Author-illustrator Kim Dong Su

Korean Authors   Author-illustrator Kim Dong Su   2021.10.05     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   In my case, it’s about “coexistence”. I think it’s a story about coexistence. Hi, I am Kim Dong Su, an illustrated book writer.   How was your childhood?   I was just an ordinary kid. I like to draw so I attended an art academy on and off. My dream was also to become a painter.   What motivated you to become a full-time writer?   I majored in Western painting at college. There was a magazine called Monthly Illustration. Seeing that, I thought I also wanted to do something like that too. In that magazine there was a contest that often appeared. I entered the contest called the Korea Publishing Art Competition and I won the grand prize. That made me wonder whether I could do this as a full-time job. There was the Borim Creative Picture Book Contest in which I received an excellence award. They publish the book when y...

Publication Industry’s Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Publication Industry’s Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic   2020.07.13     Critique and composer Choi Jung-Woo said in his article “Era of Social Media: What is the Role of Humanities (The Kyunghyang Shinmun, December 18, 2012)” that Twitter and Facebook are referred to as bywords for modern “communication” but are never in the style of “dialogue,” and as such are paradoxically against the communicative function expected of them as “Social Networks.” He argued that Twitter is closer to laying out “testimonies” and that Facebook is more like an “exhibition” than being a platform for communication, and that with the two having more of a “monologue” characteristic, Social Media is having a negative impact on the development of humanities.Seven years and four months later, in his article “Humanities in the era of Social Media: The Gaze of Signs Emerging with Intervention (Giheok Heoui Vol. 504, January 20th, 2020)”, he once again claimed that “Even though t...

Author-illustrator Lee Myoung Ae

Korean Authors   Author-illustrator Lee Myoung Ae   2021.09.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   I draw and write illustrated books. I’ve been making books for about 15 years now. I’m Lee Myoung Ae, an illustrated book author.   When did you first dream of becoming a children’s book writer?   I didn’t stand out academically. I was an ordinary child with nothing that particularly stood out about me. The first time I was praised for drawing I was in middle school. My art teacher recommended that I major in art. I thought about it a lot at that time What am I good at? What made me happiest? I decided that was painting.   Do you have any particular habits?   Whilst making illustrated books is my job, one of my habits is keeping a picture diary. Actually, people rarely do this after doing it in elementary school, but I think a picture diary where you can write and paint together is the most important habit one ca...
