“There’s a ghost under the sofa!!”
Gulp! The Secret World Under the Sofa That Swallows Things

Today, too, Su-bak is lying on the sofa reading a book.
Then, with a “thud!” something fell out of my pocket.
Supak, who was looking under the sofa to pick up something, was startled when he met two shining eyes! “There’s a ghost under the sofa!” At Supak’s words, his friends looked under the sofa one by one, but they didn’t see a ghost, only things.
As he took out the dusty items one by one and blew into them with a “Whew~~~!”, puzzle pieces, crayons, and other items that Su-bak had lost before appeared.
But the thing I just dropped was nowhere to be seen.


Then, “Gulp!” a strange sound was heard from the sofa.
“It’s a ghost!” While everyone was trembling in fear, Su-bak gathered his courage and put his hand under the sofa.
Then, as I gathered my strength with my friends and pulled something out... a giant dust ghost appeared! There was only one way to get rid of it.
Everyone blew with all their might, shouting “Hoooooooooo~~!”
When the dust cleared, there was a fluffy ghost doll in its place.
That doll was a precious doll that Subak cherished very much.
Watermelon and his friends laughed at the ghostly commotion and cleaned the house thoroughly.
But where did the thing that Su-bak-i dropped go? It was delicious jelly!

“Gulp…!”
"The Gulp Sofa Incident" is a picture book that transforms "under the sofa," a place that every child has encountered at least once, into a mysterious and exciting space for exploration.
The endless objects under the sofa naturally bring back fond memories of those moments spent with those objects, and make us imagine the ghostly presence that might be lurking in the darkness.
Now, join Supa and his friends and bravely embark on an adventure into the secret and special world under the sofa!

Fear is blown away by Su-bak and his friends with a “Whew~~~!”
The true identity of the ghost is revealed in a thrilling twist?!

A giant ghost appeared from under the sofa! Watermelon and his friends all blew "whoosh~!" together to overcome their fear.
"The Gulp Sofa Incident" is an imaginative and delightful story about fear.
The fact that the way to overcome fear is not through fighting or running away, but through 'mouth breathing' is a warm charm that only writer Boram can show.
The story of Su-bak and his friends begins with them searching for a ghost under the sofa and lost items.
The friends ride in the robot vacuum cleaner, crawl in, and push long objects to start taking out the lost items one by one.
All the objects were covered in white and black dust, and to get rid of the dust, my friends blew the wind away saying “Whew~~~!”
Thanks to that experience, when a really large 'dust ghost' appeared, Subak and his friends were able to fight it by joining forces and blowing wind until their faces turned red.

The real magic of this book lies in the surprise twist at the end! Behind Soo-bak and his friends, relieved to discover the ghost doll's true identity, a lime-green sofa appears, its eyes sparkling, happily munching on Soo-bak's jelly.
Puzzle pieces, blue crayons, lemon candies, even a toy police car—all of Watermelon's possessions were swallowed! The real ghost that swallowed them all was none other than the sofa! This twist, which breathes new imagination into a familiar space, adds even more fun and lingering emotion to the story.
Meet Su-bak and his friends, and even a real ghost, in "The Gulp Sofa Uproar," filled with the warmth, playfulness, and loveliness of author Bo-ram!
