Bestseller "Ten Thousand Divings" by Song Hyun Lee
Switch ON for teenagers who want to run like crazy on ice
Look closely, this is where it gets real!

Author Lee Song-hyeon's full-length novel, "Switch ON," has been published.
This is the tenth full-length novel for young adults by an author who has diligently built up her literary world and has earned the trust of readers and critics through various awards in the field of children's and young adult literature, including the Ma Hae-song Literary Award and the Four Seasons Literary Award.


"Switch On" is a thrilling story of teenagers running hotly on the cold ice with sharp skate blades.
Daon, the protagonist who came to Canada with his parents when he was young and endured lonely days without any friends, vows to prove himself and win by playing ice hockey, a sport loved by the local children.
With the goal of becoming the best attacker in the NHL, he runs around the rink and pond hockey field day and night with his best friend Luke, and finally gets the C patch, which means 'captain', on his chest.
“Switch ON!”, which is also the title of this work, is a sign between the two of them, where their best friend Luke calls Daon “On” and gives him a signal that the switch is turned on at the stadium.


In his previous work, "Ten Thousand Divings," the author tells the story of the dreams and frustrations of teenage athletes who overcome the fear of never getting used to falling from a 10-meter-high board, the thing that humans fear the most.
The psychology of the moment of diving, the friction of the water surface at the moment of entry, and the description of the sensations underwater were as if the reader was directly placed on the diving board.


In this work, 『Switch On』, every time you turn the page, the sharp sound of ice breaking on skate blades rings out, and cold ice shards fly towards the reader from all over.
It immerses you in the action, following the characters racing across the ice and breathing hot breath.


Daon, holding a broken ice hockey stick, and Joo Hae-in, a figure skater who is trying to overcome trauma and jump again, have lost their way on the ice, but still love the ice and have a heart that wants to run 'crazy' and hot on the ice.
The moment they face a wall harder and colder than ice, the author reveals the true story of the passion, frustration, worries, and friendship of teenagers who breathe hotly, their breath rising to their chins.


“There’s no reason you can’t run just because you’ve lost your way!”
The trajectory of the story drawn by the skate blade on the ice

The main characters of "Switch On" skate at their own pace and direction, and hesitate on the ice for their own reasons.
Daon is a boy who endured the icy cold of life in a foreign land where he did not speak the language after immigrating to Canada.
As I picked up my hockey stick, I found my place on the ice, but as time went on, the discrimination and insults on the court became unbearable, not to mention unfamiliar.
In the end, Daon responds harshly to the blatant discrimination and provocation, and at that moment, Daon's hockey stick breaks.


Joo Hae-in, who came from Korea, was also serious about figure skating to the point of coming to Canada alone for winter training, but at some point she became afraid of jumping and started to feel disillusioned with skating that she was not happy with, and she started to wander.
He also secretly confides his desire to run madly across the vast ice rink in front of him, not to fly.

The protagonists of this work love their time on the ice, but they lose their way in the reality that they can't run as crazy and hot as they want.
When the time it takes to pick up your sticks and skates is no longer enjoyable, you start to hesitate on the ice.
The more I do this, the more clear it becomes that my heart beats the most on the ice and I cannot just sit there and do nothing.


Readers will eagerly cheer for young athletes Daon and Haein to turn the switch again, and will follow their new path on the ice until the very last page.


Very high density, saturation, and speed
Sports 'nerd' Lee Song-hyeon's sports x coming-of-age novel

Author Lee Song-hyeon is a self-proclaimed sports enthusiast and sports fanatic.
He enjoys swimming and is also a water polo player.
He himself would say that he is very interested in all sports in the world.
This writer's love of sports is already evident in many of his works.


In "Ten Thousand Divings," the story of a high school diver is told, and in "Line," the story of a teenage athlete aiming to win a world championship in slacklining, a modern-day sport of tightrope walking.
In the 2025 publication, "Co-authored Only for Those Who Want to Make a Cool Deal," he also published "It's Glad I'm Not Cool," which was based on a one-day skateboarding class held at a board park.


In this work, "Switch On," the author completed a dense ice sports story based on his own figure skating experiences as a teenager.
He vividly describes the differences between the skate blades of ice hockey and figure skating, the texture of the sound of skates cutting through the ice, the shape and direction of the skate blades when braking on the ice, and how the ice bounces, all through his own personal experience of ice skating.
Thanks to this, the reader is able to immerse himself in real time on the ice as soon as he reads the first sentence.
As the protagonist breathes in the cold air on the ice, the reader will be able to feel it penetrate deep into his lungs, and the readers will be able to breathe in the heat of the seventeen protagonists on the ice, running, flying, and colliding with each other, exhaling the hottest breath.


The author unfolds the story of seventeen-year-old Daon, who sharpens his skates and races through the sharp cracking sound of ice cutting through them, at a fast pace.
Readers will find themselves cheering fervently on the protagonist, who struggles to keep up with his pace, and telling him that he doesn't need to shrink back because he's lost his direction, and that he can run "like crazy" if he wants to.
At the same time, you will find yourself pledging to 'switch on' on the ice, knowing where your stage is.
