New Doll [WITHDOLL] SWD77 Limited Edition Wooray

Project Homyeong (呼名)
To Call the Forgotten

Homyeong (呼名)
is not simply the act of calling a name,
but of recognizing a being
and allowing it into one’s own world.

Project 〈Homyeong (呼名): To Call the Forgotten〉
is a doll series grounded in a world inspired by a contemporary reinterpretation of Korean mythology.
It is an attempt to call forth beings
that have gradually faded from modern memory
and bring them into the very center of our lives as we live in the present.

Wooray

The first character of
Project 〈Homyeong (呼名): To Call the Forgotten〉

During the Japanese colonial period,
when the Wildlife Extermination Campaign was being carried out,
a leopard is chased by hunters and meets its death.
From her womb, the mountain spirit rescues the unborn cub
and brings it back to life.

Blessed with divine power,
the leopard—Wooray—
becomes a being that belongs fully to neither life nor death,
and grows at an unusually slow pace.

After the Korean War,
Wooray wanders near the U.S. military camp in Yongsan
in the form of a leopard,
where he encounters a Black soldier named Leroy.
Mistaking the cub for a native wild cat of Korea,
Leroy finds Wooray endearing
and shares leftover food from the base, offering him companionship.
He is the first human
to show Wooray genuine kindness.

Even after time passes and Leroy returns to his homeland,
Wooray continues to linger around the Yongsan camp.
Before he knows it, Itaewon becomes his playground.
When Wooray later learns to take human form,
it is only natural that he is drawn to Black culture
while learning about the human world.

Then one day,
after fully indulging in the nights of Itaewon,
Wooray is appointed as the mountain spirit of Seoul’s landfill mountain.
Once a landfill reclaimed and reshaped into a mountain,
it bears the outward form of a mountain,
yet its spiritual energy has long since scattered.

Can Wooray truly restore life and vitality to this land?

“I never wanted to become a god!”
The clumsy coming-of-age story
of a powerless, immature young god.
