- From the review comments
The thrilling journey of a fresh candidate
The birth of a Korean ghost horror tale that combines courage in the face of fear and injustice with warmth in embracing the vulnerable.
The 7th Story King Award-winning novel by Choi Joo-hye, 『Ghost Director Tak Pung-un』, hosted by Biryongso in 2019, has been published.
Story King, the first literary award in Korea to introduce a "children's jury system," is a literary award directly selected by 100 children. It was created with the aim of actively exploring the intersection between readers' interests and the author's narrative.
By producing a variety of unique works, including 『The Detective and the Magician of the Twenty Questions』(1st), 『The Cheeky Boy's Cheeky Training』(2nd), 『Ratpostile』(3rd), 『Atomix』(4th), 『Clone Human Bong-gu Yoon』(5th), and 『Pinks』(6th), it has not only diversified the genre but has also firmly established itself as a success story of a new paradigm that revitalizes the stagnant children's literature world.
The 7th award-winning work, 『Ghost Director Tak Pung-un』, attracted attention from the Story King judging stage.
The final winner is decided by adding up the scores of the adult expert judges and the 100 child judges, each accounting for 50%. However, in this judging, the evaluations of the adult and child judges were so conflicting that the result was unknown until the moment the scores were added up, resulting in a fierce battle.
『Ghost Director Tak Poong-un』 won the award, overturning the adult jury's decision with enthusiastic support from the children's jury.
『Ghost Director Tak Pung-un』 is a ghost story that children both fear and love.
Takpungun, who has been training for three hundred years to become an immortal, is suddenly dropped into the human world on the day of the immortal exam and is forced to undergo a three-year practical training evaluation instead of the exam.
He trains and is evaluated under the supervision of the ghost supervisor, Jo Shinseon, who keeps the wandering ghosts from causing trouble. Readers are drawn into the story, wondering whether Tak Pung-un will be able to do well on the test and what score he will receive when his training is evaluated.
The judges gave generous encouragement to this work, which contains the thrilling real-life training of the freshman candidate Tak Pung-un, saying, “This work has created a Korean version of a ghost story by using our traditional story of summoning ghosts as its central motif.” They continued, “The traditional beings, such as the Jibakryeong, Jomagwi, Du-eoksini, freshmen, and even psychics, have been appropriately combined to create a new story that is both familiar and contains the pain of minorities.”
The story of the wild adventures of Tak Poong-un, a twelve-year-old boy who runs around ghost-infested places wearing a padded jacket and helps ghosts stop tormenting humans, will make readers eager to take on new challenges and adventures.

Demons unsealed by the sinkhole have begun to appear in the city!
A modern-day ghost story where ghosts from our old tales permeate the city.
"Fresh candidate Tak Pung-un! Welcome to the human world!"
Takoyun, a freshman candidate, receives training from the immortal Jo as a teacher to manage ghosts in the human world.
Every single action of Poongun is recorded in the 'Performance Score Record', and after three years, that record is used to determine whether or not he passes the final freshman exam. For Poongun, every day is a continuous training and test.
One day, when three years of training were going smoothly, a huge sinkhole opened up at the construction site in Segeut-dong where Poongun and Jo Shinseon lived.
Because of this, the monster Dooeoksini that was sealed inside comes out into the world, and to make matters worse, the 'Ghost Attendance Book', which is essential for managing ghosts, is stolen right before his eyes.
What kind of conspiracy is lurking behind the series of events that occurred one after another, seemingly by chance?
Will Poongun be able to overcome this difficulty and ultimately pass the immortal exam?
Author Choi Joo-hye said that while reading the story of Han Gong, who summoned ghosts and disciplined them every first night of the lunar new year in the book "Cheonye-rok," she was struck by the thought, "What if there were an entity in this city that disciplined ghosts without being noticed?" and wrote this piece.
Traditional beings such as the Jibakryeong, Jomagwi, Duoksini, the Big Dipper, immortals, and even psychics are appropriately incorporated into the story, and new imagination is added to present a familiar yet new Korean version of ghost horror.
Who is the evil spirit and who is the good spirit?
“I was a ghost even when I was alive.”
For a ghost supervisor who manages the wandering ghosts of this world to prevent them from causing trouble, the ability to distinguish between evil and good ghosts is of utmost importance.
This is because most of them are good ghosts who just wander around without causing any harm.
Another key point of this work is that Takpungun develops the ability to distinguish between evil spirits and good spirits.
During the desperate fight with Du-eok-sini, Tak-pung-un grows into a being who can look inward rather than outward.
The author portrayed the marginalized beings who live in the world but disappear without making a sound as 'life-saving ghosts', and successfully incorporated the pain of minorities into a lively and lively narrative.
Takpungun finally comes face to face with the pain of ghosts during his confrontation with them.
In this thrilling story, this fairy tale poses meaningful questions to young readers here and now.
Who are the evil spirits, and who are the good spirits? What is the standard for distinguishing good from evil?
