Into the book
Life can't always be happy, but I think happiness is more valuable because there are also unhappiness.
--- p.15
But if you still don't have the courage, I want to tell you this story.
The fact that even if a star shatters and dies, it gathers together with other debris to become a planet, and that even if it fails or collapses, it is an entity that can shine again.
--- p.27
Ultimately, we will continue to walk the path of life, but 85% of loneliness and anxiety will lurk everywhere, but perhaps we can endure it as one person.
--- p.67
A night when hearing a story for the first time in my life brought me immense comfort.
Yes, it's a small star, but it's shining.
Because you can live a satisfying life even if no one recognizes you.
--- p.151
Your life won't change completely just because you're worried about it.
Because good and bad days come together to make up life.
--- p.188
I, who was born as my mother's little daughter, now think about separation.
It's the hardest breakup in the world, one that feels like it will never happen.

Publisher's Review
Ranked #1 in the essay category immediately after its release in Japan!
Attention from all over the world, including Asia and Europe
The quiet gust of Korean essays
Because the world only looks at the giant stars that it has defined arbitrarily
To you who cannot see the light within me
In the midst of our arduous daily lives, we often forget our own light.
In a world where even the reasons for shining are increasingly being changed from 'myself' to others or society's standards.
To us, who live our lives chasing only the giant stars that the world has arbitrarily defined, while ignoring the small but precious light within ourselves, author Soyun offers silent and affectionate comfort.
"A Small Star, But It Shines" quietly reminds us that while everyone has their moments of brilliance, those moments cannot always be the same.
It's okay to fall, it's okay to stop for a moment.
The important thing is that in the meantime, we are definitely growing little by little.
This book is a record of that time of growth, believing in and supporting it.
This 'Midnight Edition' visually captures that message.
The quiet night scenery beyond the dim city lights, and the figure of a person facing loneliness within it, come across as a comfort quietly resting on the reader's shoulder.
Like starlight that shines brighter against the darkness, the words that it's okay to be small touch my heart like a ray of light.
Just like the small but dazzling stars in the night sky, let us not forget that the star that is you is also shining brightly at this very moment.
We all shine in our own unique way, each with our own unique appearance.
