Writer Kim So-Young

Korean Authors Writer Kim So-Young 2021.11.01 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, my name is Kim So-Young. I have worked as an editor for children’s books for a long time and now I meet children in the book club I manage. Meanwhile, I also recently published a children’s book titled The World of Children (SAKYEJUL). Is there a specific reason you became a writer?

There are things I have come to know and learn by working in the same field for a long time, and I wanted to share the knowledge, the impressions, and food for thought with many of those who also have these thoughts.

Writer Heo Kyo bum

Korean Authors Writer Heo Kyo bum 2021.11.01 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, I debuted with Twenty Questions Detective and Magician (BIR Publishing Co., Ltd.) series. This is Heo Kyo bum, I have been working as a writer for 8 years now. What motivated you to become a writer? When I recall my childhood, I have more sad memories than happy memories. So if you ask why I became a writer, it's because I like stories. If you ask why I like stories, it’s because when I was young, I immersed myself in the world of stories and I was able to forget the hardships of reality. That became an opportunity for stories to play an important role in my life. Then, by chance, I thought I might be able to make a career from this. From the moment I decided to do that, I realized that no other dream could have replaced it. No matter how good the job, a great job for other people, or even if it was a job that could make me a lo...

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.
