him.\u003cbr\u003e Over the years, \"Alsatang\" has been loved by children around the world, as well as by all generations, for its delicate and beautiful portrayal of communication, understanding, and the process of inner growth. \u003cbr\u003eThis reissued book offers a deeper appreciation of the story through newly added artistic elements and structure, along with the original's warm message,

playing marbles alone in the vacant lot today as well.\u003cbr\u003e Dongdong drags his dog, Guseul, to the stationery store to buy a new Guseul.\u003cbr\u003e What Dongdong picked up there was a candy that looked a little special.\u003cbr\u003e But there's something strange about this candy.\u003cbr\u003e The moment I put a lollipop in my mouth, my ears perk up and I start to hear someone's voice.\u003cbr\u003e The voice can only be heard while the candy in the mouth melts and disappears. \u003cbr\u003eWhose inner thoughts did the six candies Dongdong ate reveal? If I had these candies, whose feelings would I be most curious about?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e#Finding the Voice of Your Heart: The Magical Candy Called by Desperation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Whether I'm a child or an adult, there are times when I don't know my own mind.\u003cbr\u003e Because I don't know my own heart, I can't properly understand what the other person is saying, and I say things I don't mean.\u003cbr\u003e Their hearts keep drifting apart, and the gap between them is widening further.\u003cbr\u003e Here's another kid like that.\u003cbr\u003e Dongdong, who has difficulty communicating, plays in his own world.\u003cbr\u003e His only friends are a few marbles and his dog, Marble.\u003cbr\u003e Dongdong, with his round face and ear-covered bowl-shaped head, is absorbed in playing marbles every day.\u003cbr\u003e Like a single, detached bead... he played alone without any friends, and his grandmother, who was by his side instead of his mother, passed away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The dog, Guseul, increasingly avoids Dongdong, and her father only nags her all the time. \u003cbr\u003eDespite this harsh reality, Dongdong tries hard to make up his mind.\u003cbr\u003e Being alone isn't bad.\u003cbr\u003e Playing marbles alone is fun... “I need new marbles.” One day, Dongdong heads to the stationery store to buy new marbles instead of a new friend.\u003cbr\u003e My dog, Guseul, is also going with me.\u003cbr\u003e (It seems like he's being dragged along rather than 'together'.) Perhaps it was from this moment that a new determination arose in Dongdong's heart? Dongdong's footsteps as he heads out to buy new beads may be an expression of his earnest cry and determination to move towards a better world.\u003cbr\u003e At the stationery store, Dongdong finds strange candy instead of new beads.\u003cbr\u003e But when I rolled a piece of candy in my mouth, magic happened.\u003cbr\u003e My ears were opened, my closed ears were opened, and my long-closed heart began to open.\u003cbr\u003e The magic candy lets Dongdong hear the voice of his heart that he had never heard before. \u003cbr\u003eHumans weren't the only ones who could communicate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You can communicate with animals, plants, and even objects.\u003cbr\u003e The appeal of an old sofa, the sincerity of a pet dog, the confession hidden behind a father's nagging, the well-being of a longed-for grandmother, the greetings of fallen leaves falling like blessings in the sunlight, and even the courage that wells up from within.\u003cbr\u003e Dongdongi listens to their voices as they are.\u003cbr\u003e ‘Listening’ goes beyond simple hearing.\u003cbr\u003e It is a deep effort and will to understand the other person's words, feelings, thoughts, and even the hidden meaning behind them.\u003cbr\u003e Through Alsatang, Dongdong learns to listen to not only others but also his inner self, realize true communication, and grow by forming relationships with the world. \u003cbr\u003eAre there feelings you haven't grasped? Are there feelings you haven't reached out to, or truths you've hidden without even realizing it? If, like Dongdong, you desperately need the magic of candy, if you seek to hear all these feelings, you will! May your will, your earnest desire, become the \"candy\" that opens the door to true communication!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e#2024 A New Taste of \"Alsatang\": A New Visual Transformation and a Deeper Narrative\u003cbr\u003e Republished after seven years, \"Alsatang\" stands out with its new visual changes attempted in the cover, inserts, pages, and frames.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e First of all, on the cover, Dongdong is holding a clear candy instead of a pink candy.