_I don't encourage murder. I have no interest in one person killing another. I

only want to draw out morbid desires, imprisoned deep in the unconscious. This

lust, once freed, starts growing. Their imaginations run free, and they soon

discover their potential... They are waiting for someone like me._

A spectral, nameless narrator haunts the lost and wounded of big-city Seoul,

suggesting solace in suicide. Wandering through the bright lights of their

high-urban existence, C and K are brothers who fall in love with the same

woman - Se-yeon. As their lives intersect, they tear at each other in a

struggle to find connection in their fast-paced, atomized world.

Dreamlike and cinematic, _I Have the Right to Destroy Myself_ brilliantly

affirms Young-ha Kim as Korea's leading young literary master.
