Writer Yoo Sun-Kyong

Korean Authors Writer Yoo Sun-Kyong Facing Your Emotions and Naming Them 2022.08.01 We express our feelings through writings in the form of journals or texts. While writing, we think of words to describe the emotion with the question, “How am I feeling now?” and organize our thoughts. Words like angry, sad, or happy are used to express emotions. Still, we need more diverse expressions and phrases to describe the feeling in detail. Yoo Sun-Kyong, an author who is loved for her best sellers Emotional Vocabulary (Annes’ Library) and Vocabulary of Adults (Annes’ Library), focuses on putting names and expressions on feelings and lets readers face the feelings they disregard.
