Writer Park Yeon-jun

Korean Authors   Writer Park Yeon-jun   2021.12.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, my name is Park Yeon-jun. I write poems and prose, and now I am writing novels, too.   Why did you decide to become a writer?   I think I have always loved stories since I was young. That is why I was interested in writing, reading, and listening to others. Among those, I found that reading interested me the most and I think that led me to become a writer.   What do you think is the most important thing when you write?   The reason empathy is vital is that you need to think from the perspective of a chair when you are writing a poem. Not how men would view an ordinary chair. The sadness and the form of the chair from its perspective; the people who stay for a while and leave the chair must think about various ideas like how the chair would feel. Even things in this studio, these small cables, lights, three of you sitting...

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 ...
