K-Sports Growing Into a Global Celebration   2020.07.13     Due to the COVID-19 pandemic spreading across the world, economic and cultural activities in many countries shrunk in size, not to mention those in Korea.

Writer Kim Soo-hyun

Korean Authors   Writer Kim Soo-hyun   2021.09.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, I am Kim Soo-hyun the author of I Decided to Live as Me (Woods of Mind’s Books) and Comfortably Without Trying Too Hard (Dasan Books).   Why did you choose the profession of writer?   In my case, I had a strong feeling that I had to ‘live like other people’ for some unknown reason. I tried very hard to adhere to this belief but it didn’t really work out, so I started thinking ‘if this is how its going to be’ it would be better to spend my energy on things I really want to do and put my effort into such things.’ So I quit my job and started writing about what I really wanted to talk about with some seriousness - and this became the book you know as I Decided to Live as Me.   What kind of person do you think writers are?   Writers are ‘Process is mentee’, ‘Result is mentor’ is what I think. Many people might feel ...
