Writer Yi Hyeon

Korean Authors Writer Yi Hyeon 2021.12.06 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, My name is Yi Hyeon, author of children’s books and youth novels. Nice to meet you. Why do you write youth novels? People often talk about middle schoolers’ 'puberty', 'youth', and 'the young generation' as if they were disorders, and always look at the young in such a way. Also, there seems to be a tendency to generalize about young people. Such is the world of youth. So, I wanted to write youth’s stories. That's also why I have recently been meeting with some students. Do you remember any young adults? I heard the “dating story” of a child in the third year of high school.

How do you decide the story for your...

ACHIMDAL BOOKS

Korean Publishers ACHIMDAL BOOKS Never Changing Literary Value Rises Radiantly and Brightly 2021.11.01 Literature is a genre with deep roots in the publishing market, but there is an increasing number of cases where the genre is excluded from the mainstream. On top of this, there aren’t too many literature publishers that completely fulfill their roles properly. In a reality like this, we cannot help but approve of ACHIMDAL BOOKS for fulfilling its role as a publisher of literature and continuing to make efforts, including the expansion of opportunities for poems, essays, and other works of literature to be published. Although it is a small publisher, there seems to be a light that shines with the rapid advancement of ACHIMDAL BOOKS, which works to broaden the literature base by searching for new ways of publishing literature in a clever way.
