“I am meant to write, I am meant to live.”

Now, a youth growth novel published by mid-career author Kim Yeon-su.
The title also includes the word ‘boy’, as befits a coming-of-age novel.
"Wonder Boy," which began serialization in the youth literary magazine "Foot" in the spring of 2008 and ended with an empty ending, was reborn with a completely new look exactly two years after its serialization was discontinued.


How do we become adults?
"Wonder Boy" is both a coming-of-age novel and a non-coming-of-age novel.
Because most adults still don't know how to realize that "all things in this world will turn out that way on their own."


After reading this novel, we will know.
The reason our nights are so dark despite the many stars in the universe is because “our universe is still young and still growing.” The reason our bodies embracing each other are so hot is because “we were still young and still growing.”
After reading this book, you will feel with your whole body how brilliant we are in the universe.

“I am meant to write, I am meant to live.”

It seems that no other modifiers are necessary for the novelist named 'Kim Yeon-su'.
He is a writer, and he is meant to write.

Novelist Kim Yeon-su, who is “meant to live like that,” presents a new novel four years after “The Night Sings” (2008).
『Wonder Boy』, which was serialized for a total of four times in the youth literature magazine 『Foot』 from the spring of 2008 to the summer of 2009, was reborn with a completely new look exactly three years after its serialization was discontinued.
Nineteen years after his debut, his seventh full-length novel, his eleventh novel, and his fifteenth book.
In the meantime, he serialized the first part of “Three Steps Towards the Sea” in the quarterly “Creation and Criticism” from the spring to the winter of 2009, and has been serializing the long novel “Heejae” in the quarterly “Consonants and Vowels” from the summer of 2011 until now, so even without considering other hidden meanings, it seems clear that he is “a person who lives by writing.”
So then, what kind of person is he, what kind of person is he?


“Everything in the world is subject to change.

I have changed and the world has changed.
Everything has changed, but
The one thing that cannot be changed is that this world must become a better place to live.
“For that reason alone the world changes.”

For several years now, we have been experiencing extremely cold winters.
People say it's like going back thirty years.
A young poet who sang that he wished his poetry could be an unlicensed place where anyone could come and live was arrested, and a politician who dedicated his youth to the democratization of this country passed away from a chronic illness.
A labor activist who staged a sit-in protest on top of a 35-meter crane has come down from the crane after 309 days.
There are still elderly people living alone who cannot endure the cold wave and are dying alone.
Three years ago, in Yongsan, five innocent civilians and one police officer were killed, and 192 writers issued a one-line declaration.

It was hard to believe that the water cannons that were thought to have disappeared were being fired at the citizens, and there were tear gas mixed in them, and some citizens collapsed in the water cannons.
