『Kangwon-guk's Speak Like an Adult』, which sparked a craze for studying speaking, has returned with a revised edition commemorating its 100,000th copy sale.
Author Kang Won-guk has been a speechwriter since 1990 and served as an administrative officer in the speechwriting office of former President Kim Dae-jung and as a speechwriting secretary for former President Roh Moo-hyun.
For eight years, I have been refining the President's words and writings, and I have been thinking hard about how I can move the hearts of many people with easier and more refined language.
"Kang Won-guk Speaks Like an Adult" is the result of his reflections, and is a book that collects the most popular episodes from the KBS 1 Radio program "Kang Won-guk's Words Like an Adult," which he hosted.
In the revised edition, new manuscripts were added and manuscript notes were created to select famous passages from the book, increasing its collection value.
Author Kang Won-guk said of the revised edition, “I have been treated with great respect.
Thankfully, it was chosen by 100,000 readers.
In the three years since its publication, I have received many questions about 'adulthood'.
“I asked myself again and again whether I was living like an adult and whether my words were adult-like,” he said, revealing his thoughts.
He says that adults are people who share and give, and that is why they study and grow on their own.
Adults are people who speak like adults, enjoy sharing rather than owning, and live a life of cooperation.
The author says, “I am not an adult yet.
I didn't become an adult.
But there's no doubt that he's becoming more and more mature.
“I grow a little bit every day,” he says, talking about his attitude of growing and moving forward every day.
It's a time when it's hard to find a mature adult.
Adults speak in an un-adult-like manner, and their words are full of nonsense.
How can we truly live like adults?
We need to set the record straight.
Because words are personality and life.
If you don't change your bad speaking habits, you will end up living with those bad speaking habits.
The body is forty or fifty years old, but the speech remains in the twenties or thirties.
"Speaking Like an Adult in Gangwon Province" looks back at our language, which is losing its dignity day by day, and provides guidelines for speaking and living like a true adult.
This book will become the cornerstone of your language studies, which will grow and develop day by day.

Into the book
Adults say little and say a lot.
They interfere, meddle, and do not try to teach.
Be an example and have a positive influence on others.
It gives comfort, courage and enlightenment.
You should know that words that have nothing to gain from it are just nagging from an old fart.
--- p.10
Is listening better when you listen with your ears? Or is listening better when you take the time to listen? No.
You have to listen with your heart to hear well.
What does it mean to listen with your heart? It means listening from the speaker's perspective and situation.
After listening, find something you can do and do it without making a fuss about it.
--- pp.26-27
Words are like water.
Adults should be a sea of words for children.
It is the sea that accepts everything.
As long as there is a sea, the river will not give up on the sea.
It meets a rock and curves, but it flows toward the sea.
--- p.65
When do we slip up? When we're close, when we're excited, and when we're embarrassed.
First of all, if you are close, you become careless.
You end up speaking without paying attention, assuming that they will understand whatever you say.
However, the listener may be even more hurt and think, 'How could someone who is close to me say something like that?'
Words said in jest, words that you think are comforting, can become a dagger to the other person.
In a way, it's natural.
There are no expectations from people with whom you have a bad or distant relationship.
I don't really care what he says.
The problem is the close friend.
The closer the relationship, the more careful you have to be with your words.
--- pp.161-162
Ernest Hemingway said, “Words create reality.”
That's true, actually.
If you pronounce it aloud, it becomes 'maal', which means grain of the heart.
So, words are the grains of the heart.
Words are your thoughts and feelings.
When your words change, your thoughts and heart change. When your thoughts and heart change, your actions change. When your actions change, your habits change. When your habits change, your reality changes.
Everything goes as said.
They interfere, meddle, and do not try to teach.
Be an example and have a positive influence on others.
It gives comfort, courage and enlightenment.
You should know that words that have nothing to gain from it are just nagging from an old fart.
--- p.10

Everything goes as said.

