[INTERVIEW / KOREAN AUTHORS]

Korean Authors Author-illustrator Lee Myoung Ae 2021.09.06 Please introduce yourself to our readers. I draw and write illustrated books. I’ve been making books for about 15 years now. I’m Lee Myoung Ae, an illustrated book author. When did you first dream of becoming a children’s book writer? I didn’t stand out academically. I was an ordinary child with nothing that particularly stood out about me. The first time I was praised for drawing I was in middle school. My art teacher recommended that I major in art. I thought about it a lot at that time What am I good at? What made me happiest? I decided that was painting. Do you have any particular habits? Whilst making illustrated books is my job, one of my habits is keeping a picture diary. Actually, people rarely do this after doing it in elementary school, but I think a picture diary where you can write and paint together is the most important habit one ca...

Writer Kim Soo-hyun

Korean Authors Writer Kim Soo-hyun 2021.09.06 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, I am Kim Soo-hyun the author of I Decided to Live as Me (Woods of Mind’s Books) and Comfortably Without Trying Too Hard (Dasan Books). Why did you choose the profession of writer? In my case, I had a strong feeling that I had to ‘live like other people’ for some unknown reason. I tried very hard to adhere to this belief but it didn’t really work out, so I started thinking ‘if this is how its going to be’ it would be better to spend my energy on things I really want to do and put my effort into such things.’ So I quit my job and started writing about what I really wanted to talk about with some seriousness - and this became the book you know as I Decided to Live as Me. What kind of person do you think writers are? Writers are ‘Process is mentee’, ‘Result is mentor’ is what I think. Many people might feel ...

Korean Authors Author-illustrator Yi Gee Eun 2021.08.02 Please introduce yourself to our readers. I’m really grateful to be able to work so happily like this.

Iparapa Yamooyamoo, The Story How the Korean Shaved Ice Dessert was Born Why did you want to be a writer? When I was young, I wasn’t very good at drawing. One day my father and mother told me that actually I was good at drawing so I should become a painter. I thought I should be a painter and then that became my dream. Because I always lived with a lot of hunger for painting, working on writing and painting was a natural choice for me. Your dog Kung-i is so cute, can you intro...

Picture book artist Lee Suzy

Korean Authors Picture book artist Lee Suzy 2021.08.02 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, I’m Lee Suzy. I’m a picture book artist. Nice to meet you. What kind of person do you think a picture book Artist is? I think that a picture book writer is a person who builds and plays with the power of pictures and creates a story in a book. I was interested in the medium of books. Rather than just pieces of paper that contain a story. I’m also interested in books with power. In my case, I am interested in pictures with such power. In that sense, for me, “pictures” and “books” are equally important in picture books. River (BIR) How did you become a picture book artist? I majored in painting at art college. I drew on large canvases and after graduating, I wanted to keep painting. I was thinking about how to make a living doing this an...

Author-illustrator Myung Soojung

Author-illustrator Myung Soojung 2021.07.05 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, this is Myung Soojung, the illustrated book author. I published I Like Music for My Eyes (Gloyeon), The Skirt That Spreads to the End of the World (Gloyeon), and Big and Bigger (Gloyeon). How was your childhood? I grew up in the countryside. If I hadn’t experienced the city when I got older. Probably I couldn't have made these books. All day in the yard, I think I was very happy just looking at the clouds. Seeing the stars at night. Grandma's and grandfather's love there are memorable. What kind of person do you think writers are? Writers spend time in their own space. They spend time alone and isolated. I think it is like a spring deep in the mountains. To the reader, a writer can be spring water. And sometimes, if the spring water is clear like a mirror, it can reflect a person. In that respect, I think an author is a sp...

I ...
