Writer So-yeon Park

Korean Authors Writer So-yeon Park 2022.01.03 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, my name is So-yeon Park. I write and offer lectures for people who work. I have written various books including High Performers Know How to Stay Simple: Working Habits of Top Performers (GILBUT Publishers) and I am also the CEO of Mentor Grace. Why did you become a writer? I came to a turning point and asked myself whether I would like to move forward after 12 years of working for a company.

Do you ha...

Being in a position to complain about the grievances of adults - I don't think it's children's literature. My Doksan-dong How was your childhood? 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...
