A Binge Artist is a collection of short stories that consists of Scherzo for a Madman, Jellyfish Medusa, The Hole, and A Binge Artist. 

The titular piece illustrates the sad ending of an ordinary man who happens to gain fame by binge eating. He is pressured to eat more because the more he eats, the more enthusiastic the public becomes. However, when the Binge Artist finally fails, the public turns their back on him, and his value erodes day after day. In the end, it is the very public who drives the man to a miserable death. His last moment is not remembered by anybody, and even after death, he remains a mere commercial item used to entertain the public.

The Hole is a story of events that occur when a huge hole appears in a poor district in Dogong-dong. The motifs come from the Tower Palace, a luxurious residential complex, and the shantytown, both located in Dogok-dong, Gangnam.
