A space fantasy fairy tale with boundless imagination
Once a month, the Big Bang Market opens on Earth, where you can trade second-hand items with aliens!
This is a collection of short stories by author Eo Yun-jeong, including 『Ribo and Anne』 and 『Countdown to Space』, that present a cheerful yet heartbreaking story about the future society that children will soon face.
It deals with six incidents that occur as Earthlings and aliens interact in a space market called the 'Big Bang Market.'
Aliens are a staple of science fiction films and fairy tales, often portrayed as scary, dangerous, and mysterious beings, but the aliens in this book somehow seem familiar.
Earthlings participate in the first Big Bang Market with a mixture of anticipation and fear at the prospect of meeting aliens in person.
Useless items from Earth are selling like hotcakes among aliens, and Earthlings are flocking to magical items from outer space.
After the successful conclusion of the first Big Bang Market, the Big Bang Market live broadcast channel "Topf" was launched, and Earthlings and aliens continued to have meaningful exchanges by sharing their trading experiences.
Meanwhile, illegal transactions are discovered in Big Bang Market, and Big Bang Market is suspended for a while.
On the day when the reorganized Big Bang Market finally reopens, Earthlings watching the celebratory ceremony are surprised to see an alien.
"Big Bang Market" is a space fantasy fairy tale that begins with the assumption that one will meet aliens in person and trade goods. It features a comical and thrilling trading episode.
Six stories blur the lines between Earth and space, creating a breathtaking experience that makes us all feel like aliens.

Into the book
"good night.
The space courier selection test will now begin.
The first test is the most basic of the basics: the Earth Adaptability Test.
There are many different planets inhabiting the galaxy.
They each have different appearances and their bodies and sensory organs have developed to suit the environment in which they live.
“For these planetoids to be able to travel to and from Earth without any problems, they must be able to adapt to Earth’s air, smells, and climate.”
--- p.32
“Big Bang Market is a place where people from various planets meet.
“For smooth communication, please be sure to wear a real-time interpreter.”
“Oh, that’s right!”
Nabyeol took out a real-time interpreter from her pocket and put it in her ear.
--- p.55
A hippopotamus-like alien approached, snorting.
“Isn’t this guy cool?”
Nabyeol held out a photo card.
The alien reacted with wide eyes.
“Wow, it looks sweet, sour, and soft.”
--- p.56
“Let’s find something that can quickly eliminate the smell of farts.
“It looks like a very lethal gas, judging by the way the mom and puppy are freaking out.”
“I guess my Earthling dad is the type to stick to the sofa.
Let's also find out what separates the two.
“If I do it well, I think I’ll hit the jackpot.”
--- p.142
“I told you there is no taste like this in space.”
The Makum tribe chewed and ate the pencil that Yoo Seong-i offered.
“Is it that delicious?”
Makum was eating his third pencil, as if he didn't even have time to answer.
--- p.159
As Yooseong laughed out loud, the blue catfish laughed along, its golden beard twitching.
At that moment, Yoo Seong thought.
The blue catfish is a better alien than you think.
“I wonder if the blue catfish is thinking the same thing,” Yooseong asked, moving to the side.
“When does that expression appear?”

Publisher's Review
A world of children's science fiction that you can't see anywhere else.
Expanding horizons with a new genre called 'space fantasy'
Author Eo Yoon-jeong, who has won numerous children's literature awards for her fairy tales about space, family, communication, diversity, and dreams, has now decided to create an episode about the exchange between Earthlings and aliens.
"Big Bang Market," which began with the question, "What if Earthlings and aliens met and traded goods?", appears at first glance to be an absurd and ridiculous story.
Perhaps that is why author Eo Yun-jeong's fairy tales pique children's curiosity even more.
If you open the first short story of 『Big Bang Market』, "Starting the Big Bang Channel," with a curious mind, you will find elements that surpass your imagination everywhere.
First, the slogan of the live broadcast content of 'Big Bang Market', 'Topf', "The universe becomes fun" stands out, and it sounds like a spell that makes you completely immerse yourself in the story of Big Bang Market.
Next, your eyes are drawn to a character with a unique appearance that cannot be defined in a single word as being human, alien, animal, or object.
Here, the comments vividly convey the unfamiliar and thrilling trading experience of the first Big Bang Market, making you want to read the next story as soon as possible.
Unheard of sights and extraordinary events,
Fun beyond imagination
It contains six short stories centered around the Big Bang Market, where Earthlings and aliens trade second-hand goods.
Scenes where people eat eraser-equipped pencils as snacks, bean sprouts grow like trees, and everyone lines up to buy poopy diapers are both absurd and hilarious.
From live broadcasts, which have become a communication channel and part of children's lives these days, to online shopping platforms, idol goods, and even observation camera entertainment, let's take a look at how they are telling extraordinary stories using everyday backgrounds and familiar materials.
Expanding beyond Earth into space,
A torrent of twists and unexpected emotions that will leave you speechless.
As you read the story, giggling and almost out of breath, you stop at a certain point. This is the moment when unexpected characters and events take a turn.
The thrill of the twist is fleeting, but soon a feeling of a lump in my throat follows.
As I close the last chapter of this book's title piece, "Big Bang Market," I am overcome with emotion.
After reading all six fairy tales, you will understand.
What did author Eo Yoon-jeong want to say to young readers through the story of the transaction between Earthlings and aliens?
As I imagined the exchange between Earthlings and aliens, it naturally led to a discussion about 'diversity'.
I thought that not only the uses of things, but also what people like and value can be different.
The story of 'Big Bang Market' does not only stem from the differences between Earthlings and aliens.
We are all a little different, and that makes us special.
I hope that we can find our own values in these differences and respect and acknowledge each other.
Wouldn't the world then be more colorful and enjoyable than it is now?
