"Nobody Answers" is the story of a young man who, with only a blind dog, an MP3 player, and a book, sets out on a road trip. For three years, he wanders South Korea, moving from place to place and meeting a wide variety of people along the way. Instead of learning their names or creating nicknames, he assigns numbers to his fellow travelers. Among them are Number 239, a woman who once dreamed of becoming a poet but now reads her poems only to a friend in a coma; Number 109, who endlessly rides trains, trying to mend a broken heart; Number 32, who has already decided to end his life.

The protagonist writes to these men and women in the hope of finding the right words for them and at the same time preserving the memory of his own experience. And although he receives no replies in the present, the hope lives in his heart that one day one of them will respond.
