2025 Biryongso Literary Award Grand Prize WinnerJae-i, the 'academy doctor', has been to every academy he has ever been to.
But no matter how many academies I went to, I couldn't learn how to get along with a friend whose relationship had become strained.
A story about the precious friendships that still remain in a classroom where it's more important to report school violence than to reconcile with a friend who fought.March 21, 2025. Children's PD Kim Hyun-joo
“Even if I received an apology letter, I can’t play with you.”
A classroom where relationships are difficult to restore after the first school violence committee action
The Truth About Relationships You Can't Learn at Countless Academies
Lee Hyun-ji's "The All-Purpose Building Next to the School," winner of the 14th Biryongso Literary Award, has been published.
The Biryongso Literary Award has been selecting fresh and unique works every year for lower grades who are seriously starting to read independently, and award-winning works such as “Midnight Moonlight Restaurant,” “The Lottery Machine That Always Wins,” and “Inside the Pencil Case Deep at Night (Included in Elementary School Textbooks 2025)” have quickly become bestsellers and revitalized lower grade literature whenever they are published.
This year's award-winning work, "The All-Purpose Building Next to the School," is a problematic work that exposes the core problems that children today face.
It was selected as the winning work, receiving praise as 'a work that is absolutely necessary in this day and age.'
Jaei is a kid who has never been to an academy.
Jae-i, who has to go to academies every afternoon after school because his parents come home late from work, is a 'academy expert' who knows every academy.
But no matter how many academies I went to, there was one thing I couldn't learn: how to get back on good terms with a friend I had reported for school violence.
After his father reported his only friend, Park Seon-woo, as a perpetrator of school violence, their relationship completely deteriorated.
Jae-i's friendship with his friend, who didn't want to cause any harm or see any loss, became strangely entangled.
Jae-i happens to meet a suspicious, swearing old lady at a private academy on the 6th floor of a multi-purpose building, and while listening to her cryptic story about how "losing is the way to win," he begins to get hints about the truth about relationships that he couldn't learn even at those countless academies.
This work deals with the process by which a relationship between children that could have been reconnected enough becomes difficult to recover due to the adults.
It vividly and delicately reflects the competitive reality faced by children receiving private education at academies, as well as the difficulties faced by children today in their friendships.
The story is beautifully and deeply moving, with Jae-yi growing up as he gives the 'spider', which continues to build its nest no matter what anyone says, to the grandmother who doesn't know what academy to send her to and what else to teach her.
This is a story about the precious friendships that still remain in a classroom where it is more important to know who will report school violence first than to make up with a friend who fought with them. It is a story that is essential for children of this era.

Publisher's Review
Children grow up fighting, but the author sharply portrays the real problem of school violence when adults intervene in the fights.
In these times when works vividly reflecting the challenges faced by children today are rare, schools must change, and this work captures that urgency, making it a worthy award-winning piece.
This is a work that is essential for this era, and it would be great for children and adults to watch together.
-From the judges' comments (Kim Jin-kyung, Kim Ri-ri, Kim Ji-eun, Cheon Hyo-jeong)
■ Trial and Error in Relationships: What You Can't Learn at School
“You can’t learn everything at school.
“The most important things in life are things you must learn for yourself.”
Jaei, whose father is a lawyer who hates losing the most.
When his father reports Sunwoo for school violence because his best friend Sunwoo teased him by calling him an asshole, Sunwoo and his friends stop playing with Jaei.
Sorry for calling you a butthole.
I received an apology letter saying, 'Let's be friends from now on,' but that doesn't mean the relationship has truly been restored.
“Anyway, if you feel like Park Seon-woo is ignoring you, tell me.
Because I'll report you for school violence again.
If Park Seon-woo's mom says anything to you, tell her.
“You can report it as child abuse.”
“Even if you report it, we can’t play together.
“You said you wanted to get along, but you don’t.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it.
But anyway, we won.”
"The All-Purpose Building Next to the School" defines the trial and error in relationships that children may experience during their childhood as school violence, and points out the problematic behavior of adults that actually hinders the formation of friendships.
Jae-i feels like he didn't win the fight, even though he sees his father happy that he won, but he doesn't know how to resolve this relationship.
Even when his friends were talking about the accident that happened on the 6th floor of the Manneung Building, Jae-i quickly joined the conversation when the topic of 'academy', which he was confident in, came up.
“I moved to the buffalo math on the 4th floor last month.
My mom said that this academy is more difficult.”
■ Learn to lose time
“Go to your friends and do it like an old school.
I guarantee you that it will be more satisfying than spitting out a bucket of vulgar curses.”
Jae-i, who is isolated from his friends due to relationship strife, meets a swearing old lady on the 6th floor of the Manneung Building by chance and asks her to teach him how to swear so that he won't get bullied at school.
Jae-i wants to learn how to swear from his swearing grandmother and take revenge on his friends, so he tells her that he will quit the trial class, but his grandmother says that this is not an academy and that in human interaction, "losing is winning."
How can there be such a thing as losing being a win?
Whether it's soccer, dodgeball, or running, losing is just losing.
There's no one who comes in last and says, 'Wow, I won.'
To Jae-i, who cannot accept that losing is winning, his grandmother teaches him what a successful academy inside a multi-purpose building is.
Even though it may seem like a loss at first, Jae-i realizes that it is not a loss, and only then does he enter a new phase in his friendship… … .
Just as the grandmother's daughter, who had been sent to hundreds of academies and even went on to Harvard University, failed, Jaei cannot learn everything she needs to know to survive at academies.
Only when we consider what children truly need to live and what they need to learn will we be able to imagine a world beyond the omnipotent building.
