[INTERVIEW / KOREAN AUTHORS]

Korean Authors Author-illustrator Kim Sang Keun 2021.11.01 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, it is nice to meet you. My name is Kim Sang Keun. I am an illustrator as well as a writer. What kind of person do you think an author is? A picture book illustrator is an “Eoreune”. “Eoreune” is a compound word meaning adult and child. In English, it is “Kidult”. The reason for my answer is that both my childhood as well as my adulthood are present in myself. I think it is the subject closest to “Eoreune”. Do you have a specific reason for deciding to pursue the study of animation? Throughout my childhood, I tended to encounter cartoons and animation when I watched television.

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 ...