\u003cbr\u003e This reflects the original creative intention of the author.\u003cbr\u003e Because the last transparent candy that Dongdong ate had the most important meaning in the story.\u003cbr\u003e This transparent candy, which is “still quiet no matter how much you suck on it,” is a simple candy with no magical effects. \u003cbr\u003eBut even without magic, Dongdong can speak his mind.\u003cbr\u003e So Dongdong decides to “say it first.”\u003cbr\u003e It is a reflection of one's true voice and will.\u003cbr\u003e This candy must be transparent, because when I look at myself with a clear and transparent mind, I can fully understand the world around me.\u003cbr\u003e So, transparent candy is the 'core' and 'foundation' of the candy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When you open the front cover hidden under the cover, a close-up of Dongdong's face moves out of focus, and the scene switches to Dongdong and Guseul standing in a sun-lit living room.\u003cbr\u003e It feels like looking at a warm photo.\u003cbr\u003e This composition creates a sense of movement and liveliness like a movie scene within the limited space of paper, increasing the reader's immersion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe scenes and paratexts that were on the cover and inside pages of the existing book—the scene where the empty lot where people used to play alone transforms into an empty lot where people play with friends, the fallen leaves and marbles on the ground, and the opening line, “I play alone”—were naturally incorporated into the main text.\u003cbr\u003e These changes delicately and actively show Dongdongi's inner growth and transformation, and further enrich the narrative of Alsatang.\u003cbr\u003e The inside cover, which utilizes the green paper and margins that signify growth and new beginnings, delicately and beautifully concludes the story, conveying a deep lingering feeling and the breath of the story to the reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The various beings that convey Dongdong's psychological state and feelings are delicately expressed through frame changes.\u003cbr\u003e In the first half, the square frame that symbolizes Dongdongi's separation from the world gradually transforms and expands freely as he learns about the minds of beings. \u003cbr\u003eThe appeal of an old sofa, the conversation with the dog Guseul, and the image of Dongdong running outside following the sound of falling leaves are transformed into a circular frame reminiscent of candy, visually expressing a state of inner recovery and a much lighter mind.\u003cbr\u003e These visual changes allow readers to more deeply understand and empathize with the protagonist's growth and transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The inside cover includes a storyboard written and drawn by the author himself, allowing readers to glimpse the process of creating the work.\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, the author's signature and Dongdongi's image engraved in gold on the cover flap add to the charm of wanting to collect it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In addition, the handwritten letters containing the emotional messages conveyed by the sofa, marbles, father, grandmother, and fallen leaves are a meaningful result of collaboration with the author's family and acquaintances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e# The \"Alsatang\" universe unfolds in the Storybowl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“What we need to make life sweeter is storytelling.” _ Baek Hee-na\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Baek Hee-na's character and scene settings are meticulous and delicate.\u003cbr\u003e Dongdong, who has difficulty communicating, is awkward in expressing his feelings and cannot accept the feelings of others.\u003cbr\u003e To visualize this, the artist made the eyes, nose, and mouth small, and covered the ears with a bowl-shaped head.\u003cbr\u003e (After eating the candy and opening his ears, Dongdong begins to converse with the world, and in the process, his covered ears are revealed) Dongdong's father also symbolizes that he is an adult who has difficulty communicating through the light reflected on his glasses lenses.\u003cbr\u003e (Dongdong's confession reveals his father's true feelings in his hazy eyes beyond the lens) Also, the friend who appears next to Dongdong is wearing the sweater of Hongbi, the main character of \"Cloud Bread.\"\u003cbr\u003e He is another side of the affectionate Hongbi and an old friend who remains only in the author's heart. \u003cbr\u003eFamiliar scenes from the author's real life also stand out.\u003cbr\u003e The text of Dad's Nagging was inspired by things the author's son often heard from his father.