If you are a woman, everyone should have thought about this once: Why do we wear bras? The artist starts this theme with a bad feeling that a woman must wear these things from her teen-ages. The writer who happened to see a documentary about a bra tells a true story that there are women who suffer from a bra that makes them unable to live everyday, people are hostile of this when not wearing underwear and she was surprised by herself who never felt the need not to wear a bra while feeling uncomfortable .

She once said that she went out without bras but she was more uncomfortable than she thought and it didn‘t fit so she went out on a limited basis only when she was close or comfortable without bras. Although you are not a feminist, it must be quite uncomfortable as a human being before a woman that something itself blocks your free will. When the artist, Choi Ho-jin talked to her friends about not wearing a bra, her friends responded with an incomprehensible feedback to why she didn't wear a bra. The reactions of these friends are included in this work.

The choice has already been decided regardless of one's will. When growing up from a child to a girl, every woman is naturally asked to wear a bra by mothers and they start to wearing it without knowing exactly why not. The first wearing experience of the heroine is not much different. She started wearing a bra because of the shape of the breast or because others think strange about not wearing, and she kept wearing a bra continually without thinking about it. A bra is inseparable from a woman's body until she dies. Some women would accept it with pleasure as a beginning thinking that I am woman now, others think that it is a just useless and uncomfortable tool.

The femininity and feminine images that are traditionally thought to be typical of a woman in society must be determined by the individual not by the force of the stereotype. Just like the day when you wear make-up for the first time in your life. There are many women who don’t wear make-up in the world not the reason men like a bare face but the reason they don’t like the
make-up itself. On the other hand, there are many women who like feminine things and enjoy wearing make-up because they get confident from make-up. Like this, I think that women themselves must have the choice with wearing a bra.

If you google it, you can see the different search results by country. In the North America, though No-bra is not very active except in some urban areas, you can see the healthy and confident women’s images and a lot of materials like No-Bra day, a bra throwing campaign. On the other hand, in Korea, you'll find lots of voyeur, female celebrities pictures without a bra, and tips such as quick bra removal. It is a natural phenomenon that people seek to sexuality in No-Bra. But there is a huge difference between an atmosphere of personal freedom whether you wear a bra or not and an atmosphere that you absolutely must wear a bra.
Force , not recommendation, creates a closed image of the no-bra itself, which is not unusual, and seems to play a role of hiding in the shade as a whole culture.

There’s no evidence whether a bra actually affects the shape of the breast. There’s a documentary program that contains a very short experiment results, but the experiment period itself is short and meaningless, and I could see that the breast shape and the bra had nothing to do with it. In fact you should pay more attention to being sagged by gravity than the bra itself, and the breast usually loses its elasticity as the Cooper ligaments in the female chest are broken. These ligaments are easily broken while the chest shakes during intense exercise (including sex). As you can see when you run with wearing a normal bra and a sports bra, the normal bra does not hold breast firmly at all. It is also said that the wires of the bra can cause cancer, but the biggest problem with the bra is the underarm pressure. It is natural that the lymph gland which has to be smoothly circulated is blocked when the spot where the lymph gland that discharges human waste is located is pressed for a long time. It is no wonder that this leads to poor health, and even if it causes illness, it is not at all strange.

Like the shape of the body which is determined by genes, the shape of the breasts varies from women to women. However, the various shapes become totally same when the bra is worn. The heroine who realizes that the swelling and round shape of the breast is made uniformly thinks this is a conspiracy and something is wrong. The protagonist's consideration of this breast and bra gives us a chance to rethink what we had taken for granted, and it makes me think whether I will live my way or other‘s.
