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.

Author-illustrator Kim Sang Keun

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. At that time, I liked and earnestly watched shows such as Disney Cartoon Series and other entertaining TV programs in the evening. I would draw the characters and watch the recorded version over and over again when I was ...
