Author-illustrator Kim Dong Su

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...

Writer Song Mikyoung

Korean Authors   Writer Song Mikyoung   2021.10.05     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, I’m Song Mikyoung, a children’s book writer. 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. I felt like a child who was slow at studying, and since I was a kid, I really liked drawing. I was a child who drew all the time. I also loved books. That’s why I wanted to write. 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...
