“Even though I’ve seen so many Moon Sang-hoons
“The new face of Moon Sang-hoon is still in this book.” (Author Lee Seul-ah)


Sanghoon Moon, creator of the YouTube channel [Fathernus] with 1.33 million subscribers, has published his first collection of prose.
For those who remember him through various sub-characters such as Teacher Moon, Mr. Moon, and Mr. Moon Sang, this news may be new.
But for those who are his long-time fans, or have seen even a single sentence of his letters through the media, this is definitely news that they have been waiting for more than anyone else.


The introduction of the channel [Padernus], which represents Moon Sang-hoon, states, “We create hyper-realistic skits and comedy videos.”
His main job is to make people laugh with comedy that contains excellent character analysis and messages that transcend the flow of the times.
But even though he has a job that involves speaking to the public, 'speaking' is the most difficult.
They constantly “self-censor” for fear that people will misunderstand what they say.
But finally he confesses in this book.
The person who misunderstood his words the most was Moon Sang-hoon himself.
This book, as the title suggests, “I Decide Not to Misunderstand What I Say,” is a pledge to Moon Sang-hoon himself, and a new side of Moon Sang-hoon, whom we thought we knew well.

Into the book
I close my diary and look at the ceiling, thinking about the loneliness of not having anyone watching me.
You have to be mindful of other people's feelings and ask for permission to think.
I don't have any standards for taste or likes, so I keep asking other people if what I like is really good.
No matter what I try to do, I always need someone to watch over me.
Suddenly, I feel lonely because I can't do anything alone.

---From "No One Will See"

I like people who enjoy the night.
People who celebrate tomorrow and dilute today's regrets.
When night falls, I wonder if your nights are like mine.
Are you having the same 2:21 AM day as me?
Do you also recall things that become clearer when you close your eyes on a dark night like now?
Or are you looking at it, touching it, holding it, or throwing it far away?
I wonder if you, like me, would like to brag about these things to each other.

---From "Night Friend"

When I was young, I couldn't use it because it was still ticklish, when I got to that age, I didn't use it because it felt strange, and as time passed, I couldn't use it because it felt like it wasn't mine.
prime.
There is nothing that is not beautiful about it, from the appearance of the consonants and vowels crowded together, to the pronunciation sound that includes ㅊㅊ, to the meaning of blue spring, but I just don't know when to use it.
Even though I vaguely know that this is the moment and that it is passing by, I don't know how to hold on to it.

---From "ㅊㅊ"

A poet does not eat or drink in vain, and he does not get drenched in rain in vain.
The poet uses the snow, rain, and sea breeze that people avoid to freeze, thaw, and dry them as cruelly as the squid of the East Sea.
Among people who think that if you can write, you can write, writing poetry in Korean is like explaining the color black to someone who can't see.
Black is also an expression of those who have seen light, and black has no light to reflect, but the poet does not give up on explaining.

---From "The Poet"

Having spent my entire life praising and admiring happiness as something great, I've come to understand one thing about it.
Try not to think about whether you are happy now.
Just as the moment you realize you're concentrating while studying is the moment you're done concentrating, it's best not to blindly assume that happiness will solve everything.
This is especially true when it comes to the happiness of others.
---From "We Find Happiness Too Easily"

Not only my body but also my mind often catches cold.
When I catch a cold, I always reach for dawn, alcohol, and cigarettes like inertia.
I guess I have to hurt my body to clean up the scratches I've made while pulling out the lumps in my heart.
Since my body is often less sick, I keep draining blood from my body and transfusing it into my mind.
I think I often close my eyes to take care of myself, because I think that the me that I define is not a cell but a mind.
---From "Convincing and Understanding"

When I say I hate you, I count to five, and when I say I love you, I count to ten.
I often say that I was not honest because I spoke first and then wrote first.
I hope we can be considerate and not think that others' clumsy expressions are small-minded.
Let me tell you that my metaphors and wordplay have once again caught my fancy.
I will give only as much as I can to those I feel sorry for, to those I love, to those I hate, and if that amount of love is not enough, I will accept it and live with it.
---From "Saechigi"

Publisher's Review
“If censoring thoughts is the job of the masses,
“Showing my writings to someone feels like an autopsy.”

Speaking is the hardest part, though
The words of Moon Sang-hoon, who loves horses the most


The author of this book, Moon Sang-hoon, says that at one point, he “came to think too much about the things I could ask people in passing.”
As I live, I see and hear so many things that “speaking becomes more and more difficult.”
In reality, our words are like a double-edged sword.
As convenient as it is to convey easily, it is also easily uttered and leads to misunderstandings.
Hasn't everyone had the experience of misunderstanding or being misunderstood at least once?

Having loved literature since childhood, he even came to “obsessively avoid any kind of writing.”
Because writing requires more courage than speaking.
What motivated him to face writing again and start writing?
Yet he loved writing so much that he says that when he turned away from it, he felt that “no grass” grew in his heart.
That was the impetus for me to focus on writing for about two years, and this book, “I Decided Not to Misunderstand What I Say,” was born.


The author realizes this as soon as he finishes the book.
That the person who misunderstood what he said the most was himself.
And, as the title of this book suggests, I pledge to “never again misunderstand what I say.”
After facing the true 'me', I gained the courage to accept myself as I am.


“There may be some bugs or soft ones.

But since it has my dirt on it, I put it out without washing it.”

Someone's rough but honest writing
It also becomes another mirror


Author Moon Sang-hoon had a time when he learned “laughter during the day and trends at night.”
Perhaps the things I learned while avoiding my parents' nagging during those times are now shining through "Fathernus."
In the videos we often see, Moon Sang-hoon is always smiling.
But this book gives us a glimpse into another expression behind his smile.
From the tense expression that constantly censors his own words, to the innocent expression that always wants to be a boy, to the expression that blushes endlessly in front of those he respects.


The strange thing is, when I look at him making various expressions in the book, I strangely become curious about my own expressions.
The first thing you need to do to become your true self, like Moon Sang-hoon in the book, may be to examine your own expressions.
When I'm sad, when I'm happy, when I'm lonely, when I'm feeling miserable, I need to know what kind of expression I have and what kind of thoughts I have.


I feel like the sentences of thoughts he had while running all night are very similar to ours.
But we don't stop at that appreciation; we also look into ourselves to see how we are similar in every detail.
Clearly, what we saw was not a mirror, but a book and Moon Sang-hoon's face, but that's why after closing the book, I felt like I saw 'my' face.
In this way, we see ourselves through others and become a more authentic 'me'.