Publisher's Review
Speaking classes by bestselling author Kang Won-guk
The beginning of a lifelong study of language for a dignified life
"Kang Won-guk Speaks Like an Adult" is a book that contains the essence of speaking by Kang Won-guk, a bestselling author with 500,000 copies, lecturer, and former presidential speechwriter.
He has been agonizing over what to say more than anyone else, refining the president's words and writings.
I was obsessed with how to move the hearts of many people with simple, dignified language.
Thus, through many broadcasts and lectures, especially KBS 1 Radio's "Kang Won-guk's Words," he captured the hearts of many listeners with his humble yet clear, serious yet witty speech.
"Kang Won-guk Speaks Like an Adult" is a collection of the most popular episodes from KBS 1 Radio's "Kang Won-guk's Words."
It is packed with wisdom to cultivate adult-like character in various situations, such as reflecting on your own speech habits, how to build good relationships with others, adult attitude and dignity, smooth conversation skills, persuasive speaking, and speaking in a way that is recognized in the workplace.
It's full of wise advice on speaking, something every adult has thought about at least once, from specific and practical tips on how to tailor reports to different bosses, to how to cultivate leadership qualities.
"If you don't want to live with bad speech habits, change your speech habits."
Adult language study for a life that grows every day
He emphasizes that the saying, “Speaking like an adult in Gangwon-guk,” is life itself.
Our brains cannot distinguish between reality and imagination.
When you imagine something with words, your brain accepts those words as facts and creates reality that way.
So, if you have bad speaking habits, you will live with bad speaking habits, and if you have good speaking habits, you will live with good speaking habits.
This is why we must continue to study speaking.
Ernest Hemingway said, “Words create reality.”
That's actually true.
If you pronounce it aloud, it becomes 'maal', which means grain of the heart.
So, words are the grains of the heart.
Words are your thoughts and feelings.
When your words change, your thoughts and heart change. When your thoughts and heart change, your actions change. When your actions change, your habits change. When your habits change, your reality changes.
Everything goes as said.
-From "Announce Your Goals"
When words change, thoughts change, when thoughts change, actions change, when actions change, habits change, and when habits change, reality changes.
This is the power of words and the butterfly effect of words.
So how can we change the words?
Can we easily change words that have been ingrained in our mouths for decades?
The author says that you can look back on your words every day, reflect on them, and change them.
The author suggests six methods.
First, I speak carefully about what I say.
Second, listen carefully to what other people say and find things that make you think, 'I shouldn't say that.'
Third, don't be vague.
Fourth, if it's the same thing, express it positively.
Fifth, speak appropriately.
Sixth, don't say anything you'll regret.
Words are personality and character.
If you look back on yourself and study, your speech as an adult will also grow.
Daily growth is the joy and pleasure of life.
This book will serve as the cornerstone for a life of daily growth and lifelong study of language.
Publishing a revised edition commemorating the sale of 100,000 copies
A special appendix with selected famous quotes and handwritten notes
The collection's value has been further enhanced with the inclusion of new manuscripts.
『Speaking Like an Adult in Gangwon-guk』 has been further updated through revision.
The content has been further strengthened with the addition of new manuscripts such as “The Camel, the Lion, and the Child” and “A Life Shining Like a Star.”
Additionally, we plan to produce a special appendix of handwritten notes containing famous quotes from the book to make it more useful to readers.
Here, the cover design using Lee Ji-woo's work 'Good Sound' is given a fresh look.
In publishing the revised edition, author Kang Won-guk recalls the moment he stood on his own two feet as an adult.
When my job stopped hiring me, I had to become independent.
At the age of fifty, I was a real adult who had to support my family.
But I didn't know how to do anything.
At fifty, I was not an adult.
I was just a middle-aged man who couldn't even earn 2 million won a month with my own hands.
At that time, the words of former President Roh Moo-hyun suddenly came to mind.
“The progress of history is when the majority enjoys what the minority enjoys.
You've worked at the Blue House for eight years, so share what you've seen, heard, and learned with many people.
That is your duty.
Otherwise, you are privileged.”
_From “Publishing the Revised Edition”
An adult is a person who shares and gives.
A person who is helpful to others.
To do that, I study and grow on my own.
The author lives by constantly studying, writing, and lecturing to become a mature adult.
"Gangwon-guk's Speaks Like an Adult" is the fruit of the author's constant self-study and reflection.
"Kangwon-guk's Speaks Like an Adult" will be a shining beacon for readers who contemplate true adulthood and yearn for a dignified life.
