Author-illustrator Myung Soojung

Author-illustrator Myung Soojung 2021.07.05 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, this is Myung Soojung, the illustrated book author. I published I Like Music for My Eyes (Gloyeon), The Skirt That Spreads to the End of the World (Gloyeon), and Big and Bigger (Gloyeon). How was your childhood? I grew up in the countryside. If I hadn’t experienced the city when I got older. Probably I couldn't have made these books. All day in the yard, I think I was very happy just looking at the clouds. Seeing the stars at night.

In that respect, I think an author is a sp...
