The fourth legend, this time a real 'eerie' story!

The fourth story in the legendary series by author Lee Ji-eun, "You'll know when you eat it: The Legend of the Tiger Watermelon," has been published.
Against the backdrop of an eerie forest, a grandmother with a worldly annoyance and various animals including a snow tiger, a bear, and a wild boar stare at one spot, smacking their lips.
The moment the title 'You'll know when you try it' is added to this, just looking at the cover, various stories begin to emerge.

Looking at the eyes that are staring intently at something while leaning against each other, and the expression of determination that says they will eat it any minute, I end up asking myself, 'What on earth do you want to eat?'
What story lies between the existence of "tiger watermelon," a phenomenon I've never heard of before, and the song-like incantation, "You'll know when you eat it"? "You'll know when you eat it: The Legend of the Tiger Watermelon" arouses curiosity from the cover, and its enticing story whets the appetite.


“I am not a watermelon.
“If you eat me, something big will happen.”
A special watermelon story that started with a small watermelon.

One day, after a long day of being sweltering, Granny Pat was soaking in the cold water of a stream, lost in thought.


'I'd love to just have a bite of watermelon.'

The animals in the forest are also tired from the heat.
That night, as everyone was wandering through the forest, their eyes wide like watermelons, shouting “Watermelon, watermelon!” like a spell, thinking, “Just one bite of watermelon!”, the snow tiger discovered dark watermelon stripes among the grass and quietly smiled in satisfaction.


But something about this watermelon feels off.
Even in the pitch-black night, the watermelon seemed to shine brightly as if it were the only one illuminated, which was unusual. But then, it finally spoke to the snow tiger!

“I am not a watermelon.
“If you eat me, something big will happen.”

The moment he found the watermelon, the snow tiger was already licking his lips, so how could the watermelon's threat have been acceptable to him? The snow tiger, unconcerned, retorted, "You'll know when you try it!" and then devoured the watermelon in one gulp...
Was the watermelon's prophecy true? What great events and twists await the Snow Tiger?

"You'll know when you try it!" A heart-pounding midsummer night's dream

The tiger, with its large, pale body and childlike eyes, pays dearly for ignoring the watermelon's warning.
As if things weren't bad enough, he ends up being chased by animals that were wandering around looking for watermelons...
Even if he were to deny it under pressure and say it was unfair, who would actually listen to him? With just one word, "Try it and you'll know!" Now cornered, the tiger watermelon is finally saved from danger with the help of Granny Pat, who suddenly appears with her back to the moonlight.
Whoosh, shoo, shoo.
Granny Pat jumps through the wind with a watermelon on her head, leaps over cliffs as if flying, dodges animals, and cools off in a valley.


“Wow, I’m going to live.”

While Horangsubak was enjoying a refreshing time, feeling relieved that only Granny Pat recognized him, he heard something unbelievable from Granny Pat… … .
What will be the ending of this chain of events that began with a small wish to just take a bite of watermelon and led to the humorous yet sometimes creepy spell, "You'll know when you try it!"?

"You'll Know When You Eat It: The Legend of the Tiger Watermelon" takes us somewhere between reality and imagination, with a chilling spoonful that will cool off a layer of the sweltering heat and a scale that crosses reality and dreams.
After filling out a questionnaire about the animals' stories about that night, let's just close our eyes and listen.
You might hear a loud shout from somewhere.


“You’ll know when you try it!”
