don’t think they’re attractive.

He takes out his anger on his mother, so she moves him to a new school in the centre of Seoul. But one day, he wakes up in a different body, which turns his life upside down. His new classmates think he is “the cream of the crop” because he is tall, handsome, and athletic. But there is a problem: he can only switch bodies when the other one goes to sleep.

Reasons Behind Netflix Putting Off Lookism’s Release
But the streaming giant decided to put off the worldwide release of Lookism after the terrible Halloween crush tragedy in Itaewon. At the time, South Korea was in a state of national mourning.
On October 29, a crowd of people gathered in the narrow streets of Seoul, which led to the crush that killed 156 people and injured more than 170 others.
The Washington Post reported that President Yoon Suk-yeol said at a press conference, “I’m devastated.” On Halloween, something terrible happened in the middle of Seoul that should not have happened.
