Korean Authors Writer Seo Hyun There is always laughter in imagination 2025.10.02 Technology develops, and the world advances for a more comfortable life, but we are living so busily that we barely have time to look up at the sky. Just as we have grown distant from books that are read slowly and savored, we have grown closer to videos that we flip through quickly. So, what about picture books? Picture books may be quicker to read than texts, but they keep us on the page longer than videos, offering a leisurely kind of reading that helps us look at the world more warmly. And, this is not just limited to children. Picture books introduce children to a rich new world and help adults regain the leisure and laughter they have lost. And, there is a tender-spirited author who touches our hearts with such picture books - Seo Hyun. It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please say hello to our readers wit...
