"Who Will Come to My Funeral When I Die?", which has comforted many readers with its delicate perspective and warm sentences on human relationships and happiness, is presenting a cover edition featuring photos by photographer Lee Kyung-jun to commemorate the sale of 150,000 copies.
Lee Kyung-jun, who has established himself as one of the most sensational photographers of this era, receiving love calls from various fields, including collaborations with famous domestic musicians and global brands, adds even deeper resonance and lingering emotion to the sentence, “Who will come to my funeral when I die?”


This book makes us, who are busy walking and forgetting the preciousness of each moment, stop for a moment and take in the greenery around us, and gives a comma to our hearts that are full without any gaps.
Also, as author Lee Kyung-jun said in his recommendation, it provides “an opportunity to look back on the relationships and time in my life, like unexpected encounters and farewells in life.”
“He who has not loved life for a single moment does not know how beautiful life is.
So, I hope you love life, your work, and the people around you.
As the author says, “I hope you are happy in the end,” every moment of life is connected to ‘happiness.’
So, I hope you don't miss anything precious on the way to your ultimate destination.

For those of you who, on those difficult days when it feels like there's nothing left, when you need warmth and comfort, and who still want to be happy, I hope this book will be a comma between the long sentences of life.

“About death, about memory,
Every time I think about sadness
I will survive for a long time,
I want to stay by your side until the end.
“When I die, who will come to my funeral?”

Anyone who has tried with all their heart knows.
While there are people you can't catch no matter how hard you try, there are also people who will be by your side your whole life, no matter what.

Despite this, I tend to give my all in relationships.
To ease the regret for people who have passed away while living.
When it comes to interpersonal relationships, it's always a relief to keep the thought of 'anyway' in mind.
I can focus more on my person, and thus love them more.
Heart, relationship, love.
Only when you pour everything out can you realize its true value.
Goodbye, lost hearts.

Don't worry.
Nothing has happened yet.
Even if that happens, it is something you can solve with your own strength.
I hope that there are a few more things that were possible because of you.
After all, today's worries will disappear tomorrow.
--- p.97

You are someone who will never be forgotten.
You may have emerged as a historical figure in someone's life, or you may have emerged as a great revolutionary in someone's life.
Anything is fine.
I hope you will be recorded as a memorable page in someone's history.

If your convictions are shattered, you will feel helpless.
It's like I feel like if my boiling heart cools down, it won't be able to boil again.
So what do we do when we break down and cool down?
Should we rekindle the fire, strengthen our convictions, and build it higher?

No, those things will be less hot and less hard than before.
When you feel like you're breaking down and getting cold, take a break.
Because it still feels like we're far away from where we'll be arriving.
Let's take a break.
Let's look to the side without thinking about anything.
It's important to be hot and not break down, but what we need right now is rest.
Let's take a little break, just a little bit.
When you feel like something is too difficult, it's okay to take a break.
That's right.

I had to know what I liked and what I didn't like.
What will make you sad and what will make you emotional?
What am I good at, what can I do for a long time, and what do I think I am lacking?
As I made efforts to get to know myself one by one, I naturally went through the process of liking myself.
--- p.202

When we talk to countless people and listen to countless conversations, we eventually come to realize that we each exist in different colors and are in different situations.
So, when having a conversation, I think we need to fundamentally recognize that 'we are all different' and, going further, create a space in our hearts to understand the other person's situation and feelings.
