Writer Kim Lily

Korean Authors   Writer Kim Lily   2021.12.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello. My name is Kim Lily, a children’s author as well as a rice cake shop owner who wrote My d’Artagnan (Changbi), Puff Snacks are Here (Munhakdongne), and Manbok’s Rice Cake Shop Series (BIR).   Did the memories from your childhood influence your works?   When I was young, I was a skinny, not pretty to look at, and not a bright girl. I think that is why I went through some difficult times. But whenever those times hit me, I survived by imagining things. At the time I remember desperately wishing for my wishes to come true. I do write many stories about wishes by reminiscing on those days.   Why did you dream of becoming a children’s book author?   I had this idea that a children’s book author is someone who ‘grows the flower garden of the imagination’. Since I had many siblings, I was sent to the countryside alone and spen...

ACHIMDAL BOOKS

Korean Publishers   ACHIMDAL BOOKS Never Changing Literary Value Rises Radiantly and Brightly   2021.11.01   Literature is a genre with deep roots in the publishing market, but there is an increasing number of cases where the genre is excluded from the mainstream. On top of this, there aren’t too many literature publishers that completely fulfill their roles properly. In a reality like this, we cannot help but approve of ACHIMDAL BOOKS for fulfilling its role as a publisher of literature and continuing to make efforts, including the expansion of opportunities for poems, essays, and other works of literature to be published. Although it is a small publisher, there seems to be a light that shines with the rapid advancement of ACHIMDAL BOOKS, which works to broaden the literature base by searching for new ways of publishing literature in a clever way.   Logo of ACHIMDAL BOOKS   Please tell foreign publishers what ACHIMDAL BOOKS does and what mean...

Writer Heo Kyo bum

Korean Authors   Writer Heo Kyo bum   2021.11.01     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, I debuted with Twenty Questions Detective and Magician (BIR Publishing Co., Ltd.) series. This is Heo Kyo bum, I have been working as a writer for 8 years now.   What motivated you to become a writer?   When I recall my childhood, I have more sad memories than happy memories. So if you ask why I became a writer, it's because I like stories. If you ask why I like stories, it’s because when I was young, I immersed myself in the world of stories and I was able to forget the hardships of reality. That became an opportunity for stories to play an important role in my life. Then, by chance, I thought I might be able to make a career from this. From the moment I decided to do that, I realized that no other dream could have replaced it. No matter how good the job, a great job for other people, or even if it was a job that could make me a lo...

Korean Authors   Author-illustrator Kim Dong Su   2021.10.05     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   In my case, it’s about “coexistence”. I think it’s a story about coexistence. Hi, I am Kim Dong Su, an illustrated book writer.   How was your childhood?   I was just an ordinary kid. I like to draw so I attended an art academy on and off. My dream was also to become a painter.   What motivated you to become a full-time writer?   I majored in Western painting at college. There was a magazine called Monthly Illustration. Seeing that, I thought I also wanted to do something like that too. In that magazine there was a contest that often appeared. I entered the contest called the Korea Publishing Art Competition and I won the grand prize. That made me wonder whether I could do this as a full-time job. There was the Borim Creative Picture Book Contest in which I received an excellence award. They publish the book when y...

This event remained buried in silence for many years. The author conveys this historical weight not through numbers and statistics, but through the intertwined stories of three women. Thus, the events are not merely information, but are etched into my mind through an emotional connection.   The Korean and English editions of We Do N...

Built by King Taejo, founder of the Joseon Dynasty, it was the dynasty’s first royal palace and the political center of the nation. Its name, meaning “to embrace great blessings,” embodies the king’s wish for the country’s prosperity and his people’s well-being. Although it was destroyed during the Imjin War in the 16th century and later reconstructed in the late 19th century, the palace holds the scars and memories of Korea’s turbulent history.After hanbok was chosen as the most impressive Korean fashion item in the previous issue, this m...
