The Mask of True Faces

In the valley of Chogapsan where children once entered the world laughing a strange mist descends from the northern cliffs. It smells of memory burned to ash.One by one the children forget who they are. A boy bleats like a goat. A girl perches on rooftops believing she is a sparrow. Twins growl and bite having abandoned language altogether. The demon Chameon-the Face-Thief-walks through the fog wearing a thousand stolen faces turning mirrors into instruments of confusion.When even the world itself begins to forget its shape the village shaman Mother Goh knows what must be done. She gives a quiet boy named Miran a cracked festival mask and sends him into the Valley of No Faces with a single instruction:Dance until the demon remembers it has none.What follows is a journey into the heart of forgetting-and a confrontation with the question that haunts every human soul: Who am I when I can no longer remember my own face?A forgotten Korean folk legend that speaks urgently to our age of confusion identity crisis and lost moorings. This is a story about masks and mirrors beasts and humans the terror of forgetting and the sacred dance of remembering.Truth hides best in laughter.
