[Prologue]


This is my personal story.


When I first came to Germany, I got attention from a lot of people. I used to think, 'Everyone passing by is looking at me.' I thought the reason they look at me is 'because I'm different from them'. I was a foreigner from a "different" country to them, I was a person who wore a little "different" from them (short skirts, bright clothes), and I was a person with "different" shiny makeup from them. You cannot conclude that there was negative energy in the above reasons or the gaze. But I felt pressure whenever I got their attention. And "they" are not "all" here. It was just "many". But I have no choice but to say "they" which means the whole. Why do "people" look at me even if I get one or two glances at me? Because I thought. I get the feeling that I'm in the public eye. Even if 'one man' looked at me, I thought. Not "Why does he see me?" but "I'm so different?"
  
This is my personal story. Is it really 'only for me'? 'personal'? 'private'? 'my own'?


[Synopsis]

Let me introduce my doll, my alter ego 'Yu-p'. 'Yu-p' is pink and shiny. 'Yu-p' is of course full of pretty things, but it looks a little different, right? Rather than the dolls we usually think of... OK. That is the charm of 'Yu-p'. 'Yu-p' is pretty, colorful, and a little weird so I can't just overlook it. People always stop and look at 'Yu-p'.
But my 'Yu-p' has the ability. When people see 'Yu-p', it is the ability to return the emotions 'Yu-p' felt.

Yu-p said. When someone sees 'Yu-p' he feels it. He feels it not from one person, but from several people. So he put a kaleidoscope in front of his eyes. When someone sees 'Yu-p', you can duplicate that person's eyes and face.
