The self that changes when dressed in the opposite gender's clothes. When a man cross-dresses as a woman, the hidden softness emerges, and when a woman cross-dresses as a man, the hidden boldness comes out. The strange thrill of being drawn to the unfamiliar self in the mirror.
Psychological/sexual exploration of cross-dressing. Fluidity of gender identity. The thrill of disguise and revealing one's identity. Inclusive depiction.
Itaewon's underground cross-dressing party. Every last Saturday of the month, wearing clothes of the opposite gender is the entry condition. Inside the party, all boundaries break down, and it's a night to meet one's true self.
In front of the mirror, they put on opposite gender's clothes one by one. When a man rolls up stockings and wears a dress, even he is surprised by the unfamiliar beauty in the mirror. Hands helping with makeup shape the face, and ears turn red at the words "You're pretty."
Under dazzling lights, people transformed into the opposite gender dance. Drawn to a beautiful person indistinguishable as man or woman, when they approach, dance, lean in for an embrace, the unexpected texture of the body provides another stimulation.
In the alley after the party, removing a wig or loosening a tie reveals the true identity. "I knew." "It doesn't matter." A confession of being drawn not to the gender but to the person themselves, a night showing true selves while undressing piece by piece.
