A Juna y su mejor amigo, Héctor, les encanta ir de aventuras al parque, donde recolectan cosas para ponerlas en frascos vacíos de kimchi. Un día, Héctor se muda inesperadamente y Juna se pregunta quién jugará con ella. Con la ayuda de su frasco especial, Juna busca a su amigo por todo el mundo. Pero Juna descubre que aventuras y nuevos amigos se pueden encontrar en los lugares más inesperados.

Juna and her best friend, Hector, love to go on adventures in the park, collecting things to put in Juna’s empty kimchi jars. But then one day Hector unexpectedly moves away, and Juna is left wondering who will play with her. With the help of her special jar, Juna searches for her friend the world over. What Juna finds is that adventure—and new friends—can be found in the most unexpected places.
