Writer Yoo Eun sil

Korean Authors   Writer Yoo Eun sil   2022.01.03     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, this is Yoo Eun sil, a chidren’s book writer. I am forty eight this year. It's been 23 years since I started writing books. It’s been 16 years since I published my first book.   What do you think children’s book writers are?   "They should be on the children’s side." I don’t think children’s book writers should be neutral. For example, there are writers that talk about the difficulties of parenting. They submit those books for competition. Being in a position to complain about the grievances of adults - I don't think it's children's literature.   My Doksan-dong       How was your childhood?   I lived on the outskirts of Seoul in the 1980s, in Doksan-dong. There were small businesses between residential areas. That was my neighborhood. My friends' parent...

Writer Kim Lily

Korean Authors   Writer Kim Lily   2021.12.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello. My name is Kim Lily, a children’s author as well as a rice cake shop owner who wrote My d’Artagnan (Changbi), Puff Snacks are Here (Munhakdongne), and Manbok’s Rice Cake Shop Series (BIR).   Did the memories from your childhood influence your works?   When I was young, I was a skinny, not pretty to look at, and not a bright girl. I think that is why I went through some difficult times. But whenever those times hit me, I survived by imagining things. At the time I remember desperately wishing for my wishes to come true. I do write many stories about wishes by reminiscing on those days.   Why did you dream of becoming a children’s book author?   I had this idea that a children’s book author is someone who ‘grows the flower garden of the imagination’. Since I had many siblings, I was sent to the countryside alone and spen...

Writer Yi Hyeon

Korean Authors   Writer Yi Hyeon   2021.12.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, My name is Yi Hyeon, author of children’s books and youth novels. Nice to meet you.   Why do you write youth novels?   People often talk about middle schoolers’ 'puberty', 'youth', and 'the young generation' as if they were disorders, and always look at the young in such a way. Also, there seems to be a tendency to generalize about young people. Such is the world of youth. So, I wanted to write youth’s stories. That's also why I have recently been meeting with some students.   Do you remember any young adults?   I heard the “dating story” of a child in the third year of high school. It was a love story that hadn’t yet started. I listened and I was thrilled. And through his concerns he showed different thoughts. It was very nice to see the way he is being nurtured and developed.   How do you decide the story for your...

Korean Authors   Writer Kim So-Young   2021.11.01     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, my name is Kim So-Young. I have worked as an editor for children’s books for a long time and now I meet children in the book club I manage. Meanwhile, I also recently published a children’s book titled The World of Children (SAKYEJUL).   Is there a specific reason you became a writer?   It has been a little over 20 years - if I count the years I have worked as a children’s book editor and as an instructor in the children’s reading club. There are things I have come to know and learn by working in the same field for a long time, and I wanted to share the knowledge, the impressions, and food for thought with many of those who also have these thoughts.   Speaking Reading Law (Dasan Edu), How to Read Children's Book (UU Press)     Is th...

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...

Writer Hwang Sunmi

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...
