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.

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...

K-MUSIC K-MUSIC, the World-Class Music that has Fascinated the World 2020.11.02 You may not have heard of it at all, but no one listens to it just once. That is what they say about K-Music. Addictive melodies, romantic lyrics, and the spicing-up effects and perfect dance movements of K-Music make you feel like you have received a gift filled with stories. As such, Korean music goes beyond being just a piece of “music” that you listen to where melodies and instrumental sounds make a simple mixture; it has a more profound meaning as “general art” that combines bountiful visual contents and colorful performances.
