Slow Starter (with Lee Seung-gi)
Both have been in entertainment for so long that their speaking voices are just too familiar. They sing well, but it feels like I’m at karaoke with a close friend.

The Great Passage
There’s a movie called ‘The Great Passage’, introduced in our country as ‘The Happy Dictionary’. I heard the book is more fun, but I ended up watching the movie first while lazily lounging at home.

The Cosmic World of Plants
You might wonder if splitting it into two volumes would’ve been better, but then the sales for the second book would’ve likely plummeted. Still, if you focus, it feels like studying for an interesting subject test. So, I recommend giving it a try!

Seven Years of Night
The emotional tidal wave 🌊 and the storm-like impact it has on reality felt like reading a Park Bum-shin novel. However, while Park Bum-shin often placed himself as the emotional lead, Jeong You-jeong’s protagonists are purely fictional, and that’s what’s different.
