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...

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...

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...

We talk about the uniqueness and excellence of "hansik" by mentioning the efficacy or nutritional balance of some foods, such as kimchi and "jang" (Korean pastes).

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...
