Jeonju, Jeollabukdo Old City; Matured and Refreshing   2020.07.13     Jeonju, the biggest city in Julloabukdo Province. A city filled with places to go and things to see. A city with a long history.

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.
