Publisher's Review
Poet Jeong Ho-seung said that after years of waiting and seeing the Buddha in person at Unjusa Temple, he was able to clear his blocked mind and write the poem “Sweet Scenery” in one breath. He advises that if there is something on your mind, don’t put it off and get started.

Poet Kim Young-chun unravels an unforgettable memory from a time when he happened to see a mullet fisherman catching fish in a reservoir as a child.
The 'flutter' of a mullet as it leaps up from the water and leisurely disappears beyond the net.
He realized too late that he was on the same side as the mullet, and since then, the mullet has been fluttering in his heart for the rest of his life.

Poet Gong Gwang-gyu describes his father, who was shrunken from lung cancer, as a "soju bottle," saying that his father's generation endured the poverty and violence left behind by the scars of colonial exploitation and war with soju bottles.
He revealed his thoughts, saying that the poem "Soju Bottle" created in this way became his representative poem and was also made into a poem song by Kim Chang-hoon.

Poet Ko Du-hyeon recalls memories of living around the Sanullim Small Theater in front of Hongik University when he enjoyed listening to the music of the band Sanullim.
One day, while passing through an alley, he saw two toothbrushes leaning against each other in a toothbrush holder, vaguely reflected in a translucent window, and he was reminded of a young, newlywed couple.

Poet Han Yeong-ok calmly recounts the difficult times she endured due to her husband's cancer surgery and her own diagnosis of depression.
After going through such processes, the poem "Sorrow" was written in one breath, with two particularly thick eyebrows and thin lips that had become thin with age drawn strongly in the air.

Poet Na Tae-joo revealed that his poem "Grass Flower" received so much love from readers that 13 composers composed music for it, and that Kim Chang-hoon's poem song is unique in that it was created by combining "Grass Flower 1" and "Grass Flower 2."

It was thanks to Sanulrim Kim Chang-hoon's poetry song project that poets of our time began to write about their representative poems.
Kim Chang-hoon is a member of the group Sanulrim, and is the lyricist and composer of famous songs such as 'Reminiscence', 'Monologue', and 'Grandfather of the Mountain'.
Before Sanulrim, he was the lyricist and composer of the song "What Should I Do" which won the grand prize at the 1st University Song Festival, and he also wrote the lyrics, composed, and produced the entire songs for singer Kim Wan-sun's 1st album [Tonight] and 2nd album [Alone in Front of the Garden].
