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 Writer Lee Seula 2021.10.05 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, I’m Lee Seula, the writer. I publish Dailee-sulla, I also run the Hey Uhm publishing house. I was born in 1992. I write diligently. How was your childhood? When I was a child, I was so shy that my talking wasn’t great. I think one whose speech isn’t good can write well. People who are good at talking can communicate so well that they won’t have any regrets because they say everything they want to. But those who are not good at talking go home with regrets. Those with regrets have a high probability of writing a diary. In that respect, I think I was a child who wrote a diary full of regrets. In my youth, I also wrote a lot of diaries back then. I heard that there was one particular teacher who helped you become a writer. I attended an alternative school. There were a lot of activities there that made me write. That...

I also work on illustrated books. and I have written play and a youth novel. What was your childhood like? I have dyslexia. But when I was young I didn’t know I had dyslexia.

In fact, I never thought about becoming a writer. I think the people around me didn’t think about it either. What books did you read often when you were young? Instead of books with only text, I think I preferred ones with images. I grew up in my grandma’s house and there was a study room. If you look at art brochures, you can see the title of the year under the picture. It was really fun to look at those. And my se...

Korean Authors Writer Hwang Sunmi 2021.09.06 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hi. This is Hwang Sunmi. I write children and youth books. From when did you want to be a children’s book writer? When I was in the 6th grade of elementary school, I first read a storybook. I found out I couldn’t go to middle school at that time. The only way for me to accept that fact was to try to escape by reading books. So from reading books I then wanted to write interesting stories. I wanted to write for my whole life. I wanted to be that kind of person. That was how I was vaguely thinking at the time. Where do you get inspiration for writing? What gives me energy to write is life. And it is the events in the lives of people and their stories - good or bad. What inspires me What inspires me are the incidents happening among people. Did you have a memorable childhood? Everything is so vivid. From my ho...