\u003cbr\u003e Because these were words I was tired of hearing, I was able to fill them all in an instant.\u003cbr\u003e Also, the scene where the son hugs his father was actually sketched after the son hugged his father.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The scene where Dongdong approaches the trees bathed in autumn sunlight was the most important scene for the author and the scene he put his heart and soul into.\u003cbr\u003e He captured the sight of the falling leaves against the sunlight, capturing a fantastical yet warm glow.\u003cbr\u003e Dongdongi goes out of the house, listening to the sounds coming from outside.\u003cbr\u003e This is the moment when he takes a step towards the world on his own.\u003cbr\u003e As if welcoming him, the maple leaves falling in the autumn sunlight greet him. \u003cbr\u003e“The falling of leaves signifies separation, but the fallen leaves become fertilizer for new shoots to emerge next spring, so it also signifies a new beginning.\u003cbr\u003e So, the goodbye of fallen leaves is both a ‘goodbye to parting’ and a ‘goodbye to meeting.’” As the author says, Dongdongi’s autumn is not sad.\u003cbr\u003e Like leaves of various colors, children still have many dreams and possibilities…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e# Round things: Candy and the universe\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Candy, beads, Dongdong with a round face… 《Candy》 is full of round things.\u003cbr\u003e As Dongdong said, playing marbles is fun.\u003cbr\u003e The way round marbles collide and repel each other reveals various aspects of our human relationships.\u003cbr\u003e The sweet candy that slowly melts in your mouth reminds you how precious life's short but sweet moments are.\u003cbr\u003e The circular shape has no beginning or end, and is perfectly harmonious without any imbalance. \u003cbr\u003eSo the shape of the sphere is cosmic and essential.\u003cbr\u003e Like planets and stars in space, 'alsa-tang' and 'beads' are like small universes that children can touch and feel.\u003cbr\u003e Just as planets move along their own orbits under the influence of gravity, we too influence one another and live our own unique narratives.\u003cbr\u003e We are, clearly, beings that move within the truth of the universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There is a small piece of candy in Dongdong's hand.\u003cbr\u003e If you put a candy in your mouth and roll it, you can hear the sound.\u003cbr\u003e ‘Sound’ has the power to awaken our hearts and souls beyond the realm of hearing.\u003cbr\u003e The magic candy transforms into invisible, intangible sounds (hearing) through the sense of taste.\u003cbr\u003e The magic happened when the material called candy changed into the immaterial called sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dongdongi listens to their voices. \u003cbr\u003eIt is a moment when his sincerity awakens his inner voice, helps him understand others, and awakens him to the reality that he is one being connected to the universe.\u003cbr\u003e 《Alsatang》 makes us dream of a harmonious life.\u003cbr\u003e It rediscovers the meaning of the small things in everyday life and reminds us that we are all connected in one great universe.\u003cbr\u003e Listen with an earnest heart.\u003cbr\u003e My endlessly expanding universe will open up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e# “Want to play with me?”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We know each other quite well.\u003cbr\u003e 《Alsatang》, which I met after 7 years, is still the same.\u003cbr\u003e It remains in my heart, empathizing and comforting me.\u003cbr\u003e Baek Hee-na's comfort is not always direct.\u003cbr\u003e Just put something in that spot at an appropriate distance.\u003cbr\u003e It doesn't matter who placed the magic candy.\u003cbr\u003e It was Dongdong who went to buy new beads to find his own and others' hearts, and it was Dongdong who found magic candy in a pile of dusty things.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Would you like to play with me?” Dongdong asks again.\u003cbr\u003e He gives us courage by saying that the world is still beautiful and that truth shines.\u003cbr\u003e Listen and respond to his quiet invitation.\u003cbr\u003e This is how Baek Hee-na comforts.\u003cbr\u003e The author does not want his story to be obscured by numerous awards and fancy adjectives.\u003cbr\u003e The author's simple sincerity in wishing for the story to be told as a story is the true meaning of this republication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I hope that \"Alsatang,\" which has returned in the new spring, will remain in the hearts of readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And, I hope that the story of “Alsatang” will become “your Alsatang” that speaks to my heart and someone else’s heart!
